Lord Milner, who was received with cheers, said he had been asked by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was drable to be present-owing - to pressure of Government business, to come that day. It was unnecessary för him, in addressing an audience of business man, to dwell on the terms of the Loan or to extol ita attractions se ar investment The reasonable and ingenions terms of the Loan, in both its forms, showed that it was A throughly sound business pro position.

The Treaty, concluded last Saturday at Versailles, was great step forward on the long, hard, uphill road which the world must travel to recover from the destructive effects of the greatest struggle in history. A great deal had to be done, at home and abroad, to make that recovery anything like complete. Indeed, so much had to be done that were it not for the recollections of the dangers escaped from and difficulties surmounted in the past four years, we might well be ap palled at the work which faced us. (Hear, bear.)
A SHATTERED WORLD. Abroad, parts of Europe and Asia were in a state of commo- tion. The Great War was over, but there were many lesser wars going on in various quarters. Those wars might not be very formidable, but as long as they continued, and as long as civil disorder short of war continued, there would be inevitable delay in the revival of industry and resumption of normal intercourse between nations, which was the supreme need of all the world to-day. (Hear, hear.) It would need great and combined efforts of the still prosperous, or com- paratively prosperous, nations to set the less completely ruined nations, who were without food, Without raw material, without credit, with a depreciated cur- rency, and all their financial machinery out of gear-to get them on their legs again. And the more prosperous nations had got to do it, else they themselves will be dragged down by the rain of their neighbours, and their social life infected by the anarchy and revolutionary tendencies which starvation and misery were bound to engender, and which which knew no geographi- cal boundaries.
UNREST AT HOME.
That was the picture abroad. Meanwhile, at home were heard on dil sides rumblinge "and mutterings of industrial unrest. He was enough of ал optimist to think that the common sense of the great body of this nation, and, better still, ite temperate spirit and its ingrained preference for moderate and constitutional methods progress, would pull it through, and that we should not throw away all that we had gained in these last five years of unparallel- ed suffering and sacrifice by bifter internal strife. (Hear, hear)
But
one thing was quite certain. We could not afford any slackness. We could not avoid further sacrifices. It was only by great and sustained national efforts of the steady and construc- tiyb forces of society that we could put our house in order and o escape the dangers which confronted on every hand. And the basin of the whole work, of reconstruction was sound International finance.
