Proposals for tho formation of a corporation capitalised at 10,000,000 for the purpose of facilitating tratje between Russia and threat Britain, which it. is understood had been approved by the government and Leonid Krassin, Russian Soviet representative, are announced by the London Times.

FOR THREE Clare, Waterford and Kilkenny Specified Dublin Alive With Rumors of De Valera Manifesto Leader Believed to Have Reached City; Message Expected DUBLIN7, Jan. 4. An official proclamation extends the martial law area from today to counties Clare, Waterford and Kilkenny and to the city of Waterford.

WARNING GIVEN Martial law was proclaimed by Dublin castle over the city and county ofCork, the city and county of Limerick and the counties of Tip- perary and Kerry on December 10. Dublin city and the county of Dublin were not Included in the martial law district. Ia an announcement to the house of commons the same day, Lloyd George, declared the Intention of the British government to put down lawlessness In Ireland, and said that if conditions should warrant it the interdicted area would be extended. TWO RUMORS DUBLIN, Jan. 4.

Two rumors spread rapidly through Dublin this evening one that a manifesto to the Irish people would be issued by Eamonn De Valera tonight; the other that De Valera had come to Dublin. Confirmation of either could not be obtained in quarters usually well informed on Sinn Fein affairs. It is considered not unlikely, however, that some message will be forthcoming from De Valera in a day or two. The public may never know how Eamonn De Valera managed to reach Ireland. It is believed that the means by which he landed in Ireland will be kept a cloae secret, as other Sinn Fein leaders absent from the country may find it necessary to utilise the same plan.

"With the exception of one member of the Dail Eireann, who had previously a short visit to his native land, it is not believed that the others residing in the United States will come to Ireland in the near future. ARREST FORBIDDEN De Valera's presence in Ireland has been generally taken to mean a marked acceleration of the negotiations to find a basis of peace acceptable to both sides. Since his arrival the Dail Eireann has not held a meeting, but one may be arranged soon. It is reported in what is considered reliable circles that orders have been received from London forbidding the crown forces to arrest De Valera. The tension prevailing in Dublin before Christmas has greatly re laxed.

MacSwiney, of New York, brother of the Vdte lord mayor of Cork, Terence MacSwiney, and Daniel O'Callaghan, present lord mayor of Cork, arrived in this port tonight as stowaways on the United IStates steamer West Canon from Cork.

"I don't w''u to be considered discourteous to the preps." the lord mayor said when seen in jail, "but I prefer to nothing until I Imie had my Matua defined by the proper II Free Cattle Before Long Removal of British Embargo Imminent Beaverbrook Work ing Hard for Canada CALGARY.

NO RAW DEAL FROM BRITAIN Canadian Bacon All Purchased, Food Controller States Ministry Is Always Considering Dominion Interests; Decontrol Now on Way LONDON. Jan. 4. The British food controller, when Interviewed today by the Canadian Associated Press, Bald the sketements made by press dispatches from Canada that Britain had postponed the decontrolling of Canadian bacon was incorrect and based on a complete misunderstanding. Mr.

McCurdy, the controller, stated that he had made arrangements which he believed will entirely satisfy Canadian producers. The whole exportable surplus of Canadian bacon made from hogs killed to the end of December has been purchased by the food ministry, he added, and Cana dian bacon made from hogs killecl this year will be allowed to come for ward on private account through the ordinary trade channels. There were no grounds for sug gestlng that Canada had been "get ting a raw deal from Great Britain, the food controller declared. The premium paid for Canadian bacon in 1920, compared with all other supplies purchased In America or Eur ope, had been higher than was ever paid in a free market, whether reckoned in sterling or Canadian currency. The food ministry had always purchased the total Canadian output without limit of quantity, and had endeavored In every way to consider Canadian interests.

Negotiations for the general decontrol of bacon supplies were proceeding satisfactorily, Mr. MoCurdy added. U.S. TREASURER RESIGNS WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.

Kxcept for the presentation of figures, which some of the witnesses heard were nimble to place in the hands of the commissioners immediately, and the, preparation of its report, the work of the tariff commission, so far an public hearings is concerned, has been completed. BOUNTY FOR MINES The last "witness, George F. of Ottawa who pleaded for a bounty to assist the development of tho iron mines of the Gatineau district, was heard this afternoon and the two duys' sitting of the commission here was concluded at 5.30 this A number of statements are to' tie tiled by witnesses and certain statistics which the Canadian Manufacturers' Association wishes to place before the commission are to be forwarded as soon as the necessary information can be secured from abroad. The commissioners have a mass of documents before them which have been filed as briefs and exhibits by witnesses at the different hearings all over the Dominion, and it is expected that thiH collection will be largely augmented by written submissions which will probably reach the commissioners from various sources before they have finished digesting the evidence already collected. The sittings here opened yesterday morning with Sir Henry Drayton and Senator Robertson conducting the hearing.

Hon. S. V. Tolmle, who is also a member of the commission, did not return from Victoria to take part In the Ottawa sittings, but was with the commission during several of its hearings. Whether or not-the commission will bring down a report previous to the time the budget reaches the House of Commons during the coming session has not been Intimated, but it is generally expected that any tariff changes in the budget will be based, at least in great measure, on the decisions rpached by the commissioners as a result of their tour, which has lasted since the middle of September and included hearings in all the important centres in both the Kast and West.

U' Six Divisions Mass on Bessarabian Frontier Recapture of Province Believed to Be Aim of Moscow Would Also Try to Hasten British Trade Pact by Display of Arms PARIS, Jan. 4. The French government is concerned over unofficial despatches telling of ihe concentration of six new divisions of the Russian Bolshevik army on the frontier of and all along the Dniester River. The reports indicate that Moscow is preparing tin attack for the purpose of trying to regain the province of Bessarabia. NO MORE ACUTE The Associated Press is informed at the Roumanian legation in Paris that the Bolshevik menace, while always at the door of Roumania, Is no more acute today than for sev- eral months past The legation had ma" confirmation of the despatches announcing that all Roumanian rail- waymen had been mobilised, and that the King was reported to nave sign ed a decree calling several classes to the colors.

A despatch received today from the Roumanian foreign minister, M. Jon- escu, said that all was quiet in Rou mania, and made no mention of military preparations or the reported Bolshevik! menace. It was explained at the legation that Roumania was neither at peace nor at war with Russia. In a recent exchange of notes between Roumania and Moscow, the Bolshevik! denied they intended to move egainst Roumania, but the possibility that the Bolshevik! are making an attempt to take back Bessarabia Is not denied by the Roumanians. HASTEN AGREEMENT French official circles would not be surprised at a Bolshevik! attack against Roumania, and it Is pointed out that such a move would have a two-fold purpose one to retake Bes sarabia, and the other to hasten a trade agreement with Britain by a display of military force.

I Leader of Unionists Quits for Good, Says Times Will Go to Receive Ulster's Thanks at Farewell Ceremony North Ireland Prepares for Pomp at Opening of Parliament LONDON.

Ulstermen are preparing to make the opening of the parliament for Northern Ireland as picturesque and pompous as possible endeavoring to obtain the consent the King personally to open the first session, or to have the Prince of Wales do so If the King Is unable to be present, says the London Times. The newspaper adds that starting the Ulster parliament Is a fairly simple proposition, but that the crux of the problem will be mei dn Southern Ireland. However, It says, the government has virtually decided upon a bold course. Final decision has not yet been taken, but, according to the Times, the government has practically resolved to reject the ad vice of cautious advisers to defer. elections for the Southern parliament until the results of the Ulster ex-pertmenf are seen, and to bring the act into operation 1n both areas eum-ultaneously, having elections for two parliaments concurrently.

4. In a report to the department of trade and commerce, P. W. Ward, Canadian trade commissioner at Capetown, reports that the South African market is flooded at the present time with imported fiour. The government, he says, has from 15.000 to 20,000 tons of its flour purchased from Canada lying idle la Its warehouses.

The new season's crop promises well, with the result that there does not ecem a. possibility of any further shipments of fiour or wheat being required from Canada for many months. He was for two years assistant pro- of language, so Sir fessor of humanity at Edinburgh and Henry Drayton and the government came to Canada in September, 1895, were able to stall it for a year. They being appointed principal of McGill would have liked to defer it taidefl-University that year. He is survived nitely, but it couldn't be done, and CART PLACED BEFORE HORSE Tariff Policy Shaped First, Inquiry Conducted Afterward Not Much Relief Is Expected; Value Proven in Evidence, But Working is Costly (Special to The Phoenix) OTTAWA, Jan.

4. The tariff in-quiry, which endied today, is a curious case of putting the cart bc- ure the horse' instead of having an investigation and shaping the policy in the light of it. the government adopted it policy first and Inquired Jifterwands. Undei' the clrcumstaji-. oes, it is dear that not much by way of tariff relief ia to be expected.

The investigation has been expen- and all parts of the country nave been covered, a mass of facts and allegations secured, and a lot of public money expended. Sir Henry Drayton tins shown both courtesy and tact in handling It, but, again, the question arises as to whether the game really is worth the candle INQUIRY FORCED There would have been no inquiry this year and no attempt pt revision had there been a way out. It was not what the government wished to do, so much as what It was forced to do. Sir Thomas White, a couple of years ago, when the Unionist low tariff men started a stampede to the cross benches, promised an inquiry in the following year, and this held tome who were wavering. But thero waa a joker in, the pack and certain t'o the investigation hais gone on as btated.

There Is no question that it ha.s been established that the tariff is a grejtt thing for certain industries nnd very hehpful In keeping out competition, but it ir; clear also that to maintain it, it costs Canada a tremendous amount compared with the benefits derived. Yesterday's evidence, for example, about milk utensils, is a case in point. The Canadian protected industry does not it does, the price here is away above what it is in the States. Everybody uses milk and has to pay a tariff toll in conseqquertce. House Collapses; Several Injured I NEW YORK, Jan.
