[To the Editor of the SencreTon.] Sta,—You say that France
stands alone in her reparations policy. The contrary is the case. England stands alone. Italy and Belgium support France. Germany does not mean to pay, unless she is made to by force : and all the difficulties you point out as existing now with regard to this will be intensified a hundredfold in four years' time. It ought to have been done at the end of the War. France should take what she can get now. She will never get more in the future. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Your anti- French pro-German policy is a Liberal one—namely, to desire your friends to curry favour with your enemies. I am convinced that the bulk of the Conservative Party are as opposed to the reparations policy of Mr. Bonar Law as they were to the surrender to the Irish murderers' policy of Ms Austen Chamberlain.—I am, Sir, &e.,
The Grange, near Rotherham. GILBERT E. Mourn.
