MR. MASSEY.
A PRESS EULOGT. Br Telegraph rreas Asm— Copyright London, August 3. The National Review, referring to the opening speeches at the Conference, says editorially, under the heading “Mr. Massey to the Rescue”: “We are all grateful to Mr. Massey for following General Smuts and saying a word in season. We feel his protest on behalf of loyalty and good faith to our Allies will appeal to all that is best in the overseas Dominions, just as it is appreciated in the old world. “To General Smuts’ demand that Britain should wash her hands of Europe and avoid any partisan attitude in its concerns, if necessary rejecting all alliances, Mr. Massey replied he could not join in General Smuts’ opinion that we should do without alliance*. We must, stand, by our treaties, even if, for the time being, they do not aeem of much advantage. Our reputation for fair and honest dealing is one of our best assets, and must be maintained at all costs. If Britain had been compelled to stand adone in the late war could she have been successful. With all the confidence he had in her right, power and patriot,. gm, he doubted it." r
