from the British Government, bat on this occasion he appears to have overstepped himself. By insisting on the discpasion of the Sudan, which really did not come within the purview of the Conference, he has lost the very liberal concessions which Mr. Henderson was prepared to make last year. The net result is that the status quo is maintain-been ed, and the position as between Britain and Egypt remains precise ly as it was before the negotiations of August last were concluded, on the basis of a draft Treaty. We view the breakdown of the parley as being infinitely preferable to the granting of any new concessions. Mr. Henderson and his colleagues have made it clear that when they stated that the previous

that the nor sorry negotiations have come to naught. It will be recalled that in August last, negotiations were carried on with Mahmoud Pasha, the

Wafdist Premier, and that a draft Treaty was evolved which was of- ficially declared to represent the limit to which Britain extreme could go. When Nahas Pasha was appointed head of the Government, it became necessary to take up the question afresh, and what has trans- pired since has made it abundantly clear that he has sought to wring fresh concessions from Britain, far in excess of those contemplated by the draft Treaty of last year.

A typically Irish name is. Molly Maguire. It suggests one of those laughing bright- eyed colleens, who disported themselves so prettily in the novels and poular songs of last century. So much for one's pleasing fancies...

The Molly Mauguires of stern fact were very far from being heroines of romance: They were stalwart yoang Irishmen, members of a secret society, founded in the eighteen forties to oppose the collection of extortionate rents and payments by the agents of absentee landlords. When engaged on this work, members wore women's clothes a disguise. Their eyes may have been bright, as they ducked their victims into bog- holes, or flogged or murdered them, but their laughter can

Even if they were detectad and arrested, Molly Maguires were rarely found guilty by. any Irish jury. Ten to one, the chance was that the Judge was a Molly Maguire, and most of the jurors too. Not even in cases of murder was It easy to obtain a conviction, widespread was their organisation.
