ANGLO-FRENCH RELATIONS.

Though Mr Loyd George’s blunderingover the French advance in Germany resulted in strained feelings between Britain and France, we hoped that French commonscnse would prevail, and therefore it is with satisfaction we learn that cordial relations between the two countries have been resumed. France has achieved a diplomatic triumph at the expense of Britain who has been humiliated in the eyes of the world through the lack of statesmanship on the part of Mr Lloyd George and his Cabinet. The British nation owes a debt, of gratitude to France for her vindication of the Allied peace rights. Even French politicians, digniled and patient, have at last been compelled to publicly protest against the concessions granted by Mr Lloyd George to the Germans. Mr Lloyd George’s muddling has, qf course, been expected by those who are capable of following inteligeutlv the carrying out of .the Peace Treaty. The temporary Strain relations that arose between./France and Britain should Teach .Mr Lloyd George and his Cabinet a lesson, and we trust that no more concessions will be granted to the Huns. Anyway, France has intimated that she does not intend that the Huns shall be allowed to flout the peace conditions any longer. Well might, the British Empire cry, “Vive la France!”
