CLAIM BARNES
 SPEECH WAS A
 TRIAL BALLOON

London, May 1.-The speech on Sunday in which George >Nicoll Barnes, labor member of the war cabinet, advocated a federal scheme of home rule for the United Kingdom, has attracted much attention in po- litica1 quarters here and in Ire land.
 The lobbyists at Westminster says the utterances was "a trial balloon" to test the country's opinion and de- clare that although the government has not decided definitely on a feder- al scheme individual members of the cabinet, including Premier Lloyd George, are inclining more and more to such solution of the Irish prob lem. This is due partly, it is said, be- cause they believe the scheme affords the only chance of winning Ulster to home rule.
 Some of the cabinet members be- 1ieve also. according to the lobby correspondents, that there is a great disposition in parliament and the country than ever toward a federal scheme.

BRITISH WILL.
 ADOPT POLICY
 OF THE FRENCH

London, May 14 - Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer. made an important announcement in the House of Commons yesterday when in reply to a question by Sir Edward Carson he said the govern ment intended to adopt a policy simi- lar to that of the Wrench government in denouncing all commercial conven- tions containing a clause regarding most favored nations
 Such step, The Times says editor ially, will leave Great Britain free in matters of fiscal policy. Up to this y1me the United Kingdom has been bound by commercial treaties with allied and neutral countries guaran- teeing reciprocal "most favored na- tion'' treatment in fiscal matters.
 Commercial treaties with enemy countries were terminated by the war. So long as commercial treaties re- mained. in force The Times adds, it was impossible for the United King dom to give specially favorable treat ment to her dominions or allies in custom duties on imports or to differ entiate between countries to which are exported goods of the United Kingdom.
