PRIME MINISTER
SPEAKS AT GLASGOW

Glasgow, Oct. 26 (By the Associat.
ed Press).-A rousing ovation was
given Prime Minister Bonar Law
when he rose to address an audience
Of 1000 persons in st. Andrews hall
tonight and set forth the principles
upon which his party stood. He de
voted the opening Of his speech to an
explanation Of how he came to re-
sumo the leadership of his party.
This came about, said the prime
minister, when it was realized thai
the coalition was losing ground and
a split in the party was inevitable,
not through intrigues, but owing to
discomfort in the constituencies
throughout the country, which were
clearly determined to terminate the
existing parliament and start afresh
under different conditions.
Bonar Law said he believed it
would have added to the strength of
labor to have set up a party, on the
one hand, representing opinions op-
posed to labor and, on the other, a
party representing labor alone.
Bonar Laws speech largely COW
cred the same grounds as his after
noon speech and his election manifes-
to. He emphasized the urgency Of
a Near Eastern settlement and the
necessity Of showing an intention t,
be equally fair to both Turks and
Greeks. He believed there was no
danger of either Turkey or Greece
declining to accept the decision Of the
peace conference.
The real difficulty in foreign af-
fairs was the reparations question,
but he did not despair Of its solu-
ton; he could not agree that Ger
many was unable to pay anything.
There was no difference in aims as
between England and France in this
question, but only difference in the
means of attaining them. In general
European interest England and
France must remain together
Again insisting on the Importance
of maintaining good relations with
tho United States and bringing the
United States into the league of ma
'tions, thereby strengthening the
league, he said the government did
not desire to make Gallipoli second
Gibralta and expressed the hope that
the treaty with Turkey would enable
'tsfiH HiAAd - slbxtRe y hses tfuUps holhs. :
( He then turned to internal prob
lens and promised that he would OBJ.
serve patience while the Irish govern
ment war trying to carry out the
Anglo-Irish treaty. He believed
fnrthef economies would be effected
by feadjusting the work of the gov
ernment departments and 1t was his
purpose to abolish the ministry of
pensions.
Generally speaking the premier ad-
vocated minimum legislation and
more or less leaving things alone. In
conclusion he reminded his hearers
that whatever government was re-
turned there were bound to be disap-
pointments, but If his party came in
to power they would do their best to
face the inevitable problems.
