BRITAIN AND FRANCE.
HEALING THE BREACH. LORD DERBY'S APPEAL. Australian and N.Z. Cable Associatioa. (Seed. 11.30 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 29. Lord F -rby, former British Ambassadpr at Paris, speaking at an Anglo-French dinner, said it was heart-breaking to see the trend of affairs in connection with Anglo-French relations, and to read speeches and articles on both sides of the Channel. Foreign Secretaries were groat men, but they were servants of the public, and it was the view of the man in the street which would prevail. Therefore, by propaganda attacks on tho Entente Cord'ale must be met. Points of difference in regard to French policy in the Middle East should be set down in black and white in order that the people of England could know whether France was right or wrong. M. Briand was a great joker, but his joke about British capital ships fishing for sardines was singularly infelicitous. On tho other hand, he (Lord Derby) was on the side of France in regard to the diminution of her army. Nevertheless, if France reduced her army and Britain her navy, the United States ought to agree to come to the help of either Power if attacked. The Entente should be consolidated into an alliance.
