London saysl-In moving the second reading of the fish Fa..ee 'St,ate Bill in the Huse of 'Commons ,on ' Thursday, ,Winston. Spencer Churchill, Seeretary for the Colenies, laid stress a the necessity giving arfeet to the treaty by cloth- ing. the Provisional 'Government, aa the treaty, provided, with,lawful pow- '-sers and enablingit to held,an election at the earliest moment. "It is the view of the Trish sign- atories of the treaty," he ',said, "that an Irish Republic had been set- up lost the Irish people at the elections and that the Republic corild only be con- verted, into a Free State by the dee eision of the people. We don't rec- ognize the irieh Republic and never - The obJedits of the proposed 'election, added the Seeretary, were to secure an adequate constituent .assembly, and "a fresh, normal, and, if I may say so, sensible. Parliament in Ireland," Of the present Irish Parliament 1.1,1;.". Churchill deelared that it -was not chosen because of the fitness 01 itas members to govern hut because they were thought to he most ohm:does to Great Britain and men who hated England most. The alrieh Minister must know where he stood. Some peo- ple felt they had waited too, long already, but in any- ease the 'sooner' hn election was held the better. The, success of Mr. de Valera at the elee- tion he characteriaed as "ant' ugly hypothesis." "It is perfectly clear that the re, nudiation of the treaty by Ireland would free all parties from their en-, gagements," the Secretary continued, '"and the position of Britain staniling.1 on the ft ealiy'and aeacly tD carry it outl if the ,otheis syere, behielf , of the Iriela nation Ip 06,:their Part,1 would be a pa:sit-ion Of great moral, as well as undoubted material etrength.i "The position, •all Southern Ireland,1 on the ether hand, would be one of the greatest weakness and difficulty, absolutely isolated from the synapathy s'sli the world and bitterly divided in herself. The position of Northern Ire- land would be quite unaffected." All the Government's inforination led it to feel that sueli,an assumption as the SulepeS; or dc -Valera was 1111-. correct, "In any case,', added the Sec- retary, "it would be a -pity for us' to go threatening and blustering at this_ etage and give the impreasion that the Irish people were being. 'made to vote under duress or at the point of the bayonet. If this were indulged in, it coilld afterwards be stated that the vote had been given under duress, tending to ihipair the authority of the decilsion,"" .Allutling to the report of a coup d'etat to overturn the Provieional Gov- ernment, Mr. Churchill said: ''There ar:e those ,who think that the Provi- sional Government'anay be overthrown byes coup d'etat ancl a red Soviet GOV- ernyrkent aet up. The British Govern- enent ae-a not think that at all likely, bat if it were, it la quite clear that a Soviet Republic would ruin the Irish cause for a hiandred years, while not in 'any respect impairing the founda- tion o,f the British Empire or the security of Ulster.

'from. November 3 -last, the Bank of England rate on Thursday Was reduc- ed to 4%, per Cent. The reasons Inc the present reductions are not far to seek, and in many quarters the fall , was regarded as overdue. Owing largely to the depreasion of trade, there has. been almost a superabun- dant supply of money in the market, with the -result that very low rates were quoted for loans fil Lombard Street, and the discount rates for 'bills hadfallen in. company, so that last week the ,Governireent, placed Treast,..trY bills by tenclenajot only a shade over 61 shillingsper cent. The bank rate, therefore, was quite out of touch with market rates.In •addition. the impro-vement of the pormel sterling in America has helped the position nere. .
