SUGGEST THAT IN
FAILURE Of PEACE
GEORGE TO RESIGN
CONFERENCE IS CRISI
The English Prime Minister
Believes if Ulster Will Give
Up Two Northern Counties
-
There Will be Peace in Ire
land; If This Fails He May
Resign Very Soon.

London, Nov. 2.-Premier Lloyt
George has abandoned all hopes OF
attending the inaugural sessions OF
the Washington conference and has
cancelled his passage on the Aquit.
ania.
The next few days may bring about
his resignation as Prime Minister. Ev
erything depends on the turn which
the Irish conference may take.
Mr.. Lloyd George believes if vi.
ster will give up Tyrone and Fer
managh, two of the northern counties
which have a Catholic majority, the
Sim Fein will recognize allegiance
to the British Crown and there will
be peace in Ireland.
However, neither listers represen-
tatives nor English UniOnists look
with favor on such compromise. Ul-
stermen hold that to make a bargain
with the Sim Fein, in which Tyrone
and Fermanagh would be pawns,
would be to play losing game, the
end Of which would be disastrous to
them. English Unionists believe it
their political need and patriotic duty
to back listers claims.
If neither Ulster nor listers back
|ers in Great Britain will make such
a concession, and at the same time
the Sim Fein remains adamant in
regard to the recognition of allesi-
lance to the British Crown unless
that concessions is made nothing
seems to remain except to make war
upon Sim Fein ireland or to aban-
don Ulster. Those are the alterna-
.tives before Mr.. Lloyd George and
between them, according to reports,
he will choose the outlet of resigna-
|tion.
Should the Prime Minister resign a
general election would be inevitable.
What would be the effect Of this?
Would Mr.. Lloyd George again take
Office if he were returned? In what
way, if he did, would he then deal
with the difficulty which he had be-
fore found insuperable?

"Black Star Line" Company.
(By Max Abernethy. J

Raleigh, Nov. 3.-Expenses Incl
dent to a Statewide primary to learn
whether Commissioner of Revenue
A. D. Watts is satisfying the folks in
the administra tion of matters of tax
alton, as has been suggested in some
quarters, will make the proposed re-
ferendum prohibitive in 1922.
The Legislature which Governor
Morrison is expected to call into spe-
cial session in December will have to
amend the present law under which
the commissioner of revenue is now
serving. It gave the appointive power
to the governor and specified that the
appointee should come up for election
along with the other State Office three
years hence. If the opponents of Com
missioner Watts would throw him in
to primary next year they must
convince the Legislature that the act
OuShI W DC oAAOuuOu.
When the amendment is submitted
in December friends of the revenue
commissioner will be prepared to
show the cost of primary stagger-
ing. First the counties must pay poll
holders, registrars and judges which
viii! amount to about one thousand
dollars, more in some of the larger
counties and less in the smaller coun-
ties. The average cost to- the coun-
ties is figured at $500. To this must
be added the cost of printing the
ballots and distributing them, which
will be about $4,000. The grand to-
tai to the State and counties, there
fore, will be approximately $110, 900.
And if the legislators consent to
have Statewide primary for the
purpose of endorsing or condemning
Watts it is apparent that many coun-
ties will rebel. Self-appointed guar
dians of the States treasury, as
Representative Crisp of Dare county
would say, will be back in the Leg;s-
lature in December to stand watch
They can be depended upon TO side
track any amendment which might
cost the State money.

loans from the United States amount
ing to more than $16O,000,00 This
announcement was made In the
house of commons Monday afternoon
by Chancellor of the Exchequer
Chamberlain when he introduced the

exchange at 81 to the pound.

Taking the gloomy view Of the
country's financial prospects for the
coming year, the government has re-
Trained from mitigating the crushing
direct taxation. BY drastic cuts in
the national expenditures the chan
cellor has brought the estimated bud
get figure down to a974,oOo,0OO.
Great Britain's dead weight debt Is

this year Is the immediate f1otation of
conversion loan at 81 per cent. in
order to reduce the dangerously
heavy floating debt. The offer APP
plies to all per cent war bonds ma

experts that the state no longer needs
to offer high yields on national Sc
curities.
