Speech by Salisbury.

LONDON, Nov 11

Salisbury, speaking at Guildhall on inauguration ot Lord Mayor ol London, said sending of 250,000 troops to 8. Arrica in limited time with perfection ot equipment was an achievement for which main, it not entire, credit was due to War Office. He deprecated hasty and nebulous attacks being made upon that department, and said utmost efforts would be devoted to improving present deficiencies and getting ail the wants of army attended to. Reviewing year, ho said most important of Britain’s gains was proving before the world how hearty was sympathy existing between Colonies and Motherland. That was a result of enormous value that had been fully achieved. Dwelling on existing friendly relations he claimed that Britain was entitled to rejoice at result of American election, because it was a triumph for commercial honour, which was root of all prosperity. It was satisfactory the Powers had assented to Anglo-German agreement with regard to China, namely, maintenance of integrity of open door policy, and ensuring maintenance and practice ot free trade at treaty ports. Nevertheless, action of Govt was liable to be superseded by violent ignorance, and he instanced how Kruger’s attitude and Empress Dowager’s defiance had plunged them into war. ‘We must be for a period on our guard,’ he said, in conclusion, ‘ and scrutinise our defences to make certain, as far as we humanly can, that we shall not be exposed to a sudden interruption of peace.’
