COLONIAL ADMINISTRATION,"
London, August 2 Lord Milner, speaking at Oxford, referring to the British Commonwealth, said he did not share the fear that the in- dependent positions of the Dominions, India and the mother country in the League of Nations would tend to disruption. If the Commonwealth went to pieces the strongest pillar of the League would be shattered. We must always settle out domestic differences among ourselves. The Commonwealth had more to lose than any other State by another Armaged don, and nothing to gain. To have the fall support of the Empire our foreign policy must be broad, simple and straight- forward.. Speaking on the colour question and the develop. ment of our possessions Lord Milner said it was absurd to denounce this policy as exploitation. He did not say the colonies and protectorates were not often grossly exploited by the Powers that possessed them, or that they had not them- selves in some cases exploited their dependencies in the past, but he did say most emphatically that their present policy was vigorously directed to the prevention of such abuses. It was their duty to the inhabitants of these countries to make better use of the natural resources, often immense and almost completely neglected. In the process they had in- evitably enriched themselves, but if the material advantage derived from their trusteeship was unquestionable, was there not also the moral side! He was proud to think that as a general rule men of their race who had been entrusted with power over dependent races had used it well and had striven to raise the people entrusted to their charge. "The nation as a whole had gained much from their experience sad, their example.
THE SUPREME COUNCIL'S LABOURS.
Paris, August 1.
The Supreme Council discussed the request of the Jugo Elav Government for the occupation of the Prekomurak wheat region between Hungary and Jugo Slavia, on racial grounds. It is expected the question of Thrace will be speedily settled.
Paris; August
The Supreme Connéil has decided that the French com- mander be Commander in-Chief of all the Allied troops on the Rhine.
The question of the distribution of captured war material among the Allies has been referred to military experts. It has been finally decided that no Government be allowed to sell such material
To-day's meeting of the Council considered the difficult question of repatriation of 200,000 Russian war prisoners still ia Germany, It is not desired to retain mea in captivity longer than necessary, but the Allies are unwilling to sur render them as recruits for the Bolshevist army.

THE POLICE STRIKE.
London, August 2. The Police satuation is stationary. There is no further spread in the provinces. Some halfhearted demonstrations outside London Police Stations were easily scattered. Picketing is practically non-existent, ae the picketers were warned that "they were liable to immediate arrest.
It is officially stated that altogether 994 Police have strück, out of 22,000, in London, 700 out of 2.200 in Liverpool. sixty out of a hundred in Bootle and sixty-eight out of 1.450 in Birmingham. The strikers' places are being filled by new recraits.
MORE HOME STRIKES.
Archangel, July 30. Yesterday's trouble with two Russian regiments empha sises the almost insuperable difficulty of effectively combai- ting the propaganda of the Bolshevists, whose agents are everywhere, working on the illiterate Russians, although completely unsuccessful in districta which have experienced the terrors of Balsherist rule. Thousands in the Russian Northern Army are inexperienced and therefore believe the wonderful cries of the agitators who dribble across our lines in the guise of deserters desirous of fighting the Bel- shevista. It is quite impossible to distinguish the genuina from the false. The Russo-British authorities are' straining every nerve to counter-attack the propaganda, dropping anti- Bolshevist leaflets and desp bing agents by aeroplane de- hind the Bolshevist lines.
General Ironside's headquarters have been moved to, Archangel from Beresnik.
INDIAN TROOPS THANKED:
London, August 2
Mach interest centered in today's march-past by Indian troops who were unable to participate in the recent Victory- pageant They arrived by special trains from Hampton Court, and, headed by the combined bands of the Guards Brigadas, presented a striking and picturesque appearance as they marched from Waterloo to Buckingham Palace grounds, where they were received by the King. There were also pre- sent the Queen, the Prince of Wales, Duke of Connaught, Sir Douglas Haig and other notables. The King addressed the troops, thanking them for their devotion to the Throne and Empire, for their war services and cheerful bearing of the suferings and sacriâces.
NEW HUNGARIAN_GOVERNMENT.
Copenhager, August 1.
It is reported Irvin Budapest that a Socialist Govern- ment has been formed under Beidel, who declares that his chief task will be to preserve internal order and enter into negotiations with the Entente.
Budapest, August 2.

council have resigned.
ESTHONIA AND THE BOLSHEVISTS.
Copenhagen, August £.
The Esthanian Press Bureau states that the Soviet of war against Russia has declared it has resolved to cease Eethonia as it is not out for conquests. The Red Army is ordered to respect the frontier. The Esthonians, however, cognisant of the Soviet's notorious vacillation recognise that peace can be concladed only in accord. with the Allies.
