THE HAGUE PARLEY
PASSES INTO HISTORY
Failed to Reach an Economic
Accord With Soviet Russia.
A despateh from The Hague' says:—
The United States Government figured'
in the eiosng scene of The Hague Con-
ference, which on Thursday passed
into history without accomplishing its
aim -the reaching of an economic ae-
cord with Soviet Russia, M. Cattier,
of Belgium, made the statement at
the final, session at the Peace Palace
that he was authorized by the Amer-
ican Charge d'A feirs to say that the
United States Government would ad-
here to the resolution which had just
been adopted, whereby the Govern
menti engaged Scat to assist any of
their citizens in attempts to acquire
property ]n Russia which: belonged to
citizens of other efountries and was
confiscated since November, 1917.
The United States, he added, had
no intention of departing from its lune
of conduct with regard' to property
expropriated in Ruseia.
The resolution itself gave else to
some debate, France, through M.
MARK AGAIN TAKES i RAIL STRIKE "KEY"
DECIDED DROP
Germany's Coffers Empty Af-
ter Payment of Reparations
Installment.
A despatch from Berlin says: --
The bottom has dropped out ef the
mark again. It has passed' the `500
to the dollar ratio without stopping
end now nobody knows where it is
going to stabilize,
• Bankers to -day are more concerned
than ever before ever the mark's
tumbles, What frightens them most
is the Iese of confidence in the mark
by* holders abroad; the Berlin Bourse
is being forced dawn day outside pres-
sure. As long as foreign geiders
maintained c'onfd�ence panics within
passed rapidly and the Reichsbank
was always ,able to -cheek the fall by
*reeving foreign values on the
market.
But the last reparations payment.
of more than 32,000,000 gold marks.
emptied the gold coffee% Now comes
the question of Entente financial con.-
tree
on
trot, which has a tendency to destroy
inner confidence and Ride in the ;gen-
eral. depression of 'the mark.
Financial control was never before
considered a serious danger. It was
always believed the Government could
either forestall *control or show the
Entente the books behind the scenes,
but now i'he Reparations Commission's
derision is announced at Paris to
check the German budget with the
power of the -veto on expenditure bills,
besides supervision of imports and
exports. The public believes that Ger-
man sovereignty is actually threat-
ened,'
A big depreciation of the mark is
foreseen, with no means of raising
salaries, etc., to meet rising prices.
A few months, ago living expenses
in Germany figured tenfold what they
were before the war. They are now
figured at a hundredfold,

"And you say you lost control of

TO U.S. SITUATION
President Declares its Settle.
m,ent First is Best Mode
of Procedure.
A despatch from Washington
..ay's;—President Harding and his ad-
visers are turning to the -rail strike
as the "key" in�'the existing industrial
crisis. The President, it is said, has
decided that the quickest and surest
way to avert a catastrophe is by set-
tling first the railway strike ,and then
the coal strike.
The first move in this direction is
expected to bo made on Friday- fol-
lowing the Cabinet session, when, it
was intimated by a member of the
Administration, the President will call
to Washington for a joint conference
of railway executives and strike
Ieaders, •
The decision that the rail strike is
the "ksy" to the situation, is based
upon the fact that even if an adequate
supply of coal is mined as a result of
the executive's invitation to State
Governors to encourage miners, it
wvould not be possible to move the
coal with the roads partially tied up
by strike and the present poor con-
ditioir of locomotive power and rolling
stock.
President Harding also, it is said,
has discerned a weakening in the
arbitrary stand by the railway exe-
cutives, and believes that exertion of
administrative pressure previous to
and during a joint conference will re-
sult in successful arbitration. of the
differences between employer and em-
ploye, which is now said to exist sole-
ly on the refusal of the railway man-
agers to concede old seniority stand-
ing to strikers who return to work.
Only two persons in Canada had in-
conres of more than one million dal-
lars during the last fiscal year, ac -
wetting to income tax returns. For
the same year nineteen -corporations
paid income tax on incomes in excess
of this sura. , Altogether there were
194,257 persons paying income tax in
the Dominion.
idea was that githough the property
had been seized' by the Bolsheviks it
was legally left ' n of
egal y in the po�ssessro
foreigners, and that In the resolution
the use of the present tease of the
verb should clearly record this fact.
Tho amendment was repealed.
The resolution ooneernin'g expro-
priated property, adopted by the con-
ference reads;
"The Conference recommend far
consideration of the Governments re
presented thereupon the desirability
of all Governments not assisting t1 eir
nationals in attempting to acquire
property in Russia which belonged to
other foreign nationals and was con-
fiscated since November 11, 1917,
without the ^consent of such former
owners or concessionaries, provided
some recognition subsequently is made
by the Governments represented at
The Hague conference to all the Gov-
ernments not represented, and that no
decision shall be reached except •aint
ly with these Governments."
No Russian Baby Baptism.
A despatch from Moscow says:—
The baptizing ef children will not be
allowed in Russia in the future. The
Supreme council of the ehureh, which
Is under Soviet control, is elaborating
a new church law dealing with bap-
tism. In this the age of baptism is
fixed at 18, and the consent of the
person concerned must be obtained in
writing and filed with the authorities.
LEADER CHOSEN BY
MANITOBA FARMERS
John Bracken.is New Chief
and Will be Next Premier 1
of Province.
A despatch from Winnipeg urea.—
John
ays:
John Bracken, aged 39, a native of
Ontario, graduate of the Guolph Agri-
cultural College, and for some years
principal of the Manitoba A.gricul-
tural Coliege, is to be the next Pre-
mier of Manitoba. He was the choles,
unanimous, it is understood, of the
United Farmer members -elect of the
Legislature as their . political leader
and that post carries with it auto-
matically successiee to Hon. T. C.
Norris as Prime Minister. Announ�ee-
ment of this seleotbon and acceptance
was made on Friday night at six
byBarclay, a cwt-4sleet
.clockrc m k>$r
oC. a
Y.
for Springfield, who was chairman at
the conference.
Mr. Bracken's selection came as
sante nig of a surprise, IIe has taken
no active part in public life, and has.
not been identilled with the farmers'
political movement,
It is assumed Bracken will receive
a summons from the Lieutenant -Gov-
ernor to form a Government, and that
he will accept the responsibility and
ask for time to choose his colleagues.
Mr. Bracken. was not a candidate in
the elections, and et is thought he will
seek election in The Pas, one of the.
deferred seats, represented in the last
House by Hon. Edward Brown, who
probably will return to private life,
With the e:ompletion -ef the election
count far Winnipeg city and an-
nouncement of the return of four
Labor candidates, two Liberals, two
Conservatives, one Progressive and
one Independent, the standing of the
parties in the Legislature is' shown to
be as follows.
United. Farmers, 24; Progressives,
1; Independents, 8; Liberals, 7; Con-
servatives, 6; Labor, 6; ds ferreade 3;;
tetra', 55.
In the last Howse, at dissolution,
there were 18' Independent Farmers,
21 Liberals, 7 Conservatives, 10 Labor
and 4 Independents. All of the organ-
ized parties lost to the farmers, for
whom it was thheir first provan�ciall
can -metre
With the support of R. W. Craig,
the Winnipeg Progressive, and con-
oed3ng them two of the deferred' elec-
tions, the Farmers w11 have 27 seats,
or an actual minority, but there is a
very general opinion that Independent
support will be forthcoming in suffi-
cient measure to relieve the situation
of any embarrassment to the Govern-
ment 'which is to come into being.
Farmer Party returned the largest
group in Manitoba elections.
C.N.R. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
TENDER RESIGNATION TO GOVERNMENT
A despatch from Toronto says:—
The following official statement was
issued from the head office of the
Canadian. National Railway on Thurs-
day evening:
"At a meeting of the Board, of Di -
redone of the Canadian National Rail-
ways, held to -day, the melmbers of that
Board tendered their resignations to
the Government.
"These re�nationa are prelimin-
ary to the' appointment of the single
Board of Directors which will succeed
the separate 'boards of the Canadian
National Railways and the Grand
Trunk Railway. This will afford the
Government a free hand in the 'selec-
tion of the new Directors.
"'Such selection may not be com-
pleted immediately, but'in the mean-
time the interests of the Government
Raiiwayis ,will not suffer, as the pre-
sent Defectors will continue to set
until their resignations _have been
formally accepted."
NATIONAL TROOPS
CAPTURE LIMERICK
Rebels Are Expected to Make
Their Final Stand in Co*.
A despatch from Dublin says:—
Limerick and Waterford have been
practically :cleared ef irregulars, and.
are 'completely in the -hands of the
National forces. The Free Staters took
large numbers of pr!s'•)ners in both
cities.
Waterford was 'Galen on Thursday.
During the night the atteekers cross-
ed the Suir River unobserved in light-
ers and ferryboats, about two miles
bevlow the city, Working quietly up
to East Side, they surprised the ir-
regular garrisons, and in a short time
had all the insurgent positions in the
Hotel San Reginald's Tower in their
possession.
Around. Limerick the Nationals
have been hampered by the destruc-
tion wrought by the irregulars, and
by the flying columns. Much of their
attention during the last few days has
been directed to clearing up these
obstacles.
The extregaiar positions were sub-
jected: to fire from field' guns en Fri-

ed from sniping and ambushes. Grad-
