the government could see its way to
carry into effect the hopes expressed
by Sir Edward Grey, especially in the
direction of an arbitration treaty with
the United States, they would find no
heartier friends Of such a policy than
the Unionist party.
1t is not often that 4 party leader IN
tho House Of Commons secures the
plaudits Of his political opponents, but
Mr. Balfour never has been acclaimed
by those who disagree with him on most
matters az he was on this occasion.
English public opinion is rapiC'y
modifying in favor OF Sir Edward Grey s
policy in support of President Tafts sug-
gestion for 2 treaty of arbitration be-
