London, April 12. V Arbitration will be utilised to set« tie the indemnity due to the Frenchmen engaged in fishing and canning on the treaty shore of Newfoundland. They will be compelled, owing to the present agreement, to relinquish the industry and their establishments. British concessions to France, northward of Sokoto, in Africa, consist of 8000 square miles, chiefly de- i sert. The agreement provides for the least possible disturbance of existing conditions in the various countries included in the arrangements. j The Russian Ambassador to I France, in an interview, eulogised | the settlement of questions relating | to Egypt and Morocco, and added | that Russia is delighted, as an ally., at the fresh guarantee of strength and security accruing to France. Moreover, a proverb says, "A friend's friends are our friends." Who knows whether the proverb may not be verified afresh?
