that Britain is prepared to forego a good deal, and Belgium is also willing to assist towards the same end. It is, there. more unfortunate if our fore, all the friends across the Channel maintain an implaceable opposition to any advances along these lines. We hear a great deal about the suffering that France bas en- dured, but ae, too, have paid the price of war. We are, however, practical people, and if it is impossible to obtain all that the Treaty stipulates the next) best course is to take as much as is pos Dealers sible. The object is to start trade again;| and this is as much in the interests of France as of ourselves and the world at

THE ECONOMIC, POSITION.

The Cannes Conference, although abrupt. ly concluded, may act have been in vain. One definite decision we reached. This was the consent of the French representa tives to the calling of a great European Conference, to include Germany and Russia, within the next few months, to consider the whole economic position of Europ and of each separate State. It is now understood that this international conference will be held at Genus carly, in Marsh,

Mearchite, it is important to note that in the text of the Anglo-French pact is a stipulation that the agreement shall entail no obligations of the British Dominions until they have approved it. In this may be seen another stage in the development of the constitation of the British Empire. It indicates very clearly' that although the United States was. determined that the Dominions should not be represented at Washington on the Pacific question that is not to be taken as a precedent. If the proposals put forward by Mr. Lloyd Gearga at Carnes had been accepted by Fran: that is, if the Con- ference had carried its labour to a satis factory conclusion-the endorsement of the Dominions would have been sought to what was done.

IN TELATRE-LAND,

London theatres have fallen-only tem porarily, it is to be hoped-upon evil' tinics. The week no fewer than nine West End productions are being with drawn and the houses closed. Moreover, it is currently stated that other theatres will follow suit and close down in the course of a month or so. The trouble in theatre-land is chiefly due to the exorbit int rentals which are exacted. In the cash of several West End theatres" the minimum rent is in each instance £20,000. per annum. This is a very tall order indeed, and the prodter of new play which may or may not hit the public taste, requires a degree of courage border. ing on the heroic before he ties that fuan-i cial liability, leke a mill-stone round him. As there is no present prospect of lower rentals the doors of many popular theatres: in London are likely to remain closed for an indefinite period, or, at all events, till. landlords are in a more reasonable frame of mind. In the meantime, numbers of actors and netresses are destined to find themselves, like Othello, with their occupation gong,

His ability as a Parliamentariaz was far above the ordin- ary, and he combined a capacity for apt criticism with a mordant wit.
