A MILITARY HOLIDAY.

Geros. ay 19. The Plenary Session of the Conference adopted a resolution embodying a temporary Non-aggression Pict. The Russians and a few miner States repeated their reservations M. Barthous declared he had recommended the Pact's adoption to his Government.

M. Chicherin requested that an international body, not the League of Nations, be entrusted with the treatment of the sanitary questions of Europe.

Mr. Lloyd George's final speech was loudly cheared.

M. Barthou criticised both the Germans and Russiaca, pointing out to the former that in 1914 France did not want war. To-day again she wanted peace.

Mr. Lloyd George said the Conference was the mest, remarkable in history and would remain for ever an inspiring landmark on the pathway of universal peace, slthough they had not progressed as far as the most sanguine expected. He warned the Soviet representa- Eves that when they came to the Hague they must met go out of their way to trample upon the principles which were our very lite- blood, namely full recognition of obligations. Russia, if she wanted maney, must accept the code of honour which had descended to us through generations. If the Russian Memorandum was the last word from Russia he would despair of sccomplishing anything at the Hague. The Non-Aggression Pact was only provisioral, but once it was established the nations would not go back. Its psychological and international effect would be electrical.

A considerable part of Mr. Lloyd George's finely worded speech. which was listened to with almost reverential silence through:ut. was devoted to summing up what the Conference had, accomplished and also to plain speaking to the Russians. In the former connec tion he opened by saying that the Pesce Pact and the reports and recommendations of the Finance, Economic and Transport Commis alons alone justified the existence of the Conference. although atten- He was fastened on the controversial issues. ln claiming that ronaldarable progress, had been made towards the solution of a pre- dominantly exciting problem. he uttered a warning that whatever the affect of the Russian Memorandum of May 11th had been in Russia the effect outside had been disastrous and had produced a react against the spirit of settlement. He declared that if Russin cet essential help, she must not outrage what the Russians might describe as the "prejudices" entertained in Western Europe ( connection with hopearing financial obligations.

THE OPIUM PROBLEM.

London. Mar 20.

Sir John Jordan, interviewed by the Maurhester Gourlian, said that he was greatly disappointed at the report that the Council of the League of Nations had reserved for private consideration the This will mesa report with regurdt. the cultivation of the poppy. that the question will be referred back to a Commission and another year's delay. Till the question of cultivation and manufacture was tackled whole-heartedly, it was not much good imposing systems of importation certificates, and other measures, through which illicit drug merchants could drive a coart and four. The attitude of all Governments seemed to be that charity begins at home, and, as long w their own citizens were more or less protected, the world-wide jspect of the problem diri not seem to engage much attention. Chat Hsinchu had stated that he had cabled the Chinese Government vere strongly urging them to reinvestigate the question of the re- "rudescence of pappy-growing and to invite Chambers of Commerce. educational bodies and the Anti-Opium Association to participate. He had also urged strong public anti-spium preparanda, in which the student clase would give the greatest aid,
