FIGHT ON PREMIER
OPENS IN COMMONS
Dropping Case Against Com
munist Editor Made Issue.
Irish Bill Moved.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 30-Stormy
scenes occurred in the House of
Commons today during the question
ing of Attorney General Patrick
Hastings with regard to the myster-
ious abandoning of prosecution on
the charge of sedition of the editor
Of the Communist paper, Workers
Weekly.
Prime Minister Macdonald declared
he was not willing to allow an ex-
posure at this time of the real cir
cumstances of the case and urged
that further consideration of it be
postponed until the regular Autumn
session of the House. To this, all
parties agreed.
Case Goes Over Week.
Thus the case which has been more
or less of burning topic since early
August, will be taken up by the
House next week. while the House of
Lords is dealing with the Irish bill
Censure Vote Hinted. i
Former Prime Minister Baldwin,
Conservative leader, hinted during the
discussion today that the opposition
might move vote or cenSure wnen
the matter is taken up.
The attorney general asserted that
the Communist party desired to make
a martyr of the editor through prose-
cution. and declared that when he
decided to withdraw the proceedings
he had not been approached by any
person, either a member of the gov
ernmentt or otherwise.
Premier Macdonald said he had not
been consulted in regard either to
the institution or withdrawal of the
charges.
The attorney general concluded by
stating that after a thorough investi-
cation he had decided the editor was
not criminally responsible and the
facts of the case did not warrant
prosecution.
Prime Minister Macdonald moved
second reading in the House of Com
mons today of the bill providing for
the creation of an Irish boundary
commission without the participation
of Ulster.
In making the motion, the pre-
mier declared it was the essential
duty of every government to fulfill
its obligations. He said he resented
the charge that the governments
move was an attempt to coerce
Ulster.
Hoped for Compromise.
Up to the last it was hoped that the
Irish Free State and Northern Ireland
would come to an agreement without
outside interference. but the boundary
commission provided for in the Anglo
Irish treaty, whose duties would be to
settle the frontier "in accordance with
the wishes of the Inhabitants remained
unorganiZed.
This made necessary the calling of
the emergency session of parliament
to consider the boundary delimina-
tlon measure. There is doubt wheth-

New York.-The policy of the

Secretary Hughes in an address
here as "the greatest contribu.
ton directly within our power.
and in accord with our estab-
lished traditions and manifest in.
terest, to the cause of world
peace"
Speaking before a meeting Of the
Council on Foreign Relations, Mr.
Hughes also outlined the purposes Of
the liquor treaty with Great Britain
signed in Washington.
The Secretary's discussion Of Mexico
was prefaced by recital of the steps
that led up to the signing of the two
claims conventions by which the obre
gon Government was accorded diplo.
matte recognition.
AIter this happy result had been
achieved, he continued, "and we were
looking forward to a period Of quiet
ana TO opportunities of advantage to
ooth peoples, suddenly there was an
attempt to overthrow the established
government OF Mexico by violence. 1t
Is plain that the purpose of those en-
gagged IN this enterprise of arms is
simply to determine by forcible meas

obregon.

the aspirations Of an oppressed peo-
pie; 1t is a matter Of personal poll

Mr. Hughes then touched on the re-
quest of the Mexican Government to
purchase arms and ammunition from
the United States. To refuse. he said.

Washington. The treaty be
tween the United States and
Great Britain fixing new
''booze boundary" for this coun
try was signed by Secretary Of
State Hughes and Sir Auckland
Geddes, retiring British Ambas
sador to Washington.
The treaty provides for an exten
sion Of the three-mile limit of Ameri

by American authorities.
The same extension applies, theo
retically, to British ports. for preven
tion Of smuggling, etc.
The principal features of the treaty
which Is to serve as model for SINH
lar treaties with the other maritime
powers. are:
1. Extension of the traditional
bhree-mile limit at sea to an hours
sailing distance to facilitate the
American authorities in apprehendine
rum-smuggling vessels of the coasts
The original Hughes proposal was
to extend the three-mile limit to l:
miles, but it is understood that this
has been changed to "an hours sailins
distance
2. Permission to British passenger
vessels to bring liquor, destined only
for consumption after leaving Ameri
can ports, into the waters of the
United States under seal. Thus the
treaty will override the Supreme
Courts Interpretation Of the prohibi
tion laws.
The treaty also is understood tc
make some provision for possible
opinion by the Supreme Court that ii
is unconstitutional by providing that
should any Of its terms be so declared
all Of the agreement would become
void.

If not in letter, a violation of the
conception Of the treaty obIiga-
tions of the United States, in the

This attitude is understood to have
been made clear to the Mexico City
Government and is expected to result
In the dropping Of negotiations with
private American shipowners for the
purchase Of vessels which the Mexican
Government intended to use against
rebel gunboats.
The original desire Of the Obregon
Government was to purchase from the
Government of the United States not
only army equipment but several light
naval craft Of guboat or destroyer
type. The Washington naval limita-

bids the signatory powers to dispose
Of any war craft in any manner which
will permit them to become a part Of
the naval forces of any country.
