CHAMBERLAIN RULES THE
LIBERAL UNIoNIsT COUNCIL

London, May 19.-The Liberal I'm
lonist council, after two hours session,
decided to recOnstitute the Liberal
Union association on the basis pro-
posed by Joseph Chamberlain. The
Duke of DevOnshire, who presided, an
nounced in his opening address that he
could not undertake any responsible
position IN the new association, and the
question of the retention of his mem
bership depended on whether the man
ayers maintained a perfectly neutral
attitude on the fiscal question.
If the proposed rules were agreed TO
nothing could prevent the council from
adopting in its entirety the fiscal policy
recommended by the Tariff Reform
League. and the Liberal Unionist asso-
citation might any day be converted in
to an active agency in support of that
League. Chamberlain carried the meet
ing practically unanimously in support
of his views.
