AMOUNT OF THE LOAN. "We are not giving a loan to Russia," he added, “but only guaranteeing a loan, the purposes of which are clearly de fined.' He ridiculed the suggestion of a "loân of 2100,000,000. That was the amount Mr. Lloyd George had got at his conscience. (Laughter.) Not one; third of that amount had ever been men- tioned.

We will not ask the House of Commens for a blank cheque. If the House of Commons does not permit us to make the Treaty it had better ensure
