LIVELY FRENCH INTEREST
EMPIRE PREFERENCE AND RUHR GUARANTEED.
(AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZEALAND CABLE AIiOZIATIOK.)
(Received 12th October, 9 a.ni.)
...■-'■ PARIS, 11th October. French opinion is considerably interested in the Imperial Conference. The "Temps," commenting on the preference discussion, says that the proposals will provide a breach for the Conservative Party to steer their economic policy through. Mr. Bruce's proposals may be classed as "the Bruce doctrine," which will be the "Monroe Doctrine" applied to the British Empire. The "Temps" offers no opinion as to the possibility of realising- such a doctrine, but declares that its fulfilment would bring in train serious political effects. It argues that if British markets are.closed to German traders, Germany will be seriously affected, and the pledges which France and Belgium hold in the Ruhr will be rendered more necessary than ever.
