She was less likely to listen now that her pride was involved, therefore, our interven tion would be bound to be regarded as hoatile by France. The Goverment desired to strengthen the League of Nations but with America, Germany and Russia outside, what could become of it if the hostility of France and probably of Belgium and Italy was incurred and they denied their written and spoken word?"

The Government is proceeding cautiouily. It is not so much ecnvinced that rubber manufacturers want to develop new sources of supply as to bring pressure on the supporters of the-restriction scheme.
