There seems to be a feeling in thecapitals of both countriesxthat the crisis in their relations with Germany will come in about one month's time. What- ' ever the foundation, there is a conviction that Germany will then have some propc-sals to make looking toward the discharging of her reparation contracts and that these will be" of an acceptable nature to both France and Belgium. In the interim there have `been a number of ugly incidents in M the occupied areas, including the murder of two_French officials and the killing of .1 vu uu u|_u measure due to the reluctance of Italy to make further commitments which might involve the employment of force and additional financial burdens.

The Irish Free State government which, is conducting a. most `aggressive campaign[ against the Republicans, has also resumed` executions of men found in possession of] arms`. Seven such were shot in one day. This phase of reprisals comes after 9. long interval, and seems to have been a shock to many people in Ireland itself and in Britain. It is impossible to see what else the Free State government can do under the circumst-ance.s.~ Leniency has been` Labor" Receiving Attention: With the King receiving Labor leaders; going; to rule` Britain soon, it is interesting to` note that the Countess of Warwick hasl , offered to the party the use of her finei * country `house Eastern Lodge near Dunn E : J and the latter convinced that they are ! i I mow, as a place of rest. and recreation} or for the holding of conferences among themselves or with foreignivisitors. Thei offer is said toave been accepted. The; Coyntcss has long professed Socialism and; has had the friendship! and confidence of! many Labor men for years. H. G. Wells. who. has a country house near Eastern! Lodge," has offered it as anvoverflow meet`-"i ing and recreation place for the Laborf party, while over four` hundred Anglican! Scottish Episcopalians have presented to} Ramsay MacDonald, House leader of theiz party, a congratulatory address on A tlfel party having become the official opposition. It expresses the opinion that the Laborgi party will find a remedyfor many of` the evils the people suffer from. These are sig- ;. nificant actions. They indicate that manyi people. outside of the party, do not be-`] lieve that its advent to power would be detrimental to British interests. ' I 3 . Lahorites in Knee Breeches s A great deal of potbor is heard in some; - circles on 'b6*h sides of the Atlantic about: the courtesies extended to the leaders of Queen. It seems to have been forgotten byf some of the commentators that the` Labor-: ites `now consitute. the official opposition,` in the British House of Commons, and it; is notimprobable that they may be called; upon to form, a government before many: I years have passed. The present` Ki_ng. like} ~ his father, King Edward, makes it` a rule; to meet men-of all shades of politics and re- ligion. The controversy as to the wearing! of the costumes including silk knee breeches. ; by some of the Labor Party leaders, who; attended a reception given by the King, is: being continued with bitterness by advanced E factions of that party. Generally speak-5 ing, however, the British public has a2 keen sense of humor and one may,safelyf bet that the British newspapers` and periods! icals will spice their-comments on the mat- 9 I the British Labor Party by the King andi ' terv with far more real niirth--provoking? 7 Isallies than any oftheir contemporaries in; foreign lands could achieve. ' B I I .4 I Canadian Store cattle For Britain . `The first shipment of Canadian store` 7 cattle to Britain in twenty-five years is on; ' its way across the Atlantic as the result of: the removal of the cattle embargo. All ' space on available ships from now to the: ' first of May is contracted for, and the ex~f ` pectations of cattle men in this country is; that a big business will develop with the t Old Land. Several of `these steamers haveT been chartered by British cattle feedersx who are anxious to get consignments ofi Canadian cattle and finish them in the= home land before slaughtering for the market. So long as the, Fordney tariff is; up against thi country's exports to the, United States the cattle business with Bri-` tain is likely to flourish. Whether it will` bevpossible to extend it to other overseasgt countries at a profit remains to be seen. ; -v-`nun o rssuuluu 6 In spite of the anxiety" ower the` Ruhr} situation, Belgium while operating with France is keeping on a most friendly; foo`-; ing~ with Britain. She hasmefused to enter into any parleys with Germany to which;. Britain is not a party.

Of course, the methods employed are necessarily slow, and not commercially suitable, but these men got a winter's supply of fuel, at only cost of `labor. It is understood other farmers are. going to follow the example set, and this summer get out peat to carry them over a possible fuel shortage next winter.
