LONDON, Jan.10.\u2014It was stated last night that the Liberals would >e prepared to give the Labor Government a free hand so long as their legislative efforts should be confined to practical politics, according to the Mail.MACDONALD\u2019S SPEECH HAS CREATED GREATEST INTEREST IN FRANCE (Associated Press Despatch) PARIS, Jan.10.\u2014 (Via Reuters.) \u2014-Ramsay Macdonald\u2019s Albert Hall speech has create 1 the greatest interest in Fpance.There is a general disposition here'to meet the experiment of a Labor government in Great Britain with an open mind.If Macdonald\u2019s idealism and optimism strike most Frenchmen as exaggerated, they are nevertheless determined to give him a square deal and judge him by his acts.The Labor leader\u2019s expression of friendship for France has created a favorable impression.The Temps says Macdonald has performed the triumphal ascent to the capitol cleverly and not without dignity.\u201cWe shall no doubt often find ourselves at variance with him but We shall do his expected intentions justice and hope he will do justice to those of the French public.\u201d The Journal des Debats welcomes Ramsay Macdonald\u2019s friendly sentiment of regard for France, adding: \u201cIf he once gets into Downing Street and preserves these sentiments he will encounter a great good-will from France which is willing to lay aside mutual recriminations and build up a sound policy based on respect for treaties and guarantees of pçacc.\u201d The extreme Right organ, Liberté, expresses the opinion that Mr.Macdonald is still at the idyllic stage, and adds: \u201cUniversal reconciliation would be armirablc, but Macdonald\u2019s, plan lacks ways and means.His language smacks of 1848.His illusions In 1848 only benefitted Birmarck and Prussia.Beware of omens.\u201d MR.FIELDING\u2019S CONDITION (Asaociated Pre«« Doapatch) OTTAWA, Jan.10.\u2014Hon.W.S.Fielding's condition is unchanged.THE WEATHER * + + + + + + + ^ PROBABLY SNOW The western cold wave has passed directly eastward into Northern Ontario and Quebec, and from present indications is unlikely to aiTect Southern Ontario.The weather is becoming quite mild again in the Western Provinces.Foreca.al: Norlheaat and eaat winda, cloudy today: probably a snowfall tomorrow* v \u2022 BISHOP W.D.REEVE, of To- ronto, who has just celebrated his 80th birthday.He is enjoying the best of health.ISSUE REPLIES IN REGARD TO WÊr§- BUDGET WILL SHOW A SURPLUS OF $1,444,365 GF ORDINARY REVENUE OVER EXPENDnURE: SPEECH TODAY Provincial Treasurer Will Present Budget Speech Today\u2014-Information Is that Next Week Will Ses Introduction of What May Prove to Be Most Contentious Legislation of Session and Most Important in History of Province for Some Time Past, Namely, Government Measure Providing for Issue of $15,000,000 Bonds to Be Turned!
