nal telegraphed today. The correspon- dent ssid the American Ambassador in- formed Chancellor Stresemann, tht in the event of a coup d’etat by the right wing grorps monarchists, the United States will announce that it has abandoned plans to settle the repara- tions question.

There is much to be done. It way be Jangerous work, but we will conquer Germany’s enemies and in the end we will make the fatherland what destiny intended it to be, a profound solid Empire. : London, Nov. 9th-—The Premiers who have been attending the conference here were guests at a dinner given last night at the Compatriots’ Club, which was formed twenty years ago in support of Joseph Chamberlain’s tariff v.ews. The Earl of Selbourne presided. Loid Milner, proposing the toast,s''our common coun- try’’ said it' was impossible to build a Chinese wall round the Empire but he thought each member of the Kmpire should give the other memt-s the first chance in business. He expressed the opinion that the prosperity of the Empire would enortaously increase and its for- eign trade expand if the principie of pre- ference were adopted. Mr. Austin Chamberlain proposed the toast to the guests and in doing so mads an im- portant speech on the fiscal con'roversy. He said he rejoiced that while he was Chancellor of the Exchequer he made his first small hesitating gesture of aporeci- ation of the Dominions by a przferential policy and he rejoiced that it has rallen to his father’s other son, Neville Cham- berlain, the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, to make the jnext advance alopg this line. Mr. Austen Chamber- lain said he accepted and supported every fiscal measure foreshadowed by the Gov- ernment, but the Government’s proposals were only half measures. '‘You cannot fizht this issue on canned lobster or cur- rants’’, he declared. He favourad an extension of the preference to the arti- cles of Dominion production and urged Mr. Baldwin boldly to invite the Domini- ons to make definite concrzte proposals with regard to development they could ungenake, if Britaip undertook to con- sume the produce the Dominions could grow, but could not eat. Mr. Chambar- lain was cheered at the conclusion of his ST CRUIL3 AN LIS speech. Lleut.-Colonel Amery, First ILord of the Admiralty, said he hoped the soul and spnit «f the econemic confer- ence results would be kept alive.

SAYS EARTH HAS CENTRAL CORE. ¢ Studies of varying velocity of earth- quake tremors passing through the in- terior of the globe lead Prof. Wiechert of Holland to conclude that the earth ~ consists of a central core of iron or steel about 5500 miles in diameter surroun led by a story shell nearly 1000 miles in thickness. Between the outer rolid rind and the inner layer of roek covering the metalic core, he thinks there is a layer of liquid or plastic ‘material a little less than 20 miles belaw the earth’s surface. —The ]’(!Hg/"??d"!'.
