HALDANE

PARTNERS IN CIVILISATION

(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) (Received 11, 8.4 a.m.) London, December 10.

In a speecli Lord Haldanes said he was hopeful of the future relations witu Germany. We wished to see her develop as large a trade as possible. The greater her trade the more would we trade with her. We wished to see her have a full place in the sun and expand her trade and terri'/ny in every legitimate direction. Others’ rights, naturally, must Ibe respected. He added that nothing better was conceivable than Britain and Germany working side by side in raising the level of the less civilised parts of the globe. SCANDALOUS CONDUCT OF THE PRESS EXPOSED. TIMID CONSERVATIVES. London, December 9. The Times’ Berlin correspondent mentions the scandalous conduct of several newspapers in publishing a Leipzig telegram alleging that Schultz’s absolutely secret trial disclosed an elaborate scheme cf tiie British Admiralty to.collect the details of German warships, with the object of arousing Anglophobism at the elections.

Another correspondent states that the Conservatives do not 1 dare to conspicuously advocate an increase in the navy, owing to the popular feeling.
