He cordially welcomed Mr co-operate with other Governments in limiting air Cosgrave (Free State) and his colleagues armaments.

The divergence reflected differences of temperament and outlook between the two nations which it would be foolish to ignore but the last two years had shown they were not incompatible with wholehearted co- operation in the face of a grave danger.

1.

GOVERNMENT'S PATIENCE, -- Mr. Baldwin said the Government had strained every nerve to 'preserve the solidarity of the Allies especially the entente believing any Anglo French rupture might postpone the peace of Europe. The Government's patience in trying to preserve good relations with France had laid them open to the charges of indecision and weakness but at least it testified to their wish to act in the words of Disraeli as a"moderating mediatorial power" in the councils of Europe and their ardent desire to preserve friendship with France seemed at present to be entering on a new phase with the collapse of German passive resistance which appear ed Imminent. When he met M. Poincaré in Paris he did not venture to predict how the new situation would develop, but it was clear to them in Paris and became daily clearer that it could be only by the closest co-operation and complete confidence of the Allies in each other that a settlement of Europe's difficulties could be hoped for. Mr. Baldwin added that Lord Curzon would make a fuller statement of the situation when foreign affairs were discussed later in the week.

Mr. Baldwin surveying the situation of Europe. said the size of armies and the money spent on munitions was greater than in 1914. In view of the economic solidarity rent asunder was it not amazing that all efforts should not be directed to reconstruc tion? His only consolation was to recall the history of the past and reflect on the unity of our own empire and the deep universal desire of our people for peace. In this connection he referred to the growing international and moral sense revealed by the pro ceedings of the Assembly of the League of Nations and the existence of a powerful friend of peace in the United States, and finally that the league of nations in whose name they assembled, namely the British commonwealth, would fare greater as General Smuts once truly said than any empire which ever existed, "a dynamic system growing and evolving all the time towards new destinies."

'A NETWORK OF STEEL"

Mr. Baldwin said the Empire was a natural spontaneous product not only of its own necessities but those of mankind." Before me I see men who together can speak for the world commonwealth containing one quarter of mankind. Like a network of steel embedded in concrete this. Commonwealth holds more than itself together; dissolve these ties and civilisation itself would 'collapse. We stand here on an equal footing. No Government present can bind the rest; we can act with effect so far as we agree and no further, but we shall achieve agreement and so strengthen bonds uniting us, only so far as each and all is seeking how to relieve not only our own difficulties but those of, the distracted world.. The British Empire cannot live for itself alone; Its strength as a commonwealth of nations will grow so far as they unite to bear the burdens of those weaker. and less fortunate than themselves."

ANGLO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE. · Mr. Baldwin recalled the future of the Anglo-

PRAISE FOR THE LEAGUE. Mr. Baldwin referring to the Italo-Greek crisis particularly drew attention to the very useful and effective part played by the League of Nations. The members of the Council of the League deserved the greatest credit för placing the permanear interests of peace above what might seem to be the imJapanese alliance and its bearing on the relations mediate interests of the League. Hid the Lagus of the Empire with the UnitedStates. It was the chief not existed, and not acted as it did, resort to arms would almost inevitably have occurred.
