in hand, before the powers and seeking
IN alliance" adding: 1.-The Chinese

and concert with Russia" He asked
whether it would not have been better
for Mr.. Cham erlain to ''postpone his
insults to Russia" until the talked OF
alliance had been secured.

cheers and Irish Nationalist Kisses, de.
MED that there was any discrepancy
between himself and other members OF
the cabinet.

Repeating the leading features Of his
Birmingham speech, Mr.. Chamberlain
referred to the importance of close
under standing with America, " adding:
"In my opinion, on such matter. the

Irish vote"
But whether England or America, he
said ha honad IL would be found that
blood is thicker than water, and, with.
out desiring to force either nation to
enter into an alliance with which q
majority of both peoples did not thor.
oughly sympathize, he would repeat
his conviction that the closer, the more
defined and the cleaner the alliance be.
tween the United States and England
the better 1t would be for both nations
and for civilization.
Mr.. Chamberlain g speech ended amid
loud cheers from the government
benches.
