RETURN OF PREMIER
STIMULATES INTEREST
IN ENGLISH POLITICS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 16.-The English
political situation, especially the ques-
tion as to when the government is go
ing to call a general election. has
again been brought into prominence
through the return from France of
Prime Minister Lloyd George and the
removal from the foreground of the
Irish situation.
There was fairly general opinion
among the political writers in this
mornings newspapers that the cleo
tion, which recently was foreshadowed
for February, would not occur then,
and probably would not be held before
May at the earliest. 1t is said that Mr.
Lloyd George discussed the matter in
formally with some of his colleagues
last evening, when he became con
vinced that an early election was un-
desirable.
Among the reasons supposed to have
brought about this decision are the
strong opposition of the Unionists TO
such a step. and the collapse of the
Cannes conference. from which Mr..
Lloyd George brings nothing to offer
the electorate except the decision TO
call an international economic confer
ence at Genoa. The position of Ire
land is also regarded as placing a
great obstacle in the way of an early
appeal to the country
Discuss Early Parliament
The possibility is being debated of
an early convening of parliament for
the special purpose of passing legisla-
ton necessary for complete establish
ment of the new government of Ire
land, in which case the Times suggests
the election Immediately should follow
Other reports ignore this, assuming
that parliament will not assemble un-
til the time already arranged, Jan so,
when it will take up the Irish legisla-
ton, which it is contended must be
out of the way before an election can
satisfactorily be held.
The current week will be one Of
great political activity, both the Union
lists and liberals having important
meetings scheduled. Mr. Lloyd George
is to speak before the coalition lib
eral convention on Saturday, when
it is supposed If nothing previously
transpires regarding the date Of the
election, he will make definite an
nouncement in this connection.

.SHANTUNC DISCUSSED
(By Associate 1 Press)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 16-Still
awaiting the receipt by the Japanese
delegation of its instructions from To-
kio which are expected to permit COM
pletion of the naval Limitation treaty.
the arms conference today prepared
to turn again TO the study of the Far
Eastern and Pacific questions.
The text of the agreement reached
by the Chinese and Japanese delegates
on Saturday concerning the surrender
by Japan of the Kiaochow leasehold
to China was formally accepted by
the two delegations today when the
Shantung conversations were re-
sumed
The arms conference entered an
other week today which was expected
to see the naval program wiped off the
slate and the Shantung issue, if not
finally settled, at least so far ad-
vanced toward that point as to permit
the delegates to direct their attention
undoubtedly to settlement of the re-
naming issues in the far east.
The Chinese and Japanese delegates
continued today their efforts to dis
pose of further collateral questions in
the Shantung negotiations while
awaiting fresh instructions from Pek-
ing and Toxic bearing on the com
promise proposals for settlement c.

for restoration to China of the Using

PRIVACY OF HOMES
Will Be RESPECTED
BY POLICE OFFICERS

Privacy in the homes in Richmond
searching for liquor law violators un-
less the police department has good
reasons 20 believe that it is being
kept FOR safe at the place searched, -
Mayor Handley said when asked about
the liquor enforcement program in this
city Monday.
We have no desire to stop the play
ing of cards in private homes for
prizes or interfering with the personal
liberty of the people so long as such
actions do not injure others, but
games that are run on a commercial
basis should receive the attention OF
the police"
in order that the citizens of Rich.
mond may not misunderstood the atti
tude of the mayor on law enforcement,
it might be well to state that he is
following the statement made by him
prior to and since the election, viz,
That boards and heads of departments
will be selected for their fitness and
willingness to work and will not then
be interferred with by the mayor or
the personnel of the departments be
dictated by him.
He has named a police board and
a superintendent and he has not in
structed them to do this or that, and
the enforcement of the law is in their
hands. However, any cases brought
before the mayor as police judge will
be disposed of in accordance with the
law and evidence in each case"
Citizens of Richmond who have been
laboring under the belief that they are
permitted under the laws of Indiana
to possess intoxicating liquors in any
quantity and for any purpose, have
been mistaken, according to local at
torneyS
The Indiana prohibition law is a
bone dry law. No beverage contain
ing more than one-half of one pei
cent of alcohol is permitted.
The Indiana law provides that any
persons found violating the prohibi
tion law must be given a minimum
fine of 800 and costs, to which may
be added jail sentence of from sc
days to six months. On the second of
fense the minimum fine is 5000 and a
jail sentence of from 80 days to six
months is compulsory.

REFUNDIhG MEASURE
REPORTED FAVORABLE
(Bv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-With the
provisions suggested by Secretary
Mellon eliminated, the allied foreign
debt .refunding bill was favorably re-
ported today to the senate by its fl
nance committee.
Chairman McCumber said it was the
purpose to press the measure for pass
age without waiting for the adjourn
ment of the arms conference. Except
for a provision that the refunded
bonds to be accepted from the foreign
governments shall mature not later
than June Is, 1947. the measure vir-
tually is in the form in which it was
passed by the house last October
It proposes a commission of five to
conduct the refunding negotiations, of
which the secretary of the treasury
would be chairman. The other four
members would be appointed by the
president "by and with the consent of
the state"
Provisions previously written into
the measure by the committee and
eliminated today would have provided
that interest payments be made semi
annually and that the rate of interest
be not less than five per cent.
Democrat members of the commit
tee had insisted on these provisions,
and after the elimination the Demo
Gratis present today, Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina and Senator
Jones of New Mexico, voted against
reporting the measure.

Der.
Dublin castle, the ancient seat of
British authority in Ireland, occupies
about 10 acres of ground. but except
ing ST. Patricks hall the apartments
are small and the building is of Il
motley and unimposing appearance
One exception to this is the chapel. a
Gothic building of the early 18th cen
tury.
The castle was originally built in
the first two decades of the 18th cen
tury, and there are still some portion;
of the building that were constructed
i'll this period. But nearly all of the
structure is of the 18th century and
later.
LONDON. Jan. 16.-Dublin advices
ments at Dublin castle will be handed
over to the cabinet of the new Irish
provisional government today.
Accounts differ as to the form the
ceremony is to take, but one generally
accepted is that the Irish ministers
viii visit the castle and there be re-
ceived by the viceroy who will form
ally hand over the offices.
! There are some reports, however,
| there will be no formal transfer and
that the cabinet will ask the existing
heads of departments to continue their
work until the new government gains
firm seat in the saddle, when busi-
ness gradually would pass into its
hands without publicity.
/ At any rate, matters seem tacitly
arranged and there is every indiction
that the transfer will occur smoothly
and in accordance with the wishes of
the new government
1t is reported in Dublin that the
boycott on British goods will be re-
yoked soon.
Several of the London morning
newspapers allude appreciatively TO

land parliament Saturday, which they
! regard as dignified and business like.
