Poincare is credited with desiring to make Great Britain in some way or other responsible together with France for main- taining Poland. We are sorry to have to say that these propo- sals, if they are really being made, indicate a wide gulf indeed between French policy and our own. We could not possibly assent to the idea of regarding Germany as guilty of unprovoked aggression against France if she had to employ troops temporarily in the Rhine zone for keeping domestic order. That would be to deprive Germany of the right to rule in her own family. We have written fully on this subject elsewhere and shall say no more here.
