OUR LONDON LETTER.
A CHINESE APPEAL TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. THE RIGHT TO RESIDE AND TRADE CERTAIN PORTS.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
LONDON, December (th. - CHINA AND THE LEAGUE.
It is reported here that the General Conference on Transit and Communics tions of the League of Nations now sit ting at Geneva has received an applica- tion from China to help her to abolish specified commercial treaties which are said to be unfavourable to her, and were imposed previous to the war,
POVERTY IN HIGH PLACES.

Anong many other things the General Election" introduced the Man in the Street to sobte,bosuspected hard easés of payerty in high places. One instance is that of the Earl of Derby who confided to an election meeting that he is unable to live. on his income, and moreover he may be compelled for that reason to leave his ancestral home. I believe everybody ex- cept a Communist will agree that it will Le a great pity if his Lordship was no poverty tricker that he had to give up. Knowsley Hall, the beautiful and stately home of the Stanleys which stands in the midst of an estate that caine into their possession well over five centuries ago.
It is just possible, however, that the Secretary for Way may be able to derive
negative kind of consolation from the knowledge that he is not alone in his! comparative penury. The Duke of Atboll, who went electioneering on behalf of his wife, is reported as telling an audience that although he is the owner of the. largest landed estate in Scotland he finds

The matter is raised on the ground that the treaties in question are in viola tion of the Barcelona Conventions of 1921, which laid down the principle of the freedom of communications-that is to say, the right of certain States to exercise rights over communications and the burden of taxation so crushing that SKAN HAI LUXE -guilingi approximainly every three days between Cation in cases impose transit duties: The Chi he and the Duchess are obliged to live nese contention is that the pro-war in a cottage.

There have been many kindly refer ences in the papers to Queen Alexandria upon entering ber eightieth year, last FIETSIN Saturday (December 1st) And it is truly In motor trade circles much rause said that her popularity which began on

THADE WITH RUSSIA.
In some of the papers Lord Curzon, the Foreign Minister, is taken to task he cause he refuses to accord fall recogni tion to the Soviet Government as an indispensable part of an effective trade agreement As is well known, our manu facturers and merchants can transact commercial undertakings" with Russin. but at their own risk: and in the eir cumstances it is not surprising that com paratively few care to do so..
But despite this fact, I learn on excel lent authority that a spurt may be ex pected in trade with Russia almost in mediately. The first consignment of Rus sian grain since the Armistice is due at Hall this week, and it is stated that other cargoes will follow. This is a note worthy incident. It is even more signi ficant that something like 300 vessels have been chartered to carry grain and produce from Russian Black Sen ports.

Queen Alexandria is now left with only three friends of her early married life, apart from Sir Dighton Probyn and Miss Knollys. They are the Dowager Dacbess of Abercom, Georgina Duchess of Dud- ley, and Mrs. Standish.. The aged Queen- Mother. it is curious to note. has never cared about politics, and with the excep tion of Mr. Gladstone, Lord Spencer, and the Duke of Devonshire she did not number politicians among her intimate friends. The present General Election which has engrossed the attention of the country in its briel but whirlwind course has, therefore, made no appeal to her. I Now, as formerly, she is interested in art and sport, children, animals, and charities
The meaning of this is that a revival of WORLD THEATRE.
trade with Russia is at hand.
THE LATE EARL LOREBURN.
En Lorehura, whose death is no- nounced this week, was better known to old comrades and opponents in Parlia ment as Bob Reid the oncompromis- ing Radient of the eighties and early *Hineties. In the later stages of Mr. Gladstone's career and afterwards Lord "Loreburn was foremost as an advocate of the reform of the House of Lords; and he held very strong views about equalis- ing the appointment of Justices of the Peace throughout the country betweeu political partics Both at the Bar and also in the House of Commons he had a brilliant carcer, and was made Lord Chancellor in 1005 by the late. Sir H Campbell-Bannerman. Unlike some other distinguished occupants of the Woolsnck, when he retired owing to the state of his health at the age of 66, after filling the position for 6 years, he refused to take the full pension of £5,000 a year to which he was entitled.
In the case of Lord Lorebain we have an instance of the mistaken estimate that is tometimes made by schoolmasters and others of a boy's capabilities. As he was Jearing Balliol College he called upon the famous Jowett Jowett to take leave, and mentioned that he intended to become a barrister. "You will be no good at the Bar-good morning was Jowett's reply, a particularly had prediction as it hap pener. The late Peer was responsible for the establishment of the Court of Criminal Appeal, an achievement which will preserve his name when praiably his political activities are forgotten. POLITICAL BOWDLES.
There is a good deal of indignation in Conservative and Läberul eiroles on ac count. of the organised rowdyin which has been rampant in some constituencies during the General Election. Political meetings have been broken up, and in several instances candidates have had to abandon meetings. Attempts have been made to intimidate candidates. The evil has been particularly rife in the East End of London, and also in the Battersea Division... Nobody imagines that the official Labbur party countenances such behaviour, which in fact has done more ham to the Labour, candidates than" to Conservatives or Liberals because it has stirred up the resentment of the public; but it is clear that the disorder at meet ings was carefully organised beforehand, and there is very sound reasons for sap posing that it is the work of Communists who are in close touch with Moscow.
Mr. Winston Churchill was set upon by crowd of roughs on leaving a meeting which he addressed at Walthamstow, and he told a reporter that he had never seen such a crowd in England in 25 years of public life. They were more like Rus sian wolves than British workmen,” he said, and he doubted whether they were British at all.. They were howling, forming and spitting, and generally be having in a way absolutely foreign to the British working classes,"
The suggestion is made that Parliament, should give this matter attention. The Rowdyism in the recent election strikes at the right of free speech. The objast is no doubt to frighten women electora especially" and keep them away from poli- Lima) meetings - This canoot be tolerated.
