ITALY GETS SCAPA FLOW SHIPS,
LONDON, May 3,
In the House of Commons replying to Viscount Curzon, Sir James Craig stated that the allocation of the ex-German warships hitherto decided was, Britain. five and 124 submarines, France two and 38 submarines, Japan and the United-states two each, and Italy seven submari will also have the ships sunk at Scapa Flow. (Laughter). Mr. Lambert Will these ships be broken up?.

answer.
In the allocation of ex-German warships the correct figures are: Britain's share should read six warships and 124 submarines. France gets two and 38, Japab three, the United States two warships, and Italy seven submarines, Britain (not Italy) will furthermore take the ships sunk at Scapa Flow as part of her share, namely, ten battleships, five battle! cruisers, five light cruisers, and 33 destroyers. The allocation of the remaining twelve light cruisers, 59 destroyers, and 50 torpedo boats will depend on France's and Italy's selections from the surrenderable Austrian abia.
HOUSING AT HOME.
11
PROPOSED GOVERNMENT BONDS.
LONDON, May 3.
Mr. Boner Law, addressing a meeting at the Guildhall for the purpose of introducing to the public a scheme of local bonds for housing, emphasised that the same strenuous effort and sacrifice was necessary after as during the war. If the nation did not make every effort to improve conditions it would be faced with a spirit of sullenness and even anger, which would be fatal to trade, industry and credit. He mentioned that 180,000 housing proposals had been finally approved and more than 200,000 tenders approved. There were 30,000 houses in course of construction, but progress was held up owing to the lack of nancial support. He agreed on the necessity of the State supporting them, as local authorities were unable to hear the whole burden: He announced that the Government would give additional assistance in the poorer localities.
INDEMNITY BILL.
· MRTHER FILCHING OF INDIVIDUAL RIGHT
LONDON, May 3:
2
Affer considerable criticism of domestic points, and promises by the Attorney General of concessions in committee, the Indemnity Bill passed its second reading by 310 votes to 28.
When moving the second reading of the bill for indemnification against consequences of acts done bona fide but ultra vires in connection with war duties, also for the validation of certain laws and military and other sentences, S E. Pollock said inter alia that it was desirable for the purpose of providing against possible acts in such places as German south west Africa, New Guinea, Samoa, German East Africa, and Togoland, especially between the time of the actual surrender and the formal handing over of those territories to the mandatories. He pointed out that where new territory is either taken over or mandated by one of the dominions it is possible for such dominion itself to validate acts by persons subject to its jurisdiction. There might, however, be an indefinite period wherefor it was necessary, to have the imperial parliament's sanction.
