ANGLO-FRENCH PACT
LORD HALDANE DISCUSSES
PROSPECT.
(ItEUTER'S TELIGBAM.)
(Received 11th December, 1.30 p.m.) PARIS, 10th December. Interviewed by the "Journal's" London correspondent, Viscount Haldane declared that France will be mistaken in supposing that the accession of the Liberals or Labour to power would mean a rupture with France. The Liberals, like the rest of the country, keenly and sincerely desired an understanding with France, and aimed at taking in concert with France, measures calculated to set Germany on her feet. The keynote of their policy to France would be to avoid anything that mighit lead to war in which Britain was bound to be ' involved. There must be an upnderstandmg in regard to the Ruhr, and a pro-, gramme embodying guarantees for France and ensuring the establishment of peace was vital. He expressed the opinion that Britain would be prepared to conclude a pact with France, which would give Britain means to intervene in the event of a repetition of the 1914 situation.
