THE SAN REMO CONFERENCE.
MARSEILLES, April 16, - Mr. Lloyd George in a speech at the docks said he always approached the question of relationship with France, who was still the champion of the liberty of the world, with a Teeling of the sincerest affection. He still re- garded her from that viewpoint. He paid tribute to her terrible sacrifices, It was in this split he was going to San Remo. The war was won by the close Anglo-French union which alone could secure the fruits of victory and maintain future civilisation. The British and French must march together. The best means of smoothing the difficulties was the greatest frankness. The Premier was loudly cherred by crowds.

“PUBLIC AUCTIONS.
Mr. Lloyd George has arrived at San Remo and conferred with Signor↑ 18K Undersigned havs rostred in Nitil. The newspapers of Paris rejoice at Britain's initiative as regardstructions to call by Punte auction, action against Germany on the subject of the withdrawal of troops from Ruhr and the disarmament of the Reichswehr.
PARIS, April 18.
The Ambassadors of Belgium, and Italy have informed M. Millerand that their Governments associate themselves, with the step taken by Britain with a view to taking a collective. Allled: action against Berlin. in order to enforce the complete execution of the Treaty of Versailles.
SAN REMO, April 18.
An official commu.ique saya Signor Nitti, Signor Scialoja, Mr. Lloyd George, Lord Curzon, M. Millerand and M. Berthelot met at Villa Devachau this morning and decided that the Turkish Treaty be the business at the first business meeting of the conference on April 19.
SAN REMO, April 16,
M.. Millerand, Interviewed by Reuter declared that he agreed absolutely with the remarks of Mr. Lloyd George at Marseilles that Anglo-French unity and co-operation were necessary in order to obtain the fruits of victory. He was sure when the different viewpoints of the two allies were duly considered Britain and France would find themselves the same devoted and eternal allies as before their victory.
SAN REMO, April 17,
French opinion is that the most important matters before that Cor ference are the position of Germany and the Turkish Treaty. With regard to the latter the drafts prepared in London must now be approved by the heads of the Governments. It is hoped this would be finished in two aittings, after which the Turkish delegation will be invited to Paris where the Treaty will finally be signed.
WASHINGTON, April 18.
Italy has invited the United States to send a representative to the San Remo Conference.
FARIS, April 19.
A Havas, message states:-The French press gives wide prominence; to the new British attitude of firmness, which is hailed as a welcome return to the way in which Great Britain made war. The peril of a fresh militarist outbreak in Germany, coupled with that country's studied omission to fulfil the disarmament clause of the Peace Treaty, is recognised as being a salient point of the discussion at the San Remo Conference, which, it is felt, could not have come at a more opportune moment.
Interviewed at Marseilles. Mr. Lloyd George said: 1 have always been inspired by the greatest sincerity and complete affection for France in ques- tions we have had to deal with. I look upon France as the champion of the liberties of the world and I view all questions from this standpoint. We won the war by complete unity and co-operation and if we wish to reap the fruits of victory we must go on using the same means. No one knows better than I do the terrible sacrifices France has made. We are not yet at the end of our troubles and I consider, frankness will be the best means of overcoming our difficulties. The future of civilisation depends upon the union of France and England at the conference.
M. Millerand left Paris for San Remo at 8 o'clock last night. In addi- tion to a large French delegation the special train carried Lord Curzon and M. Venizelos.
.RUBBER GRŪWERS' REPORT.
MISLEADING STATISTICS.
LONDON, April 16.
The report of the Rubber Growers' Association, while emphasising the peed of an accurate census of the rubber acreage in the East, remarks that i the Governments of Ceylon and Malaya apparently are not yet able to undertake the work. It hopes information will soon be forthcoming. It is pointed out that the rubber export figures from Malaya overlap, while the Malay States' statistics include exports from the Straits and the Strafts' statistics include rubber trans-shipped from the Malay States.
SILVER REPORT.
་
Montagu's report of April 15 notes a tendency downward. The cash price kept up fairly well, owing to a demand for prompt delivery on account of Indian bazaars and elsewhere, but the news from China is not. promising. and" considerable silver representing contracts shortly falling due was placed on the market and owing to the dull outlook has not been replaced by fresh forward contracta. The continent continues to sell somewhat freely. Unless China is prepared to sell for forward delivery the present difference between cash forward quotations seems unduly large.

VERDICT OF MURDER AGAINST PREMIRE.
--LONDON, April 16.
The jury at the Inquest on the Lord Mayor of Cork found the H.LC. planned the murder with the connivance of the British Government; and returned a verdict of wilful murder against Mr. Lloyd George, Lord-French Mr. Macpherson and others.
The Sunday Times, despite the recent denial from Rome, insists that the fate of Home Rule depends on the conference at the Vatican 'to which the Irish Bishops have gone. It adds the Bishops almost without exception are greatly perturbed by the terribly series of murders which are regarded.
