THE FRENCH VIEW
REPLY TO MR LLOYD GEORGE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright PARIS, January 21. (Received Jan. 22, at 5.5 p.m.) M. Saint Brice, the foreign editor of Le Journal, traverses Mr Lloyd George's latest article. He denies that Germany has paid the amount of tho 1870 indemnity threefold, which would total 60,000,000,000 gold marks. Germany has paid less than 11,000,000,000 marks in cash and goods. The German monetary debacle is not connected with reparations. Tho collapse was never more rapid than since Augustf 1922, when Franco decided to suspend practically all the cash payments. M. Saint Brice points out that coal deliveries were short by 21,000,000 ton. 3 in August, 1922, which was the result of deliberate fraud : therefore, it is the right and the duty of France, as a duped creditor, to enter the mining centres and control deliveries. The Ruhr operations have no other aim.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
