He declared that Britain had exercised moderation and · pa- tfence and had acted none too soon and none too strongly.

Mr. "Will Thorne (Labour) ask- ed if the Declaration of 1922 must stand for ever.

The crime for which the four men were electrocuted was the murder at Jolo of another Moro named Hassan, on May 10, 1926, for the purpose of robbery. The quartette secured P60 ns the re- sult of their crime.

Efforts were made to secure A commutation of sentence for the condemned men but Governor Gen- eral Stimson, after a careful study interfere of the case, declined to and permitted the law to take its
