MILD WARNINGS
BRITISH MINISTERS AND FRANCE.
LONDON, 23rd November.
Lord Derby, speaking at Fleetwoodj said the Germans now recognised they were beaten, and had got to pay the bill. He would therefore aay to our French friends: "Having ensured the will to pay, be careful you do not prevent the capability of paying." He asked the French not to obstruct an inquiry into the German economic conditions, which would be as beneficial to them as to others.
The Duke of Devonshire, in a speech at Nottingham, said the Government hoped it would be' able to arrive at an understanding with all the Allies, but failing that, it would have with great regret to take steps to arrive at a solution without them. ' It had been able, however, during the last- few weeks, in conjunction ".with Italy, the United States, and Belgium, to produce other means by which it was hoped some arrangement would be reached.
