His Majesty said that despite the arduous duties ahead ba confident France and the British Empire would carry through their great work of reconstruction in the same spirit of mutual trust and good fellowship which they exhibited in wartime. My country has already given a fresh proof of her devation to the aliance by signing

agreement to come to the aid of France if menaced afresh by her old enemy. I pray Heaven to avert such calamity, and that the League of Nations inay ensine the peace of the world and enable all nations to pursue their allotted taules in tranquillity and security.

He was confident of the glorious destinies of the two nations proceed- ing together along the paths of peace, firmly united by indissoluble ties and undying memories of common endurance and commón triumph.

His Majesty thus concluded: "Qur aspirations are identical. Our interests should never conflict. I am unable to contemplate any situation in which we shall not act together in defence of our high ideals of liberty and justice! The Queen and I are especially glad that Madame Poincare was able to accompany you and enable us to welcome her as our guest.

POINCARE AT GUILDHALL.

Following the reception, President Poincare was entertained to luncheon at the Guildhall, where a most distinguished company attended. The Lord Mayor in a felicitous speech eulogised the sacrifices of the French nation. President Poincare when replying had a magnificient ovation. He drew attention to the sufferings at enemy hands of London, and Paris, which during the war so completely symbolised the characteristics of the British and French forces. Gentan air raids had killed 516 and injured 1570 in London. The same methods of terrorisation were tied over Faris but Germany was as much deceived in London as in Paris.” The enemy's attacks were opposed by unshakeable determination, supported by a firm conviction of national duty. (Cheers).
