DEBTS AND REPARATIONS. VISCOUNT GREY'S VIEWS.
AMERICA AND THE PACT.
An important contribution to the discussion of the questions of reparations, inter allied indebtedness, and sanctions was made by Viscount Grey in the House or Lords on December 13th: In his view the whole of the trouble has been caused by the refusal of Washington to mntify the tranty pledging France support în the event of a further unprovoked attack" by Germany. We carried out our part of the bargain by ratifying the Treaty, but without similar action by the United States this is of no avail, France, said Lord Grey, regarded those treaties as an integral part of the Poace Treaty, and he attributed a great deal of her aggressive spirit to her failure to get the security which they would have provided. It France now was disposed to take strong measures and" to occupy more Cera territory, he believed the real reason was pot anxiety, to get cash from Germany, but to get the security which the treaties with Great Britain and America would have supplied. He added, however, that in the long run security would not be got by an occupation of foreign territory.
What Lord Grey is noxious about is that Cermiany should be admitted to the League of Nations, and he suggested that the Pact which Mr. Lloyd George offered to France should be a Pact inside the League. By this means all members of (the Langue would be parties to it, and Franer would have the security which she desires. This strengthening of the League would also help to restore the economic He of Europe and prevent Europe drift- ing into two armed campa
With regard to Inter-Allied indebted. Besa, Lord Grey declared that the policy. of making remission of debts d:peudent on the United States doing the same thing did not bring us any nearer a solution. Our interest lay in seeing political security and the woonomic recovery of Europe, and if by remitting- not a cash payment-the prospect of some day getting some cash we would do any thing to promote those objects it would be in our interest to jlo so. Reparatious | and Allied "debts he regarded as closely .coomooted, and if there was to be bargaining all should be included.
On
one point he spoke with great gravity: France has not yet ratified the Washington Treaty limiting nával armaments, the unly thing," he said, which stood between the world "and renewed competition in adval armaments. It was impossible to say to France that we would not consider the question of Allied debts until she had ratified that Treaty, but Lord Grey admitted that there would be strong foeling in Great Britain if nation to which we had remitted debt proceeded to expand ber naval strength.
THE HONOURS" SCANDAL.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSION.

The Commission recoëtmends no change in the existing practice in regard to Cole nial Office honours and is of the opinion that it would not be expedient to interfere with, the power of conferring honours in respect of Imperial services by the British Premier without the initiative of the over- Hen Governments. But obviously in such so the Committee. they recommend would be phwurless to act and the Com mission is of opinion that it would be eminently advisable that oversen opinion

Mr. Arthur Henderson, regretting bis inability to sign the report, expresses the opinion that the Commission might advantageously have made a much more searching enquiry. He declares that though the Commission is in possession at the names of persons "conveniently and appropriately described as touts," none of them were invited to give evidence, nor were any persons approached by toute called upon, though the Commission was aware of their names.
