 LONDON. May 5.-While the entire tendency of British govern nent is toward democracy. and if the Conservatives are to be listened to the country Is rushing into soctal- ism, one exception to this rule is charged against the Asquith govern ment. In the field of foreign affairs Sir Edward Grey manages to stem the tide and even to push back ths hands of the clock. Complaint is raised in parliament that the foreigs office takes legislators and the pub lie into its confidence in an increas- ingly smaller measure. Even mem bers of his own party are joining the insurgents against the Grey regime.
 The basis of complaint is that the foreign minister, with the cabinet of course, commits the country to the most momentous policies which may even involve war, without con sulting the representatives of the people. The Anglo-Japanese alliance is cited as an example. The com plaint Is made also that Sir Edward Grey does not appear in parliament as often as bis pTedec5E sors did to discuss foreign affairs, and is more secretive in his attitude toward questions. Suggestions are heard for some sort of legislative group cor responding to the foreign relations committee in the American houses of congress, which shall practically share with the cabinet the knowledge If not the shaping Of foreign policies.
 Ir N5fn hn r1~ h4 American arbitration treaty Sir Ed ward Grey took an opposite course. He not only explained the situation to the country, but invited expres- sions of opinion. There is no doubt that the negotiations going on at Washington would be shelved If the country had replied unfavorably to his memorial speech. Another de- parture from the path of secrecy will be made in favor of the colonies. If the imperial dominions over sea are to contribute ships and men for defence of the empire they must know imperial questions, say their spokesmen- The government recog- nizes the reasonableness of this claim. In the future it proposes not only to reveal some of the secrets of international affairs and of d. plomacy to the governors of self governing colonies, but even to con suit them in the making of treaties and framing lines of action and pol icy. The approaching imperial con ference furnishes the first opportun- lty. There will be a mutual search ing of heart on imperial interests as they rub elbows with each oth- CT nation. heretofore denied to cO- lonial statesmen.
 The interest and mild surprise oc- casioned abroad by the ban placed by the present court on all skirts cut closely to the figure, suggests that the great influence which th7 king and queen may exert over clA1 life and society is not generally Ea- derstood.
