BRITAIN FULLY INFORMED

A WELCOME SIGN

LONDON, April 11

Tho Daily Express understands that Britain's Note to France contains a very firm protest.

The Paris newspaper Le Temps, dispassionately reviewing the situation, points out that Britain was kept fully informed of France's determinftion to protect herself frorr- the German menace.

A prominent French writer'declares that Mr Lloyd George has struck the Entente a blow from which it will have difficulty iri recovering. The writer hopas that British public opinion will rectify the British Government's mistake.

Le Journal les Debats states: "Does Mr Lloyd George realise that he is losing the prestige and authority that he won by his energy during the war? Mr Lloyd George has now repudiated his title to potesrity's gratitude."

Mr Lloyd George leaves London on Saturday for San Remo.

The Echo de Paris calls attention to the fact that Mr Lloyd George is going by sea rather than pass through France.

The Daily Chronicle's diplomatic correspondent says: "The fact that Mr- Lloyd George is taking the *c.a trip is a welcome sign that a full understanding is now assured, if not already established in every detail." The correspondent adds that °very responsible British statesman hopes that a nassing difference between two proud democracies will not be allowed to obscure their fundamental cordial unity. -
