COMMODORE'S SPEECH Mr. H S. Rouse, Commodore of the Yacht Club, sald:-
As the Foreign Secretary has repeatedly affirmed in recent speeches. It is the earnest desire of His Majesty's Government to see a new agreement on the lines of the Locarno Treaty negotiated and signed as part of the work of consolidating peace which lies be- fore the European Powers. As the result of an interview between Mr. Anthony Eden and the Belgian Ambassador on Thursday it is now appreciated in official circles in London that the King of the Bel- glans" speech is to be regarded as an indication of the poley Belg um is likely to follow in the five-Power d'scussions, and that the inter-
"I must first record the Club's appreciation of Mrs. Sedgwick's graciousness in coming here, from the Volunteer Gymkhana to pre- sent the prizes this afternoon.
"Our visitors' and Ladies' day has been brought forward by about one month to enable us to carry through an ever increasing pro- gramme of events. Our fleet of racing craft and cruisers NOW' EX- ceed 60 and these provide a con-pretations current in some quar- siderable field for employment of

It is a source of gratification to the older members of the Club thated on a misapprehension. many of our active rowing and saling members and the boys car- ried in our yachts are enrolled in the Naval Volunteer Force thus providing one more bond between this' Club and its many naval sub- scribers.

"The amenities of the Club are not what they were, but I ask you to be patient for a lttle longer at the same time assuring you that the sub-committee, appointed at the Annual General meeting, work ing under that able Chairman, my friend the Vice-Commodore Mr. Cock, are examining all channels to plot us to better moorings.
HOPES OF INTERPORT
"To-day's rowing has been con- aned to, our own members but it is hoped to arrange an Interport Regatta for December when we look forward to entertaining our neigh- bours from Canton and the Victoria Recreation Club.
"The return of several units of his Majesty's Fleet enabled us to provide a race for whalers with the prospect of a good entry, and on behalf of the Club I bid them wel-
come.
"I am glad to be able to report favourably on that friend of all sailors of the Club, Mr. G. G. Wood,
Nevertheless there is still some surprise at the public statement, as the prepartation of the five- Powar meeting" were to be kept strictly to diplomatic channels The importance of the declaration is fully understood, and the British Government has asked for an elucidation of some aspects.
The rep'les of the German and French Governments to the por- posal sent by the British Govern- meat op September 18 regarding the proposed five-Power meeting have been received in the Foreign Office in the last few days.. Any reports as to the contents of the German Note must be regarded as pure speculation.-
