The only help in which these people can now parti- cipate is that offered by th2 local poor law authorities. The local relief sources have, however, been enduring severe | financial straits. For example, the city of Sheffield is unable to pay further relief r unless the city arrange an immediate | loan. The banks have refused further overdrafts by the ecivic authorities for this purpcse. Slackness has again crept over the Lancashire Milis, which are re- sorting to half time operations. The Yorkshirz steel workers have accepted a | wage cut under protest.

Amid cheers the Liberal leader declared the Govt’s. l Irish proposals entirely commended them- | selves to him in substance, A much ‘ more important fact, Mr. Asquith added, . was the evidence of the opinion they . had behind them, throughout not only | the Britis. ®mpire, but the United | States. Some other speecnes and ques- | tions followed, during which the Pre- | mier stated that if there was a settie- . ment, the House would proceed with the | bill without delay other than that ne- cessary for the threshing out of terms ' and he did nct think that could be done ' by October 18th. In any case, the mo- | tion to adjourn to Qctober 18th, was | adopted. . 1 London, Aug. 19th.—Continuing his | address in the House of Lords today on | the Irish question, Lord Curzon, Secre- I tary for Woreign Affairs, said no one ' could fail to be struck by the unpre- cedented unanimi'y of supvort with | which the Govt’s. offer had been receiv- ; ed.

This fact had coloured, darkened §and poisoned the at- mosphere. ‘The press notices from the, | United States, had caused him infinite | anxiety and distress for many years, but I ;u_)w telegrams of approval poured in on lim. | NEW YORK, August. 23rn 1921.

EDITORIAL EXTRACT FROM SAN JUAN TIMES, JULY 30, 1921. A friernd said to .us that Governor Reily would not sit behind that desk all of the time, even if Hon. Ramon Pacheco threatens hin: with something to sign everv hour. But, =aid this friend, you will find the Govarnor wil!, after office hours, go out and get acouainted with the people. All hail ti:e day! General Grant, when Presidert, used te stay in the office urtil four o’clock, and then walk down the street like any other cit- izen, meet his old associates and friends at the Willard Hotel, and nobody thought anything of it. Now, our people expect their Covernor to be a dignified gentle- man at all times That is what Gover- nor Reily’s friends say heis. Dut the Governor knows that a man may walk up town, meet people, maybe buy a cigar, and be at ali times an ideal Gov- ernor. The people will rejoice 10 know that at last, they are not preserving either a munimy or a sport a® the Palace, but a real man, one of their number; in short, their Governue. They will sup- port such a man with a loyaity that will surprise the fGovernor himseli. Such a man an< Governor will be the dawning of the day for which they have waited through the centuries.

With the German mark we:th less than two cents in Canada where its pre- war value was nearly 24 cents, German competiton is already making itself felt in many Canadian industries and the menace for the future is pronounced. German salt industries recently quoted prices in Montreal over thirty per cent below those of Canadian plants. The Canadian toy industry is seriously threat- ened. The Canadian iron and steel, hardware, cutlery, musical instruments, drug and chemical fertilizer, brush and other industries have already been affect- ed. The markets for instance, which the Canadian brush industry had suc- ceedzad in developing in the United King- dom, the United States, Australia, New- foundland, British West Indies, British South Africa, Portuguese East Africa, the Argentine, Columbia, Venezuela, Java, China, Cuba, and other countries, have been practically wiped out owing to the international exchange situation and, further, the Canadian market itself is being seriously threatened by impor- tations of Belgian and German brushes made by cheap labor—The Dominica Guardian, July 21st.
