laid for an Irish republic. Shaw says he is
unable to belong to an association with such
aims, but expresses his opinion that the union

to English aid involved many other con-
siderations, and would be likely to
do more harm than good. The same
journal, in leading articles, charges
the lord mayor with allowing false represen.
tation of the purport of kilograms to be used
by the tories, and says the mansion bouse band
