The British Government has derlared that it is Senator Walsh, of Montana, baş bent going to abandon the Sudan in any sense whate permanent Chairman of the Democratic Convention. ever. This definite endorsement of the policy of

In a speech he condemned the Republicans sins of commission and omission, declaring Mr. Coolidge's party had palliated offences of unfaithful public servants.

"It is in this easy tolerance of turpitude that the real danger of free Government lies."

Senator Walsh advocated tariff repçal, relief of agriculture and general reform. He warned the Democrats against making the League of Nation's a chief issue in their campaign.

the previous Governments proclaimed by Lord Parmoor, Lord President of the Council, in the House of Lords In reply to a question, assumes. greater importance in view of the impending visit of the Egyptian Premier, Zaghlul Pasha, to discuss outstanding questions with Britain and the Egyptian" demand for the cession of the Sudan.

An, important contribution to the House of Lords discussion on the subject was made by Viscount, Grey of Fallodon, who in a, striking utterance deplored the fact that practically all Lard Cromer's splendid work of administration in Egypt had gone or was going.

Lord Grey insisted that the Egyptian Govern ment be made to understand that the right of protecting and administering the Suez Canal would not pass, to it. We must also make it quite clear- question of the Sudan. The only exception would be the question of the Nile waters which represent " ed a case for a joint Egpytian and Sudanese com- mission.

He subsequently accepted a resolution as correctly representing his position in effect:-"The United States should sympathetically co-operate with former allies and the League of Nations, having in view the ultimate adhesion of the United States to the convenant with proper reservations.

Lord Parmoor, giving the reassurance mention- ed above, emphasised that Britain recognised that." its obligations to the Sudanese were of such a character that no Government could abandon then without a very serious toss of prestige. ..
