Commodities and cocoa were weak in sympathy with New York Lord Cranborne, for the Govern-Renter's Special. men, said the United Kingdom re presentative had taken the Initiative in this direction at a meeting of the Council of the Committee for Collu- boration between the League and China. Out of the 2,000,000 Swiss francs relief funds, 37,000 would be suppiled from China's subscription to the League, which would other wise have gone to the League's ordinary budget. This was China's contribution, and he had no reason to believe there would be any undue delay in expediting the sending of medical aid.

Asked by Col. J. C. Wedgwood (Lab.) why this had been reserved for epidemic relief, Lord Cranborne replied that the amount was limited and it was thought it would be most usefully applied for that purpose. Reuter,
