LONDON, April 28. "Let there be no doubt about it," said Mr. Ramsay MacDonald acknowledging the presenta- tion of an illuminated address at Port Talbot.

"The experts' report is an opportunity for a peace settlement which if not taken advantage.of by European statesmen will be one of the most golden opportunities ever neglected and lost."

Mr. MacDonald declared the last thing he wanted was France to be isolated. He wanted M. Poincaré to know that so far as her security was concerned France has not a better friend than 'Britain.

WELLINGTON, April 28. Speaking at the State luncheon in connection with the visit of the Empire Squadron, the Premier, Mr. Massey, stated that the last had not been heard of the Singapore scheme.

The dominions must stand to their respon sibilities.

He hoped if the scheme were not proceeded with that the Admiralty would ask New Zealand to maintain another cruiser in the Pacific.-Renter

ANOTHER TRIBUTE.

PARIS, April 28.

Both sides express complete satisfaction and perfect identity of views prevails following a meeting, lasting over three hours, of the four French and Belgian principals and the heads of all the French departments concerned in the experts". report which it is understood was discussed in all its aspects.Reuter.

[M.M. Theunis and Hymans have arrived at Paris, and have conferred with M. Poincaré at the Quai D'Orsay. They emphasised that the conversa tions do not constitute a formal conference, being merely an exchange of views, prior to their visit to London. They stated that Belgium thus marks her solidarity with France, though she cannot be expected to neglect her own interests. They denied that the object of their Parls visit is to mediate between France and Britain.]

RIGID DEMANDS.

PARIS, April 29.

It is understood in French diplomatic circles that M. Poincaré, M. Theunis and M. Hymans have agreed (1) rigidly to insist that Germany put the experts' plan irto operation before the present control measures in the Ruhr and the Rhineland can be withdrawn; (2) that the re-establishment of the economic and fiscal unity of Germany does not necessarily involve the automatic cessation of the military occupation of the Ruth, and (3) the rallway communications of the occupation troops must be safeguarded and must not be dependent on German railwaymen.Reuter...
