Sir Edward Grey addressed a meeting convened by the City
of London United Liberal Association at Cannon Street Hotel yesterday week, and dealt at length with the attitude of the Liberal party towards foreign policy. Rumours of change were industriously circulated, both by Conservatives for electioneering purposes, and also in quarters " outside the country altogether," where for interested reasons it was hoped the return of the Liberals would result in the revision of our present relations with foreign Powers. Sir Edward Grey declared that, in his opinion, there was no foundation what- ever for such suspicions. The three cardinal features of British policy at the present moment were the growing friend- ship and good feeling between ourselves and the United States, the Alliance between Great Britain and Japan, and the Agree- ment with France, not one of which did the Liberal party wish to see changed.
