A desPatch 'Iron: London says;,—"If the alliance with Japan :could be merged into- a greater unde'rstanding with Japaa and the ,Unitod States on all the problems of the Pacific, that would be a groat event, r,nd it -would bo a guarantee for the peace of the world." Thus spoke David Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister, before the House of Commons on Thursday in outlining the work of the recent con- ference of the Imperial Premiers. The 'ft -envier was dealing specific- ally with the Angle -Japanese alliance at the time, and explaining how the corgerence had unanimously recogniz- ed. that Jitpan loyally had carried out her obligations to Great Britain dur- ing the War in letter and in spirit. Mr, Layil George asked if it was to be suggested that Great Britain now ,should turn her bu.,uck upon japan with a mere thank you and „good-bye, after Japanese aid had proved one of eta t the turning factors in the war, in that it thad given proteetiin td the ,transit of 1)eininion and ie•iian ti-eaps'acrose Even countries diSlikleff, the Anglo - Japanese alliance would d,ospise tho Brtiah 11', alter such services, Great ,Britain turned her back upon japan, The Premier said he Saw no rea- son ,why it should bc impossible to remember obligation's to. Japan and M the same time preserve a spirit of fraternity with the United States. It was a •cardinal principle of Brit - Lail policy', the Premier continued, that Great Britain should act In tus com- plete •accord with the United States 'pessible, Ile did not know of any coutltrY in the world with whom it Naas more important to act in ceneert, He declared that the surest way to make a success of the disarmament confer- ence was. first toe -each an understand- ing on, Pacific questions, and he hoped his, view in this respect would be taken at the Washington gathering. The C °sing Door. ',The door to peace .in Ireland was unlocked by King George in his speech at -Belfast, Lloyd George opened it in his "final appeal" for a conference. It was thrown wide by Jan Sniuts, Premier of South Africa. That door is being closed, by Eamon de Valera, and the Sinn Fein, writes 'the editor of the Philadelphia Ledger. There is a lingering hope in London and Dublin that a way will yet be !titled to avoid the l!eturn to roadside murders ambushes by clay -and by night and the sordid horrors ef "guer- rilla warfare." This hope is without base or conviction. Last week the Britisth Government unexpectedly gave to the world three documents. The first was the British offer of dominion, status to Ireland; -entire self-government, complete autonomy, everything but political in- dependence. The second was De ValeraS reply, demanding complete alai absolute Irish independence. The third was the British rejoin -der to the Irish claim of Irish righ-t to se•cede from the empire. "No such right can ever be acknowledgedbye us," says Lloyd George, who 'points out: "Our proposals present to the Iris.h people an opportunity such as has never dawned in- their history before. We have made them in a sincere de- sire to achieve peace, but beyond them cannot go." a In his reply -cleatnee with these same proposals, De 'Valera has said, in re- jecting • them. "Obviously we are neable to urge acceptance of -such proposals upon OUT petple." Groat Britain has gone as far as she dares to -go. Lloyd George ex- plains the dangers to England' of go- ing any further, reasons that every Englishman knows -and that the world has noted and recognized. This is by no means as far as Sinn Fein ele- mends. The deadlock seems to be coniplete. This is the sum and the pith of the situation. The negotiators dealt with other things, with Ulster, with stiPu- lotions and with guarantees, but the reek that was Struck was the rock of Irish determination' to be...indepentient. Offered independence in practically everything but the name, the Irish would have that or reject all. Lenden and Dublin profess to find hope in the conciliatory tone of the oorrespostclence, It is true that there is neither arroganee nor anger in the eernmunication.s, but there is a note of finality o,ri both sides. The Irish problem that was with- drawn from the world during the ne- gotiations is before it again,. The world will note that Englanci has made the concessions; that Ireland has made none. Great Britain has gone further than the British public expected; further than the world ex- pected. Sinn Fein clings to the one idea, independen.ce or war. What now? Such Iiltlp hope -as re- maine-d of possible 'conciliatory action by the Dail Eireann is shadowed- by word that it will reiterate the demand for inclependerree. The only reply that England can make to this has been made by Lloyd George. r.rhe world has been watching, sit- ting in judgment on Crown and Sinn Fein for months. Its verdict is not Itt....7z..7.70g.7..stast=slarammalcsa=smeat-taromor yet ready-. But Lloyd George has laid his case before the world, and it has streng-then'ed the Ertglish position inn measurably. It will have a profound effect upon public opinion in Eng- land, Ireland, the United States and the world. A world that is weary of strife and the sounds of war will note it -was England who opened the door and made the concessions. In the United States, where the Irish movement has drawn much -of its ,stienigthi, a settle- ment has 'been expected since the out- lines of the British terms were made known. The door is closing. The next, and may -be the last, move possible for a weary time waits upon De Valera. and Sinn. Fein. It is theirs to choose 'be- tween going the road that Canada, South Africa and Australia have chosen, and..found good, -OT that other road that leads to war. LTNK IN EMPIRE WIRELESS CHAIN A RACE FOR HIS LIFE SCOTTISH SCOUTS GO WITH SHACKLETON Chosen by Explorer to Sail on Two Years' Voyage: A despatch front London says: -- Two Scatti-sh boy scouts will shortly embark on a cruise of adventure, such as their comrades throughout the world daily -dream about, ,for Sir Ern- est H. Shackleton, the AntaTetic ex- plorer, has selected them from among 10 competitors to accompany hithi in his coming Antarctic expedition as cabin boys aboard his ship The Quest. The youths are Patrol Leaders J. W. S. Marr of Aberdeen, 'aged 19, and N. E. Mooney of Kirkweal, in the Ork- ney Islands, aged 17. The 10 picked applicants came to London from all parts of the United Kingdom. Sir Ernest 'interviewed them to ascertain their qualifications and found so much talent that he could not make -a de-• eision until Thprscllay. Young Mooney came all the way from the stormy Orkneys, a journey of 600 miles. He had never seen pas- senger railway trains 'before and Vas' First Messages Sent to All so confused by the big city and its • • Stations Within Range. A diespatch front London says :— Hon-. F. G.

There have been famines that have menaced more millions of people than are now threatened in Russia. In famine -stricken districts in India the British have dealt with 70,000,000 peo- ple endangered by lack of food. The trouble in Russia is that -civil- ization, ,government and transporta- tion have broken down. A further dif- ficulty is that the whole population m -any districts has been on the verge of hunger far years. There is no reserve strength in the nation. It is all burned out, wasted, used up in macl experiments. That is what makes the Russien problem the most gigantic job of all famine relief undertakings. The Brit- ish in India were, dealing with an orderly people whq had not been lam- gry-long, and they had rail lines and unaffected -Sections of the land to aid them. There was a trained official class ready to take over the work. In Russia there is none of th-ese things.. Rail and river transportation had ceased to exist in many areas. Roads have not been mended for years. The people have been hungry for a long time. There are no officials accustomed to dealing with such probl'ems. Rain Quenches New Brunslivick Fires A despatch front St. ' John, N.B., says:—A heavy downpour of rain throughout the province on Thursday destroyed the fire men -ace Which still lingered in many parts of New Bruns- wick.

Saskatchewan Farm Brought $84,000 A despatch from Winnipeg, Man, says:—A farm of 1,120 acres, in the Gull Lake district, Sask., sold recently for the suth of $84,000. It was a typical ex- ample of the agricultural pro- gress in prairie districts. An- other indication of agricultural growth with the settlement of new lands is shown in reports on tractor sales.

JOIN SPANISH FOREIGN LEGION British Unemployed Enrol for Service in Morocco. j A despatch from London says:— Scores of unemployed former British service men are reporting daily to the 'Spanish Consulate here for enroll- ment in the Foreign Legion of the Spanish army. information which led to this re- cruiting is said to have been circulated seeretly among the unemployed. Ap- plicants for enlistment are asked only two questions: "Can you fight?" and "Will you fight?" Although the men.are informed of the cle.ngerous nature of the prdspec- tive campaigning against tribesmen in Morocco, they readily enlist in view of the inducements offered. These in - elude a bonus of 709 pesetas for a five-year enlistment, and 400 pesetas for a four-year enlistment. Other at- tractions are eligibility for medals, decoration's and promotion to com- missioned' rank, as well as daily pay of four and one-half pesetas on final acceptance at the headquarters of the Fo-reign Legion in Ceuta, Moro-cco. Volunteers rejected in Ceuta are promised return transportation. It is stated that the number of enlistments acceptable for the ,Foreign Legion is unlimited. The - Leadg: Markets. Toronto.

In its desire to serve all the people of the province M every way possible and to spread the advantages of uni- versity education breaticast over On- tario, the University of Toroato has arranged an extension coarse in Household Seieoce. This course will extend over ten weeks, beginning Oci ober 41h, with two lectures and one laboratory period each -week. It is not a course in fancy -cooking but will deal with foods and diets, food values. and the remise. ansi prevention of mai- mitrition. If, later, there ls e gen- eral demand for a ,course in household management, this will also be ar- ranged. The provincial university has ar- ran,ged 80 many of these extension courses that most people have come to realize that when one wants some- thing in the way of education one should first 'consult the University ef Toronto to ese -allot: it has "tie offer.
