of the Liberal party with languid inter

George has made a fresh compact with
John Redmond, by which the armistice
can be safely prolonged for several
months A stringent revision OF the
royal declaration so that it will contain

the policy of deferring the crisis until
next February. He has merely agreei
that immediate action on the veto roso-

There has been, since Mr. Roosevelt S
