FRENCH FOREIGN POLICY.
London, March 27.
In the Chamber, M. Millerand, replying to the foreign debate, emphasised the continued unity of the Allied Powers. He ridiculed the talk about the Alliance's crisis. He said there had been some divergences of views daring conversations. but, as in war time, an understanding had been reached after compromises. He was convinced that compromises would continue to take place for the greatest good of all the Allied Powers. He declared that the Allies had undertaken not to negotiate with Soviet Russia politically except by mutual agree- ment. He emphasised that the Allies could only recognise the Russian Government when it recognised national sovereignty not only by words but also by deeds. He indicated that the Government, however, was prepared to assist businessmen wishingto inquire about immediate trade possibilities in Russia. The Allies desired to create "a practicable Turkey" which was quite com→ patible with the freedom of the Straits, guaranteed by an international organisation and with safeguards for the economic and financial interests of France and Turkey which are of the first importance. He added that France would be able to exert her just influence.
Paris, March 27.
M. Millerand, referring to recent attacks on Allied officers in Germany, announced that Marshal Foch had submitted to the Allied Governments a plan of exacting moral and material reparation and fresh guarantees. While tot rejecting the idea of economic co-operation M. Millerand pointed out that Germany had to give evidence of good faith by carrying out the terms of the Treaty. France did not intend to be cheated. The situation is srave. The continued existence of the German militarist is evidenced by facts which are of the greatest peril and not to ourselves alone. When Paris is threatened and London is not safe the Allies will understand. When I say, with an unanimous public opinion behind me, that France who would be to-morrow, as she was yesterday, a victim of a fresh attack, I cannot await
& solution indefnitely.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
London, March 26.
Mr. Lloyd George, speaking at the National Liberal Club, said he did not desire to misrepresent the Labour Party which represented clean, emphatic, and sincere He declared common ownership was am convictions. essential part of the Labour Party's programme which it said it only inserted in order to conciliate a section of the party. That was a very dangerous doctrine in these tropical days when seed sowa very quickly bore fruit. They could not put such doctrines in the forefront of the programme of a powerful party and say they meant cothing. If the Labour Party won the general election moderate men like Clyzes, Henderson, and Thomas would be compelled to carry out the programme. Were we to risk the industrial life of the country upon the mere chance that they would betray their supporters?
Society could not take any chances in these re- volutionary days. The Labour Party's programme was to end capitalism and create a co-operative commonwealth Before Labour snatched a victory let the cation realise the meaning of the Labour programme and then choose deliberately and open eyed. Referring to Mr. Asquith's description of him as a demagogue, the Premier said some of the greatest men
called in history had been "demagogues. The epithet was always applied by the dull and pompous against anyone having greater power in appealing to the masses than they. The Premier con- cluded by deprecating the present party strifa. Patience, forbearance, courage, and good humour were essential to enable us successfully to solve the problems of Europe and the world. (Cheers).
BRITAIN'S OVERSEAS GARRISON.
London, March 24.
most
In the House of Commons on the report on the vote for men for the army Commander Kenworthy urged the immediate strengthening of the garrison at Singapore.
Mr. Churchill, replying, explained that in order to meet the extra burdens thrown on the Army they were forced to prune their requirements in order to save as many as possible. The garrisons of naval bases and coaling stations had been revised and about a dozen bat- talions had thereby been secured. He pointed out that Commander Kenworthy was a great advocate of economy, and doubtless other members might advocate greater mili- tary preparations in other places but what would become of economy if an extra unit was provided for every "fortress?
THE IRISH RISING.
London, March 22.
In the House of Commons Mr. Lloyd George, replying to Mr. Clement Edwards, regretted that such questions (regarding an Irish conspiracy and German intrigues) were put down. It was obviously not in the public in terest to answer.

Their guest, he said, had been manager of the Company for thirty years and was the first manager of the Company since its reconstruction in 180. The ser vices he had rendered to the Com- pany had resulted in prosperity after many difficult sad deübtfil years and also they were responsible for the high state of efficiency of the Company in its service to the public. As members of the staff they all regretted Mr Walker's departure, the more especially as he was severing his connection with the Colony. But it was Mr Walker's wish to spend a few years with his family before they went but into the world for themselves, and they could not grudge him that privilege after 50 many Mr gears spent in Hongkong. Walker was leaving the Dairy Farru Company at the height of its prosperity. Some of their activities! were still in a state of growth, and they hoped that should Mr Walker find the opportunity of revisiting i the Colony he would see the com pletion of the various branches be had been instrumental in inaugura - ting. They wished him ludg life and happiness in the homeland to enjoy to the full the rest he had so well eamed.
