"DISAGREEABLE SITUATION.

· BRITAIN'S PROTESTS.

(Reuters Service to the Ching Mall.).

LONDON, June 28.

the House of Lords, debating the American seizure of liquor on British shilps, Lord Cutton, Foreign Minister, declared this made absolutely no chance in our agreeing with the United States proposal for a 12-mile limit as regards 'quor only, as a confideration for which the United States offers to allow the entry of British fiquor under seal.

LATER

The ships'llquor debate was, initiated by Lord Birkenhead in what Lord Curzon later described as the language of extreme circumspection.

"Lord Birkenhead declared the Volstead Act was never intended to create the present situation which conflicted with sea usage. He suggested that British diplomacy ask the United States to infuse some mitigation which would leave United States policy unimpaired and simultaneously relieve. British shipping from a serious and unnecessary burden.

· Lord Curzon emphasized the importance of the question which he said should be solved not so much by considerations of law as tactics of diplomacy.

"IMPOSSIBLE FOSITION":""

(Rester Service to the China Mail.)

LONDON: June 28

The Labour Conference passed a resolution weltgoing the amalgamation of the Second Inter- nadonsi and the Vienna International; characteris

the Ruhr occupation as an act of aggression and war; demanding negotiations or arbitration; advisTM a world conference to revise the peace treaties; rand urging recognition of Russia.

*** Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, moving the resolution, d the war spirit would revive unless Britain had Government which would devise a policy to stifle

rents;

ANOTHER WAY OUT.

* VIENNA, June 28. A meeting of the League of Nations Societies parted a resolution expressing the opinion that the machinery of the League should be used, with the assistance of Germany and possibly also the United States, to secure a settlement in connection with questions of reparations, Inter-allied debts and the security of frontiers.

Count Bernstorff in the course of the debate, said if Germany could be assured the whole Occ 3d territory would be eventually restored, she would pay to the last penny. A

WEERING PROPOSAL REJECTED.

LONDON, June 29...

The Labour Conference by 2,924,000 votes to- 808000 picoted a resolution Instructing the Parlis-

Lord Curzon denied that the Government had treated the matter with silence. On the contrary, we had pointed out to Americs that for any State to project the operation, of strictly domestic and municipal law onto foreign vessels on the high seas,mentary Labour members to vote against all military which was the practical effect of the American and naval estimates. ruling, would be unprecedented and create an Impossible position for international voyages If the precedent were made general.

Lord Curzon expressed the opinion that the real motive of the United States Government in allowing- the matter to come to a head at the present time was probably a desire to check the contraband, carried on from British territory in the West Indies, also from British vassels outside terrisacfal waters,

Lord Curzon pointed out that Britain-had refused to entertain the 12-miles limit proposal in June of last year and had repeated the refusal a fortnight ago He concluded by saying the government was using all chamuels of diplomacy to find an exit from a disagreeable situation which ought not to be allowed to continue.

ments,

The War Minister, M. Maginot, scouted M Mistral's enquiry if France was on the eve of war with England. He declared it was not a question" of Britain, but Germany. They would be mad to run a risk from Germany who was concentrating all her efforts of the creation of an air force.
