"The British people have no reason to doubt our sincerity. We called on our people to come In and lay down their arms. How many million pound were saved to the British nation by that surrender it I needles now to reckon up. Having accepted tha term Lord Kitchener was authorized to of fer us, we never sought to have them modified. What we sougth for wa not a modification of the term of the peace treaty, but the immediate help v of which our people are in need. Having to plead a cause which should speak eloquently enough for Itself, we are sorely disappointed by the result. At least, w have every reason to consider the. we have failed In our errand. "It is assumed that wa did not take kindly to a loan. That supposition wa gratuitous. Aa to the shape In which material help ahould be given, we had, neither the right nor the will to pick and choose. But, having seen no pros pect of receiving such help, we appeal ed In urgent need to all the nations of the world. "That course had been sharply criti cised, so far a we can see, all our ap peal to foreigners implied was that our people were In sore need of In stant relief and that wa were willing to undergo the humiliation for pleading; it. "Memorie of help withheld, despite pressing need and urgent appeal for justice or generosity, are certain to i live long, die hard and Inflict damage out of all proportion to their seeming importance." 1 ' PRICE OF WHETCT. . ; PORTLAND.
