The French delegation presented a proposal at Over 80 were arrested to-day and many arrests and yesterday's meeting of the Naval Sub-committee in convictions in various parts of Bengal and Assam are volving such a great increase in the strength of the reported.

HOL AND BIRROWS $100,000,00

MONEY FOR DUTCH INDIES.

THE HAGUE, December 16. The Government has introduced a Bill for the Hotation of a loan in the United States, the nominal Amount being $100,000,000. The maximum interest is 71 per cent but probably the interest will be at the rate of 6) per cent. The money will be used exclusively in the Dutch Indies. The Government has asked the second Chamber to deal with the matter speedily as it was possible a satisfactory arrangement would be concluded within a few days with a very powerful American Bauk for part of the loan:

QUESTIONS IN THE COYZOVS,

GERMANY'S REPARATION DUES.

THE NAVAL POSITION

LONDON, December 16, In the House of Commons at question time Mr. Hilton Young said that the amount the British-Empire had bitherto received from Germany under the repara- tions and financial clauses of the treaty of Versailles was insufficient to cover the British army of occupation. Amidst ironical opposition cheers, Colonel Amery aaid the construction of the four new British battleships would presently be suspended. What would ultimately be done depende l on the outcome of the Washington conference. He had no information in regard to a re port from Washington that two of these ships were ta be built.

PRINCE'S INDIAN TOUR.

SUCCESSFUL DESPITE AGITATION.

DELHI, December 16, There is every reason to believe that the. Prince of Wales's tour will be most successful despite the efforts of agitators. Resentment is observed among the natives against intimidation, with the object of prevent- ing them joining in the celebrations.

..

"The Prince, since landing, has travelled 2,500 miles, visiting eight raling princes and lour places in British India, His Royal Highness's personality and sportaman like qualities have deeply impressed the minds of the natives, numbers of whom travelled considerable distances to see the Prince of Wales.

ARGUMENT ABOUT PAYMENT,

WASHINGTON, December 10. With reference to the Jappucre provisional; acceptance of China's offer to pay 53,000,000 gold marke

The Calcutta High Court Takils Association has parsed a resolution demanding the repeal of the Criminal Law Amendment Act in view of recent cases.. Respond- ing probably to the appeals of moderates to the govern- ment to change their policy the Viceroy emphasised that the Government policy was unchanged but when violence supervened the day the Prince of Wales landed the Government made its authority felt. That policy was unchangeable.

GERMANY'S DEAULT.

ENGLISH OPINIONS DIFFER.

FRENCH COMMENT FRANKLY HOSTILE.

LONDON, December 16. Germany's indemnity default has encountered sharply divided opinions in England one of which, voiced by the Liberal newspapers, reiterates denunica- tious of the Treaty of Versailles. The other side takes up the Premier's declaration to yesterday's labour delegation to the effect that hitherto Germany has only paitly paid the cost of the armies of occupation and

not yet contributed anything to reparations.

In Paris the comment is frankly hostile pointing out that Germany is crying overty while allowing her finances to remain in a chaotic state. Excelsior expects that Germany will demand a reduction in the number of troops in occupation.

Le Matin thinks the Reparations Commission will do nothing except report Germany's voluntary default leaving a decision to the allied Governments. Le Petit Parisien expects an immediate conference of the powers to discuss the situation.

REPARATIONS COMMISSION MEETS.

PARIS, December 16. The Reparations Commission met this morning and A further meeting was discussed the German note. held in the afternoon.

DISARMING OF GERMANY.

PARIS, December 15. The Conference of Ambassadors heard General Nollet's report on the disarmament of Germany and is now concerning itself especially with the construction ja Germany for assignment to America of a dirigible of 70,000 tons.
