BRITAIN'S FOREIGN AND COLONIAL POLICY.
Received 14, 5.14 p.m. LONDON, December 13. Lord Lansdowne, Secretary of State for foreign Affairs, in his speech 'at the Carlton Club, said that Italy had given Britain indispensable facilities for operations against the Mullah .in Somlaliland. Britain must maintain her invincibility at sea, the burden of bearing the naval expenditure being borne in a good cause, and Japan was now partner. He did not agree that the Imperial Conference produced small results, as the frank interchange of ideas had paved, the way for a future agreement, before many years elapsed, on commercial, naval, military, and financial questions of vital* importance to the Motherland and her dependencies. Although it was untrue that all the Anglo-French questions were settled, the wind was blowing in the right? direction.
