MUNIOR, June 19. A YOUNG workman was cruelly
beaten to death outside" the Cathedral here yesterday by Nazi "Brown Shirts," following a Nazi raid, on a Catholic Congress of

The raid took place with remark able suddenness, and the Congress was quickly broken up by the Nazis, who, it is alleged, ware incensed at the sight of the delegates waar ing uniforms.
Thousands of the delegates, in eluding Vice-Chancellor Von Papen, hastily left the building, but many were roughly, handled before they could get away.
After the building had been cleared, the Nazis followed up their vicious attack in the streets, while a number of delegates were dragged from their beds.

LONDON, June 11,
THE Morning Post correspon- dent in Dublin states that as a sequel to the Roman Catholic Hierarchy's denunciations of Com munism, there has been a split in the headquarters staff of the Irish Republican Army.
Some of the most prominent leaders of the Army have broken away and hope to form a Rod Army, noting under the inspiration of the newly-formed Irish Com- munist Party.
The situation is complicated by the extensive gun-running on the South coast of Ireland, and last week, cargoes of arms, believed to have been sent from Russia were reported to have been landed on the coast of Cork.
There is great military activity in Cork, and Waterford, and Irish Free State aeroplanes are patrol- ling the coast, watching for gun- running vessels.

HAS TAKEN PLACE.
ABUNDANCE OF PRODUCTION CREATES NEW
PROBLEMS
On the contrary discovery, invention and organisation have multiplied these possibilities to such an extent that the abundance. of production itself has created new problems. Together with this amazing material of progress there has come a new recognition of inter-dependence of nations, and the value of collaboration be tween them. How is the opportunity to harness this new conscious- ness of common interests to the services of mankind. -
In the firm belief that mutual consultation, of the first step to wards the right action, I inaugurate the Conference and shall follow its deliberations with the most close interest and attention. I pray that the results of your labours will set the world once more on the path of prosperity and ordered progress.

"The Lausanne Agreement must be completed and is a vexed ques tion to be settled once and for all in the light of the present world greater condition,"
He said there authority gathered in this hall than perhaps had ever been brought under one roof in the whole history of the world.
Mr. MacDopaid emphasized the magnitude of the problem, pointing out that the world had for some years been suffering from economic decline which had closed factories, limited employment, reduced the standard of living and brought some states on the verge of bank- ruptcy. It had inflicted on others recurring unbalanced budgets since 1929. Prices had fallen well below the line at which production was remunerative. This added oppres sively to the burden of the world's indebtedness to the general crisis which was accentuated by restric tions, tariffs, qutoas, exchange con- trol and had reduced international trade to less than three-quarters of its volume and half the price, and world unemployment had reached thirty million.

Mr. MacDonald recalled that the.. Conference was summoned as a sequel to Lausanne. He said the
work in the intervening months had not been made easier, indeed the problems, in some respects, were intensified, but it was useless post- paning the Conference until circuin stances were more promising.
