the report of the commission .on "The

Lord Balfour, of Burleigh, is the chair.

to make a decided pronouncement upon

The commission conclieded its report,

The commision heads the lists of its

the right of entry for Christian missions,
the report says:
"Irisorouch as the results of mission-
ary enterprises are now so evident and
have extended. over so long a period
thtat their general beneficient effect is
demonstrated, we think that it may rea-
sonably be asked of all 'Christian Gov-

good offices with those of other nations
for the free admission and exercise ol
missionary endeavor; and further, that
such interposition may be justified by
Ore -Governments, not on grounds Of re-

humanity, on account of the beneficent
influence of missions, and upon the com-
mon eight of mankind to receive such

THE POLITICAL
CONFERENCE
Leaders Now Trying to Find a Solu.
tion of the D:fficulty.
.R.OPT9Tr...TIPP
Asquith Believed to be Anxious For
a Settlement,
444444414.14,4
The Laborites and the Nationalists
Are Divided on Subject,
London, jun conference of
the British political leaders ie at lest
under way, The comparative seereey
with wbich the initial arrangements are
made and the conference started is, take
en as suggestive of the manner in which
it will be carried on. It is unlikely
that anything reliable will be known of
the proceedings until the Government
discloses them officially, Many think
there will be no agreement for several
months, irthen. The composition et the
conference committee is, however, gen-
erally eegavded as favorable as etreum-
stances will allow. The inclusion of
Chief Secretary for Ireland Birrell great-
ly pleases the Radicals, who think his
presence will go a long way to reassure
the Irish, who, 11 18 well known, are not
enamored of the conference, Moreover,
they feared inclusion of Lord letreburn,
whose liberal, legal mind does not ap-
peal to the ardor of encouraging parti-
sans. The absence of all the limitations
and conditions to govern the conference
is greeted with satisfaction every -where.
The attitude of the various political fac-
tions remains unaltered. The extreme
Tories and Radicals alike expect little
and hope less from the deliberations.
They are spoiling for a fight and desire
nothing else. Josiah Wedgewood, M. P.,
hes, also given. notice of a resolution -
which, if it gained the substantial sup-
port of the Liberal party, would, kill all
hope of a compromise. Premier .A.squitlz,
however, who is honestly seeking a eolu-
tion of the constitutional problem, re-
fuses to give facilities for a discussion
of the Wedgewood. resolution. It is
yet too early to say that this will stave
oft the of his intransigoint
flo
The Laborites and the Irish still do
not declare themselves officially. T. P.
O'Connor again expresses misgiving con-
cerning the negotiations because he is
unable to see how the Ministers cart
abandon the irreducible minimum al-
ready expressed in their veto resolutions
in the House of Commons, Mr. O'Con-
nor thinks anyway the negotiations are
perilous to both parties and perilous to
the respective leaders; who have entered
on them. Each of them, he says, takes
Itis political life in his hands.
The attitude of the insurgent Irish to-
wards the conference is summed up in a
slashing interview' Wm, O'Brien game.
He said: "The conference marks the col-
lapse of :Redmond's last excuse for the
recent action of his party. His only de-
fence for inflicting £3,500,000 sterling
additional taxation Annually on Ireland
by the votes of her own representatives
on the budget and on Birrell's act for
the suspension of land purchase, was
that Ireland would in return see the
vetoof the House of Lords abolished
within a few months, and an Irish Par -
Bement sitting in Dublin. That promise,
is blown sky high by the eonference. Ire-
land is to pay an additional £3,500,000
sterling a year, but home rule and the
abolishment of the Lords' veto are no
longer practical polities. Having squeez-
ed from Redmond all that could be had
in the way of plunder of Ireland, Mr.
Asquith has now set Redmond. at dei-
a,nee. Far from obliging Redmond by
killing another King for him, Mr. As-
cicuith has invited Mr. Balfour to settle
the whole dispute by an amicable con-
ference between these two English par-
ties, and those -who e few weeks ago
were posturing as dictators have not
dnred utter a word of protest. To O' -
Connor's attempts to bulldoze the Cabi-
net Mr. Asquith virtually replied by call-
ing it policeman to order O'Connor off
the premises. The conference may or
may not reach an agreement, but it is
certain that the party which wrecke
any chance of agreement will wreck it-
self in a general election. Under no con-
ceivable dreumstance will the conference
egree to smuggle home rule through
Parliament without England's consent.
Redmond's ultimatum of 500 now peers
or revolution has come an ignominious
collapse, like his previous ultimatum, no
veto, or no budget.'"
