Parliament. _ (Canadian Press Despatch) Ottawa, Feb. 3. -- Three weeks from Thursday parliament opens for what may prove to be the last ses- sion for the present government. The alr is agog with prophecies. There is considerable discussion of the ses- sional programme, but the talk is ra- ther of sessional probabilities than of programmes whether or not the session will end in a general elec- tion. In government circles the situa- tion is admitted to present pitfalls. None the less there is a confident ex- pectation expressed that the govern- ment will weather the storm and re- main in power at any rate until af- ter redistribution which will follow the census of next year. Apparently the outcome of the session will de- pend largely on the strength of Hon. T. A. Crerar, former Minister of Ag- riculture. The rapid growth of the farmers movement in the west and Ontario, and indications that it is spreading into the Maritime provin- ces and even to a certain extent in Quebec give to Mr. Crerar an un- Questioned position of power. Last year an opposition tariff amendment was defeated by fifty- one votes but it had the support of fourteen liberal Unionists. Tariff amendment by Mr. Crerar support- ers along lines of the farmers plat- form, might very conceivably attract a much large measure of support from rural members and the Gov- ernment be defeated. On the other hand it is questioned if Mr. Crerar could secure the measure of support from Unionist members necessary to defeat the Government. 'Parliament has still technically three years to run. It is improbable that the gene- ral elections would return more than a comparatively small proportion of the present rank and file of the House of Commons. ASQUITH WOULD GIVE IRELAND SOME POWER Would Put Customs and Excise Into Hands of New Irish Parliament. (Canad®an Press Despatch) Paisley, Scotland, Feb, 3.-- Mr. Asquith devoted himself last night to the Irish question. He declared that the only effectual means of getting at the root of the Irish trouble was a generous system of Irish government He was, he said, prepared to give the new Irish parliament contyol over customs and excise in order that the Irish might be in 8 respect on the same footing as self-governing dom- inlons. He would not refuse to con- sider dispassionately any scheme of settlement for Ireland which the Government might bring forward, but 2 Jhaat be a permanent settle- men was not supposed that an Irish parliament would mike any- thing in the nature of a predatory system of fiscal injustice against Ul- ster.

COST 700 MILLIONS. To Run the Railways of United States Last Year, s 'Washington, Feb. 3.-- Operation of the railroads, pullman lines, express companies and waterways, unified under federal control, has cost the nation approximately $700,000,0002 according to official calculation, since they were taken over two years ago. Figures made public by the railroad administration revealed a net loss of $594,200,000 from railroad operation alone in the two year period.
