Viscount Curzon declared that the conference communiqués had been vegative, 'ambiguous and obscure but as he did not wish to be unfriendly, or harsh he suggested a modification of the motion to an expression of opinion that the Conference should be brought to an early conclusion as soon as possible.

INDIA IN FIVE DAYS.

SERVICE BEFORE THREE YEARS.

GOVERNMENT STATEMENT.

LONDON. May 28. In the House of Commons Mr. W. Lench, Under Secretary for Air in moving the Committee stage of the supplementary estimate for the Government's scheme of airship development said that the prospect of reaching India in five days and Australia in ten or twelve days justified the taking of a few risks (cheers) if the scheme was success- ful. He was confident of the tremendous possibilities of the scheme and three years was the outside period expected to elapse before it would be possible to make the journey to Indla. He was confident that it would be less and the Government proposed to begin rescarch at Cardington Aerodrome and would proceed at the earliest possible moment to build an airship with Ave. million cubic feet capacity. He was not authorised to say if the Government intended to run a of all to give contractors the option of doing it passenger service to India but they purposed first

The vote was agreed to.--Router.

Poincaré's reply on May 15

definitely declared the impending resignation of the Cabinet but thought the conversations could quite well continue in preliminary form. In the meantime Poincaré wrote a long letter on May 14, themselves. which crossed with Macdonald's, expressing the belief from accounts received from Belgian Ministers of conversations with Macdonald that there was every ground of hoping that final agree- ment could be reached without difficulty. It also recapitulated his government's attitude with respect to the Dawes report as already known-Reuter.

been placed in a difficult position in dealing with Matthews partly owing to the vigorous press campaign conducted on his behalf (Opposition Cheers) and because it was not the first occasion. upon which he had submitted schemes and more extravagant claims; consequently the Departments were unable to accept Matthews' statement with regard to this invention without scrutiny, which apparently he was not prepared to face.-Reuter.

(The Allied standpoint was arrived at by the Conference of Ambassadors who claimed the right of the inter-Allied Commission to verify throughout Germany whether during 1923 when the control ceased Germany engaged in new milltary pre parations and whether disarmament could be considered as finally completed.]
