Full agreement 1cith Er-Pre-
mier SayOnU Indicated.

Toxic. Nov. "a conference between
Premier Marquis Katsura and EXPIRE
mier Marquis Sayonji held recently was
ostensibly for the purpose of making assur-
ance more assured that the death OF Prince
Ito would cause no change in the policy OF
Japan, either at home or abroad. Marquis
Sayonji IS at present the leader of the
over all others. and therefore the represent
ative Of probable policies in the coming
session.
semi-Offlcial report OF this conference
organ of the Premier the "Kokumn Shinl-
bun." states that full agreement between
the two statesmen was reached. and that
the policy outlined by Marquis katsura
during his term of Office for the last two
years-namely. peaceful development of
japanese resources and increasing friend
ship with foreign countries-was adopted
as the slogan of the Seiyukai for the COM
ing Diet.
Popular misconception since the death OF
Prince Ito has made of Marquis Katsura a
militarist. anxious to plunge Japan into
war. Nothing could be further from the
truth. Marquis katsuTa is an earnest ad-
vocate OF peace and his whole course since
he assumed the premiership has been
shaped with view TO increasing the friend
ly relations of Japan with the outside world.
and more especially with China.

OF course. there will be appeals to the
Appellate Division. which will act as stays.
So when Mr.. McAneny takes office he will
be handicapped In filling the two Offices
by the possibility that the higher courts
will uphold the verdicts Of the Supreme
Court restoring Walker and Collins TO their

Austen Chamberlain. ex-Chancellor of
the Exchequer. at a meeting OF his own
constituents at Bromsgrove tonight was
compelled to resume his seat before he
had half finished his speech on account
Of constant and noisy interruptions.
For twenty minutes he vainly essayed
to resume his address and then was
obliged To desist and the meeting broke
up i'm disorder. Similar heckling. jeering
and disorder are the common experience
of the Unionlst peers who venture to
address meetings
Chancellor Lloyd-GeOrge addressed a
great Free Church demonstration in
Queens Hall tonight. where the utmost
enthusiasm prevailed He complained
that NOnconformity had no free access
TO or champion in the House of Lords.
On arriving at the hall the Chancellor
had remarkable experience. Two suf-
fragettes approached his car. One
jumped I'm and the other locked the door
and stood on the fOotboard. while the
car proceeded TO the side entrance of the
building. The woman within upbraided
and shook the Chancellor. who merely
smiled. The crowd resented this action
and handled the two Suffragettes roughly.
Joseph Chamberlain. who again has
been selected as a candidate for the
House Of Commons by his Birmingham
constituency. has written the preface OF
a political pamphlet. in which he strong
ly supports the position of the House of
Lords in rejecting the budget. He de-
clares that. uncontrolled. the House of
Commons would be a great public dam

the only alternative Of the budget AS

preface adopts the following: Abolition
