London,
Aug

British
re-
ply to the last Frencn

notes

been
completed
and
was
handed
to
the
Ambassadors
on
Saturday.
The

Great

in.luding the
famous
draft
of
the
r-ply to Germany,
will
be
made
public
on

The

Britiish
reply
which
is
a
very
im-
portant
document,
is
about
8,000
words
long and
goes fully into the
whole situa-
tion, setting out in
great
detail
and
in
the
plainest
language
Great
Britain’s
position.
For instance,
it is
understood,
i* points out that
Great
Sritain hassuffer-
ed from the Buropean
situation
since
the
war just
as
much
as
France
from
the
war devastation.
Since
the
armisticeit
has
spent
400,000,000
pounds
for the
re-
liet
of
unemployment,
all
of which
is
a
total loss,
while France
has
spent
about
as mueh
in
restoring
the devastated
re-
gions
and
rebuilding
industries
which
are
now
busily emplyed.
France
also
will be informed
by
British
law
officers
of the opinion that
the
Ruhr
occupation
is illegal under
the
Versailles
treaty and
the note
will
mualka
proposals
for ending
the occapation,
or determining
its legali-
ty.
The
question
of
the
inter-Allied
debts
also
is firmly dealt
with.
Great
Britain tells France
explicitly
how far it
is willing to go to forgive these debts
and
it is
