When a Caslliference is Broil 'ght About. A .despoteh from London rays; --Phe Congress of Empire Priam Miinietcrs is, for the time being, cxlipsed by rho Peace negotiations being conducted with the Sinn Foin ,radon's, Premier Jan Christian Smuts of South Africa has thrown the full weight of liis great eloquence and his prestige on the side of an honorable settlement; The British peen of all shades• of politics are standing behind him, and this, aided by the favorable atmos- phere created. by' the presence of the Dominion Prime Ministers in Landon bus unquestionably brought the Irish problem nearer to solution than Tins been the case in the last cluerter of a century. It would bo idle and wrong to pre - told, however, that vast difficulties do not still stand in the way of en agreement. So. far Premier Smuts 1,as been successful, but those who know what is transpiring behind the scenes realize that real obstacles will be encountered whoa the three parties to the dispute --the Bri'ti!sh Govern- ment, North Ulster and the Sinn Fein —meet face to face in conference, From an Trish Nationalist source closely in touuh with Premier Smite and the British Government in the negotiations proceeding, the corres- pondent has been able to learn What Bement de .Valera is likely to pro- pose in the event of his coming to London. Briefly and_ roughly; it is this: I3e will abandon the claim for an Irish republic, but will insist upon a measure of dominion • home rule, with separate Parliament for North Ulster, vested with powers similar to than enjoyed by (. nnlian ]rrevinciel !legislatures, Ho wi'l naso clap lha4 the genteel or Dublin Parliament l c v od with a wide immure cf li,ent autonomy. The Sinn rein leaner, it is said, desires also that the fish Par- liament shall have the right of con- trolling its own army and navy, if these should be found mem:miry. It is believed, hane;cx, that he will advance. this d•omend merely for the sake of 'bargaining and can be induced tee abandon it. He will demand that the Trish •cont3iol the police and post - office departments and will ask for full recognition of the unity of the Irish nation. Prof. de Valera will maintain that the Iriah Parliament should be given the right to decide its own taxation policy and the manner in which Its revenue shall be expended, holding that the power of controlling the taxation of its constituents is in- herent in Parliament. This, of course, involves giving Dublin a'd'ree voice in regard to in- come tax, customs, excise, and also the right of withholding any contri- bution towards the defence of the Em- pire, and it is likely to prove the shoa Aire, •afel it is likely to prove the shoal split. It is almost certain that Pre- mier David Lloyd George will insist upon an Imperial contribution seeing. that the 'Imperial Parliament would remain responsible for defence and foreign affairs, _although, in a last re- sort he niay agree that the Irish Par- liament should, have some veice in the amount to be •contributed as well as in the method by which the actual contribution would be raised from its constituents, University Extension. The Workers' Educational Associa- tion of Ottawa ha .asked the Provin- cial University for assistance in con- ducting classes in that city next win- ter in economies, history, and English, and the request 'leas been cheerfully grar.:•ad. The University of Toronto is most anxious to develop •outside classes of this kind so far as its fin- ances and the size of its staff will permit. During the past winter W. E. A. classes have flourished in Toronto and Hamilton. The W. E. A. is a voluntary organ- ization of men and women 'engaged in industrial pursuits and is largely composed of trades unionists. These men and women are eager to secure the advantages of higher education and cheerfully devote an evening a welt to the study and discussion of present-day economic problemns, of English literature, history, psych- ology, and allied subjects. In Eng- land the W.E.A. has grown to itmnenen proportions, having a membership of over 25,000. To extend its activities into the rural districts and among industrial workers is one of the most important aims of the University of Toronto. In anticipation of the Govermne2it's adoption of the Report of the Royal Commission on University Finances, plans had been made to inaugurate evening tutorial classes in various rural communities throughout the Province and to organize Workers' Educational Asociations in several :towns and cities, ' When the Govern- ment laid the Report over and in- structed the Provincial University that it must spend no more money this year than it did last year these plans had to be cancelled and the education for which various commun- ities in the Province aro asking, had to be, for the most part, postponed. It is hoped, however, that the Govern- ment will yet adopt the Commission's Report and^ so enable the University to give the Province the service so many people in town and country are requesting.

HALF A MILLION IDLE IN ITALY A despatch from Rome says:—Italy has now half a million unemployed, a large number considering her hulas - trial limitations. It is calculated this figure means at least 2.000,000 in- habitants affected by the present crises. The Government must face workmen's subsidies to the value of a billion lire yearly, and payment will begin •at the earliest possible moment. At the same time an effort to limit unemployment •and prevent pauper- ization is being made in another, di- rection. Public works on a large scale are to be undertaken, including road, making, bridge -building and the erec- tion of cheap 'houses, especially in Southern Italy, where unemployment grows among the agricultural popula- tion, though general industrial depres- sion is responsible for the greater part of the unemployment, the fact re- mains that America's new immigra- tion laws aro hitting Southetn Italy very hard, and causing all the un- employment in agricultural regions. BUCKINGHAM PALACE HOLDS FIRST — COURT FUNCTION SINCE 1914 A despatch from London says:—Tho first court ball since 1914 was given at Buckingham Palace on Thursday night in honor of the King and. Queen of the Belgians. It was the only function of the present London sea- son which recalled the splendor and gaiety of the days before the war. There were 2,000 guests, and the old aristocracy of England, many of whom new belong to a class known as the "new poor,” came out of their enforced retirement for the occasion, Their women folic came decked in those jewels which are family heir- looms and which have been treasured despite present hard times in 'hopes of happier days to come and as full for men, the scene was one of dazzl- ing brilliancy. By Queen Mary's orders long trains and feathers in the hair, which used to be distinguishing char- acteristics of court dress for women, had been done away with, and the gen- eral feminine view was that the in- novation was "all to the good," Most of than whom Queen Victoria called common Duchesses, to distin- guish them from members of tine ROYAL ViSIT TO BELFAST The Queen talking to the Lord Lieutenant, Viscount FitzAlau. rut efls .., -.

We too out several bags• and went upstair Kappidies stood by the bags while eeeried• the bundles to corners where I saw they were practically without clothing. The first thing I knew, a woman snatched a bundle out of my hand; then came another and another. I called Kappidies to come away, as they were turning into a mob. He and another assistant grabbed the bags and we went dawn another stairs, the mob following. We jumped into the car and hard t;, hold back the mob with sticks.
