Some observers regard the fete
us 'another attempt tn regain ihe
solidarity wllch 'existed between
the two countries prior to ihr
ft'ocld v-ar and which was given a
jolt'hy tho recent collapse of the
Anglo-French naval pact In the
face v of adverse world public
opinion.

somewhat strained at the close of

attempts by1 certain Mrltish; and
French statesmen evr since to put
tho relations hack on a pre-war
basis. The guaranteeing of French
security by the treaty of Locarno
gave the movement impetus, hut
the failure of the Anghi-French
naval pact acted us a dpake'.
Students of Anglo-French rela
tions are realizing more and more

was n.i a diplomat, The entente
cording, signed April K. llMbt. with
France, was promoted largely by
King KU ward's influence und his
reception of ('resident Fa I litres in

historic document. Moreover, the
