NO CHANCE EXPECTED CHIEF TASK AT HOME. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, January 23. Berlin does not expect Mr Macdonald greatly to change British foreign policy. “It is thought," says the Betfin correspondent of “The Times,” “that his chief task will lie in the realm of Home affairs. The public are warned against the delusion that the Labour Party will give precedence to any but British interests. “Nevertheless, some hope* are held out that tlie Labour Government will take a stronger line regarding reparations. “The Democratic and Socialist newspapers, for instance, suggest that stops for a general liquidation of the war’s aftermath may be taken by Mr Macdonald along new lines, perhaps, through the medium of the League of Nations or a congress, where Germany will appear on terms of equality with Britain and France. “The retention of the naval pro gramme even in the interest of employment caused a gasp of astonishment. It is accepted as evidence that noth ing very revolutionary must be expect ed from British Labour.”
