BERLIN, October 18th. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald received representatives of the German Press in Berlin this morning and answered questions put to him on British and international affairs.

The first question was what he thought of the Franco-British naval plained that, owing to his long ab sence in Canada and the shortness of his stay in England since his return, his information on the sub ject was incomplets. According to the S-Uhr Abendblatt, he suggest- macy had been making an excur sion into the old and fortunatel out-of-date policy of the "balance of power." However, one thing was certain, he continued, according to all versions: the British nafion did not stand for par policy aiming at the renewal of special alliances or a return, to the balance-of-power system.

At Kowloon the" unbeaten I.B.C. 2nd XI got a nasty shock from the

The Indians' batting was very upenterprising and their run. ning was faulty. There were about

At Happy Valley the Civil Service 2nd saatched an excellent win from Craigengower who, after declaring at the good score of 155 for 7 (which included an 8th wicket. partnership of 72), had the morki- Ecation of seeing their opponents pass that total just on time, the C.S. batsmen all hitting away mer rily against the clock.

At King's Park the Sappers again showed that they are a very hard team to beat. Their batting wasn't up to much on the Electries' tricky matting wicket, but their two Colonels soon bad their opponents out, the C.E. getting 3 for 50 and the C.R.E. 4 for 21.

The Portuguêse" ran up the good total of 170 for 8,, the first 4 batsmen all scoring" well, and then Sousa, who had the re markable analysis of 7 for 13, and Alves trundled out the Poler for 26, King alone putting up any resistance. On this showing the Recreio XI must be pretty strong and they will probably improve. still more as the season advances.

Cautious About Russia.. The versions of Mr. MacDonald's replies on relations with Soviet Russia differ, but he was evidently cautious. He did not, apparently, anggest that a resumption of re lations was necessarily advisable at the moment. Having just arrived from Vienna, Mr. MacDonald was questioned as the attitude of the Labour Party towards the Anschluss [Austro-German Union). If it had not adopted one, he said smilingly, neither had it adopted an attitude towards the treatment of malaria. The Anschluss was at present a matter for Germany and Austria. If the desire for union was clearly felt by both nations they abould unite. Pressed further, be added that so far as the Labour Party had anything to say it would always avoid direct interference and would therefore challenge the right of any other country to interfere.
