London, Aug.
Bir Auckland Geddes speaking at Basingstoku, stated that at the suggestion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer a
· fiugania), cómmittee had been formed with Mr. Lloyd George sa chaiman," with the object of reducing expenditure and exercising economy. The Premier was concentrating upon the task of cutting down expenditure and enormous results wern being achieved.
The country was faced with two great problems, finding markets and to secure production. We were starting a system of export credits with a view to facilitating resump- sion of axpart trade to disorganized parts of castern Europe, especially furnishing coal because without it the recovery of Europe was impossible. We were completely re- modelling, strengthening and developing the Consular, Com! mercial and Diplomatic Services and taking steps to foster trade within the Empire. He made a stirring appeal as regarda increasing output and said the other way lay in disaster.

SITUATION IN EUROPE.
LORD ROBERT CECIL AND THE PEACE
Lord Robert Cecil recently ad- dressed the annual meeting of the Hitchin Division of the Conserva tive and Unionist Association, and at night spoke on the League. of Nations at a public meeting in the Town Hall. At the former gathering he dealt with a variety of topics, and, alluding to his stay in Paris, he said he had never had a work of vester importance, not only to this country bat to the world. It was an attempt to establish some system which should take the place of war. Touching on the economia situa- tion in Europe, he said it was as serious as it could possibly be People were unable to grat sufficient food and there was a general breakdown of all tran- sport and the whole system of credit. A vital point was seriously injured or absolutely destroyed. The most urgent pro- blem of foreign affairs was to try and det right that economic position, and for that purpose. even in our own interests, we must be prepared if neces ary to come to the assistance of Europe, and we must in particular so frame our Peace policy as not to binder the economic recovery of Europe. If we did we must not be surprised if revolutionary ideas developed which would ultimately tangulf if not ourselves, at any rate every other country I Europe.
Lord
Speaking of Russia, Robert said the position was one of great difficulty. It was not part of our business, to interfers in the internal affairs of foreign countries, but we were bound to keep our word, and could not retire and leave in the lurch, and without falfiling an implied obligation, all those whom we had asked to take a certain action. The problem was to combine those two principles in the policy we were pursuing in Russia. But, added Lord Robert, I would say to the Government. 'For heaven's sake make up you minds. We recognise your posi tion, and we shall not be too hard if you decide on a policy with which we may not be in agreement; but fix your policy. pursue it unfalteringly to the end. The right line to aim at was not so much favouring one side or the other as to favour peace. That was what the world needed.

Touching on home affairs, his lordship said he should be glad if pre-war topics had disappeared, but among other things, unfor- tunately, the Irish question was still unsettled, and he did not pretend to have a specific for its settlement. He still thought the only way was to induce the Irish to settle it for themselves, and we could do nothing useful in that direction. His lordship made brief re- ference to the Women's Bill. and said he pledged himself to remove existing inequalities, and he felt, bound to vote for the bill in the Commons. The bill) was carried, though he was sorry not with the approval of the Gov- ernment. "However," he added, we cannot always agree, and I am sure yon" would wish me to carry out whatever pledges Igave at the election, whatever the con- sequences might be in the Home of Commons.". (Cheers.)
The industrial position through- out the world was exceedingly. serious. Great changes in organ- isation of industry were desirable, He adhered to the view that the worker but the right to a voice in controlling and managing the business in which he was engaged; as his whole livelihood depended on its proper management. When he heard off nationalisation, he asked himself. Was it going to give the worker greater industrial; freedom? He felt the great- est possible doubt on that point. He did not say there were not forms of industrial activity which could properly belong to the State, but speaking broadly, hel had the greatest doubt whether any such proposal would be of advantage to the working man, and well-sounding phrases should not mislead them to plunge the whole country i to a system of autocratic bureaucracy. (Cheers.) E urged more class unity, and and if that could be combined with a better system of interna tional government based on the League of Nations it would lead to true progress and the advance ment of mankind.
