NATIONAL LIBERALS
REJECT A MOTION FAVOURING 1 PEACE OVERTURES. London, September 27. The National Liberal Federation overwhelmingly rejected a motion in favour of the sympathetic consideration of peace overtures, and adopted motions in favour of tho League of Nations, demanding the abolition of conscription after the war and the establishment without delay of Homo Rule in Ireland. Mr. Samuel, in moving a resolution urging the subordination of all other purposes to tho effective prosecution of the war, denounced the future tariff war. He said Germany must be fought until she abandons militarism and is punished for her crimes; but wo would not fight in order to establish commercial monopolies, though Germany must await her turn for raw material.
The cotifereiice adopted a resolution in support of Free-trade, setting out that the State should secure the profits of industries the protection of which was necessary to tha national security. —Aus,-N.Z. Cable Assn.
