A despatch: from London says:—
That it is the intention of the British
Government to revert to the gold stan-
dard at the earliest possible moment,
was announced in the Honse of Com-
mons on Thursday by Winston Spen-
cer Churchill, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer,

tin put to hint on the subject.
"His' Government," Majesty s Governm t, said
Mt. Churchill, "are in full agreement
with the declared intentions of•pre
'vioas administrations to revert to the
gold standard at the earliest possible
moment.: But I am not in a position
to make as moredefinitestatementlat
present."
The House Thursday evening by a
vote of 295 against 87 passed a supple-
mentary budget estimate to cover the
,expenses off, the forthcoming trip of
the Prince of Wales to South Africa
and South-Arne/lea,
The 'vote was taken after the
Chamber had rejected a motion by
David iir1twood; Labor member: for
the Dumbarton btu•ghs, to reduce the
s16,fl00 which it has been estimated
will be required for the trip. The vote
on this 'question was 304 against 90.
