THE COLONIES CLAUSE. The following is the text of the Colonies clause in the Mamorandum:-

capitalist Governments and without celaing to condemn it the Inter-Allied Conference nevertheless recogniacs the existence of a stape of things which it is obliged to take into account. The Conference considers that the treaty of peace ought to secure to the natives of all colonies and
dependencies effective protection against the excesses of capitalist colonialism. The Conference demanda the concession of administrative autonomy for all groups of people that attain to a certain degree of civilisation and for all others pro gressive participation in local govern ment. The Conference is of the opinion that the return of the colonies to pre-war possessors or exchanges and compensations which might be affected should not impede peace making.
Those colonies that have been taken by conquest from any belligerent must be made the subject of special con- sideration at the Peace Conference as to which of the communities in their

LONDON, Feb. 34. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reports:-
upon an audience of several hun- dreds, recalling words he had spoken many years before: "If it were not too much to hope for, "I would wish that a hundred years hence there might be one thousand Christians in China."*
When the hundred years had pass- ed the Christians in China numbered nearly two hundred thousand.
