He declared that the desire for now "stands revealed in all its nakedness for the prevention of the peace had never been so strong and widespread amongst all classes in real reconstruction of the world." Ireland. He strangly urged the opening of official negotiations for AD armistice."

The Irony of It!

London, December 6. By a curious irony, when the members of the Dublin Cor poration were arrested, two resolutions were being discussed, the first urging the well-disposed to call a trace for a month for the purpose of promoting peace and goodwill amongst all sections, and

the proposed establishment of a Committee to pursue a policy of reconciliation, and the second calling on all parties to cease but rages and t› work for peace.

AMERICA AND TRADE.

Keen Competition Being Felt.

Washington, December 6. Mr. Colby is asking Congress to increase by nearly three million dollars the appropriation for the State Department. He explains that America is finding itself in keen commercial competition with other nations which are reviving after the war and intensifying their efforts to gain fresh foreign markets, seite markets formerly controlled by enemy Powers and attain a high degree of economic production. Therefore, an adequate staff of technical experts is needed in the American Foreign Service.

U.S. Government Wins an Action.

New York, December 6. The Government has won its auit against the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company and the Lehigh Coal and Sales Company, which is affiliated to the Railway Company. The Court decided that the. ormation of the Lehigh Coal Sales Company violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Law and ordered a redistribution of the shares of the Railroad Company, as requested by the Govertment.

TRADE DEPRESSION.

The Unfortunate Consumer Blamed....

New York, December 6. The Federal Reserve Board's monthly review does at foresee any early relief for the present business depression, which it ascribes to be chiefly due to the consumers' evident de-rmination to await a fall in prices. Favourable elements of the immediate future are improvement in transportation and easing of credit conditions.

WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESS.

Closer Co-operation Promised.

Washington, December 6. Congress opened to-day. President-Elec Harding was present in the Senate and was greeted with applause. In response to the ovation, he made a brief speech, forecasting a period of closer and more friendly co-operation between White House and Congress.
