One of the outstanding questions that had to be answered at the Imperial Conference was what was meant by collective security in the world to-day, particularly Europe..

There could be no worse outcome than if the British Commonwealth of Nations agreed on any policy on the Far East the United States should be brought into consultation. ·

ALLEGED. FRAUD ON BEAUTY SPECIALISTS

CHEQUES" RETURNED

Charges of obtaining ... money from West End beauty specialists ,with intent to defraud were made at Marylebone Police Court recent- 17 against Lady (Esther Lillan) Makgill," aged. 32, of Winchester court, Kensington...

Mr. J. Maude, counsel, prosecut- ing for the police; said that Lady Makgilt was arrested on 1 war- rant on one charge, and two others had been added.

She had a banking account at Barclays Bank, Westbourne-groye, he said, but it was a sorry thing to look at. "It was opened in" January with £8 in cash, and by the middle of February there were several ebeques marked "R." On March 8, the Bank informed her that the account would be clos- ed on the 15th. After the Bank: nad taken is. 8d. for cheques there was nothing left. Afterwards, a great number of cheques came to the Bank, which had to be refer- red to drawer as there was no fund.

In the cases before the Court, he explained, she gave cheques for larger amounts than were due and received change. The cheques afterwards returned marked "R.D." After Lady Makgill was arrest- ed, he said, persons on her behalf went round and tried to pay off these amounts, including some body calling himself Lord Makgill and s solicitor.

Mr. Maude added that Lady Makgill opened another account with the Midland Bank, Edgware- road, on April 5, and paid £5 in. but by April 17 the account had nothing in it!
