SEES BREAK IF LABOR FACTION IS VICTORIOUS French Diplomats Worried Over Result of Elections in England BY BASIL D. WOON Universal Service Correspondent Paris, Nov. 26.—A comlete break in the entente, an economic union be tween Great Brltlan, Germany and Russia, the Isolation of France, the return of the kaiser and revolutions in Greece and Austria, are seen here as the inevitable consequences of the return, at the coming British elec , tions, of a labor government. If the liberals win, diplomats here see the following developments scarcely favorable to France. l--Lloyd George will return to power, either as permler or foreign mlniste. - 2--England will declare against the legality of the occupation of the Ruhr and sever diplomatic negota tions (not relations) with France un less tihe latter changes her policy with regard to Germany. May Support Germany 3- -England will openly support Germany in the fight to have the crushing total of her debt reduced. 4- -England will use the economic weapon against France until the latter yields. If the conservatives are returned to power, it is believed here that: 1--Premier Baldwin will call a rep- , aratlons conference of allied and neu tral nations to reduce Germany’s debt with or without the consent of France. Economic restraint will be used against France if the latter proceeds in defiance of world opinion France 8ure to Lose It is pointed out here that no British party favors in any way France’s methods against Germany, and that no matter woh wins at the polls, the result will be to the detri ment of France. Diplomats are inclined to think that the conservatives, with Premier Baldwin at their head, will be elect ed, but with so slight a majority tlhat such a government will be over thrown by a pooling of labor and liberal interests on the first occasion that Premier Baldwin attempts to run counter to opposition opinion. The retfffn of Lie yd George at the head of a liberal-labor coalition is looked upon in some quarters here as a likelihood within 12 months. Given the hostility of all British parties to his policy only two avenues are open to Premier Poincare. They , are redoubled activity toward Ger many, including a multiplication of French measures to dieal with the rich alone, and resignation of Poin care to allow another government to change French policy and permit allied unity. There is not the slight est hint tlhat the latter road will ba chosen. On the contrary, there is every in dication that France is prepared to be Isolated and has taken measures to cope with the problems which isola tion present. Chief of these measures will be “consolidation,” of the French posi tion in tihe Ruhr. This means the occupation of the further strategic points and railroads to render the valley of the Ruhr less vulnerable to attack . At present strategists point out that the Ruhr cannot be fortified, and, in case of war between France and Germany, would have to be re linquished by the French. A secondary measure will be to use every weapon, economic and other wise, to oblige Heer Stinnes to knuckle down to France at the latter’s terms. Confiscation of the Stinnes mines and smelters is mentioned iher* as an extreme measure.

RUM TREATY IN OPERATION Seizure of British Vessel Made Under Provisions of Pact BY WILLIAM P. FLYTHE Universal Service Correspondent Washington, Nov. 26.—The so called 12-mile treaty with the Brit ish government, permitting search and seizure of rum Bhips outside the three-mile zone, went into effect Monday, it was stated at the treas ury department. , It was in view of this agreement, treasury officials explained, that coast guard cutters ventured out side the three-mile limit Sunday and seized the British rum runner Tomako when those on board the vessel be lieved it to be safe from the arm of United States laws.
