He added, however, that the Bishops desired to dissociate the protest from the 'pofitleaf issues which had been, made.'

A.

They felt that the force of their protest in the nine of religion and humanity well be greater if it could not be regarded as part of any political movement..

Constitutional Position,

Lord Parmoor, replying for the Government, suld he would not seek to deny the great importance of the question. It raised, how- ever, points of great difficulty and responsibility.

,

He agreed with the Archbishop' of Canterbury that it was our duty to inquire into the accuracy of the statements which had been made. The primary difficulty from a palitient stridpoint was that while we stood for religious liberty and against religious per- secution, we had to consider the mitter from a constitutional posi- Lion and allow in other countries the same herty in matters of in- ternal and domestic policy that wở claimed for ourselves.

No Interference Treaty,

It had been made the basis of any. agreement which might be made' between Russia and ourselves that we should not interest oumelyes în domestic matters of internal or

concern.

The Government, in common

with all parties in this country. were fundamentally opposed to any form of religious persecution and they desired to promote by every legitimate means the sacred cause of freedom for all-forms, of religious thought and action, but we must be very careful in what we did, so that in the result we did not do injury by increasing the persecution of the very pernoris whom we desired to protect.

Lord Parmoor added that the Foreign Secretary would do all he could in the matter and he read a statement made by Mr. Henderson on the subject In the House of Commona. 4

"This Horror"!

Lord Parmoor, said it was ex- tremely difficult to got authentie Information but he gave an assur- ance that Mr. Henderson would do. his utmost to get this horror mitigated.

Cables have been sent to Marshal Yen Hai-shan asking him to send representatives to Nanking to confer with Marshal Chiang Kai-shek.

Hostilities Threaten.

Peking, Feb. 13.

Kaye Don's attempt will be made over the, same course. He will will arrive with his "hush-hush"

car at Daytona on March 1 and will make the attempt between the 15th and 30th of the month.

The motor-car which. Mr. Kaye) Don will drive is still shrouded in a good deal of mystery. It has been built by the Sunbeam Com-

any at a cost of about £25,000.

Enormous Power,

It is a machine of 5,000 horse-

Power as compared with the 1,000 horse-power of

Henry Segrave's "Golden Arrow" and as a potential speed in excess of 280 miles an hour.

The maximum speed of tho Golden Arrow was estimated to be 280 miles an hour. The new, car was definitely designed to be capable of a much higher speed,,

The Story of the Attempt,

·Two men sat opposite each other at a secret meeting at an office in Paris, One was Mr. Louls Coatalon, the famous motorcar designer and a director of the Sun- beam Motor Car Company, of Wolverhampton.

The other was Mr. Kaye Don, one of. Britain's most fearless and skilled drivers. He examined: the "drawings in-

ENGLAND-AUSTRALIA “AIR ROUTES.

COMMONWEALTH GOVERN- MENT ATTITUDE.

Canberra, Feb. II" Referring to a statement that the British Air Ministry is eagerly awaiting an announcement from to the Australia with regard establishment of an air roule be- tween Singapore and Port Darwin, Mr. Scullin, the Prime Minister, said that although the British Government seemed to have as sumed that the Commonwealth was ready subsidise such a link In

the England-Australia air route, actually no definite commit- mert had been made.

The Commonwealth Government, he said, was awaiting a report by certain officers now in Britain, and would also like information about the stipulations of the Imperial Airways with regard to auxiliary services and surcharge receipts Renter..

It is, however, more of a de fence than an nitack. The deci Hion followed definite news' from New York that the United States intended to make an attempt to lower the British world's record.

Following Mr. Kaye - Don's decision, the drawings for the now motor-car were despatched from Paris to Wolverhampton by a speclul courier, and the work of turning the paper motor-car into a live creation began at once in a secret corner of the great works.

There are certain facts, how ever, that have been disclosed,

It is the most costly motor-car ever built.

The sum set aside for the pur pose was £26,000.

It is also the most powerful-Sir Henry Segrave's motor-car, the Golden Arrow, had an engine of 1,000-hp, but the new car is of 5,000-hp
