TO-DAY'S CABLES.

(Reuter's Service to the China #7)

OUR DEBT TO U.S.A.

NOT PAID WITH WEST INDIES.

LONDON, March 8,

In the House of Commons, replying to Mr. Gideon Murray, with re- gard to the American suggestion that the British West Indies should be ceded to the United States in exchange for the cancellation of certain war debts, Mr. Lloyd George stated that the government had not the slightest intention of bartering or selling any part of the British West Indies. (loud

cheers.)

Replying to Mr. Asquith, Mr. Chamberlain stated that the government did not intend to re-borrow outside the United Kingdom any part of the $250,000,000 required to repay the British half of the Anglo-French loan of $500,000,000 from the United States, so that when this loan was repaid, the British external debt would be reduced by over $50,000,000. The government would employ in this connection all their available resources in the United States, supplemented by a shipment of gold they had already begun to buy. Anglo-French bonds were considerably below par.

THE ROAD TRANSPORT DISPUTE.

FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS:

LONDON, March 4.

Both parties in the road transport dispute have approached the Minister of Labour who has arranged further negotiations. The Workers' Federation is consequently likely to defer definite action until next week.

PARIS STRIKERS LIBERATED. [.

PARIS March 4,

The arrested railway strike leaders have been released.

PRINCES TRIP TO AUSTRALISIA.

LONDON, March 6, The Renown is under medical observation in Portsmouth harbour.

·Some cases of influenza are still aboard. It is stated that the decision whether the ship sails on Tuesday or not depends on the report of, the medical officers, which will be submitted to the Prince.

PROTECTING ARMENIANS IN TURKEY.

LONDON, March 8.

In the House of Commons, replying to Lord Robert Cecil, with regard to the protection of Armenians in Turkey, Mr. Lloyd George stated that the French government had taken prompt measures powerfully to reinforce General Gourand in order to re-establish his position and prevent further attacks on Armenians in Cicilia. French warships were also sent to Mer sina. With regard to Constantinople, identical instructions for immediate drastic action were sent to the high commissioners by the Allies, who were .acting in complete accord. It would be inexpedient to reveal the character of these instructions until replies from the Allied representatives were received.
