Concessions ON Both Sides

CORK, Oct. 1:-Concessions on
both sides at the conference to be
held October IL will do much to
facilitate the reaching of an agree
ment making for peace in Ireland,
said the Cork Examiner in COM
menting upon the latest exchange of
notes between London and Dublin.
THE Irish people are genuinely
sincere in their desire for an accom-
mediation of the difference which
must be equitably adjusted if con-
fiict is to be ended and honorable
peace achieved. They are sincere
in the belief that the conference will
supply a means by which the de-
sired end may be attained. and
while aware that grave difficulties
exist they are convinced that when
the conferees get to close quarters
with these difficulties a give and
take policy will smooth the way and
dissolve them"

NATIONAL DEFENCE
CRY GRIPS JAPAN
Defeat Of Armament Reduction
i'm the Diet Explained by
Professor Oyama.

TOXIC. March lit is no wonder" !"
said Professor Ikuo Oyama, formerly OF
the Waseda University, writing in the
Japanese Outlook, that ex-Minister
Ozaki's motion for armament curtail-
ment was defeated by 2S5 10 3S when
we remember that the Diet while II
represents the boureeoisie. IS at the
same time representative Of nationalism.
Proposals for the extension Of arma-
ments or the completion OF ational de-
ingly extreme, will be accepted by the
question as disarmament will gain the
support of a majority"
He continued: For instance. II is
proverbial that one of the four p.anks OF
the Seiyukai Government party is the
Completion of National Defence while
the Kenseikai opposition has a similar
policy. The Seiyukai and the Kenseikai
have no divergence of opinion about the
important questions OF the nation and
they act on the same principles, or more
truly. on no principles
'The reduction OF armaments is OBJ
viously repugnant to the naval and mill
tary authorities, and they approve OF It
as an ideal only because they were
afraid OF an attack on the budget"
Mr.. Oyama. who is known as a Social
ist declared that Mr.. Ozaki committed
grave miscalculation in limiting the
evils of formidable armaments to the
decline OF national strength and in fail
ing to deny the evils OF capitalism and
nationalism, which are the fundamental
source OF aggressive imperialism

TAX PAYMENTS HALT

Commercial Interests Demand
Guarantees From Pekin.

SHANGHAI. March 15.--Chinese com
nnercial interests OF the Province Of
Kiangsu through the first weeks OF the
new year were unitedy opposing pay
ment OF an income tax levied by the
PelSin Government and payable begin
ming January /. In February IL was
believed in Chinese circles In Shanghai
that any serious effort on the part OF the
Government 10 collect the tax would be
delayed indefinitely.
No reply had been received in the first
part OF February from the Pekin Gov
crnment 10 a notification that was served
upon Pekin early IN February By the
Associated Chinese Chambers Of Com
merce OF Kiangsu. The Government was
Informed in this notification that unless
VI complied with eight conditions which
we're given the new tax would not be
recognized in the Province OF Kiangsu
Among the eight conditions laid down
we're The funds raised must be util-
ized for Improvement Of the police sys-

PRICES SEEM NEAR
LOW POINTS LIMIT
Slowing Up Noted in Last Two
Months in Guaranty Sur
vey's' First Issue.

Further readjustments both in indus
try and in prices must occur before the
arrival of a general and sustained re-
viva of business activity. according to
the Guaranty Surrey. the initial issue OF
a new monthly publication TO take the
Place Of fortnightly pamphlets issued by
the Guaranty Trust Company. The inn
provement shown here or there IN trade
and industry is described as largely or
wholly seasonal. Nevertheless the
maintenance Of so large a volume Of
business under existing handicaps Il
taken as distinctly encouraging.
After giving statistics to show the
marked Improvement in the banking po-
stion and discussing the trend toward
lower interest rates the survey features
a discussion OF the price situation as
follows:
How long prices IN general win con
tinue to decline and what low levels will
of reached remain as uncertain as at
NE beginning Of the reaction early in
. 1920. 1t is worthy OF note. however
that the rate Of decline in the last two
months was less than the average de-
cline in the last months OF 1920. This
is possibly an indication that on the
whole prices are nearing the low point
that will be reached in the present pc
Rod Of readjustmenet.
"The lack Of equilibrium In the rela-
tion OF individual prices to one an
other has been exemplined in both the
rise and the decline OF prices OF farm
products as compared with other prices.
THE low points already reached BY
many prices and the increased activity
noted have resulted in growing con-
hdence in business circles that some
branches Of industry are experiencing
what viii prove 70 be the beginnings or
a general revival OF activity.
: The conclusion seems warranted that.
while gains now being made in one or
another branch OF activity may be sus-
tanned. for other branches continued
dullness may be expected 70 precede any
marked Improvement.
Until the liquidation Of inventories
and the readjustment Of Individual
prices have gone further, an adequate
basis will be lacking for the confidence
which must serve as the foundation for
normally active business.
"Not only is the persistent within Gliding
of purchasing power from the retail
markets by SO called ultimate consum-
ers largely the result or the expectation
that prices OF one or another commodity
will decline further. but producers them-
selves are governed largely by the same
