LORD CURZON'S VIEWS.

OUTLOOK HOPEFUL.

Received Oct/ 9, 1.40 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 8. Lord Ourzon, who has returned, says !• hopes that he has. arrived at a reasonable arrangement. There is a good deal of inflammable material lying about, not only in European countries, but more particularly m the Near East. Whether we can reduce that to harnilessness it is premature to say, but we can only settle matters by consolidated action" between the Allies. Lord Curzon says he went to Paris in the face ot rather a critical emergency to see how far and in. what way matters could be directed to a common end, and, without expressing himself too optimistically, he hoped the chajices were favourable and that we may expect to escape from what, at least at the moment, had been a very considerable risk. The future has more- to do with forces on the spot t-han with what *ye can do here: Throughout our representatives, diplomatic and military, especially Sir H. G. N. Rumbold and General Harington, have conducted the matter with great discretion, reserve, and commonsense.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
