Split In WFTU Inevitable, Says Deakin
Paris, Jan. 17.-The President of the World Federation of Trade Unions, Mr Arthur Deakin, declared in Paris tonight that a split in the Federa tion appeared inevitable.
"I think it will be so clear that an agreement cannot be reached that there will be no point or pur- pose in taking a vote," he said.

Mr Deakin told reporters that no agreement seemed possible on the British Trados Union Congress proposal that the WFTU should suspend its func- tions for one ycar. "That means we shall terminate our association with the WFTU," he said.
British, United States and Dutch trade unions, representing more than 15 million workers, are likely to leave, the Federation if the split
occurs.
Asked when the walkout would be. Mr Deakin said: "I do not think we can carry on a meaningless dis- cussion for an unlimited period."

CHIEF JUSTICE'S ADDRESS AT OPENING OF FIRST ASSIZES

Of 288 persons indicted at the Assizes during the year, 261 were convicted-an indication, said Sir Leslie, of the care with which the police carry out investiga tions in the Colony.
