May Is Marked by
Uniform Condition
Business Stability Out
standing Aspect OF
Month is View.

WASHINGTON-In resume OF
business and financial conditions made
by the federal reserve beard, the con-
clusion is reached that financially
the month of May has been period
of comparative stability. No changes
in discount rates have taken place at
the federal reserve banks and rates in
the open money market have contin-
ued distinctly below those prevailing
at the local federal reserve institu-
tons" The report continues: Gall
money figures have been exception
ally low during most OF the month.
Interest rates have also fallen to some
extent in the producing sections of
the country. The prospect of some
better adjustment of foreign economic
conditions has tended to stabilize
rates of exchange, most of the fore
ign currencies fluctuating only with
in very narrow limits.
Foreign trade has shown dis
tinct tendency to improve, the mer-
chandise export balance in favor of the
United States reaching higher figures.
AT the same time somewhat better
inquiry for tonnage has developed.
Among domestic developments the
striking event OF the month has been
the announcement of cut of 10 per
cent in railroad rates by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. What
effect this will have upon commodity
movements is as yet uncertain"

Churchill Denies
Betrayal Of Ulster

London, March Shy A. P)-
When debate was resumed on the
Irish bill in the house Of commons
today discussion Of Lord Hugh Ce-
ciPs amendment was continued. This
declares that in approving Article
XII Of the Anglo-lrish treaty, relat-
ing to the Ulster boundary. the
British government did not intend to
agree to transfer the main area of
any Of the six countries of northern
Ireland to the territory of the Irish
free state, but agreed only to minor
boundary adjustments.
Ronald McNeill, unionist member
for the Canterbury division of Kent,
said this was the central point of OBJ
lection to the measure, the provision
in question being resented by many
OF the members as breach of faith
toward northern Ireland on the part
of the government. He quoted
Michael Collins. head of the Irish
provisional government, as having
said Sir James Craig. the Ulster
premier, had been tricked by his own
friends.
Winston Churchill, secretary for
the colonies, said the statement that
promise had been given By the
prime minister to Collins and Grit
fifth that the countie. Of Fermanagh,
Tyrone and Londonderry would be
handed over to them was absolutely
untrue and had been repeatedly de-
MED.

August Chamberlain.
B. The Assooiated Press.

London, March 3.-Premier Lloyd
Georges threat to resign has been
suspended at the urgent solicitation
of his .unionist colleagues in the cab
met, according to an authoritative
statement tonight. but no justifica-
ton for its withdrawal is said to
exist as yet.
Official denial is made that any
exact time limit has been fixed for
ceiving assurances of loyalty to the
premier from the adherents Of Sir
George Younger. the unionist leader,
although it is added that obviously
the tension cannot be extended in-
definitely.
Meanwhile there is no Indication
OF any move on the part of the union
ist party to dethrone Younger as its
head. No meeting OF the whole url-
ionist party has been called and the
general opinion is that the only hap
pening would be that the unionist
members in the cabinet-.A. J. Bal
four and Austin Chamberlain-may
publicly reprove Younger for his
tactics, as Lord Birlsenhead already
has done.
Speaking at Oxford today, Austin
Chamberlain announced that the un-

qucsted the premier to continue as
head of the government.
Not the slightest repentance has
yet been shown by the "die hard

was hooked, but before it could be
drawn from the water along came
a 1H-pound bass and viciously
grabbed the perch. But swift pun

pound pickerel, swimming by,
eagerly gulped down bass, perch,

Granger landed the outfit, but
while jumping up and down in glee
at his good luck, Mat Pitson's dog

posed to midwinter fishing. sunk
his teeth into Granger's anatomy
in a most ineonvenient manner.
