tends to play socialist, but directly the
war is over he will go back TO indi-
vidualism.
"People with property may find
themselves without property" he said.
'"The state may have TO turn farmer
and butcher n few months later, and
things win be better, but there will be
n testing time. and the test will be APP
piled to the stomach OF the English
man-applied sharply"
Lord Rhondda spoke Of the real
difficulty which the rationers never
seem to consider, the difficulty of get
ting things wherewith TO ration 40,-
100000 people there and the not In
considerable millions who represent
the allies. The food wanted by man

an army TO Nladiyostok, he said he had
absolute faith in Jspan's loyalty in
carrying out any decision reached by the
