THE conservative liberals and the
I tory leaders agreed to cut out
three-cornered contests where such
a situation would favor the labor can
didate. But many liberals hate the
tories more than they hate the labor
ties so the bargain will be all at the
expense of the poor old liberal party.
1t is reported that Lloyd George is
angling for a big position in a
coalition government, but the tory
leaders are supposed to be cunning
for him and sharpening their knives
for his scalp. The bible-thumping
Welsh revivalist is not the kind of
leader the cold blooded and dignifed
tories want.
THE German workers are getting
ready to pass their Judgment on

done all the harm he possibly could to
the working class movement he isready
to step down from the presidency and
turn his chair over to Wilhelm Marx,

and the centre party are supporting
the Dawes Plan while the Communists
are opposing it from the point of view

NO TRUCE BETWEEN
 BRITISH PARTIES
Approval Of Budget by Liberals Does Not Imply Reconciliation
By The Associated Press.

9s The -AsSotlaleu fIcss.
 London, May 1.-The warm appro- val of the budget by the liberal lead CTS and representatives in parliament does not imply complete reconcilia- tion between the liberals and labor ites. according to the political writers this morning.
 The effect of the laborites attitude toward the party which put them in tffice and keeps them there still ranklcs in the breasts Of the liberals, the writers say. and forgiveness is to depend on the line labor takes regard ing the liberal bill establishing pro- portional representation which comes up for its second reading in the house of commons tomorrow.
 This measure is very dear 10 most liberals, but the laborites are not wholly in love with it and Prime Min ister Macdonald has made some de- nunciatory statements regarding the proportional representation system in the past.
 The liberal party meeting held yes terday discussed the bill and is re- ported 10 have virtually recided upon an ultimatum to the prime minister demanding its passage as the price for continued liberal support of the government.
 This perhaps puts the position in a somewhat exaggerated form. But the official report Of the meeting says il was decided to conduct an intensive liberal campaign throughout the country. The extent and nature of which was to be arranged after the result Of the division on the bill, which the government would mean while be asked 10 support.
 Referring to this, the liberal Vest minister Gazette's political corres- pondent says the issue of propor- iional representation has become the turning point in the relations between the liberal and labor parties, but he adds that the attitude Of the govern ment last night was friendly and pointed to some accommodation on inc matter.
 The parliamentary writer Of the Daily News also says the nature and extent of the campaign promised by the liberals will be influenced by inc governments response to the partys demand for electoral reform.

 COVerieS in South America

That Masonry existed in America
 and that symbols and ceremonies
 were familiar 10 the Inca Indians of Peru, South America, thousands of years before Columbus crossed the i waters or inc Spaniards first con-
 quered Latin America, was stated 10 New Britain Masons last evening by Lieutcnant- Governor Hiram Bing- 1 ham. who, as Yale professor, has
 conducted several exploration and re- search trips through almost inacces- sible places in the Andes mountains. i The lientenant- governor illustrated
 his lecture with colored slides of 1 photographs he took while on several
 of his trips through Peru. He told
 about the life and customs of the Incas and traced their development for many years. He showed photo graphs of many Masonic temples
 which were uncovered among the
 ruins of ancient cities by his party, containing in a remarkably well pre- served manner symbols of basic an- cient masonry and including some
  come a lost art. He even saw in per son groups of uncirilized Indians playing at game they had been taught by their fathers and which came down through centuries of tra- dition parts of which he recognized as the working of degree. almost as it is worked in modern lodge rooms. Other evidence found in his- torical documents showed that an- eient rite masonry was practiced among the Incas as far back as their civilization could be traced which has been estimated ot be from 10000 to a5.o00 years.
 The speaker described the supposed origin of Mansory, of which he said there are no known records. the be- ginning of the order going back into the dark ages before there were any permanent records, and traced it's development up 10 the present cen tury. lIe' described how centuries ago. one man among the Indians in- vented some sort Of a crude method of making records on the leaves Of banana trees. but the method was abandoned by order of an Inca king who was afraid it would bring bad luck.

IL also notes that the import duties on gloves and glass hollow ware lapse on August 19.
 The report further observes that businecs remains unsettled through several labor disputes, notably in the mining and shipping industries.
 The increased London port charges have drawn protests from the Lon don chamber of commerce and the Baltic exchange. The foreign coal buyers now are holding off and prices are failing, Continental competition in iron and steel has been almost elim- mated with the rise Of the franc,
