The desertlon OF the richest Liberals
from their party is causing depletion OF
the party purse. The Executive Commit
tee OF the National Liberal Federation de-
signs to levy an assessment Of shilling

duce 100000 yearly, but 1t can be said
that unless the Executive Committee is
reformed, the rank and file will not SUBJ

Mcclure will come to England as tne

with authority to enter into contracts
for the construction OF iron-claus gun

largest ever given by any Power at enc
time. AS Japan is certain 70 spend on
