BRITISH OPPOSE SURRENDER
OF HUN COLONY POSSESSIONS

London, Oct 24.-In no circum
stances is it consistent with the safety
and unity of the British empire thai
Germany's colonies should be returned
to her, declared A. ]. BalfOur, the
British foreign secretary, in Il speech
at the luncheon of the Australian and
New Zealand club yesterday.
, Mr.. BalfOur said il was absolutely
essential that the communications of
the British empire should remain safe
He asked if the German colonies were
returned what security was there that
their original pOssessors would not
use them as bases for piratical war
fare.
The doctrine that colonies should
not be returned, Mr.. Balfour claimed,
was not selfish and imperialistic. 1t
was one in which the interests of the
world were almost as much concerned
as the interests of the empire itself.
If the empire WAS TO remain united
1t was absolutely necessary that COM
between the various parts
should not be at the mercy of an I'M
scrupulous power.

thoritatively that there would be no
announcement of the presidents de-
cision before today, and the under
standing was that exchanges between
| Washington, London and Paris still
were proceeding.
About midday there was furry of
interest when Secretaries Lansing and
Daniels and General March. chief of
staff, were called to the White house,
but if the decision was communicated
then these officials kept the secret
well.
1t was late last evening when word
was given that Secretary Lansing
would see newspaper men at 8 o'clock,
following a conference between Mr..
Lansing and Secretary ,Tumulty.
How the note is received by the
people of allied countries will be
awaited with the greatest interest. So
far as the allied governments are con-
.cerned, it is assumed that they have
been inforced and are in entire accord
with the eliminating step on the pres
idents policy. Exchanges have been
going on since the wireless version
of the German reply to the president
was picked up Monday.
The official translation into English
made at the Berlin foreign office and
delivered with the German text does
not differ materially in any particular
from the wireless version, and slight
verbal differences in the latter tending |
to make more obscure some rather
vague phrases in the original. may |
have been due to errors in transmits
sion.
