DOINGS OF THE DUFFS

The French at Hoechst have made another big haul of money amounting to ten milliard marks and four hundred thousand francs, This, it is supposed, was being despatched in support of German resistance in the Ruhr.

Paris, March 31.

Voicing the sentiments of many Frenchmen who believe that definite prolongation of French control in the Rubrantamount to annexation and therefore dangerous, the well-known sociologist M. Georges Barnich publishes a book under the auspices of Senators De Jouvenel and De Merzie explaining a new plan of making Germany pay. It declares that Germany should be informed' im mediately that France is prepared to reduce her claims and suggests that Germany is able to increase her offer of reparations in kind by making deliveries to the value of seventy-five millions arking in the next five years. Germany could also raise a loan of the ame amount this year to be destined for the Allies, the receipts of the Customs being assigned to the service of the loan and controlled by the League of Nations.

Berlin, March 31.

The Ministry of Finance announces that the total subscriptions to the Dollar Treasury Loan of two hundred million marks is not yet known, but half the amount guaranteed by the banks has been sub- scribed by the public. The barks must therefore make a good margin." The Ministry is satisfied and says the Reichsbank will use the money in support of the currency on a considerably broader basis than hitherto, It is estimated that the public has only subscribed fifty million gold. marks, which the press regards as disappointing They point out that unless the mark is stabilized resistance in the Ruhr eat of be main- tained.

FUTURE OF EGYPT.

London, March 31, Additional interest has been lent to the action of the Government in ordering the release of the Egyptian Nationalist leader Zaghlul in. view of the fact that nearly one hundred members of the House of Commons, mostly Labourites, issued a manifesto on Thursday urging a new policy in Egypt and the release of Zaghiul as calculated to lead to a permanent settlement.

Diplomatic correspondents in London emphasise the fact that ex- Premier Zaghiul being allowed to take the cure, at Towi implies that he will be permitted to return to Egypt. The British Government has not changed its attitude, and there must be good and sound conditions in Egypt, whose Government must pass the Indemnity Bill before Zaghlol is allowed to return. At Cairo the news of Zaghlul's release has been welcomed with the greatest joy. It was published by all the papers in special editions.

Cairn, March 31.

The Premier has told pressmen that the release of Zagfilul was approved by Lord Allenby on the 22nd March, and is therefore uli- connected in anyway with the subsequently published manifesto of members of the House of Commons, but is greatly due to Lord Allenby bimself. The Premier added that hitherto no decision has been reached regarding the deportees in the Seychelles, but the Egyptian Govern- ment did not despair of a satisfactory result of their representations in the near future.

THE LANSING-ISHII AGREEMENT

Washington, March 30.

The cancellation of the Lansing-lahi agreement is regarded as placing the diplomatic affairs of the United States in a more favour- able position in the Far East than at any time since questions began to arise between the United States and Japan.

¿".

The negotiations have resulted in a new understanding on the basis of the Washington Nine Power Treaty.

THE BOXER INDEMNITY.

London, April 1. . The question of how to use the British portion of the Boxer Indemnity is discussed in an article published by the Observer, which advocates the establishment of a Central Education Commission at Shanghai or Peking to administer funds in touch with local or provincial education committees at the chief centres in China. Foreigners and Chincze should sit in equal numbera," With equal powers, on all these bodies. The Central Commission would make grants to universities and allocate sums to local committees which, within the limits laid down by the Central Commission, would be free to subsidise such schools and institutions in their ares as they judged needed help. The writer advocates gathering the institutions established sporadically and not co-ordinatedly by British Missions and other bodies, into a system of parallel grading to the Chinese national system and working each with the declared object of its ultimate absorbment, therein.
