A BIG-SCALE BARGAIN
LONDON, 9th January. The Daily, Telegraph's Cannes .correspondent states1: "To-night it became generally known that the British and French Governments had been discussing for some time the;possibility of a new pact guaranteeing British military support to France in case of unprovoked German attack. I can safely state that M. Brand's concessions to Mr. Lloyd George's viewpoint during the last few days -were made with a vfcw to obtaining such. guarantees. There is reason to. believe Mr. Lloyd George is willing to givejthe guarantee provided Britain v not entangled in the French policy in the Near East, and that Germany is indirectly associated with'the new. pact. France ■jwo'babry will be willing, in order to achieve the military guarantees, even to make concessions regarding submarines and the Eastern policy/ as part of the bargain.^ Mr. Lloyd Georye and M. Briand are conferring privately to-night."
