RELATIONS WITH FRANCE.
ANTI-BRITISH RUMORS
LONDON, February 21. Mr Wickamsteed, foreign editor of the London Times, has returned from a propaganda tour in France. He states that he found the French ill-informed, but eager to learn about the gigantic British effort. Even the statesmen hardly realised .that the Dominions had a right to decide the future of the German colonies. The best way to instruct the public was to compare the giving *up of the colonies with ithe giving up of Morocco to Germany. . M. Leon Daudet, writing in L'Action Francais, states : The offices of the Frankfort Gazette and of the Vienna Neue Freie Presse are the . headquarters cf the German efforts to spread infamous anti-British rumors throughout France. The movement is still being carried on, but the British are now surrounded in Franco with /the universal affection of the French. In the face of th«>Boche scheming the British and French have learnt to appreciate each other.
