The import- ance ot'Lord Lansdowne's attitude is that no a can accuse him of desir- ing to ai the enemy. The Marquis of Lansdo a Is a typical represen- tative of tb old Tory party. He was a membe of Asquith's coalition Administration and was Secretary for Foreign A rs le Lord Salis- bury'S'and Mr. B four's Ministries. He was Viceroy o India and Gov- ernor-General of Ca ada.

So she paid 10 cents for that, and with the remaining 2 cents she bought two sticks of red and white etriped randy.

ORD LANSDOWNE interested in his action on account of the fact that he was once Governor- General of the Dominion. 1i fact, Sir John A. Macdonald pronounced him the greatest Governor-General we had bad up to that time. There is Just a possibility that his letter may become a historic document. His letter gives formal adhesion to President Wilson's policy of a league of nations, and he asks: "What will be the value of the blessings of peace to nations so exhausted that they can scarcely stretch forth a hand to grasp them?" Lord Lansdowne contends that an Immense stimulus would probably be given to the [Peace party in Gsr• I many If It were understood: First, that the annihilation of Ger-1 many as a great power was not de- sired: second, that we do not .eek to Impose upon the German people a form of government against their choice: third, that. except as a legiti- mate war measure, we do not desire to deny to Germany her place among the great commercial countries; fourth, that we are pr'epar'ed atter the war, in concert with the other powers, to examine the international problems connected with the freedom of the seas; atth, that we are pre- pared to enter into an international pact under which ample opportuni- ties would be afforded for the settle - meet of International Maputo; by Peaceful means " iansdowne'n long and intimate connection with foreign affairs and diplomacy lends unusual authority to such a pronouncement at the tno- meet of the meeting of the later - allied Conference at Paris, and be- cause of Clemenceau's recent declar- ation against a league of nation., Including Germany, and already there are tndinatlone of embittered eoatrovsrsy over it.
