THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN; MONDAY. AUGUST 23. 1926. mtmm MR. WELLS'S WAY TO PEACE.

SHE NEW COERCION CODE IN IRELAND. GOLF. AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. HUTCHISON'S CLOSE WIN. TlossmooJr, Illinois, Saturday.

Although the professional championship of Birmingham to-night on "An Apology f0r the United States has not been taken out of Utopians," Mr. H. G. Wells said the Utopian. America, the question of the possibility of an method was the method of planning.

Ecen-American-born professional winning the title architect before starting to build had a Utopian THE PEINCIPLES OF THE HIGHWAYMAN." MANCHESTER IRISHMEN? AND THE- VERNMENT Mr. Sean: Mil roy, chief organiser in. England of the IrisSi Self-Determination League, was the principal speaker at a meeting arranged by the Manchester branch of the League which was held in the Gorton Town Hall on Satur-! day evening. How was the British Government's Tefusal to accept Ireland's terms to be squared with the declarations which Great Britain made during the war? asked Mr. Milroy.

In 1917 Lloyd George said that "the rights of nations, however small, are as sacred as tne rights of the biggest empires." How did that square with the argument that because the Almighty placed Ireland within a few miles of the i British coast the same principle must not ppy to Ireland? "Let us, if they like, have he mailed fist in Ireland, and we will know 1 the how to meet it," he continued, amid cheers. But in the name of all that is sacred, in the name of common sense and sound reason, don't let us have these. principles of (the highwayman and the bandit put forward as a sort of second version of the Ten Commandments." Mr. Asquith, while he was Premier, declared in 1914 that Britain would not sheathe the sword until the rights of the smaller nationalities of Europe were placed upon an unassailable foundation. This is a war for the emancipation of the smaller States;" he had smd.

How was that declaration to he squared with the Government's present attitude to Ireland? "What did such statements give. to Ireland that any undertaking made by England would be observed if it did'-nofc suit her purpose? "We have no guarantee of peace and tranquillity in Ireland escept the sovereign independence of the Irish nation," Mr. Milroy said, and that guarantee we are going to have, no matter what the English 'Govemment, the English press, or the English democracy may say to the contrary." (Cheers.) The 94 Rogues and Scoundrels'" of the Labour Party. No rational man believed that the strategical position of Ireland was a menace to England's interests. The real thing! behind the assertion was the lust of conquest that filled the Englishman's mind, but the Irish nation recognised no moral obligation to feed England's blood-lust for conquest.

The day that saw the advent of a British statesman who would find a real basis of peace by allowing the will of the Irish people to prevail would see England nearer to a friendly Ireland than, she had. ever been. If English Labour party did not "get a hustle on they would go down in history as a lot of damned rogues and unscrupulous scoundrels. "What had become of the resolu-. tion passed over a month ago by the Trade Unions Congress which said that if the demand for the withdrawal of the army of occupation was not conceded Labour would down tools? Mr.

Lloyd George had made a footmat of the Trade Unions Congress resolution, and not a word had been, uttered in reply. Mr. George Clancy, president of the Manchester branch of the League, also alluded to the attitude of the trade unions. If Labour, as it claim ad, had stopped war with Russia, Ireland said Be consistent and stop the war with Ireland immediately." The purpose of the meeting, over which Mr. Tohn Walsh presided, was to reiterate the pro tests against the British Government's treatment of Dr.

Mannix. A resolution to that effect was passed unanimously, demanding the withdrawal of the ban which prevents Dr. Mannix from entering Ireland as well as Manchester and other cities; and the meeting sent a message of sympathy to the Lord Mayor of Cork, who is on hunger-strike in Brixton gaol, and to the other Irishmen who are suffering similarly. The hall, which is not verv large, was crowded, and an overflow meeting was held outside. MOTOR-COACH SPEEDS.

HEAVY FINES ON DRIVERS. At Lancaster on Saturday all the 25 cases dealt with by the county magistrates were for breaches of the Motor Acts, and fines amounting to over 97 were imposed. Five defendants were charged with driving to the danger of the public. Four of these were motor-charabanc drivers. They were each hned 15, whilst two of them had their licences suspended for three months.

The Bench declared that they would stop excessive driving, and said as penalties of 10 had not been effective the defendants must pay 15. In two cases it was shown that the governors on charabancs wnicn reguiatea tne speea to twelve miles per hour were cut or tied up. thus pre venting them from actinir. The speeds were proved by a sergeant and constable, who were mouniea ou a. maiar-vjciti wiui siaecsr, wiui a tested speedometer attached.

COUNCIL OF ACTION TO BE PERMANENT? MR. ADAMSON'S HINT. BIG LONDON DEMONSTRATION. The Labour demonstration held in Trafalgar Square, London, yesterday afternoon, under arrangements made by the National Council of Action, to demand peace with Russia, proved to be one of the largest assemblies of its kind. Organised by the London Labour party and the London Trades Council, contingents marched in procession with bands and banners from all parts, the demonstration not only filling the square but overflowing to the terraces.

Mounted police were requisitioned to keep the approaches clear for traffic. Speeches were made from three platforms on Lve P'mth of Nelson's Column. A comprehen- ieh iUtion was put simultaneously from the vart li fjiT ed.ed for a minute in memory of those peple'S CaUSe' This. meeting of London citizens Trafalgar Square expresses its unqualified approval of the resolutions adopted at the National Labour Conference of August 13, 1920. We pledge ourselves loyally to support the National Council of Action whatever steps it deems necessary war, open or otherwise, between ttio British Government and the Socialist Kepubhc of Russia and to secure an honest peace and the frank recognition of the Soviet Government Mr- W.

Adamson. M.P.. said the people of the whole country were behind the Council of Action in their determination to prevent the Government from going to war with Russia either directly or indirectly. Peace could only be guaranteed by the ever-ready action of Labour and such action must be taken by national bodies so organised as to be able to enter into communication with similar bodies in other countries. The people must take steps to prevent their pacific intentions being thwarted by the blunders of first one statesman and then another.

This was neither a Labour question nor a political issue, but a strong simple emotion which he hoped and believed would continue until peace was secured for a war-weary world. (Cheers.) Mr. Lloyd George (loud boos had told them they were hammering at an open door and that he was as much in favour of peace as any member of the Council of Action. But how could the Prime Minister expect them to believe a statement of that kind in view of the fact that arms and ammunition had been granted freely by the Government to Eoltchak, Denikin, and Wran-gel? The danger of war was because of sinister influences at work which desired to force war with Russia for their own ends. The Council of Action would do its utmost, he added, to achieve the purpose for which it was appointed, and it was possible that if it was their will the council would be continued afterwards for other tasks that required to be completed in this country.

(Cheers.) Mr. George Lansbury said he had to thank the Government and the capitalist press for having given the "Daily Herald" a tremendous increase in circulation. He protested was their will the Council would be continued the imprisonment of the Lord Mayor of Cork despite his hunger-strike. Mrs. Despard, Miss Margaret Bondfield, and Mr.

Herbert Morrison also spoke. LABOUR'S ADDENDUM TO THE CONSTITUTION. DR. R. DUNSTAN AND COUNCIL OF ACTION.

THE Dr. R. Dunstan, the Labour candidate for the Rusholme Division of Manchester, was the chief speaker yesterday at a mass meeting in Piatt Fields organised by the local Council of Action to protest against British interference in Russo-Polish affairs. He said that a most significant event had taken place during the past fortnight Under our constitution the declaration of war ran in the King's name, the King exercising his prerogative on the advice of the Cabinet. That was the condition of affairs up to the last fortnight, but now a change had been effected.

"Our constitution is an unwritten one," Dr. Dunstan proceeded, "and the Labour party has brought about a revision of it. No longer can a King, or a statesman, or a group of capitalists declare war in this country: united Labour has stepped on to say that as it is the people who have to do the fighting and supply the cannon fodder, no one shall declare war without the people's consent, and if anyone does so, then the people will declare war upon him." (Applause.) The Government now asserted that it never wanted war, yet Mr. Churchill had written for the London press an article calling on German militarists to join France and England in an attack on the Russian Republic But war was no longer possible without the consent of the Workers' Council. The people who were against them now dreaded the day when the workers would use the industrial weapon on the home front.

EASTBOURNE MYSTERY. POLICE SEARCH FOR TWO YOUNG MEN. The woman whose dead bodv was discovered on Friday night partially buried in the sand at Eastbourne has been identified as Irene Munro, 17, a London typist, whose parents reside in Wellington Street. Portobello. near Edinburgh.

Her features were battered beyond recognition, and no money or valuables were found on the body. I Mis; Munro had apparently been employed as a tvnist in London. Tt is not Vnown when sue arrived at Eastbourne, but on Tuesday morning she took lodgings with a Mrs. Wynniatt. wno lives not far from the scene of tb" tragedy, at 393.

Seaside. She went out on Thursday be tween two and three o'clock in the afternoon, saying she was goin for a walk to Hampden r-arK. aDOut two miles miana. jvits. wjuuww and her husband did not see her alive again.

A little boy named Walter Waller, who was on a visit with his parents to Eastbourne, went down on Friday on to the Crumbles for a picnie with his mother. A limit eicrht o'clock in the evening- he was running down a steep part of the beach near a light railwav line when he caught nis toot in some obstruction. Turning Dacu, no caught sight of a woman's foot, sticking out of the shingle, the wst of the bodv being buried. He told his mother, and tosrether thev went back to their lodgines. snd later ret'nd to he spot with the landlord and Mr.

wener. rna nartv scraped aside the shingle and discovered th bodv of a woman. The face of the victim had been badly disfigured, almost to the extent of being unrpcoe-nisable. The tepth worn loissinir. and there were punctures on the mouth and forehead and hv the left ear.

A post-mortpm examination i heina- made to discover whether the holes were millet wounds or whether the face and head had been battered by some sharp instrument. The latter is tinve Vieen more likely. The nolice have no doubt that the case is one of murder, as the wounds could not have been self-inflicted. Scotland Yard men are workine on the cae, but at nresent- there is no cine. The motive for the crime does not appear to bave been robberv.

and unofficially the theory is held that outrage was the cause. There is rrossin in the district where the victim lodeed about her bnvinsr bnen seen the company of a man on Friday, nut the clue is not very strong. According to Mrs. Wynmatt the young woman was of a vpry respectable appearance and tidily dressed. She appeared to the landlady to be the usual type of honest London business girl.

Miss Munro's. Movements. The story, so far as Mrs. Wynniatt cap carry it, is that Miss Munro called at her house first on Monday afternoon, but there was then no accommodation, and she arranged to come back next day. She arrived at about 10 30 on Tues day morning and had breakfast.

"She seemed a very nice youne woman." Mrs. Wynniatt told a press reprepentative. of decent ap and looked perfectly respectable. Her movements while sne was with me weTe those of anv ordinary visitor. She cam into meals-regularly, and -she had no callers." We-ferrin tn 'several letters which arrived for M'ss MunTO.

Mrs. Wvnniatt said one came from Scotland 'and another bore the postmark -of South Kensington. "On' Thursdav she went out between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, paving that she was goina to walk to Hampden Park. She did not return. waitM up for her until after midnight.

On Friday there were no signs of her. and I did not know what to do. I thought she mfeht come along during the day. Then we opened a letter which had come for her from Edinburgh, and found it was from her mother at Portobello. We intended sending telegram to her mother on Saturday morning.

when we saw in the local paper an announce ment that the bodv or a young woman had been mund on tne iirumbies. My husband went at once to the police, and we were both able to identify the body as that of our late lodger- principally by her clothes. I could not' recog nise her features as they were so badly knocked about, but I knew at once the green coat, she had been wearing with a deep fur upon it. When sue nm came to lodge with, us she seemed fairly cheerful, but she said she was very tired, and was having a holiday because she needed rest and her nerves were ery bad. Yesterday' messages from Eastbourne state that the police are still senreTrng for two men who were seen walking along the Ugh' railway on the Crumbles toward Pvnsev Bay between three and four o'olook on Thursdav 'afternoon.

It is assumed that the murder had then been committed and that the men were walking away from the scene of it. The police state that flhout four oVlonk on Thursday afternoon Miss Munro was seen walking past 393. Seas-'de, where she had been lodg ing. She was then with two fairly tall young men. drested in grey suits with hurriner-hone pattern.

Just before this sh had com out of the house where abe wan ntav. ing and turned towards Eastbourne, apparently wj meei inese two men, neither of whom, had a hat on. Almost immediately afterwards she came back and walked towards the Crumbles. The two men also walked towards the Crumbles, the three being in conversation together. The girl carried a blue silk handbag about nine inches long and six inches wide, with a plain white metal snap fastening, with a handle to pass over the arm made of the same material as the bag.

8he also habitually wore a nine-carat gold ring with a round cluster of four. five. or six small brilliants or white stones. She is believed to have had between 2 and 2. 10s.

in her possession, but the baa. Tino-. and mnn cannot be found. The police are anxious to wace tne two men aescriDea ana tne bag and Death Due to Fractured Skull. The medical opinion is that the victim had been dead for at least 18 hours when found.

A post-mortem examination has revealed the fact that death was due to a fractured1 skull caused by a heavy blow with some blunt instrument, probably the blood-stained brick found near the body. Miss Munro is stated to have been seen by several cottagers with two men on the road near the Crumbles between Eastbourne and Pevensey early on the evening of Thursday. It is stated that one of the men had his arm around her waist The scene of the murder la lonely spot. Even if there had been a struggle before the murder was committed few traces, if any, would have been left in the loose shingle. MOVEMENTS OF STEAMERS.

That authority mav "make orders regulating, restricting, or prohibiting me transport of articles, where such appears to him to be necessary "the grammar is and an order may be made to apply Generally to- Ireland, to all articles, and to all'' means- of transport, or to any area in Ireland, to any articles or descriptions of articles, or to any means of transport specified." There appears to be some fatuous person somewhere in control who believes that by extending the area of l.oss, confusion, or inconvenience in the Irish community the cause of law and order mav be advanced. He is not in the Irish administration, for when the competent military authority made an order easing the tion on the railways the order was cancelled from London at the shriek of the Morning Post." Evidently the regulation quoted above is designed to give this genius a freer nanu. xne tolly ot the whole policy is emphasised by" the fact, now generally known.

At a meeting called by Lord Bandon of Deputy Lieutenants county and city) at Cork on Saturday, the following resolution was adopted: "As the Government of Ireland Bill now before Parliament is unacceptable to any party in Ireland we are of the opinion that an immediate effort should be made to settle the Question by provisions which, while preserving -Ireland within the Empire and safeguarding Jhe security of Great Britain, will give effect to the desire of the majority of the Irish people lor self-government, with adequate control of All local affairs, including taxation. We urge the Government that every month's delay in adopting this course renders the situation more dangerous and the chance of agreement more remote." NO MORE DEMOBILISATION BENEFITS. lt is stated in an army order that the demobilisation furlough aud other benefits granted to soldiers under the Army Demobilisation Regulations will cease to be granted on and after August 31. No portion of the 61 days leave which has been or may be granted to soldiers who have served in North Russia, East -Russia, and South Russia will be cancelled, and soldiers whose claims for repatriation have been or may be approved will not be affected by the provisions of this new order.

(From our own Reporter.) Birmingham, Sendat Speaking at the History Summer School vision in his mind.

Utopias had often been at oy me so-caueo practical men who only recently sneered at motor-cars, aeroplanes a 1 and submarines. To meet this -nreiudipp r.u writers of Utopias had often said their Utnna. distant island or nKnot Tn were a distant island or planet. In a Utopias were treason to the things that art and to the pp that are The new Tjtopias we plans for neW worlds: Early Socialists, Mr. Wells continued.

wf, entirely Utcpian. They made their aju.r.,1 ,0 the creative impulse in man. He regdrdpri failure of the Soviet Government to ertivii.ij Socialism as due to their non-Utopian nicthrxlj. vvii.ii. a uuuLruiC lllbleaii 01 a vision.

He thought Russia would uUi. mately fall back into a State largely made of psasant proprietor with its industry by foreign capitalists. The Marxians couM not overcome the fact that when the men in con- trol got control they became different from the people they ruled over. wfaen the WHr came Qn staU. to be iaocqUate.

They h.l Utopia ready, hal the uorl orld mm nce'ird if civilisation was to be saved was a Stat. The idea of a League of Nation HTj big enough. Europeans, said Mr. Wells teiided to reiy politically on American support, and he showed that the situation in America te entirely different. The idea of a WOrld State was rendered necessary hv the Tv- i means or coinmnnication.

and this involved a complete change of political life. The main air routes of the future were overland routes, whereas the British Fninire was- an ocean Empire. In the future it would be impossible to protect our sea" routes against submarines and aircraft, and if we trifd to connect by air we had to go over foreign State? The great new problem of air transport might be strangled by the present ridiculouslv restricted State frontiers. He often found i impossible to convey to an American how im. possible European boundaries are.

if an American wanted to go from New York to St, Louis he got in a train and went, but if w. wanted to go from London to Warsaw we had to get passports, be examined at frontiers, change our money, re-book and suffer man inconveniences. Then it was as difficult to gel back. Even then one had not travelled as far as from-New York to St. Louis.

The countries he would travel through from London to War. saw were no bigger than Texas. Therefore if one spoke of France- as a nation one wanted a different name for tbe United States. This caused the American to have totally different political ideas. The idea of a League of Nation? was all right for America but too small for Europe.

Tht European situation was more intense as Euiopl was saturated by narrow patriotisms. We must stop talking of British people, French people, and German people, and think only of civil isation.or civilisation would perish. National, isation and aggressive patriotisms must be aU tacked and the idea of one supreme ruling State taught The new State must be heir to all. An international mind was needed. A Euro, pean State alone was not enough.

The idea had to be got into the minds of Indians, Arabs, and other Easterns. This could be done. Means of propaganda were infinitely greatef than ever before. As an example'of how ideal cari be spread he instanced the spread of Christianity and Islam. If -ideas could t4 spread then they could be spread much mora rapidly now.

Religions also could help because all the great religions at bottom were international and could not sanction State divisions although they might tolerate thera. LIVERPOOL SHIPPING. Arrived.
