FORUM SPEAKER
 SAYS IRELAND
 SHOULD BE FREE

Self determination for Ireland was advocated by A. Hunt Vautis- in his talk at the United Church Commun- ity Forum last night. He stated that the minority in the north of Ire land should not be permitted to in- terfere with the hopes of the major ity of the population. He declared that 1reland's problems concerned this country as well as the entire English speaking world.
 MT. Vautier said his remarks were made without bias and prejudice and were based on what he had seen and heard in his travels throughout the Emerald Isle. He explained that the UIsterites dread separation from England and are trying to prevent it, although there are only 80O,00O UI- sterites to 3,50O,OOO who favor home rule.
 The extremely bitter feeling be- tween the north and south of Ireland is a handicap to the country. The north fears that its industries will have to pay the bills for home rule because that section is a manufactur- ing district while the other parts of the country are devoted largely to agriculture. There are thousands of Irishmen willing to die for Ireland but not willing to live for it, said ME. Vautier.

YANKEE OBTAINS BRITISH CONTRACT

London, May 5-Yankee enterprise triumphed when the city of Birrning- ham, planning to replace it's street car rails, invited bids for material. An American obtained tase contract, al- though two British firms asked for 1t, and protests have been so numerous that the municipal government issued an official statement.
 One Of the British bidders, 1t was explained agreed to begin delivering fifty tons a week in April but would not consent to 0 penalty clause for non-delivery; the other promised 1,2oo tons within twenty weeks. The firm in the United States agreed to com plete delivery by the end of May and quoted a lower ? rice than either Of the British manufacturers. The price and the fact that the authori- ties were anxious to complete the work this year were the influencing factors in flavor of the American bid der.
 Sending American steel rails to Birmingham Is like carrying coals to Newcastle, with the possible excep- tion that the purchase by the city corporation of street railway rails made in the United States was be- cause Birmingham thus got better rails than if the British product had been used
 Councilman Lee, called upon in the city council to explain the purchase, said rails recently supplied by British manufacturers had not been equal to the committee's standard, the life of such rails being five years instead of the normal life of fifteen years.
 Alderman Bewlay declared this statement reflected on the British steel trade industry; and another member recalled that rule cf the council forbade the placing of an or der with a foreign concern when the value was. more than $5,000.
 The controversy ended when a Feso- luton was adopted approving the purchase of American rails but re- Ilinding the committee of the exist ence of the rule regarding foreign goods and ordering it's enforcement in tho future.
