LAND ANNUITIES BEING SET ASIDE

HOPE OF ARBITRATION

THERE

LONDON, JULY 4. THERE WAS A SURPRISING AND DRAMATIC DEVELOPMENT DURING THE DEBATE IN THE COMMONS THIS AFTERNOON ON THE MO- TION FOR THE IMPOSITION OF CUSTOMS DUTIES ON IRISH GOODS, WHEN MR. J. H. THOMAS INTERVENED WITH AN ANNOUNCE- MENT THAT HE HAD JUST LEARNED OFFICIAL- LY THAT MR. DE VALERA'WAS SETTING ASIDE THE DISPUTED LAND ANNUITIES SUMS, PEND- ING ARBITRATION.

MR.

JR. DE VALERA, whose last minute announce. ment that he was prepared to submit the payment of Irish land annuities to arbitration, caused a dramatic, scone in the House of Commons de- bate on the Irish tariff pro- posals which are aimed to offset the non-payment of the Annuities.

"That simplifies the matter," said Mr. Thomas, add- MANCHURIA ing that even at this stage the British Government would agree to arbitration, but it must be by an Empire Court.

Prior to this, Mr. Thomas had indicated that. Mr. de Valera had refused a Commonwealth Tribunal, and this left the British

·Government with no alternative but to impose the duties.

Subsequently, in spite of the new development, the House of Commons approved the resolution imposing the duties.

KING CAROL SILENCES UPROAR

SCENE OUTSIDE PALACE

Vienna, July 5.

A lively demonstration outside the Royal Palace at Bucharest, in which rioters indulged in stone-throwing and fighting, was only sup- pressed when King Carol in- tervened.

It appears that a large crowd, comprising rival adherents of the People's Party and the Peasanta' Party, met beneath the balcony of the Palace and engaged in a free light.

Shout of "Down with the King and the Lupescu Petticoat Govern-
