(By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.)
(Beater's Telegrams.) (Received J\ily 7th, 11.45 p.m.) s LONDON, July 6,
At a dinner given by the Government to the International Commercial Conference, Mr Bonar Law said, in reference to the coming blow, that it would not be less dangeroos because of the time taken in preparations. The Allied High Command was confident as regards the results. The fateful hour of the war had arrived. If three months hence, the enemy had gained no ' strategic objectives, then his campaign would have failed. Mr Bonar Law expressed the hope that it would be a decisive failure.
The Government, he added, had not lost hope as regards Russia. Germany was already learning that she was not getting what had anticipated from Russia.
As regards the economic question, iho Allied Governments practically agreed with the views of the Commercial Conference. The alliance would, after the war, continue to stand together in order to repair the ravages of the war. There was no immediate hope of peace, which was obtainable onl;' through victory.
