MR. B. LAW DEFINES UNIONISM WITA USUAL INDEFINITENESS.
French circles are highly satisfied with the visit of M. Poincare to London, stating that po-sovereign has ever been welcomed with such a degree of enthusiasm and cordiality. The toasts exobanged at the dianer at Buckingham Palace showed clearly the new band laking Fearch with Great Britain after the terrible ordeal of the war, that bond being based on real concordance, deep intimacy and the same political and economic ideala. M. Poincaré alluded to the solemn English promise to assist France in case si a new war with Germany, hoping that no such emergency could ever arise owing to the indissoluble union of both countries to guarantee world peace.
Mr. Boner Law, addressing the women unionists at West- minister,
said he had been asked why he had not defined a policy for unionists but when the unionists joined the coalition they lost the right to have their own policy. Their policy was, firstly, to support the coalition, but that did not mean the abolition of the unionist party, which was never more pecessary and had never greater need to be united than now. He eulogised the record of the government, pointing out as a reply to the charge of extravagance that the present year must be financially treated as a year of war, for most of its expenditure was directly due to war. He said big reductions in expenditure were Forly possible by cutting down the fighting forces. Ee predicted that be The coal shortage has taken a better

In view of the improving American exchange, it has been suggested that the government should allow free gold exports and raise the bank rate, but this is considered unlikely. It is understood that a more effective method of checking speculation will be devised whereby banks will refuse to lend money for speculative purposes, especially regard to the Note from the Conference,
