LLOYD-GE0RGE
 AND LAND TALK
Chancellor of Exchequer and Reformer Delivers His Long-Awaited Speech on Land Proposals Before Liberal Mass Meeting
(By w. Hamilton Rhodes)

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-Mr. Lloyd George, chancellor of The exchequer and reformer, has delivered hIs long awaited speech on his land proposals to mass meeting of libel nls in Glasgow His chief points were:
 The government intends to g.ve effect in legislation to the principe of rating rate values.
 I regard the proposal to transfer all rates from the structure to the site as impracticable and the objec- ton to any part of the rates being put on the site as pusillanimous.
 There are several alternative meth ods within these two limits which we could apply.
 Dukes are always in the habit of asking more for their land than it is really worth.
 The duke of Montrose asked $780,, 900 for land wanted for public pur- poses in Glasgow. He got $95,00O.
 He was rated on that land at about twelve cents per acre, and the people of Glasgow had to pay him 1000 years purchase.
 w duke contributes towards the rates at the value he assigns.
 The duke of Sutherland asked 3D. 395, 900 for the lean, scraggy part of his estate He overlooked the fact that his trustees had sworn that the whole million acres for death duty purposes were worth $2.000,000.
 Does he suggest that his trustees committed perjury by swearing that the land was only worth one-third of it's real value? There never has been such a case since the days oi Ananias and Sapphira.
 In his peroration he declared that "the chariot of retribution is draw ing nigh,' and that he saw ''tht dawn of the resurrection of the op- pressed gliding the horizon"
 There are substantial differences in some respects between the agrar- ian conditions of Scotland and those of the south" said Lloyd-George. But still there is one great, deep, under lying principle of all sound, just and beneficient land laws in every land: That the land in all countries was created by Providence for th' benefit of all those who dwell there in, and that any privileges, rights or interests attaching for the tim being, whatever their origin may be to the ownership of land that ar inconsistent with this great purpos ought in the interests of the com munity to be ruthlessly overridden.
 There is no more serious evil tha

S100, 900 is a fair estimate of the an- nual exports to Europe, though this figure greatly undervalues the retail worth of the stones after cutting.
 Information is lacking whereby the extent ef the production in central Asia may be judged. It is known that this mineral has found wide application since remote times in Tibet and that this country has fur nished great quantities of material. Recently, turquois matrix resembling that employed in Tibet has appeared on the London and Paris markets. During the past 200 years central Asia has produced considerable tur- quois, most of which has been ex- ported to Mongolia and Tibet. Moi- ernly, considerable turquos is used in the northern provinces of India, and both Tibet and Persia have con tributed to this supply.

After construction there is no ques- ton of greater interest than that of wireless telegraphy. The main point here relates to continuous service Each government reserves to itself power to insist that every ship shall maintain a continuous srvice as soon as it is satisfied that such watch will be useful for the purpose of saving life at sea. The convention provides, moreover, that, subject to a transitional period for fitting wire less installations and obtaining the necessary staffs, a large number of ships shall be required to maintain a continuous service. These classes of ships include all fast passenger steamers-those which are placed in the first category laid down by the Radio Photographic convention-and CD vessels with a speed of more than thirteen knots which carry 200 or more passengers and make voyages of more than 300 miles between two consecutive ports; (9) steamers in tended to carry twenty-five passengers
 
 are more than 300 miles from land; and (4) those vessels which are re- quired to carry wireless installations and are engaged in the transatlantic trade, or whose voyages take them more than 1000 miles from land. The ships placed in the second category of the Radio Photographic convention are also required to keep a watch for at least seven hours a day, besides a watch of ten minutes in each other hour. The continuous watch may be kept by certified operators or by watchers qualified to receive and un- derstand signals of distress, but the convention does not stipulate what test is to be imposed on these watch CTS It is believed that the idea of those at the conference was that no very high standard of intelligence would be required from these watch CTS.
 The provision of continuous watch means, apparently, that across long stretches of ocean, such as the 5000 miles from South Africa to Australia, a watcher will be required to sit with the wireless receiving apparatus over his ears on the chance of hearing a distress call It also means that large cargo steamers in the North Atlantic with a crew of fifty will be obliged to maintain continuous service. Pro- vision is made for the possibility of the invention of an automatic appara- tus which would take the place of the watchers, but it is understood i that such a contrivance is very far from being an accomplished fact. Speaking at Cardiff yesterday, MT. Vernon Hartshorn, who is member of the executive council of the South Wales Miners Federation and of the Executive Board of the Miners Fed eration of Great Britain, and was one of the pioneers of the minimum wage movement, stated that in 1915 all | the agreements in the mining indus | try would come to an end; so would also the minimum wage act, the rall- waymens agreement, and the sea- mems agreement and there was a movement on foot to link together | the Miners Federation, the Railway mems Union, and the Transport Workers Union with a view to united
 action in support of each others de- mands. The first step in this direction had already been taken by the Min

can affect any country than that it's peasantry should be quitting it. Pea- santry in a country is like a gold reserve, and the moment there is a run on the bank you begin to real ize the true value of that resource.
 This resource is drawn upon large ly by every branch of the national life. There is no part of the empire, there is no country in Europe. which draws as largely upon these re- sources as Scotland does. The req son is that you have fewer class barriers than we have in the south. Your education is more democratic, so the children of the peasant and the laborer find their way to the foremost positions in your life. It is more difficult in the south for the peasant to break away from the lot into which he was born. Tn the south you have got snobbishness in many parts like a steaming haze, op- pressing and plague, paralyzing ac- tivity, progress and energy.
 Tn many of our schools it is taught as part of our education. I was taught that my business was to be humble. to lower my head humbly to all my betters, and it was eX- plained carefully to me that my bet ters were the parish squire and the parson. I have obeyed the instruc- tions from my youth very faithfully"
 There will be published shortly the full terms of the international convention on safety of life at sea, and these will certainly be studied with the deepest care by ship owners throughout the world The conven- ton, as already outlined, is evidently so comprehensive that when it is made public ship owners might lose themselves in a mass of detail It provides a new code of safety which takes into account the immense num- Der of factors bearing in some way on the safety of life and property at sea. That certain of the recommen- dations will add substantially to the cost of ship owning is undeniable.
 Yet important as the convention is for what it does now it is almost as important for what it may do III the lue COHNtutiOll dcoio at length with highly technical ques- tions of construction, such as the subdivision of ships into watertight compartments, and it provides that all the countries signatory to it shall undertake to continue the study of construction with a view to possible improvements The British govern hent has been asked to act as the channel through which the results of such research work shall be made generally known. When it has ap- proved of any changes or new stan dards it will approach the verious governments with a proposal to have them adopted in their countries. These ! standards, when once accepted, will i be as binding on ship owners as the | terms of the convention already de- fined It is important to note that
 the rules laid down by the convention
 respecting ship construction only ap-
 ply to vessels yet to be built. The
 conference recommends that the ar engagements in existing ships shall be considered on their merits by the administration of the country to which each vessel belongs. The admins
 tration will require such improve
 ments to be made in the interests
 of safety as are practicable and

Loyalty Questioned.

London. Oct. 30.-The Court Circu-
lar announces that Prince Louis of
Battenberg has resigned from the ad-
miralty. Thus ends the campaign of
innuendo and more or less v.Incation
that has been directed against the
first sea lord of the British navy. who
holds the rank of vice-admiral from
the very beginning of the war.
Prince Louis crime was that he
was born a German. The fact that he
had served 46 years in the British
navy and had risen from the rank Of
cadet to chief commander by hard
work, loyalty and sheer ability count
ed but little in his favor when war
broke out with Germany against the
damning fact that his father was a
Prussian officer.
Prince Louis was born in Austria.
His father was Prince Alexander OF
