[R. ANTHONY EDEN, the Foreign Secretary, to-day outlined to the Assembly the British view of the lines on which reform of the League should take.

He prefaced his remarks by saying that he would "speak frank

THE gold mine at Portland Heads, Queensland, claims to be the most isolated in the world.

The malt is carried by packhorse from a post office 300 milles away and the ore is carried by the same way miles to the coast, where there is NO anchorage, and it has to be rowed out to a steamer. Staty people live at the

Among the chlet points he made were the followint:

Loudon, Oct. 19.

"I would not have you believe that because we proclaim less than others our faith in democracy we think the less of it and are not prepared to make sacrifices in its defence.

"We shall not allow anyone to wrest our democracy from us.

"Democracy is the epitome of man's endeavours to find freedom. individuality and peace. This does not prevent us realising that other people feel just the same about their own forms of govern- nent. We accept this fully and completely." Mr. Eden at Geneva yesterday.
