The correspondent of the Time, at Paris savs that a fresh Anglo-French disagreement threaten-, for the Rn-tish-French-Belgian agreement ol August 13, distributing Germany * milliard marks due on September 1. gave a share to Britain to meet the expenses of he,- troops on the Rhine, and France got nothing, because she had "already drawn more, than her share from the Saar mines." The French Minister for Finance OL Doumer) signed only under protest. M. Briand (Prime Minister) has: refused to approve of the agreement, and he is strongly supported by public opinion. France is still waiting to see the colour of Germany's money, and fails to see any difference in the Saar mines and Germany's colonies, 'lb'' man in the street gets angry when he learns that by such accountancy, instead of France getting an indemnity. ' France is now Germany's debtor. ' The subject will soon become acute. A blunt speech now may prevent loss of temper later.
