Received 12.53 a.m., July 11. London, July 10. M. Jaures’ intended speech continued: » Unfortunately Frenoh reactionaries were in the ascendant up to 1800,and were subserviently attached to Franco’s policy and Russia’s as a oar to a balloon. They cooperated with Germany - in the Shimonoseki treaty, which prepared Jihe way for Russian scheming and greed.’’ M. Jaures proceeds to eulogise Franoe s policy since 1900. enlarging on the circle of friendships. He recalls his advice in favor of an entente with Germany, and warmly supports the Anglo-French agreement, which ho declares was not aimed at Germany, though if an attempt were made to entangle Frenohmen in an action hostile to Great Britain, Frenoh socialists would resist to the last breath.
