ANGLO-FRENCH SITUATION.

Paris, May 19. The quieter tone of the French press mentioned yesterday has disappeared to-day in view of Mr. Lloyd George's statement which is regarded as aggravating the effects of his speech in the House of Commons. His reference to foreign press opinion is disputed, the papers declaring that the whole of the American press, with the exception of pro-German organs have approved of M. Briand, while important Italian newspapers mostly approved the French viewpoint. The Petit Parisien says that Mr. Lloyd George had deeply wounded French sentiment. France was entitled to consideration when the security of her soldiers was affected. She only wants simple justice, namely, that the country essentially Polish should be restored to Poland. The Petit Journal referring to the passage "The future world would be determined by old or new friendships" refuacs to believe that Mr. Lloyd George threatened France with a possible alliance with Germany, and declares that if he forgets the 600,000 British soldiers buried in France that the British people wouldn't. The Matin declines to make Britain responsible for the language of her Premier and says that he was entitled not to share French opinion as regards Silesia but could express views in diplomatic notes not in speeches.

London, May 19,

With the exception of the Morning Post, which compares Mr. Lloyd George to a coster, coconut shying on Hampstead Heath, and declares that he is throwing balls of rhetoric at the heads of France and Poland, the newspapers applaud the opportareness and candour of the Premier's statement which has not lost sight of the fact that France has much reason to be suspicious of anything smacking of pro-German sympathy, but they argue that the Premier does not entertain such feelings nor antipathy towards Poland, and, on the contrary, farsightedly seeks to safeguard the future of the whole of Furope ignoring immediate "interests" in favour of principles of justice which are more likely to serve the world of the future. Liberal organs particularly welcome the statement, as marking a depa ter: from war-breeding diplomatic intrigues by substitution of a healthier frankness and publicity, which it is hoped will have the effect of righting the situation which has threatened to become the most critical since 1911.

Bertin, May 19.

The Inter-Allied Military Control Commission in a note demands that Germany immediately take measures to prevent the recruiting disband the detachment already of volunteers for Silesia and to formed.

THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.

London, May 19

Mr. Sastry, the Indian delegate at the Imperial Conference who has arrived in Londen, interviewed by the Manchester Guardian, declared that he was not particularly eptimistic in regard to the Conference. He could not say that round-table discussions on sub- jects of imperial interest led to much improvement of India's status in the Empire which must be raised to equality with the dominions. Otherwise, with regard to the defence of India, he could not be expected to discuss seriously problems of Imperial Defence and Imperial Preference. Mr. Sastri bitterly referred to the exclusion of Indians from Australia and Canada, and declared that South Africa had shown considerable racial préjudice. towards Indian settlers. In view of this position, India would definitely oppose Imperial Preference, for freedom of trade also meant freedom to Jenter another country. So long as this was denied, India would continue to demand a dominion status, Mr. Sastri strongly favoured an Indian navy manned by Indians and controlled from India, and the relatienship thereof to the Imperial Fleet must be carefully dis- cussed. For example, he could net imagine an Indian navy, in the event of war, being ordered to protect Australia which closed its doors against India.

PLEA FOR ANGLO-AMERICAN UNITY.

Sir Auckland Geddes' speech advocated world-wide reduction of armaments and pleaded for Anglo-American co-operation in the interests of the peare of the world, and also an international agree- ment amongst business men, unhampered by Government supervision, in order to extricate the world from the economic slough,

SUPREME COUNCIL'S FORTHCOMING MEETING,

THE OPIUM EVIL.

London, May 19. Commenting on Sir William J. Collins' letter, the Times, dealing with the allegation that China was actively cultivating opium, says it is to be hoped and expected that revolutionary China will show no less care for the interests of her population than her autocracy displayed, and will soon acquire sufficient authority to make that care effective.
