EXPERTS VIEWS..

(Reuter's Service to the China Mail.)

LONDON, October 15. Arguing on the assumption that battigstips were useless against modern defensive weapons like airships, aeroplanes, mines, torpedoes, and Submarines, Sir Percy Scott addressing the Australian natives' association at the Colonial stitue described the Singapore base as a wicked scheme and said the dominions should not con tribute a penny towards it, but should rather spend their money on modern defence methods. He ad vocated keeping a large number of cruisers and destroyers for a world-wide guard of dominion trade,

'MUELLER'S PROHIBITION..

SAXON PROTESTS,

· { Reuler's Service to the China Mail.)

BERLIN, October 1507

The Saxon Government unsuccessfully protested in Berifo Against General Master's prohibition. General Mueller has incurred further Saxon displeasure by forbidding the congress of Saxon and Thuringian workmen's councils at Dresdea on October 18. The Vorwaarts roundly condemas the one-sidedness of this state of emergency which it complains is chiefly applied to states where the gaverament includes socialists, whereas Bavaria goes scot free. Herr Ebert has renounced the half of his special allowance in view of the "seriousness of the times." It is semi-officially reported that in dealing which the nonfulfilment of the expectation of the resumption of work of the railways following the cessation of passive resistance, the continuation of the Franco Belgian railway regime is not justified and only aims at cutting off Germany politically from the Rahr. The Geran charge d'affaires at Paiss has been instructed to seek another interview with Mr. Poincaré,

UNEMPLOYMENT. A

VAST EXPENDITURE Authorised.

STEEL DUMPING.

LONDON, October 15.

Sir W. Joynson Hicks in a speech at Hounslow on the question of unemployment said that in addi- tion to relief work already proceeding, the Cabinet had authorised a further expenditure of £14,000,000 a total approximately of £40,000,000. A large stock of iron and steel from the Ruhr was waiting to be dumped much below British manufacturing price and constituted a menace which it would be a stupendous folly for the Government to allow..
