TELEGRAMS ST, CROLX STATION. London, Dee. 11th.— Private enterprise will never rectify the present financial situation throughout the world, accord- ing to Lord Swaythling. who has just returned from the Upited States. In an interview with *he Daily Mail this morn- ing, Lord Swasthling says he believes . ~ an international agreement by the gov- ernments concarned car. alone niove the dead-lock. He favours the susprnsion of international payments awong the Allies and neutrals, who desire to enter into the agreement for reproductive im- ports of machinery and raw mnaterials. The suspension, hesaid, inigat be perhaps -for three years and of enurse under Gov- ' ernment guaranie.. New Yerk, Deec. 11th.—As a result of a heavy " alance of trade in favour of this country against Canada, the market for . Canadian exchange is completely demo- ralized. It was learned today that there . are no buyers in the market to take off the large offerings of ecommercial bills which are being offcred at a discountof ten per cent. For a long time Canada’s pur- chases in this country have been far in . excess of her sales in the United States. In September the United States sold to Canada $77,980,468 worth of gocds while ' our purchases in that country amounted to only $42,643.583. In the first eight - months of this year the balance of trade - against Canada totalled approximately - $108,000.000. This eondition is having a - serious effect on the trade between the | two countries and is viewed with alarm . by American exporters. Our trade with ' Canada is equal tn the trade with all South America and Asia cembined. . Canadian bankers, interviewed today, | said there is only one remedy for the | present exchange situation and that is to ' buy less there, and produce more goods for export. If the Canadian wheat em- . bargo is lifted shortly, it will help mate- ~ rially in wining out the unfavourable trade balance, the bankers said. | London, Dec. 11th.—The Government ~ does not propose to take any special mea- sures in connection with the fall of the American exchange beyond continuing its policy of withho'ding artificial sup- port by borrowing abroad and doing everything possible to stimulate British ¢ export trade, according to Mr. Bonar Law, replying to a question in the House of Commons this evening. | Chicago, Dec. 11th.—Work was re- sumed today in the mines in several States as a result of the seftlement yes- terday in Indianapolis of the strike of the bituminous eoal miners, Hut little re- laxation in fuel restrictions ‘ollowed the plans for a return to norr.... of -the pas- senger tiain sl edules, vwere vndor ccr- sideration tonight. I onden, Dee. I£th.—The intrcduction of the Irish Bill ir the Honse of Com- mons was azain postpored today. -Mr. Bonar i.aw, spokesman for the Govern- nient, anrounced that in consequence of the visit of Premier Clemenceau of France, Mr. Lloyd George would bte ur- able to bring the nieasure forward either Morday or Tuesday and he could not say whether 1t would be intrcduced next week. Mr. Redmond inguired o’ Mr. Bonar Law if it were possible to use the new idea to enforce corscription by co- ercion. This question followed M:. Bo- nar Law’s reply to the ¢uestion whether the political offenders m Ireland would be released before the introduction of - the Home Rule Lill. Mr. Bonar Law answered in the negative. Mr. James Hoggart, Radical member for East Edin- burgh, said he thought if the Govi. was earnestly seeking a settlement, such a concession would be useful at this point of the discussion. An Ulster member re- marked chat it would be desir: ble to clear the ground by a discontinuance of the programme of murder and outrage. Mr. - Redmond responded it wouid b be ter to ~ clear the ground by removing the ori i- nators of the policy of direct acton in } Ireland to Mr. Bonar Law. He ren arked ~ that it was mos" deplorable that t.ie di- rert action at the present momen: was murderg He would be glad if the oiigina- tor thereof were cleared away. \We do | not intend to allow any Govt. to usurp any authority in Ireland, he said. Mr. MacPherson added that the mumber of political prisonersivo Ireland was 151. Halifax. Dec. 12th.—At a meeting of ? the shareholders of the Arcadia Sugar " Refining Company held yesterday after- l noon, resolutions were passed authoriz- ing the directors of the company tc issue ~ bonds to an amount not exceeding * 3,000, - 000. It is understood that the amount of this issue will probably not exceed $2,000, 000. Reports of the business of the Com- pany during the past year are in process of preparation and will be ready in two or three weeks. ’ London, Dec. 11th.—Mr. Arthur J. Balfour, Lord President cf the Councilin a speech today in London on world re- construetion, said: “‘One of the great- est of our Allies feel that they cannot go through with us to the end of this pro- cess of reconstructions lam net going to criticize hecause I think it out of piace for any fereigner tu criticize any foreign pcwer But it would be very poer com- pliment to my American friends to say that we regard with inditference th2 fact that they hawe not seen their way to car- ry their co-operation with usin this work of international reconstruction to the end. Mr. Balfour described the part Anierica played in the war as noble and disinter- ested with no thought of national ambi- tion. “*We are grateful”’, he continued, - *.But 1 cgnfess that I had dreams toat a
