But I recognise that that Note is written with a desire to carry forward those proposals for mutual pact of scurity which were initiated by the Ger man Government itself, which have been welcomed by his Majesty's Government and responded to in a most friendly and conciliatory tone by the Allied Govern ments of France, and Belgium. 1 za hopeful that, where it is so obviously tha interests of the great nations to get away from the past nad turn to a better future, if we settle this question”: of security, and we remove, that sense of fear of a new peril pending in the future. which might ngain menace the peace of the world, there will be a sensibly relief. not only among those nations who sao- immediately concerned in the Pact in which the British Government will share, industrial situation, wrote a Home indus- Gat a sensible relief throughout the world, trial journalist recently. à crisis has and that other nations may in their own been reached with regard to wages in sphere and dealing with the danger the wool textile industry of this country, which menace their part of the world, which has naturally had a further de perhaps be tempted to follow and imitato pressing effect upon business through successfully the example of the Great out the industry, and has largely counter-Powers of the West.
