LONDON, NOV, 28..

AFTER MR. WINSTON CHURCHILL'S VIVID DESCRIPTION Of GermanY'S PRE- PAREDNESS AND BRITAIN'S UNPREPARED- NESS, MR. STANLEY BALDWIN GAVE A CLIMAX TO THE DEBATE ON IMPERIAL DEFENCE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS TO-DAY BY MAKING AN IMPLICIT APPEAL TO GERMANY TO RETURN TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS AND TO THE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE.

"THE GOVERNMENT IS DETERMINED UNDER NO CONDITIONS TO ACCEPT A POSITION OF INFERIORITY IN RELATION TO ANY FORCE GERMANY MAY RAISE IN THE FUTURE.” DECLARED THE LORD PRESI- DENT OF THE COUNCIL WARMLY.

"As long as Germany sits by herself, having no direct communication with other states in Europe, more and more will suspicion grow, and, maybe, more and more Germany's troubles will grow," Mr. Baldwin warned.

Mr. Baldwin indicated that the four-year air ex-

London, Nov, 28.

China's integrity must be respected, both in spirit and in letter, declared Mr. Lloyd George, former Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Party, when he made. his first speech for over a year in the House of Commons to-day.

He said Britain must realize Japan's difficulty in discovering new markets for her growing industries, but urged co-operation instead of competition.

Japan, he said, was entitled to equal but not pre- ferential treatment in the Far East.
