BRITISH PREMIER.
SPEECH AT ABERDEEN. EFFICACY OF THE LEAGUE. LONDON, Nov. 5. Mr Baldwin, in a speech at Aberdeen, referred to the part of the Locarno treaty in securing the peace of Europe and said the efficacy of the League was exemplified in the settlement of the Graeco-Bulgarian dispute. In an allusion to Syria lie said lie observed in some quarters a demand that he should pass summary judgment on the conduct of tho Allies in their mandated territories. “Our growing sensibility of wrong, wherever it is committed, is a good tiling,” he said, “but censure should lie tempered with remembrance of our own shortcomings and a full sense of the difficulty of the task imposed on tlie Great Powers by tlie mandatory system.” Li referring to tlie Government’s determination to make every economy, however unpopular, lie said it could not economise to a point which would reduce tlie defensive forces below what it believed was necessary to tlie safety of the Empire.—A. and N.Z. cable.
