assent of ding George, who had hur-

the House of lords without amend-
ment So Great Britain's first Labor
Government came to an end with a
general election fixed ror Oct. 29, in-
stead of Nov, 8, as had been exPected.
The fact that the Premier remained
with the King for an 1Sjux instead of
the few minute's u ual in the case of
a fort tal ministerial 's•esi nation, lends
weight to the runnerthat the Throne
objected st ong:y to authorizing an
e:actio r en an issue which merely in-
volved the conduct of the Attorney
General in dropping a sedition case.
Proceedings during the prorogation
in the I --louse of Cmoxons Tiara purely
formal. ' But a great dssronstration
awaited Mr, MacDonald at the Labor
party conference, which has been, by
a coincidence, meeting in London dur-
ing the present political crisis The
Prime Minister came to the meeting
direct from the Palace. Here the Labor
leader delivered a bitter speech, which
indicatesthe unrestrained language
which is likely to be used by all sides
during the campaign.
"1Vlurder,had been plotted and plan-
ned, and it came off," he declared, in

ing an• investigation of the •dropping
of charges against JameseR. Camp
bell, Communist editor of the, Workers'
Weekly, who had been acensed of in-
citing troops to mutiny. The Govern-
ment has pledged its word that politi-
cal considerations had nothing to do
with the case, and so Labor regarded
the demand for an inquiry as an in-
sult to the integrity of its ministers.
The present composition of the
House of Commons' membership Is as
follows:
Conservative 246, Labor 187, Lib-
eral 156, Ulster Unionist 11, Co-
operative 6, Independent 8, Indepen=

The total membership of the House

the marsh is of great advantage to the
stock farmers. If at any time the
land needs reviving, the dike gates are
opened fora while so that the tide
can come in and deposit a. fresh layer
of soil. They'are not, however, equally
good for all crops, but are best for
grasses and grains, to which they are
almost entirely given up. The grasses,
the usual upland English hay grasses,
grow very tall, very dense, and of
very superior quality, luxuriant but
not rank. No attempt is made to take
two crops a year, though some farm-
ers allowtheircattle to fatten' on the
rich aftergrowth. The only cultivation
conaists in an occasional plowing, on
