SETTLEMENT DAY.

We said a good while ago that set
tlement day was at hand. There must
be a balancing of accounts. People
who have made debts and who have
let them run along without making
proper efforts to settle them, and
those as we'll who have not been able
to settle such debts, are finding that
an accounting must be had. There
must be a balancing of past transac-
tions, and new starting point.
This does not mean that everybody
who owes money is going. to be closed
out. If it meant that none of US
would have anything to look forward
to except the worst. But it does
mean that people must show dispo-
sition to settle and do what they can
in that direction. Certainly those peo-
pie who are indebted to others owe
it to their creditors, as we'll as to
themselves, to make some kind of
showing or accounting. Those who
are disposed to meet their cerditors
half way, and who are disposed to
do as much as they are able, have
nothing to fear we think; but this is |
not the time for concealment, nor is
it the time for ignoring the just de-
mands of others.
Creditors according to our obser-
walton are always willing to do all
they are able for the honest debtors.
This is time when honesty is a
great asset Now is the day when it
pays to "come straight" as the eX-
preston comes.
If we would give advice to our
readers who owe debts it would be
that they seek out those to whom
they are indebted, make full state
ment of csaditions, show DISPOSE
tion to do all possible towards meet
ing obligations, and show spirit of
cooperation in helping to carry the
country over its present state of de-
preston. 1t is well, too, to remember
that the man you owe, owes some
body else, and that other person
wants an explanation from his debt
ors. A good understanding all around
is greatly to be desired.

IRISH DISCUSSION
DRAWING TO CLOSE
David Lloyd George and Sir James
Craig in Extended London
Conference.

London, Nov. 8.-The discussions
an Irish settlement are nearing a
climax. After long conference with
Mr.. Lloyd George today Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, summon
ed members of his cabinet from Bel
fast for a meeting in London to
consider the proposals made by the
British government.
The official announcement of this
action also stated that there would
be further conference with Mr..
Lloyd George Thursday afternoon.
The Irish situation, it was frankly
admitted in official circles, is in an
extremely critical stage. 1t is under
stood that the Ulster premier inform
ed Mr.. Lloyd George that he could
not possibly think Of shouldering
the responsibility of accepting the
proposals made to him by the prime
minister, and would be compelled to
consult his colleagues in the Ulster
parliament and also the representa-
tives of the Ulster parliamentary
group in Westminster.
Sir James Craig authorized the
statement that Mr.. Lloyd George had
consented to meet the Ulster dele
cation after their meeting with Sir
James.
Everything it is said now depends
on Thursdays meeting and, if the
Ulster representatives definitely re-
ject the compromise proposals it is
regarded as possible that Mr.. Lloyd
George will carry out his threat to
resign from office.
