IN a speech delivered before the budget

Kiao-Chou becomes a German pro-

LONDON. April 29.-The Liberal
leader, Sir William Harcourt, arraigned
the weak policy of the MARQUIS of
Salisbury in the far, East, in the house
Of commons this evening, pointing out
the collapse Of his open door" policy,
through Germany obtaining preferen-
tial privileges on the Shan Tung PENN
sula. While Great Britain, he added,
had made an undigniffed retreat in the
Ia Lien Wan affair, Germany and Rus
STA, the speaker commended, had both
scored at the expense Of Great Britain.
The Liberal leader was listened to
by a full house and great interest is
attached to the debate, in view of the
intense dissatisfaction felt at the gov
eminent policy among It's own follow
ers and by the Conservative newspa-
perS.
Mr. Baifour replied. Trade and COM
mercial interests in the province of
Shan Tung were not the cons: derations.
he said, which controlled the govern
ment in taking Wei-Hei-Wei; nor was
the question of the permanent occupa-
ton of Kiao-Chou by Germany a de-
termining factor. Hence he failed to
see any objection to conciliating Ger
man opinion. He believed Wei-Hai-
Wei to be Of 1.-THE utmost value to Eng
land, automatically at Pekin in the
times of peace, and strategically in
times of war;"
The government would not have bsen
justified in going to war over Port Ar
thur, the occupation of which, by the
British, would have been a defiance to
Russia, whereas the occupation of Wei
Hai-Wei by the British could be no
humiliation to Russia and would not
afford reasons for permanently
strained relations. Mr.. Balfour con-
tended that Russia, instead of being
in a better, was in worse position
than she was seven months ago.

the Forest Of Dean. and others spoke.
