Cleveland, To-day.

Yesterday's highlight at the Republican Con- vention was the arrival of Mr. Herbert Hoover. The crowd of thousands had already been whip- ped to a state of semi-hysteria by the events of the day and nearly mobbed the ex-President on his arrival at the station, in anticipation that he would launch a smashing-assault on the New Deal in his speech last night. Mr. Hoover was obliged to shake hands with well-wishers for half an hour.

The sub-committee drafting the Republican platform reach- ed agreement with regard to a statement on foreign policy ac- ceptable to Senator Borah, who had threatened to bolt with his followers into the Roosevelt camp if Governor Landon were chosen as the candidate.

London, To-day.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, in a speech in London-yesterday, alluded to the recent circular of Lord Cecil to they members of the League of Nations Union, urging pressure on the Government to pursue sanctions, even to intensify them, with the object of still pre- serving the independence of Abyssinia.

"That is midsummer madness," said Mr. Chamberlabs. Such ja 'policy will only lead to further misfortunes which will divert our minds as practical men from seeking alber and better solu tions. The circumstances in which the Italo-Ethiopian dispute began offered the most favourable opportunity for the exercise. of the League policy of collective security, but that policy based on sanctions has been tried out and has failed.”
