BRITAIN AND THE REPARATIONS.
“ Prance gets far more than her due share of reparations. In spite of.her devastated areas she has suffered far less material damage from the Avar than Ave have. She is how one of the richest nations in the world—her Budget is not much more than half our own, she has no unemployment, and she has acquired the great and territories of Alsace-Lorraine with thgir prosperous industries, as well as the exploitation of the Saar coal mines. Under the Spa Agreement, she gets 52 per cent of reparations, Avhile Ave get only 22 per cent. If there is to be a change iii these percentages it should be at the expense of all, and not of Great Britain alone. Mr Churchill spoke with the voice of the entire nation when he said in the House of Commons that the kind of proposals foreshadowed would in no sense be acceptable.”—“Manchester Guardian;”
