M.HenriDumay,theinterviewer, askedthePremierwhytherewasgeneralirritationinEnglandagainst France,andwhythemajorityofthe EnglishPresshadbeenforalongtime conductingacampaignagainsther. "Withwhatdoyoureproachourcountry?"heasked.
"Firstandaboveall,"repliedMr. Macdonald,"youarereproachedfor theoccupationoftheRuhr,whichis, inouropinion.theprincipalcauseof theeconomicdistressfromwhichEnglandsuffersto-day.''
"Youarealsoreproachedfornot havingsufficientconsiderationforthe greaterinterestsofEurope,andfor havingnoneatallfortheprincipal interestsofEngland.Further,the moralandfinancialencouragement whichyouaregivingtocertainsmall sountriesconnectionwitharmaments tends.inouropinion,tomakeanother warinevitable.
"Frankly,Franceworriesourpeople, whoareaskingthemselvesinallsincerityiftheyinturnwillnotfindit necessarytomakesomemilitarypreparationsandseeknewalliances."

"Britishupinionis,infact,inastate ofalarmandexasperationthatought nottobeignored.Thebestminds arerestlessandmistrustful."
AskediftheLabourPartyaudits leaderssharedthisanxietyandmistrust,Mr.Macdonaldsaidtheywere forcedincertainoccasionstorecognise theevidenceofit.Hispersonalconviction,however,wasthatthetwo peopleshadfriendshipandprofound esteemforeachother,andthepresent dangerouscloudsarosefromamutual misunderstandingoftheirrealneeds anddesires."Theymustnotcease toexplain,explain,andagainexplain.

AppealtoFrance.
Inguardedrepliestothequestionof France'ssecurity,thePremiersaidhe wasprofoundlyconvincedthatthe mostredoubtablearmamentswould neverbesufficienttoguaranteethe securityofFrenchterritory.Hewish. edthatFrancewouldceasetoputits confidenceinmilitarypoweralone,and wouldrealisethemuchgreaterprotectionitcouldfindintheLeagueofNations.
Itwasevidenttosincerepeoplethat theentryofGermanyintotheLeague wasthebestguaranteeofsecurityfor hereasternfrontierthatFrancecould obtain.
"FrenchoccupationoftheRuhr," continuedMr.Macdonald,"benefits neitherFrancenoranyoneelse,while itcontainsthegermsofallcalamities. Onespeaksofsecurity,butifthe presentstateofthingweretocontinueonewouldseeinlessthan20 yearswhatkindofsecuritytheoccupationoftheRuhrhadgivenFrance."
Askedwhetherintheeventof France'sreducingtheGermandebtto FranceGrqeBritainwouldthaintain orannulFrance'sdebttoher,Mr.Macdonaldreplied,Reuterstates,thathe couldnotgiveanyundertakingon thispoint,asGreatBritain.nusthave herhandsfreeinviewoftheforth. comingdiscussionswithFrance.With referencetothequestionofaguaranteepactbetweenFranceandGreat Britain,theSocialistsdidnotbelieve thatthesafetyofanationshoulddependuponarmamentsoralliancesAn entirelynewinternationalpolicyought toheinaugurated,andtheprejudices

"WilltheLabourPartyworkforthe admissionofGermanytotheLeague ofNations?"
"Decidedly,"wasthepromptreply, "andatonce.Theywillaskthat Russia,aswellasGermany,beadmittedatonceintotheLeague."
Theconclusionoftheinterviewwas devotedtoquestionsconcerningthe concentrationofnewspapersinthe handsoflargebusinessmenorfinanciers,andthePremiersaiditwasa questionwhichconcernedtheLabour Partyverymuch.
