The Egyptians succeeded in getting support for a protest against

the suppression of Parliamentary Govern- ment, and their King and his Ministers will doubtless hear of it. The German Chancellor made an excellent speech of warm welcome and of hope that all future international difficulties should be discussed, as are domestic Parliamentary differences, " in the arena of intellectual conflicts." Another speaker, referring to the losses of the Union by death, coupled two names that go oddly together if their owners' lives are compared, Sir James Agg-Gardner and M. Stephen Raditeh. Dr. David, formerly Reichs Minister for the Interior, put forward the unanswerable plea that the disarmament of Germany was to be the first step towards a general disarmament which has failed to follow. From these conferences Europe will now pass to the Council Meeting of the League. * *
