FRENCH CONSTERNATION.

MR 'LLOYD GEORGE DE-

NOUNCED

PARIS, April 10. Britain's opposition to the French ■occupation of thu right bank has .'caused consternation. The newspapers compare the British attitude •v-ith that of faithful Belgium.

The Matin suggests that Britain ■-conferred with Italy and America, •vhich is reurettfible. The paper ,\ seeks to modify the tension by the suggestion that Britain does not seek to represent Germany as innocent, but merely differs over the methods adopted. M. Pertinaux, in the Echo de Paris, denounces Mr Lloyd George as a politician entirely lacking judg■n.cnt, but the French rely on the jsadd .sense of their friends across the "channel to bring Mr Lloyd George to heel and fore? upon him the in-

terpretation of the Anglo-French Alliance from which he should never have departed.
