VIII Answer Critics
Prime Minister Lloyd George has
announced his intention of replying
publicly at Manchester on Saturday to
the torrent of condemnarory criticism
recently aimed at the near eastern
policy of the government. The sud
den announcement has taken the
lress by surprise and brought general
interest in the domestic political sit
uation to a keener focus than ever.
IL also comedies with increased defi-
niteness in the rumors of an early
breakup of the present coalition.
The improved outlook in the near
east may have opened some inner
sources of information enabling the
political writers to speak with greater
certainty than heretofore; at any rate

pearance of those usually accompany

Russia Wants IN.
(By the Associated Press)
Moscow, oct. 11.-Russia as a world
power must be sreckoned with in the
consideration of all matters bearing
upon her interests such as the free
dom of commercial navigation thru
the Dardanelles, and therefore any
proposition to leave the soviets with
out representation in the first confer
ence proposed by the allies for settle
ment of the near eastern question is
altogether unsatisfa ctory to the Mos
COW government.
In expressing this view, NJ. Tchitch-
erin. soviet foreign minister said:
I'VE are not making threats, and
are not rafting the sword, but we dc
insist upon roper consideration in al
questions relating to the near east
particularly the commercial freedom
of the straits.
Questions in which we have tire
mendous interests will naturally bt
discussed at the first conference and
the Russian government feels i
should be invited to that. as well al
to the one to be held later"
