BRITAIN’S ATTITUDE.
HINT AS TO BATTLESHIP.
RUGBY, July 14. The * ‘ Manchester GhiaTdiaii” demes the report said to be current in Germany that the British Government has joined with the French in an attempt to impose political conditions upon Germany. It adds: “The Government ac cepted the Hoover Plan immediately and without alterations, and at the present moment is the only one of the creditor Powers that has taken the necessary steps to declare that it wishes the moratorium to come into operation at once—namely, by informing the Bank of International Settlements that it does not expect to be paid this week’s instalment of reparations. It is, however, true that the British Government is of opinion that it would be a gesture on the part of Germany if she were to give up the battleship as an earnest both, of her desire for the utmost national economy and of her sincerity in disarmament, and of conciliation toward France. Mr. Henderson will have the opportunity of making the British Government’s attitude clearer when he reaches Berlin on Friday.”—(British Official Wireless.)
