POLITICAL HONOURS DECLINED.
(Rec. January 30, 5.5 p.m.) London, January 29.
Speaking at the Manchester Constitutional Club. Lord Derby said ho did not intend- to make a sensational speech. “Mr. Lloyd George recently asked me to join the Government,” he said. “I declined for purely personal reasons. J have been credited with two ambitions —to secure the Premiership and to win t.h« Derby. ’ I now 'have only one ambition; I leave you to guess which. If I criticise the Government my purpose is to help and not wound.” Lord Derby went on to advocate strict economy in expenditure, an alliance between England and France, and a revision of the Turkish Treaty in favour of Turkey.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
