next Tuesday when important decision will be It is proceeded Sir James that leaden on this side should understand that 1 have a unanimoui loyalist Ulster at my back during the critical period that lies immediately ahead 1 have no doubt on that score I believe that Ulster will emerge triumphantly from what looks at present like an impasse Throughout my voyage I was fully informed by wireless and by the receipt of home paper of everything that bes transpired so far noted with pleasure the publication of Lord Birken letter to Lord Balfour though it makes no difference whatever in my attitude not to appoint a representative on tbe Boundary Commission For one reason among many others to do so would take away from us the right of appeal against any decision that the Boundary Commission if ever set up might A story of Huddersfield min who took photographs of the Prince of Wales during his recent trip to New York on the Berengaria is told by Mr Dewson a son of Mr Harry Dawson wool merchant of Birkby Grange Huddersfield Mr Dawson was crossing on business as a representative of his firm and it is stated that shortly before New York waa reached the Prince consented to receive Press representatives on the bridge and to permit photographs to be taken The correspondent of a well-known Nsw York paper who happened to be sharing a table with Mr Dawson was unaccompanied by a photographer but knowing that Mr Dawson possessed a camera and was skilful in its use suggested that he should take the photographs which were badly wanted by his paper This Mr Dawson gladly consented to do He wa introduced to the entourage and then conducted to the bridge where he was very kindly received by the Prince He duly took h-s place among the official camera men and succeeded in taking a number of very good pictures of his Royal Highness which were developed and printed on board the boat Both Mr Dawson and the Pressmen were delighted with the results of the arrangement and subsequently through the instrumentality of General Trotter one of the equerries Mr Dawson had the good fortune to obtain the signature cm one of the prints He therefore possesses an excellent souvenir of his journey across the Atlantic with the Prince of Wales Inquiries were made at Birkby Grange last night about this story but Mr Harry Dawson said he had had no confirmation of it Sisters

ejeot a widow and family Immediately the party motored up to the house scouts on the look-out set off throughout the district ringing hand-bell3 end blowing whistles the pre arranged signal that an eviction was taking place Scon a crowd of fully 500 including many workmen gathered The sheriL officers at proceeded with the eviction and carried part of the household effects into the street With the gathering of the -crowd however many people swarmed into the kouge and hampered the work to such extent that they were compelled to stop Meanwhile the widow who was very excited had seizure and a doctor was summoned With the growing dimensions of the crowd and the open hostility shown towards them the sheriff's officers ultimaf elv withdrew" As they returned to their motor-ear to driv off thev were pelted with clods c' grass stones and other missiles Afterwards the crowd carried the furniture hack into the house Subsequently several Labour town councillors addressed the crowd and a local committee has been set up to organise a campaign of resistahee should the house factors decline to join the rent tribunal A general rent strike all over the district may io declared HOUSE FACTORS AND THE RENT TRIBUNAL The Clydebank rent strike and evictions were considered last at a meeting of the Glasgow House Owners and House Association along with a letter from the Town Clerk of Clydebank that representatives be appointed to act the Rfcut Tribunal proposed by the Scottish Labour in their rent report The aecretary was instructed to reply to the effect that they were prepared to appoint representatives to the tribunal under certain conditions DISCOUNTED Mr Theory LLOYD GEORGE DESIRES TO USURP POWER OF MR Mr Shinwell Parliamentary Secretary of the Mine Department addressing a gathering of miners at Winchburgh near Edin-bnrgh on Thursday said that that flying visit of his and the campaign which he pro- sed to conduct in his constituency shortly must not be connected in any way with certain rumours about a General Eloction Nothing was further from his mind In his opinion there was no issue upon which a General Election could be sprung upon the country He said that Mr Lloyd George who claimed to speak on behalf of the Liberal Party had been throwing threats at tho Government It might le he said that Mr Lloyd George desired a General Election to satisfy his vanity and to give him power which for the moment was vested in Mr Asquith No doubt Mr Lloyd Georgo had heard of Paisley and recognising the somewhat precarious position which Mr Asquith occnpied in that constituency ardently desired a General election not so much for the purpose of bringing down the Labour Government as for tho purpose of displacing Mr Asquith Tho Labour Government refused to permit their serenity to bo disturbed They would when expedient in their opinion consult the country on vital issues of paramount importance to the people of this country but these issues would bo determined not by tho Liberals but by the Labour Party MINORITY RULE DIFFICULTY He would venture to say that the Labour Government had come successfully through a Parliamentary Session of a unique character Efforts ma-j to discourage the Labour Government had become notorious So far these efforts had had tho effect of making the Labour Party stronger than when it got into power Their path had 1 een beset with difficulties They were a minority Government and indeed this point alono entitled them to tho support of the electorate of this country more than if they had been a majority Government Unemployment intoleral'i housing conditions high prices small wages displeased pensioners depressed trade and generally confused conditions throughout the world that was the legacy passed on to tho Labour Government For these things the present Government was not to blame The present Government could lay claim to having done things that other Governments had failed to do The success of the'r efforts for world pence was outstanding and on that alone they were entitled to receive the support of tho country i Sir Alex Gilt MONEY INVESTED AS ENDOWMENT OF A MOTOR-CAR In view of tfce

interview with -the Press Association's Lossiemouth correapondent yesterday the Prime Minister eaid he was vtyry unwilling to go into tho circumstances of tho allotment to him last March of 30000 McVitie and Price shares but in fairness to his old friend Sir Alexander Grant the managing director he had to do so The shares he explained were allotted to him foe the endowment of a motor-car which was presented to him by Sir Alexander and which he (the Premier) felt he could not afford tv keep if he went out of office At his (the death the shares would revert to the Grant family The

Daimler car I explained that would bare been quite content with hiring one as when I left office I would probably be a poorer man but I will endow rejoined Sir Alexander I was at ill unwilling because I did not farcy myrelf the owner of a car and was against my simple habit It a long time before I was persuaded to agree and there are letters in existence which reveal the minds of both of us In the end however I agreed with the arrangement That Arrangement wns that a sum of money wa to be invested in my name and the income from it I was to enjov during my lifetime so long as 1 kept a ear At my death it is to to Sir Alexander Grant or his heir That the full said the Premier I am sick at heart to have to talk of this but I must protect my dear old friend in the enjoyment of the honour which the so worthily bestowed upon him and with which this act of personal kindness to myself had as much to do as the man in the moon" Admitted during week: With recommendations attending the Infirmary 6S

he was not responsible for his actions wae returned at the inquest at Leeds on Thursday on Mr Hugh Gerald Evelyn-White (40) a lecturer at Leeds Univewaty who hot himself in a taxi-oab while on hi way to attend the inquest on Mise Helen May Nind (35) an Exeter music teacher who took pomon at a Leeds hotel The Rev Charles A Evelyn-White a master at St School Leatheihead aaid his brother had told him that Mlse Nind had been pursuing him and he had definitely told her that he had no affection tor her He eeemed upeet that Miss Nind had threatened to take her life The Coroner (Mr Clarke) I think the word pursue is the proper word to apply to a dead girl Mr Evelyn-White Well he made it quite dear to her twelve months ago that be no longer had any affection for her The Coroner (quoting from a letter of the late Mr Evtlyn-Whito) I knew there was a curse on me though I bad leave to take manuscripts to Cairo The monks told me the curse would work all the same" Do you think that statement oondstent with a perfectly balanced mind? No I say it is ATTRACTED BY HER LONELINESS Dr Maxwell-Telling said he had attended Mr Evelyn-White who was very sensitive for nervous condition due to over-work and worry 11c was sure that the cause of the attraction Mr Evelyn-White felt for Misa Nind was her loneliness He was satisfied that the association of the two was quite innocent The Coroner There was no formal engagement between them? That is so Marriage was only contemplated if they remained of the same Yes Later I think Mr Evelyn-White formed the opinion that the depth of his affection was not such as to warrant a life-long partnership Tiiat is so And Mise Nind had other Yea ahe was deeply religio is girl and she took the view that God had given him to her She was also a deeply sensitive girl I should any Certainly and a thoroughly good girl Do you know that Mr Evelyn-White remonstrated with her about the intensive nature of some of her letters to him and pointed out they were liable to be misconstrued Yes that is so "NOTHING Dr Maxwell-Telling added that on the day following Mr Evel vri-White death he received a Ittter from him posted the previous day in Cambridge in which he said You knew the whole story and that I have done nothing wrong You Icdow too how I have tned for rears to safeguard her For my sake will you try to make it known generally that there was no wickedness only the hitterest misfortune God forgive her 1 had come to believe latterly that ehe did not mean it Now it is all ovr She must have suffered horribly Do not let the reflection that I was wicked or brutal rest on those I love God help them and me My only fault wa the rashness of inexperience Why should two innocent of wrong be blasted like this?"

Bureau of agreeing with Lord view of the scope of Boundary Commission states thst he cannot imagine that eminent Judge who has been called from South Africa to assist the present Government to interpret that treaty will come to wiki and unreasonable dec sions which could tear up the terri-tory of Ulster and leave it a a province with nothing but an inconsidered remnant of its land end No such suggestion has ever been made but Mr Lloyd George was of those responsible for tearing up Ulster in the first instance Tbe Government of Ireland Act 1990 divided the province into two areas of six emd three counties respectively It was passed at a time when the right of British Parliament to divide Ireland was denied by the great majority of representative The unhappv plan for gerrymandering Ulster brought into being by this Act ignored the views of no less than 430000 Nationalists who were cut off by it from the Government of their choice Clause 12 of tbe treatv was drawn up to remedy this state of affoirs The Boundary Commission will provide an opportunity for giving effect to the wishes of these people in tbose district where they are in a majority whether by parishes or some more convenient area When a boundary line has been drawn which give proper effect to the wishes of the inhabitants it can then he rectified according to the economic and geographic conditions prevailing But it only when a boundary has been drawn which respects the widhes of inhabitant that any such rectification is required If the intent on of Clause 12 were merely to rectify the existing boundaries of the six counties if it were merely to transfer a bridge here and a railway station there or it suit some natural configuration of mountain or river there would not seem to be much neces ty to inquire into the of the inhabitant Mr Lloyd George pointed out on December 14 1921 that is no doubt certainly since the Act of 1930 that the rrxnoritv of the people of two counties prefer hieing with thp'r Southern neghb ur to he ng in the Northern Pa-Ivament and a'though 1 am against the coercion of Ulster I do not believe in Ulster coercing other It is for the Boundary Comm
