R. HALDANE'S IDEAS,
The following excerpts from Mr. ffaldana's long speech in Parliament, although incoher ent, convey some idea of the method in his
madness,
The democracies of the world are making manifest their desire that the crushing harden of armament strunid be lightened. We in this great, rich, powerful country have a por tunity of taking our share in that movement. We mean to give the lead, not merely from the point of of ectomy, but from the point of view of organisation and efficiency.

What are the infantry raductions we propose to mako! Our proposal is to reduce the ton battalions of the Guards by two. It would not in fair to make all the reductions on the battalions of the line who were liable to forsire Harvice. These two battalions of the Guards are not required for my expeditionary forme. and, therefore, I cannot afford to spone £120,000 a year on theni.
In future there will be two battalions of Guards at Ahlershot for mobilisation purposes in case of the ontbreak of war, and one for training.
We propose to begin with the reduction of the ref Beote, and absorb the men and officers as best we can, Led then to proceed with the redne ion of the 3rd Coldstreams.
There will be az interval of time, and in that interval we propose to ask the Coldstreams to nukelake the important task of relieving the ballions in Egypt. I hope they will discharge that fauction.
