malarial tll’ Jilin The British War a Reassuri Secretary Makes ng Speech A dcspatch from London says: The customary Lord Mayor’s banquet was giicn on Friday night at the (luildhall, the official residence of the Lord Mayor, and was attended by the usual crowd‘ of Ministers, Ambassadors, and other notable men. in the absence of l‘rinie' Minister Campbcll-Bannerman, the Mar- quis of ltipon, Lord l’rivy Seal, was the chief speaker. Reviewing foreign affairs, he said that, although at the time the Algcciras con- ference opened there was a somewhat Uncomfortable prospect, it tiad through the mutual forbearance of the powers resulted in greatly improving and strengthening the confidence in Euro- pean peace. All the indications now pointed to peace being assured. Referring to the Congo Independent State, he said that the primary duty of putting things right there belonged to Belgium. if she did not accept the duty Great Britain would have to consider whether it was possible in concert. steps with other powers to remedy the evils. Responding to the toast, “The im- pcrial Services," \Var Secretary [lat- dane said that he and the. First Lord of the. Admiralty, Lord 'l‘wccdiiioulh. I‘t‘iliili't] it was a solemn duty on their part not to diminish the country‘s fightâ€" ing force by one whit. It was the duty of a Christian people, the speaker con- tinued, to set an example by reducing the expenditures for armaments, but unless they had a response from other nations, this was impossible. The speaker hoped the time would come when nations would look back upon these days as a period of barbarism and wonder why they had spent init- lions in this manner. But until that time arrived it was in the interest '1 peace itself that no nation let down its strength, and it was the duty of Great Britain to maintain its fighting effici- ency.
