London.
Nov. 9th.—After having presi-
ded today
over
the Cabinet Council which
failed arrive at to any decision concerning
the
date
for
general
elections,
Mr Bal-
dwin,
with
several
of
his
ministers
to-
nizht.
was
the guest
of the
Lord-Mavor
of London
at
a banquet
in
the
Guiidhali,
in celebration of Lord Mayors day.
The
banquet
was characterized
by all the
tra-
ditional ceremonial and
was
attended
by
members
of the diplomatic corps and
per-
sons
from all
branches
of society.
Tae
speech
of Mr.
Baldwin
was
devoted
largely
to foreign
affairs,
He referred
with
great
satisfaction
to
the
work of
the Imperial
Conference
which,
he said,
had
dealt
with
a number
of important
questions,
including the Washington
con-
ventions,
the
Far
East,
the
League
of
Nations.
and the present
situation
on the
continent.
With regard
to defence,
Mr.
Baldwin said
the
conference
had
draws
up a number
of guiding
L.nciples,
and
the
Premiers
had
decidea
that
they
would
always
be
prepared
to consider,
in coneert
with other peoples,
what
pos-
sibility there
was of a further
limitation
of
armamen‘'s.
The
Premier
declared
the
Government
hailed
with
particular
catisfaction
the signal
of
renewed
will-
ingness
on the part of the
United
States
Government
to
cooperate
with
Europe,
in the task of meeting the
present
situa-
tion' (at the time of his
speech
the
Pre-
mier had not learned of the
Washington
Government
not
to participate
ian
the
proposed
reparations
conference).
This
cooperation
did not iuvolve
in
the
opin-
ion of the
Government,
any
attempt
to
drag
the
United
States
into European
entanglements,
or to make
that
Country
the
arbiter of European
fortunes.
The
United States
would
emphatically
repu-
diate either
interpretation,
but
her
in-
terests
in the economic
recovery
of
Eu-
rope,
in which she
must
inevitably
play
a considerable
part,
was
not
less
than
that of Great Britain and
she
was
capa-
ble.
by
reason
of
her
detachmer#,
of
forming judgements
which would
be
re-
q)w)ized and accepted
by
all.
Continu-
g, Mr. Baldwin said it
was
too early
to say
whether the efforts
to
promote
a
reparations
conference.
w;jould
succeed,

and it would
be
premature
to
hazard
a
ouess
as
to
the
particular
form
such
a
|
conference
would take.,
But,
he
added,
|
that Europe
should
be
allowed
to
drift
to her doom
while the Powers
looked
nn
with folded hands
was
not to
be thought
of.
This statement
evoked
loud
cheer-
|
.ng.
The entire
weight
of
rhe
British
|
authority and influence, said
Mr.Baldwin,
would be and
was being
thrown
into
the
!
scales
in favour of cooperation
with
the
|
United States
for the
common
action
be-
|
tween
all, which five years
aizo
won
the
war, and
by which alone peace
would
be
|
secured.
For
sach
common
action .Great
|
Britain always
had
striven,
but
it
was
|
from
no
exelusively
abstract
or
ethical
consideratinns,
nor
from
the
standpoint
|
of
treaty
obligations
alone
that
Great
Britain
had
acted
and
would
con-
|
tinue
to act.
She
was
and
must
be
in-
|
spired
by regard
for
her
own
interests.
|
With regard
to the general
situation
and
|
unemployment,
Great Britain’s duty
was
|
to
her
own
.people,
while
at
the
same
time cooperating for the
pea‘eful
recov-
ery of the whole world.
In dealing
wich
the
Imoverial
Conference,
Mr,
Baldwin
|
dealt
at
length
with
the
preference
|
granted
to Empire
productions
and
the
advantages
it
was
expected
to
derive
from them,
but he
