Sir Edward Grey Declines to Reveal
the japanese View-Naval
Estimates.

LONDON, March 17.-Sir Edward Grey's
Endorsement Of President Taft's arbitra-
ton suggestion was seconded amid cheers
in the house of commons Yesterday by A.
j. Balfour, the leader of the opposition
who in the course Of his speech declared
that he saw no difficulty in the way of
carrying out such an arrangement be-
tween this country and the United States.
He hoped that there was general feel
ing in the United States that the time
had come at last when the two great coun-
tries might be bound by treaty to re-
fer all questions which could possibly
end in anything so horrible as a war be-
tween them to some arbitration tribunal.
Mr.. Balfour recalled that when he was
member of the Salisbury government,
which had tried to arrange an arbitration
treaty with the United States, it was the
aim toward which the unionists had con-
sistently striven. Assuming, however.
that the desired result could be reached
now, it could hardly affect the naval esti
mates.

Hereditary Blood Poison

Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by a swelling and liberation
of the glands. especially about the
neck 1t is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we sea
its effects in weak eyes, poorly devel-
oped bodies, running sores and ulcers,
skin diseases. especially on the scalp.
catarrhal troubles. etc. Scrofula usu-
ally makes its appearance in child
hood, though manhood or woman-
hood may be reached before the poi
son progresses to the stage Of out
ward manifestation. 5. S. S. is the one
real cure for Scrofula. 1t is blood
purifier without an equal. and it cures
this destructive blood poison by re-
moving every trace Of the infection
from the circulation. S. S. S., in addi-

Regarded as Visionary.

The Telegraph, however. attaches equal
Importance to Mr.. Balfours argument in
the same speech that universal arbitra-
ton is visionary and that an Anglo
American treaty would in no way change
Great Britain's relations with Europe,
and would not justify any reduction of
the British navy.
The notion OF the United States and
Great Britain doing police duty would
be obnoxious. according to the unionist
organs. The Telegraph says that the
friendship between Great Britain and the
United states must be no menace to
other countries.
The Standard similarly asks whether, if
the treaty was concluded, in event OF the
United States becoming involved in hos
tilities with Japan, it could be supposed
for a moment that Great Britain would
go to the aid OF the United States.

is regarded by the government as one or
the most important steps In the promotion
of harmonious relations between tho
United States and Canada thus far taken:
In operation the commission viii
obviate the necessity for the circuitous
negotiations OF questions at issue between
this country and Canada which neces-
sarily obtained when there was no means
Washington and Ottawa except by way OF
London.
Direct Negotiations Hereafter.
Heretofore all negotiations were neces-
sarily carried on not only through the
usual diplomatic channels between Wash
ington and London, but usually through
both the foreign and colonial offices.
Hereafter the new international joint
commission will afford a means OF direct
communication and negotiation between
the capital OF the United States and tat
OF Canada.
In matters pertaining to the boundary
waters the decision of a majority OF the
commission will be final, as will also be
the case in matters of difference referred
to the commission for decision with the
full consent OF both governments. In the
la tier cases. in the event the commission
finds itself evenly divided, provision IL
made for the employment of an umpire
under the terms OF The Hague conven-
ton, whose decision shall be final. In
those instances where matters at issue
are referred to the commission by one or
other of the countries IL will content it
self with a finding OF the facts, which
shall be submitted to the respective gov
ernments.
1t is expected that Canada will prompt
ly appoint her representatives on the
commission. and that II will hold its first
meeting in Washington in the near III
ture.

Small Nationalities Ignored.

The proposals made no provision for
small nationalities struggling against in
justice or seeking freedom. They refer
red only to mighty empires, which were
invited to combine for the purpose Of
coercing others who would not submit
to arbitrati ton.
MI Balfour's speech, which was en-
tirely unexpected, has given a new i'm
petus to the arbitration movement, and,
in the opinion of the liberal morning pa
pers, brings the question of an Anglo
American treaty within the region Of
practical politics.
The Daily Telegraph, in an enthusiastic
editorial, says that the league of peace
thus established would necessarily in
clude the countless populations Of the
whole British empire. Political friend
ship between these great English-speak-
Ing nations might be the most glorious
association of free nations the world has

No War on United States.

Great Britain, he went on, was not
building and never had built ships with
the idea that they should ever be used
against the United States. The estimates
had always been framed to deal only with
the European situation. AS there was no
suggestion that any European power was
prepared to take up such a plan, 1t was
imperative that the navy. at all times
should be adequate to preserve the lines
of commercial communication upon which
the very existence Of Great Britain de-
ponds. He insisted that the present naval
estimates were inadequate for the pur-
pose.
An effort was made to ascertain the
views of the japanese government on
President Taft's suggestion, but Sir Ed
ward Grey declined to reveal them
The foreign secretary admitted that the
government at Toxic had been made
aware of the British governments views
on the subject, but he refused to lay
Japan'S answer on the table Of the house
on the ground that to do so would be
premature.
The first break in the chorus Of ap-
proval came from John Dillon. member
for East Mayo. who described Sir Ed
wards speech as a gigantic red herring
most successfully drawn across the path
of discussion of the naval estimates.

tionary sentiment wherever it appeared.
He has dealt with revolutfonists with
harshness, and in assuming this attitude
he has perhaps In many instances
wrought injustice. From an American
standpoint, in his hostility to revolution
lists he may seem to have gone SO far
as to wipe out the rights OF individuals
in the matters of political organization
and peaceful expression Of opinion. But
in doing SO he has been guided by his
knowledge Of the character OF the Next

American People Sympathetic.

These formal statements were issued:
John Redmond-St. Patrick's day-the
home rule bill will be introduced for Ire
land next year, and after that the great
reform demanded by the democracies Of
England, Scotland and Wales. The break
down of the house of lords barrier has
been due to'Ireland. One Of our most
powerful aids has been, and is today, the
sympathy Of the American people.
William OBrien-Cordial greetings to
our faithful kindred in America on the
occasion OF our national anniversary! All
sections Of the nationalist party are
ready for cooperation in testing to the
uttermost Mr.. Asquith's home rule
pledges. He is certain to offer q con-
siderable measure of devolution next
year if his bill abolshing the lords veto
can be forced into law this session.
Therefore, Mr.. Redmond and the MEM
bers of the 'all-for-1reland' party are
entirely at one in supporting the bill.

Little Faith in Home Rule Bill.

Earl of Dunraven-I wish I could hon
estly say that tomorrow's sun will rise on
bright prospects for Ireland, but l can
not. Home rule will not, in my opinion,
be constructed out of the wreck of the
British constitution, and II it We're it
could not be worked subject to social
istic single-chamber parliament at West
Minister. Judging by their action in kill
Ing the land purchase act, 1 have little
faith in home rule bill satisfactory as to
finance emanating from the radical party.
and ! dread lest Ireland should be coz
ened into the acceptance Of a measure
doomed to failure and home rule be lost
forever.
Ireland is to drag the chestnuts out OF
the fire If she can for the radicals to eat,
and she will get burned. That home
rule will come is as certain as that the
sun will rise tomorrow. but 1t will come,
l think, as a measure cOnSOnant with q
strong, well-balanced imperial parliament
and framed along federal lines and gen.
e1aiy acquiesced in, though not necessa-
rily universally approved. l do not be-
lieve that it can be achieved by the policy
and tactics at present employed.

Light Of Victory Shining.

Nov at last" he said. I'VE meet with
the light of victory shining on our coun-
try and our cause. The struggle between
England and Ireland is ended England
and Ireland have Joined hands against
the common foe of both in defense Of the
peoples liberties and rights. All bitter
ness has left our souls. We want peace
with England. We want friendship with
the English people. We want our proper
place in the British empire, and to bury
fathoms deep in the ocean Of oblivion and
memory the wrongs. the miseries and the
expressions of the past
I. p. O'ConnOr,- speaking at the st.
Patrick's banquet at Liverpool, said:
This Is the brightest and happiest st.

Ireland's deliverance is close at hand. The
first step toward the realization. Of Sir
Edward Greys arbitration proposals must
be reconciliation with the Irish people
through self-government."
