"DISASTROUS POLICY"
TRAGIC TURN TO REPARATIONS
SIR JOHN BRADBURY EXPLAINS,
(Received 11th January, 9.30 a.m.)
PARIS, 10th January.
The "Journal" states that Sir John Bradbury, speaking at the Reparations Commission yesterday, said that the times were grave, and each one must define his position and take responsibility therefor. "The 'reparations problem had taken a tragic turn," he said, "and threatens to upset the world. France has a right to more than justice. Her sacrifices and losses give her a privileged position. She must be paid, but she will not be by increasing the number of Germany's defaults. I strongly believe that the enforcement of sanctions and penalties will lead to economic disorder, from which the whole world will suffer. That is why I persist in opposing the declaration of default, not with the object of deciding in favour of Germany, but of dissociating Britain from a policy she believes disastrous."
