LABOUR AND THE RUHR.
FRENCH POLICY CONSIDERED DANGEROUS NO HOSTILITY TO FRANCE FROM LABOUR GOVERNMENT. By Telegraph.—Press As3n.—Copyright.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn. (Received December 11, 9 a.m.) PARIS, December 19. Mr Ramsay Macdonald, interviewed by a representative of the “Matin,” said: “Naturally, my party does not agree with France regarding the Ruhr. We have to think of our own wellbeing. We consider your policy to be dangerous to the interests of our working class.” A Labour Government, he said, would ask France to recognise that Labour had always worked for an Anglo-French Entente, but he did not think that France was lending a helping hand. If a Labour Government came into power in Britain, France would not find greater hostility from it than from previous Governments. There was no question of hostility, or even enmity, to France. It. was only a question of divergence of views and interests. If France wanted to maintain the Entente, she would have to take a step towards England.
