The prime minister's speech not
only was reply to the German peace
note, but also outlined the whole
policy of the new national govern
ment, the trend of which may be
roughly described that the new min
istry is avowedly in power for the
definite object Of carrying on the
war with all the vigor the nation can
command to a successful end.
Today's news from government cir
cles included the announcement OF
the departure Of Mr.. Balfour. the sec-
retary for foreign AFFAIRS, for thrss
weeks vacation. Although his vaca-
tion comes at an important junction.
the organization Of the foreign offices
allows affairs to proceed uninterrupt-
edly under the direction of Lord
Robert Cecil and Baron Harding. ths
under secretaries, while the larger
questions of general policy doubtless
will receive the attention OF the war
council, over which the prime min
lister presides. Lords CurzoA and
Miner also being members with Wide
diplomatic experience.
1t Isl recalled that Mr.. Balfour's
designation as foreign minister mat
with severe criticism from the North
cliEe's press, and Lord Northcliffs
himself urged Mr.. Lloyd George to
follow the precedence of Lord Saliss
bury in directing foreign Affaifs q
well as assuming the premiership.
While Mr. Balfour's absence Il said
to be due to indisposition following
illness, and there is no suggestion
Of its being prolonged beyond three
weeks, yet 1t has the effect OF leGyjns
the shaping Of the larger policies re-
garding the German note and Utlar
foreign issues largely in the hands 0f
the premier.
