LONDON, April 6th.
The Manchester Guardian, commenting on Mr. Bonar Law's speech in the House of Commons with reference to Dominion Home Rule with special reference to the fact that the South African Republicans are endeavouring to apply the argument in their favour, dwells on the importance of Ministers thinking carefully when speaking at the centre of the Empire in order to avoid misinterpretation.

Britain's silence as regards the circular is taken as consent. Some of the French ..papers appeal for British co-operation with the Fleet or otherwise against "the continual violations of the Treaty."
"ALL WILL END WELL?
L'Echo de Paris says that Britain has taken from the Germans what she de- manded, and it is only just that Franco should insist on ensuring her safety and guaranteeing her supplies of Ruhr og The writer adds that M. Millerand, when asked if Britain would accept the French viewpoint, replied "Britain has been vic terious, so has" France. I am confident all will end well.”
