They are also giving him facilitics to tour both sides of the border and study the economic, and geographic conditions.

Meantime Mr. Justice Feetham appeals to the Anglo Irish public and press to abstain from controversial comment on questions involved in article 12 of the Treaty.

Note: A London message of June 4 stated that Mr. Ramsay" Macdonald, in the House of Gemmons, jstimated that the Government had secured a chairman for the Boundary Commission. He would announce the nagie to-morrow..

The Government had iso depided to ask the judicial committee to advise thein regarding the. legal and constitutional powers to constitute the Commission.

The committee would include the Chief Justice of Australia and he hoped also a member of the Canadian bench.

There was every roason to believe the judicial committee would be able to sit and resolve the

sues in July.

A message, dated June 5, read: In the House of Commons Mr. MacDonald announced with the full approval of the South African Government that Mr. Justice Feetham has accepted the chairmanship of the Irish Boundary Commission and leaves for England next week.{
