London Aug. ll-Bo,h houses Of
parliament assembled today to wind up
the business of the session
In the house OF commons several
questions were asked relating to the
questions Of International interest.
Premier Bolfour in reply TO a ques-
ton, said there had been AN unexpected
delay In the Venezuelan settlement
which however, was not due to Great
Britain or Germany who had taken
parallel action, but to the fact that
France and Spain objected TO the use
OF the English language by the tiibu.
nal The question had been left 10 Che
tribunal itself to decide. He believed
that the court, whose members the car
had been requested to nominate, would
meet on the date originally fixed. Re.
garding the complaints that the gov
eminent was showing a lack Of sym.
PATTY with Macedonia Mr. Balfour
pointed out that one of the deep sources
OF mischief was the dissensions among
the Christians, II was not the Turk
alone-deep as his guilt undoubtedly
waS--who was responsible for the mis-
cradle conditions. IL would be folly to
forget that the Christians committed
atrocities ON Christians. The govern
ment was still Of the opinion that the
best policy was to support the Austro-
Russian endeavors TO improve the adj
ministration.
In dealing with the protests against
puzSllng the house on the fiscal con-
lr0yersy the premier said he thought
there was no necessity for undue hurry
IN discussing the matter, There was no
pending fiscal question before parlia-
ment nor would there be one during tile
currency OF the present parliament.
With a final fling from Winston
churchill, who seemed doubtful wheth. |
er the present parliament would meet |
again, and who characterized the prem. |
ier's policy Of transferring the fiscal |
discussion from parliament 10 the coun.
try as that Of demagogue the sitting |
was suspended. subsequently, the house
was summoned to the house OF lords to
hear the kings speech, prorogung par.
Lament, read
The speech was of little general or IN.
ternational interest, II alluded TO the
cordiality of the kings reception In
Portugal, Italy and France and to the
return visit Of President Louhet. whose
visit has given rise to a striking ex-
hibition Of the feelings Of mutual good
VIII which prevail In the two Coun-
tries"
The most interesting portion of the
speech deals with Ireland. II says:
The warm expressions Of good VIII
with which ! was everywhere received
greatly touched me My visit enabled
me TO realize how much was being at
tempted to improve commercial actiy-
Ity. advance the methods OF agriculture.
develop technical education and pro-
Tide for the sick and infirm. Much re-
mains to be done, but It was with feel
ngs OF the deepest qualification that
noticed signs of increasing concord
among all classes In Ireland presaglng.
As | hope, new era of united efforts
Tor the general welfare"
Referring to the Irish land bill. the
speech says II offers inducements 10 the
and owners to continue their residence
imong their countrymen and provides
ABILITIES for improving the conditions of
Ire IN the poorer districts Of the west,
I adds.
This reform, by removing the an.
lent causes OF social dlssenslon win, |
heartily trust oonduce TO the common
'eneht OF all my Irish subjects"
