GOVERNMENTS POLICY ATTACKED.
Mr.. Balfour Replies to Liberal Structures
in House of Commons.

q London, August 10.-During the debate
on the appropriation bill in the House
of Commons today, Sir Charles DllEe
opened an attack upon the government
foreign policy, especially in the far East.
The Liberal leader in the House, Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, followed in
the same strain.
The government leader, Mr. A. j. Bal
four, replying to the last speaker, said
he regretted the absence of the parlla-
mentary secretary for the foreign office.
Mr.. George N. Curzon, on account OF in
disposition, adding especially as it would
have been the last occasion for him to
address the House of foreign affairs, a
subject upon which he has made SO
great and deserved a reputation. -
(Cheers)
Mr.. Balfour then announced Mr..
Curzon's acceptance OF the vice royalty
of India, in succession to the Earl OF
Elgin.
. Regarding Shan Tung, Mr.. Balfour
said:
1--WE must treat Germany as we expect
her to treat us. -
Referring to Russia, Mr.. Balfour said
he saw no necessity for taking pes
simistic view of the situation and he
would be surprised if the British COLI
cessionaires did not get their full share.
MIR. 5alfour's speech appears to have
been intended as statement OF the
governments policy in China which the
opposition has been demanding before the
close of parliament.
Mr. Baltour said it could not be pre-
tended that the British empire could
prevent the legitimate Development of
other commercial and military empires.
Though we may not anticipate main
tanning our old relative superiority In
China. it is expected that the volume OF
British trade will increase as rapidly in
the future as in the past. The question
of equal facilities of trade is distinct
from the Question of concessions.
