 Premier's Thoughts
By Associated Press

 oItieial announcement of the Brit ish delegates to the Washington meeting is expected to be delayed until next wek. while the cabinet directs it's attention tc the unem ployment situation
 In official circles 1t is said that the three subjects which demand the governments attention are unem- ployment, the Irish situation and armament, but of these unemploy- ment is the more urgent. Officials are careful to point out that the three subjects are equally important but that conditions surrounding un- employment resulting in such dem- onstrations as those of the last few days demand the quickest relief pos sible.
 After unemployment there looms the new Irish conference of October II. to which the cabinet must ap- point representatives to discuss the basis for negotiations From this subject the cabinet will turn to give full considera tion to the Washington conference.
 It was learned that the composition of the British delegation to the forthcoming conference with Irish leaders was discussed, and although the names were not finally approved, it was understood that the govern ment would be represented by the following delegates
 Premier Lloyd George. Lord Bir- lSenhead. the lord high chancellor. Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secre- tary for Ireland; Sir Laming Worth i rgton Evans, secretary for war, and Winston Spencer Churchill. secretary of the colonies.

 Hln Iln uilsor LtatiIdina.

Washington. October 6.-(Special) The situation respecting the sale by the government of Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford or other would be pur- chasers has become so deeply in- volved and chaotic, in the opinion ot Alabama members of Congress, that it was determined today to ask the Secretary of War to clarify the sit uation by positive statement of policy
 Representative ". E. Bankhead of the Tenth Alabama district having the above purpose in mind, will be received by Secretary Weeks tomor- row morning. MT Bankhead as well as Representative Almon of the Eighth Alabama. and Representative Byrns of Tennessee, who recently visited Muscle Shoals declare belief that further delay will further com plicate and endanger the situation.
 Tt is my hope said MT. Bank head tonight, "to secure from the Secretary statement as to the exact situation and what his purpose is. The people of the Muscle Shoals ter fttory regard the sithatio, brought about by the offer of Mir Ford with q fervor that is almost religious in JUS significance. was recently in Sheffield and found the greatest ex- eitemept and enthn-iasm, and impa- tience regarding delay. The pros pect of development has caused a great boom in real estate, and the people are in that state of mental distress (Which lies midway between realization of hope and fear of crushing disappointment.
 unlike some Alabamians who have expressed themselves that the cards are fixed against Ford I am certain that Secretary Weeks is being guided by the most patriotic con- si"eration. It Is necessary however, l reel that nasty action be taken. ihe agony Of delay is heartbreaking"
