SPEECH AT «IMPERIAT
CONFERENCE.
----
LONDON, Oktober 5th,
· Lord Curzon Segretary for Foreign Affairs occupied a three hour sitting of The Imperial Conference this morning in reviewing the foreign situation all over this world. The greater part of his speech is necessarily confidential as it supplemented a written communication on the past two years by giving the delugates orally the inner bistory of that peried, explaining the springs of British polier since 1921. It was decided that certain parts of his speech relating to matters of urgeat im portance be published verbally Inter in the day. It was pointed out that this is a departure from the procedure at all previous conferences.
Mr. Baldwin communicated a meatyo from His Majesty thanking the Empire Premiers for the generous terms of their ad- dress on the occasion of the opening of the Conference, and trusting their deliberations will lead to a solution of the many grave "problems, the settlement of which is -necessary for the enimmonwealth of British
nations.
ILATER.
Lord Carzon in his speech said we
Britain alone saved the sitution in the risis after the Turkish victory over Greece, and prevented an invasion of Europe. He chained the solution regarding the Straits as eminently favourable to British Imperial interests, and thought the final nstoration of pence in the Near East, the freedom of the Straits, the liberation of the eutiru biock" of Arab countries, the enhanced prestige of Britain in Turkey, together with appeasement in all Moslem countries, sufficiently justified the British labours at Lausnon A very heavy task awaited Turkey. He expressed the opinion that she would experience great disillusion. ments, many disappointments, and so fruits she claimed to be garnered would turn out Dead Ses apples in her mouth; but is making the great experiment abe started with complete ala ence of resentment on her part aud à sincero expression of our goodwill.

It was at present uncertain whether Herr Stresemaan, who had the courage and wisdom to take this step, would survive. Were w. however, any nearer a settle- ment? Would reparations begin to flow in Ton Curzon intimated that the Government thought the time for a discussion between the Allies had come, and said he had not concealed the British view in bis conversations with the French Ambassador, and it had the approval of Mr. Baldwin, who recently did so much by his visit to Paris to re-create a friandly atmosphere after a rather heated discharge of rival us. The German Government were, so far as he could gather, sincere in their intentions, and had taken the steps required, though it might be too much to expect that the abandonment of resistance cul? be followed instantly by enthusiastic co-operation.

LATEST CABLES. LORD CURZON'S SPEECH
BITTERLY CRITICISED BY FRENCH PRESS. »
PARIS, October 6th... Lord Curzon's speech has mtonished and angered the French Press.
The Figuro says that Mr. Baldwin's speech has revealed him ng an original "thinker and
sincere friend of France,
while Lord Curzen's speech revealed him as a man embittered by the failure of his policy. The speech does not improve the prospects of a settlement.
..*
The che de Paris says that Tord Cur zon's speech will revive all the past con- troversies because it implicitly nutises the
Germans to bold out.
The Matin ways that Lord Curzon not merely differed from French views, but was also offensive,
The Gaulois says it was a singular oth which brutally threw oil in the
fire.
The Petit Parisien says that Lord Car zon's chief anxiety was, apparently, not to improve the happy effects of
Baldwin's intervention.

Referring to Lord Curzon's speech. he remarked that every German attempt te play off one Ally against another would be political stupidity. The sole possibility" for n solution of the reparations problem lay in an agreement by the Allies on one side and Germany on the other; the French Government could illustrate their goodwill by entering the negotiations now that passive resistance had been aban doned.
