REPLY BY EARL STANHOPE
LONDON, May 25. Earl Stanhope, replying, in the House of Lords to Lord Snowden's speech complaining about a lack of policy for the World Conference, said that ho regretted Lord Snowden's attack on his old friend vind colleague, Mr. Mac Donald. "We on the; Govern - incnt benches show no sort of hostility to Lord Snowden," he said. "I hope the attack on Mr. Mac Donald is. only a temporary effervescence, ,iust as Lord, Snowden himself had to do before the Hague Conference." Earl' Stanhope said that he could only reply to Lord Snowden's request in general terms. The Conference would begin with great disadvantages. Its work had been carefully prepared by the Preparatory Committee and by Mr. Eoosevelt's interviews with representatives 'of various countries. The Government had been in touch with America and Trance in order to try to thresh out' something \vh ich could be settled at the Conference. The situation in the world' was so critical that Governments would be compelled to overcome the difficulties which tlie previous conference had found insuperable. . ■
