He found everywhere a stern determination not to permit the crime of lending money to Russia, which was the most important issue of the election.
LIBERAL STUPIDITY BLAMED.
Lord Curzon, speaking here to-day, said the Russian. Loan had disturbed the commercial.com. munity more than any proposal of the Labour Government, whose assumption of office was a foolish, fatuous experiment due to the stupidity of the Liberal Party.
Lord Curzon ridiculed Mr. MacDonald's asser tion that his Government, during the last eight months, had contributed more to Peace than all the other parties for the last eight years. The speaker (Lord Curzon) himself had received personal and private assurance from each of the Dominion Ministers that they were entirely satisfied with Britain's Foreign Policy in the past and desired its continuance on the same lines and in the same hands.

He pointed out that the Foreign Once White Paper had not mention- ed that he had asked that the position of High Commissioner of Egypt should be analogous to that of other Foreign Ministers,
GAIN. BY LONDON MEETING.
He declared the Egyptians had gained by the London cop- versations, be-· cause they had confronted, the British with their rights, supported by proofs, while the British replied with refusal, but without proof or justification.
Labour had no real conception of the Imperial idea. It paid lip service to the Dominions. Mr. J. H. Thomas (Minister for Colonies) in numerous speeches had bolled over with frothy patriotism; but they pursued a policy apart from and con temptuous of the Dominions. They dropped resolutions at the Imperial Conference of Imperial themselves and redouble their efforts to strengthen The Egyptians had learned they must count on preference and the Singapore scheme, which the their union, adhere firmly to their rights and not Dominions considered vital to their security. Finally they signed the Soviet Treaty, with which lose any opportunity energetically to claim them. not one single Dominion Prime Minister had the the banner of complete independence for Egypt The nation must remain solidly grouped under smallest sympathy, and which, was the most dis- and the Egyptians."

ATTITUDE OF PREMIER.
An appeal for liberal support and vigorous. attack on the Conservatives were made by Mr. Macdonald in a speech at the Hippodrome, Sheffield, where he had an enthusiastic reception from an audience of over 4,000-thousands of others were unable to gain admission, queues having -formed-outside-at-6-o'clock-in-the-morning
WHIFF OF VICTORY.
The Premier declared the campaign was to him. like a whiff of victory, but a grim struggle was ahead next week. Their opponents would not leave any stone unturned to damage Labour, because it had been too successful in caring for the interests of the country at Home and abroad.
If there was any dancer of extremism in Bri. tain, it would come when an iocompetent Tory Government was in office.
The Premier, appealing for Liberal support, -claimed that Labour had the Liberal spirit in a
widened, broadened and beightened state.
