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 that
Germany's colonies should be returned
to her, declared A. ]. BalfOur, the
British foreign secretary, in speech
at the luncheon of the Australian and
New Zealand club yesterday.
Mr.. Bafour said it 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 rs bases for piratical war
fare.
The doctrine that colonies should
not be returned, Mr.. Balfour claimed,
was not selfish and imperiaistic. 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
| munication between the various parts
should not be at the mercy of an UNI
scrupulous power.

reinforce a British marine detachment
sent ashore several weeks ago.
The entente allied troops are cooper

the Nourman coast and the railway
against attacks that are being made by
Finnish white guards.
Troops Act in Harmony.

FINNISH white guards have attacked the
Mourman railway near KEN, 27O miles
south Of Mourmansk and 200 miles west
OF Archangei, but have been repulsed by
me entente forces. The bolshevik and
Foreign troops are acting in harmony and
residents along the White sea coast ap-
preciate that the entente allied assist
ance is saving the district from isolation
and domination by the white guard.
First Report of Landing.
No previous mention of the fact
ashore In northern Russia to cooperate
with the Russian bolshevik troops has
peen permitted by the censor. Recently
Japanese and British marines were
landed at Vladivostok. the Pacific port
or Russia, but this step was against the
wishes of the Russian bolshevik gov
eminent.
The British and French troops which
have landed to reinforce the British
marines are protecting the railroads
from the interior of Russia to the two
main sea outlets in the north-the ports
of Mourmansk and Archangel. At both
these bases large quantities Of supplies,
some OF which had been shipped from

Pacific ocean from American ports
In attacking the Russian railroad
near KEN, on the west coast of the
White sea, the Finnish white guard,
which recently has received the sup
port of the German authorities, must
have pushed across the Finnish border
and penetrated Russian territory for a
distance OF $50 miles in their EFFORTS to
sever communication by rail with Mour-
mansk. Archangel is situated on the
east coast OF the White sea, $50 miles
east of KEN.
