VERSA LLES TREATY DO„MED?
FRANCE'S IMPORTANT AGREEMENT WITH GERMANY.
BRITAIN'S ONLY CONSOLATION,
LONDON, October 10,
The conclusion of the Loucher-Rathensn agreement has evoked singularly little comment in England, though according to well-informed Paris correspondents it practically means that the Versailles Treaty is doomed, for if Germany defaults under the recent Aed London agreement rance will not suffer. She exclusively will obtain payment by accepting German goods. Efforts in Germany to raise the money to pay the Allies in cash have resulted disastrously, lowering the value both of the mark and the rane. Thus payment in kind has been arranged under the new agreement as the only effective way of meeting reparations. The only consolation to Britain is that she now has a chance of recovering her lost foreign markets as with France's sense of wrong appeased there will probably be no more unset:ling reparations crises.

VISCOUT GREY'S RETU N.
FIRST POLITICAL SPEECH SINCE HIS RETIREMENT.
LONDON October 10.
Viscount Grey, former Foreign minister, made at Berwick to-day his fitt political speech since his retirement in 1916. His speech is regarded as forecasting his re-entry into political life with active participation in the counsels of the Independent Liberal Party. He denounced the Coalition as having lost both its raison d'etre and the confidence of he country. He condemned the Government's past Irish policy but approved the conference ani warne | the Irish repens utatives against forcing the negotiations to a part where the Batson people believe their self-preservation is endangered. For instance, the natal defence of the two islands must be under one
