Tine major subjects wiib bo finance, economic relations, debts, disarmament and the general situation of Europe, regarding which the ami of the British Government will be to prevent any alignment of nations into two camps. The correspondent says he has learned the invitation to Mr MacDonald /dosed with the words “Do come! Spend the week-end with me. I am sure that in the week-end we can do more for the good than lias been done for .a long time.” There will be no attempt to make agreements, but Mr MacDonald hopes to reach understandings with a view to closer co-operation between the two countries.

The British United Press Paris correspondent states: In the hopo of turning public opinion in the United States more favourably towards France the French Government has decided to embark on an elaborate campaign of propaganda, which will, be facilitated by an. agreement between the French official news agency and an American news organisation. It will consist of articles under famous French names, French Alms, ocean broadcasts by those who know the American mentality, and the: American women’s viewpoint, thereby removing causes 'why France had “so often been taken for a tired, worn-out country.”
