LONDON, October B.—Lord Curzon has returned from Paris. He says he hopes that he has arrived at a reasonable arrangement. “There is a good deal of inflammable material! lying about,’’ ho continued, “not only in the European countries, but more particularly in the Near East. Whether wo can reduce that to hamlcssness, it is premature to sajr; but we can onlv settle matters by consolidated action ■ between the Allies.” “Lord Curzon flays that he went to Paris in the face of a rather critical emergency to see,, how far and an what way matters could be directed to a common end, and, without expressing himself too optimistically, lie hoped the chances were favorable. “We mav expect,” he said, “to escape from, what at least at the moment had been a very considerable risk. The future has more to do with the forces on the snot than with what wo can do here. Throughout, onr representatives, diplomatic and military, especially Sir Hora-’e Rumbold and General Harington. have conducted the matter with great discretion, reserve, and common sense.” —A, and N.Z.
