tween poor and good schools, of
arousing interest and desire for
better schools and Of giving prac-
teal advice and assistance to di-

teal sensible, economical and such

able reactions. He should know
details of administration, costs of
repairs, appliances, supplies, etc.

THE BRITISH EMPIRE
No Proposal Involving Pulling
Away of Emerald Isle Will
Be Considered
az The AssoeIaIed I'D

LONDON, Dec. 2s,-The government
has gone to the utmost limit IN the
Irish treaty and therefore it Is impos-
sible 10 reopen the discussions, Pre-
mler Lloyd George declared in a state
ment issued here today.
Following is the text Of his state
ment.
mo British statesman could go fur
Their than we have gone; no British
statesman could consider any proposal
involving ireland being out Of the em-
pire.
.eThe treaty places Ireland on an
equality with the other states Of the
empire and gives ireland the same
claim to membership in the League Of
Nations and every right that Canada
has ia law, fact and constitutional
practice; and not merely rejection but
alteration even, OF the treaty would
render it null and void. This would
indeed be deplorable in the interests
OF both countries.
'"rhe British government have gone
to their utmost limit in the treaty and
to reopen the discussion, which was
closed only after the most exhaustive
consideration Of every point would be
a Ruthless proceeding ana IS impos-
sible.
"a committee consisting OF British
ministers presided over by the colonial
secretary has been set up to deal with
the evacuation Of the British forces,
the settling Of amnesty and the maxi
ing OF all necessary arrangements on
the British side and transferring full
executive responsibility to an Irish
provisional government. The work of
this committee which had been in con-
tinuous session up to Christmas and
had proposed to sit through the Christi
mas holidays. Is now unavoidably held
up pending approval Of the treaty, but
on approval 1t would he carried
through with the utmost dispatch.
1T Is the intention of the British
government to hand over without de-
lay their responsibilities to a provis-
ional government which viii function

quired for settling up the Irish Free

when he had jammed his way to the
porch, she rushed out to embrace him.
