NEWS OF THE WEEK.

TT is a satisfaction to know from Mr. Lloyd George's speech

in the House of Commons on Wednesday that he is deter- mined to keep the peace all over the world if he can possibly do se. That is the only sound policy, and if he will consistently stick to it he will certainly have the support of the nation. On looking back, we are bound to say that time has brought its revenges, and that Mr. Lloyd George's earlier attempts at negotiations with Russia, dating beck to the Prinkipo proposal, unpopular though they were at the time, are now seen to be not merely the only available, but the only possible, policy.
