The Entente
Emile Bure, editor of L'Eelair, Paris journal, in a pro-Entente article suggests the formation of a "sur-Parlement," or over-Parliament, in which French and British members would deal with questions affecting both countries. In default of a Franco-British Parliament, M. Bure suggests frequent meetings between British M. P.'s and French Deputies with the object, not only of strengthening the Entente, but of assimilating the foreign policy of each country toward the other. It is understood that such meeting will be arranged for by the French and British Governments.
Since the Ruhr invasion took place there have been many voices raised against the British and their policy of " good-humored inactivity." In some cases complete separation of the two countries was advocated. There have, however, always been Entente friends to remind the more recalcitrant spirits that the preservation of Franco-British friendship is a stern necessity.
