Possible Ituf Not Probable 1* is Just conceivable that devel-' on;:ients in the next fortnight mlaht have a character that the Liberals would agree to stand bv th* Labor group not only |fassive-! l.v but even actively, on the under-, standing that a I,abor Prime Minis ter would undertake a vigorous pol icy with respect of France. The reason this will hardly happen Is that for the moment, secure in his portion. Poincare is likely to avud giving any occasion for such a com bination. And the agreement of the fool Id ge administration to un official American participation In the new Investigation of German financial questions offers an admir able opportunity to postpone direct controversies. Of course when the commission jrt i" ready to report, nothing is more likely than that Its report will either conform to French views and there for- provoke no open break or that a disagreement in the commission win be made public at the moment w ,*n domestic politics have brought down the transient -ministry in Great Hritain. and there will he lacking a ?tiong government lo deal with ?Ae matter vigorously. / . It must then be perceived in this1 country that the recent llritlrh tion constitutes a very real men a>*. to world prace. because the pol-i icy openly proclaimed by the l^jhor Party and supported by the Liberal press and many prominent Liberals' directly to a dash with Frince.' Labor and the majority of Liberals sttbscrl'ie to the belief that the proper course to take to curb France ??? ?" **ree France must be cm heft? is to hack Germany openlv an,, oppose France with equal defl nitenesR. All of tills rests upon the double a:-umption that oppoaition to France can accomplish anything! without actunl resort to force nndj that France will consent to any re lief of Germany. which tends, ev. n tends, to let Germany escape. from the ncessity of meeting French clalM,*. it,,, j, ||ol w.f|t||rf. any extended investigation of the ri?nch situation to see that this is no! the case. |f the Frepch are rejdy to make minor concessions to a lory Prime Minister, as Poinc-ire did to Baldwin the other day. tuv ar? not in the least minded to gh<> way before parties and leaders who are openly hostile.

Given this state of mind In th?- two coan tries, it is not hard to see that *he possibilities of a dash art- very sroat and the chanccs of co-operution ire almost insignificant. As lone as there was a Tory gov ernment in (lien Britain, some seni hlanee of association could ?h? pre m rved between France and llrlta:n. because a majority of the Tories were frankly friendly to France and tot tllv unwilling to allow* any step to he taken which would break off relations with France. J If the Tor- , ies did not feel strong <nough to march with France into the Kuhr they were ab1*? to prevent Honar I. ?w and Baldwin from t .iking any hostile step. In a word, they dictated a pol icy which consisted in making a for mal protest against French action hut then taking no step to prevent the Ruhr occupation.
