THE GENEVA PROTOCOL.

Melbourne, Dec. 12.

Hon. Mr. Bruce has cabled to Lt.-Colonel Amery asking if reports of Sir Esme Howard's speech at New York, supporting the Geneva Protocol, were correct-Router.

Sir Esme Howard in a speech at the banquet of the English- | Speaking Union at New York frankly discussed the Geneva Protocol and intimated that Britain might go farther in co-operation with other European Powers or than the United States wonth wish to go. in order to bring about, a condition of eenfidence leading up to dis- armament and peace, but that'" this should not be construed as im- plying any possibility of a clash between the two great English- speaking Powers, which possibility the other nations of the world must really learn to consider, na we already consider it, as one thing we will neither admit nor endure."

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN IN ROME.

Rome, Dec. 12.

Prior to leaving Rome Mr. Austen Chamberlain sent a message to Reuter's special correspondent, saying he was profoundly moved at the graelous reception given him by high personages, and the cordial welcome by M. Mussolini and his Government, as well as the great kindness shown him in every hand. His sympathy for Italy had strengthened his respect for the League of Nations and his confidence' in its future had increased. His conversations with M. Mussolini and M. Herriot wore conducted in the spirit of the League. They attempted no ready-made solution, of great problems which only time, patience and goodwill could resolve, but sought to develop points of agreement and to remove difficulties so that the three nations might retain in time of peace the close friendship. and perfect understanding which had united them in war-Reuters
