ALLEN TO-DAY OWEN -- 'The Pail YEAR 88; No. 192, T0 REVIEW THE TREATY Loyd George Thinks Britain + Be Ally of Ja And US. London, Aug. 19.--Prime Minister Lloyd George in a statement in the house of commons yesterday said the recent conference of imperial prem- iers had recognized unanimously that Japan had loyally observed the al- llance with Great Britain during the war. He asked was it right that Great Britain should now turn about and say to Japan: "Thank you for the trouble you have taken, but we don't want you any longer." There were cries of "no," from the com- oners, Lloyd George declared the British empire must behave in a gentle, man- ly manner, but he did not see why it should be impossible to fulfill Great Britain's obligation to Japan and at the same time observe a spirit of fraternity to the United States, It the United States and Japan could combine on. the problems of the Pacific, he declared, that would be a guarantee for the peace of the world. The surest way to success in the forthcoming disarmament con- ference would be through an under- standing on the Pacific, and he was still hopeful that such an understan- ding would ensue as a result of the Washington conference.

This, apparently, was indicated by a sud- den change in the plan to Jprorogue to-day and the annpuncement that it had been decided merely to call a recess of two months before ending the present session, The British Rorerament. declared Lloyd George td"day, in making its decided on" putting the whole of its terms into a letter to Eamonn de Val- era, without keeping anything back, and the sequel had proved, he said, that it was right in adopting that course, The British government, in its Irish peace offer, offered everything it' was possible to concede the prime minister declared. It embodied the largest measure of freedom ever of- fered Ireland, he said, and he hoped the Irish leaders would not reject it and take the responsibility of renew- ing a conflict which would be robbed of all glory and all gratitude by its overshadowing horror. Lloyd George disclaimed any menace for his words, He declared, however, that the gov- ernment, in making its terms; had done everything it could to secure the peace and good will of the peo- ple of Ireland, and that it was faced with the possibility, through some things that had been said, that its terms would be rejected. In that case, the country would face a grav- er situation regarding Ireland than ever before. Therefore, he said, pro- vision had been made for the sum- moning of parliament on forty-eight hours' notice if negotiations broke down' and prospect of peacg became hopeless. He hoped, however, that reason would prevail and the gov- ernment"s desire for the ending of a long misunderstanding between Great Britain and Ireland would be realizs- ed. t Offers All Possible, London, Aug. 19.--Lord ' Curzon, secretary for foreign affairs, speak- ing in the house of lords to-day on the Irish negotiations, said the gov- ernment had offered all that could be given without compromising the safety of the realm, the sovereignty of the crown and the dignity of the empire, Sinn Fein Watches London. Dublin, Ang. 19.--Leaders of the Sinn Fein - to-day were centering their intention on London, awaiting the expected statement on the Irish negotiations by the prime minister in the house of commons and the gov- ernment's reply in the house of lords, to the recent invitations by the Mar- quis of Salisbury for an official state- ment on the subject. Meanwhile the rank and file of the members of the Dail Eireann were engaged in com- mittee work in consideration of Irish internal affairs. THE RAILWAY QUESTION AGAIN TO THE FRONT The National R: Railways Will Have Another Big Deficit This Year, Ottawa, Aug.' 19.--The railway question is again to the front and some interviews this week with big men of both the national system have had reference to it. The National Railways are doing a little better this year but very little. It is costing them $1.25 to do every dollar's worth of business and the heavy deficit of last year, though possibly - reduced somewhat, will in- hescapably be repeated again. ~.

New York, Aug. 19.--The New York press bitterly condemns De { Valera for the note of defiance sound- {ed in his speech before the Dail Eireann. The Times declares it is "No time for Irish Bluffing," and says: "In spite of .De Valera's high tone and uncofnpromising language there seems to be a confident belief in Lon- don, and even in Dublin, that the Irish negotiations will' go on until an agreement is reached. *""This would imply that the Irish leader is either fooling his extremist followers to the top of their bent for the time being or that he is trying to play a 'shrewd game with Lloyd George. Either course would be dan- gerous. In particular would it be hazardous for De Valera to attempt political tricks with the most adroit and resourcefu} politician of his day. "Consider what Lloyd George has already done and what he may do next. He has solidified English opin- ion in opposing separation for Ire- land. By publishing the official cor- respondence, he has detached from Sinn Fein the sympathies of the out- side world. If the British terms are rejected outright, the general verdict that the Irish have shown themselves unreasonable and impossible. That occasien Lloyd George might eagerly seize to bring on a general election on the issue of keeping Ireland with- lin the Empire, Its results could not be in doubt. {The prime minister would emerge stronger than ever politically; and Sinn Fein more iso- lated and hopeless. "Decidedly, Lloyd George is not a man for De Valera to endeavor to cir- cumvent. He Js the sort of enemy to agree with quickly whilst in the way with him. It is to be hoped that De Valera's moressagacious advisers will impress this fact upon him in these critical days." Argument is Refuted. The World finds that: "In denying that the British gov- ernment's '0! cludes 'the status of dominion home rule for Ireland-- the status of the British dominions,' Mr. de Valera omits all reference to the actual terms of the proposals. "The point on which Mr. de Val- era labors with the greatest zeal is the separation of Ulster from south- ern Ireland. How would he prevent it it Ulster persists in its present at- titude? He suggests external arbitra- tion. But if Ulster still refuses, as is easily to be foreseen, what then? Is Ulster to be coerced into sharing ag- ainst its will with southern Ireland the same government, and must it | be coerced by the British government in order to satisfy Mr. de Valera and his followers? If that is their design they flatly repudiate in respect to Ul- ster the very principle on which they have based their whole case. In rea~ son and justice they cannot refuse to concede to Ulster the same rights and freedom they demand for southern Ireland. "The settlement of the Irish ques- tion along the proposed lines is as yet by no means hopeless. Mr, de Valera and Sinn Fein do well to bargain in a conciliatory spirit for still more fav- orable terms. But to force a final break on the issue of Ulster would be to injure their cause irrevocably. Should Settle Now. The 'Tribune under the heading "Settle!" says: "If the members of the Dail Eir- eann are interested, as they are said to be, in American opinion concern- ing the latest phases of the Irish question it should not be difficult for them to arrive at fairly cccurate con- clusions. The evidence is clear that the great mass of Americans, includ- ing a large majority of those of Irish j extraction, believe that the present opportunity to settle should be seized --that the British offer embodies ab- out al] that can be expected at this time. "De Valera's rhetoric geems to Am- ericans a trifle unreal. His periods lose force because at odds with his ¢onduct. He would die for Irish inde- pendence, yet he negotiates with a power that makes no secret of its un- shakable determination to grant it. ROBBING THE MOTORISTS, A Scheme That wag. Unfolded at .

Fully fifteen hundred people at- tended the picnic on Thursday afte:- noon, held by the United Farmers of the counties of Lennox and Adding- ton and Frontenac, at Galbraith'a Grove, located on the shores of Varty Lake, about two miles from Colc- brook. In the field adjoining the grove, where the speeches were given, about two hundred automobiles were parked. R: E. Burnaby, president of the United Farmers for 'the province, Bave an interesting address, which was listened to very attentively by all those present. During the course of his remarks, Mr. Burnaby discues- ed many of the problems which con- front the people at the present time. He paid special stress to the part which the farmers of this province must play in the building of the nas tion. In opening his address Mr. Burnaby eaid that the subject of his discourse would be "In unity there is strength." He fook occasion to remark that the farmers were'gen- . erally ether misunderstood or mis- represented . The speaker remarked | that he was sorry the premier of this {dominion had recently made tiie | statement that farmers were '"'wreck- ers." The statement has been made, remarked the speaker, that farmers are profiteers; but he took occasion to deny this statement by stating that the farmer was not the man who set the price of the goods when it was brought td the city to be sold. Mr. Burnaby referred to the state- ment which is made continually that the farmers have barrels of money. which he sald was not true, and if it were true none of the newspaper men who make these remarks have 'gone on the land to make the "bar- rels of money" to which they refer. The speaker then dealt with the United Farmers' organization of On- tario, and went on to show that there were only sixty thousand members when there should be two hundred and sixty thousantl. He refer: to the farmers' movement as an or ization which had for its purpose the idea of increasing production and assisting the farmer generally. ~ e-- No. . When dealing with the prices the farmers receive for their goods at the present time; he sald that re= cently he sold a hide for three cents a pound, and when he went to the store to buy machine belt lacing thev asked him three dollars a pound Yer this article, so he would have to leave it to the people as to whether the {farmer was profiteering, or the man | who sold the lacing. Mr. Burnady said "'that it was high time that we as farmers have an organization whieh will have is its object the further- ance of the interests of the farmer, in al] branches of agricultur:" Ha dealt with those people who have said that the farmers have made mistakes, and was willing to acfnowledge that mistakes had been made, but the people who hed the most te say had not. joined the farmers' movement, and were in no position to criticise. Mr. Burnaby urged the farmers t» support their co-operative stores, and showed how, during the past year, the farmers who had bought their fence wire in Ontarto had been able to purchase it from twenty to thir.y cents a rod less than they would have had not the farmers' co-operativs stores made a contract with a fen>s wire manufacturing rompany at = lower price than had been paid on previous occasions. The other com~ panies who®sold wire were forced to fall in-line with the pricezset by the farmers' stores. He claimed that there was no merchant in the pro- vince who could have sold binder- twine at a lower price than the fa-- mers' stores did this year, and make any profit. Farmers Should Advertise.
