NO TENDERNESS IN BRITISH EM
PIRE FOR GERMANY BUT BE
LIEVES FRANCE TRYING TO GET
STRANGLE-HOLD ON COUNTRY.
LONDON, August 20—A Central
News J^spatch prints what is claimed
to be “an authoritative direct footnote
on the British foreign policy,” stating:
“There is no tenderness in the Brit
ish empire for Germany, but the gov
ernment believes that if France is out
to maintain a strangle-hold on Ger
many, the complete overthrow of the
economic situation ip Europe, if not i
the world, is certain.”
Apart from the immediate aims of
the Governments in Europe, the domi
nating note in their policies is the ul
timate co-operation of Britain and Am
erica for the world settlement of the
chaotic conditions existing there.
No immediate sensational assistance
for America need be expected, but
Premier Baldwin believes that Europe
cannot be saved unless the American
people join the British in saving them.
