LONDON, Nov. ALI three Allies
gre acting in complete harmony and
nnaninity in the Near East, said Pre-
nier Bonar Law, speaking at the
Guildhali banquet tonight. "There is
only one way at this moment whereby
peace may be secured and trouble in
Europe overcome, and that is for the
Allies who won the war to act to-
gsther," he declared.
Pointing out that it could not bring
Immediate peace, Bonar Law paid
tribute to the League Of Nations, say
ing it had done good work, despite
great handicaps, and that the govern
ments must give it every opportunity.
Coming back to the subject OF the
Allies relations, the Premier declared
there could not be unity in one part
Of the diplomatic field and discord in
another That was as strongly felt in
Paris and Rome as in London, he said.
Leniency to Germany
Referring to the charge that England
had been too lenicnt toward Germany
on the question of reparations, due to
selfish interests, he conceded that Eng
land depended more than any other ma
tea on foreign trade, and, therefore,
The recovery of the German trade
might be regarded as selfish interest.
But he pointed out that this recovery
Of German trade would be quite as
useful TO France as to England, and
that the view that England was too
lenient ss regards reparations was "a
complete delusion."
The Premier said he disagreed with
af.I u. II III
TO where the country was going and
that he believed things were getting
better rather than worse. As he looked
to the future Bonar Law said he felt
complete confidence. Referring to the
election he said all parties were fight
ing the labor party, but none of them
Eas asRhting labor, for if they did none
Of item would be returned.
Former Premier Lloyd George began
bis whirlwind campaign in Wales to-
dsy speaking in many towns from his
tain. American fashion, to large
crowds. He continued his attacks on
lae Bonar Law government collectively
md individually, singing out Lord
Curzon for several hard raps. Indi4
rectly he attributed the collapse Of
Continental exchanges and the crisis
In the Near East to the political ma
neuver which brought about the fall
OF his government.
Lloyd George Sees Weakness
"The moment the late government
had gone the Turk reached the con-
elusion he was dealing with something
weaker" said Lloyd George at Bridge
End Lord Curzor has not won great
repute for frmness. That is not his
special quality"
In every part of the British Isles
from Aberdeen to Brighton, large po-
litcol meetings we're held to-day, with
sll the chief candidates on the stump.
Dispatches from Constantinople to-day
somewhat relieved the anxiety, but the
situation was still so grave that most
Of the statesmen confined their COM
ments to local issues.
Some. government opposition organs
called attention to the American elec-
tion, trying to draw parallel between
Hardng's normalcy and Bonar Laws
tranquility program, but most of them
consider the tariff and prohibition as
the real factors in the surprising over
turn,
In local constituencies and especially
In the East End, Conservative candi-
dates had great difficulty in preserv-
ing. order N their meetings, as appar-
emily organized bands of hoodluns at
tempted to drown the speeches with
.''ti EVlse. SONle tltieQ Hue1HDelS VI
tae government were hecked severely
IN connection with their property hold
ings.
The Asquith Liberals in the opinion
Of most unprejudiced judges have
made the most progress since the cam
paign opened. while Labor has suffered
setback largely because of it's advo-
cacy of capital levy on all fortunes
q more than e5 900. The Conserva-
yves are just about where they start
ed out; the Georgians lost ground
tnrough their failure to make deal
Win any other party. The opponents
q Labor are beginning to feel that
through their efforts to kill each
oener off they will let many Laborites
INTO Parliament About the only sem
sation the forthcoming election could
pfoduce would be Labor majority.
