address praying that her majesty direct COM
munications so be made by the foreign secre-
tary with other powers, with view to a mu
tual and simultaneous reduction.

whether the means he recommended would
lead to any practical result.
Leonard HI. Courtney OiberaD suggested
the adoption of resolution that it is the duty
of the government, when circumstances will
permit, to recommend to foreign governments
a reduction of European ornaments.

firming proposition not susceptible of immes
date application, but he would not stand in
the way.
Richards withdrew his amendment and
Courtney's resolution was carried.
