Time Ripe for Peace
in Ireland Belief Of :.
Leader Henderson

London, Dec. 6.-Arthur Henderson,
who returned from Ireland today after
taking part in the investigation of the
labor commission. said that after sur
veying the entire situation he believed
the present moment offered exceptional
opportunity for settlement. Men of
every class were tired of the existing
strife and unrest and were only anx-
ious for peace.
Mr.. Henderson thinks that the gov
eminent policy of insisting on nego-
tiations is impossible until the pres
ent reign of terror is broken. He de-
clared that this is a mistaken policy
and that it will be regarded as a de-
liberate attempt to break the spirit of
the Irish people.
in the view of the labor leader a
definite effort should be made officially
to arrange an armistice in violent and
provocative acts. both official and un-
official. and conference should be
called representing both sides.
IF these suggestions are acted
upon" continued Mr.. Henderson. 81
have reason to know that the full
weight of the heads Of the Catholic
church and all organized labor in Ire
land would combine to secure cessa-
ton of lawlessness throughout :, the
progress of the negotiations.
Mr.. Henderson has no definite APP
pointment with Premier Lloyd George
but hopes to submit his proposals to
him.

ORDERS SECOND
HEARING IN NAVY
CONTRACT CASE

Bost On, Dec. 6.-The United States
circuit court OF appeals today turned
hack to this district court for re-
hearing q suit of the West & Dodge
Co Of San Francisco against the Beth
lehem ShipbuiIding Corporation Ltd.
for payment In full of the original
contract price for oil-burning equip
ment for fve destroyers built on the
Pacific coast in war time.
The ravy department after first ap-
,proving a price OF 1928 per boat for
the apparatus ruled that this charge
was in excess of reasonable profit
and Sc. $21S2 as a fair price. The
Bethlehem corporation asserted in an
swer to the West & Dodge suit to re-
cover the larger amount that the con-
tract was Illegal on this ground. The
lower court ruled that the plaintiff was
entitled to recovery of the contract
price in full.
On the fact as presented the court
Of appeals holds that the Judgment Of
the lower court must be affirmed. but
because of the possibility that yyaisrep-
reservations entered into the making
of the contract decided to remand the
case that the Bethlehem corporation
might be given an opportunity to
amend its answer.
The suit is regarded as test case
and the navy department entered an
appearance before the court of ap-
peals.

Govt. Suffers Defeat
In British House Lords

London. Dec. 6-The government
was again defeated in the House Of
Lords tonight when an amendment
proposing a new clause to the Home
Rule bill offered by the Marquis of
Salisbury, was carried by a vote Of
81 to so. This amendment provides
that neither the northern nor the
southern parliament shall be estab-
Iished until the kings authority and
the protection of the rights and lib
critics OF all persons in both north
ern and southern Ireland were fully
assured, and that otherwise the ap-
pointed day for putting the act in
force shall be fixed by resolution of
the Imperial government.
The general belief was expressed
in the Hobbies Of the House that
some of the changes in the bill as
made in the House of Lords would
not be persisted in. 1t is expected
that the proposal to substitute a
joint :ession of senates for the Irish
council will not be pressed, and the
belief was expressed that the govern
ment would agree to establish a SEN
ate for the south IL not for the north
Of Ireland.

Turtles Stunt
Assembly's Course
in League Changes

Geneva, Dec. 6-(By the aSso-
ciated Press)-The League assembly
today decided to stick to a slow and
sure policy in amending the coSeu-
ant and to extend that policy to the
Interpretation of the relations be-
tween the council and the assembly
with regard to their respective dut-
les and Jurisdictions under the coy
enant.
The Canadian amendment elimi-
mating Article X and the Argentine
amendment declaring that all sover-
eign states shall be members OF the
League that do not remain outside
of their own choice were referred 10
special committee, which will IT.
port to the next assembly.
The question as to what are the
exact relations between the counci!
and the assembly was Temporarily
and partially settled by the adoption
of a sort of working basis in the
form of the four general principles
enunciated in the recent report Of
the committee presided over by Mr.
Balfour. with certain amendments
The first of these principles, which
set forth that the council and the
assembly should each be invested
with particular powers and duties
and that neither should have juris-
diction to render decision in any
matter which had been expressly
committed to the other, Lord Rob
ert Cecil declared must be amended
SO as TO concede the assembly the
right to examine anything within the
jurisdiction of the League. He said
that Mis- South African delegation
Would not accept the report other
Vise. His amendment was accepted,
The committee also accepted the
proposition to eliminate the word
exclusive from the second prn-
ciple, which declares that the assem-
bly, has no power to reverse or modi-
fly decision which falls within the
exclusive competence of the council
On the objection of the Canadians
however, the principle was reserved.
The. third and fourth principles
setting fourth the status of represen-
tatives sitting on the council and
assembly and making provision for
a report from the council to the as
sembly were adopted.
The Argentine incident involving
the withdrawal of the delegation
from the assembly was disposed OF
quickly, the assembly showing indif-
ference. Instead of inviting the dele
gates back. the assembly merely ca
pressed regret at their action. The
only sign of feeling on the part OF
the members was when Lord Robert
Cecil said that no delegate BODY
could get on with its business II the
members were allowed to leave
whenever their particular propose
tons were not accepted.
