THE PRINCE’S SPANISH.

LONDON, January 20. Sir Philip. Cunliffe-Lister, President of the Board of Trade, speaking as the guest of the Rritisli and Latin American Chamber of Commerce yesterday, said already we had a large share of tlio trade of South America, and could make that share greater, for the.ypiality and up-to-time delivery of British goods were becoming more and more appreciated. Outside our own Dominions no greater opportunities for tho expansion of trade existed than in South America. The Spanish Ambassador said that the Prince of‘Wales, “one of the most remarkable types of men and Princes living to-ilay.” had learned a considerable amount of Spanish during Ins recent South American tour. His Royal Highness had continued his study of Spanish, “ and,” said the Ambassador, “ T have had the honour and pleasure of conversing with the Prince in my own language.”

FKWKR FRENCH COAIAIUXISTS. PARIS, Jan. 19. f The Rulletin Communiste, the organ of French dissident Communists, states that at places like Roubaix and Tourcoing the numbers of the Communist Party have shrunk considerably. Out of 600 members of one Communist ‘'cel!” only 80 now answer the call of their party. At a recent meeting at St. Denis, the notoriously Communist suburb of Paris, only 40 members of the party were present, when 500 were expected. At Vienne, in the industrial centre, only thirty out of 800 members were present.
