under any Misrepresentation regarding
the attitude of myself and the govern
ment. To reserve this decision would
be calamity for England"
Mr.. Chamberlain's reply seems to
leave no loophole for reply on the part
OF the government and should the free
traders with the Lancashire members
and the whole body Of Nationalists, be
able to muster sufficient members, 1t
is not impossible that the division
might result in the defeat of the gov
eminent, leading to a general election.
The Lloyd George administration is so
largely Unionist in composition that it
is viewed with great suspicion by the
older Liberals, especially with regard
tc the question of tariff and imperial
pl eference.
Injuries Japan
The Lancashire party contends that
the imposition of these duties is a
breach of the understanding that moth
ing of the kind should be done until af-
ter the war and that the duties will Sc
riously injure not only the Lancashire
trade, but Great Britain's ally, Japan.
What attitude ex-Premier Asquith will
adopt towards the duties is still I'M
known, but a large body of Liberals
W ill follow his lead. At the present
stage neither the government nor the
Lancashire party Is inclined to listen
to any compromise.

Word was received this morning from Jack Hillard, deputy collector of customs at Eagle, stating that Miss Albrecht was arrested, but was released and allowed to proceed as soon as she was given hearing before the Board of inquiry.
 Miss Albrecht was travelling on the steamer Casca as member of the Midnight Sun excursion party. When she was examined by the Canadian authorities she was accorded every courtesy possible as she carried let ters from we'll known and influential Juneau people, The American immi- grafton agent at Eagle arrested her and insisted on holding her to answer charges of being spy. The board of inquiry at once set her free.
