There is lively anxiety in London lest tho french policy of insisting on u strong Poland wilt hill the Entente. British leaders understand that with a hip; forceful Poland, will take Russia’s place in an Alliance enclosing Germany, hut. insist that the signatories to die Versailles Treaty must uphold the treaty.

Phillip Aleleil, a leading interpreter ol French opinion, writing in the British Press, warns England that a genuinely profound ware of indignation against England is sweeping orer France. He declares that the crisis is grave and tense. Mr J. L. Garvin, writing in the " Observer,” assures Air Lloyd George of the solid support of public opinion. Ho points out that Silesia, integrally, belongs to the German historical, geographical and economic systems.
