The fire fe believed to have - originated through spontaneous combustion among oily rags in the building. When the call to this fire was received, and having in view a recent resolution adopted by the City Council which has the effect of prohibiting the Department from going outside the city limits, the chairman of the Fira Protection Committee, Ald. George Morris, advised against answering this call. When the Mayor was appealed to, however, the necessary permission was giv- en for the apparatus to go to Harmony.

"~ - 'rish Free State Exports to Britain on Same Basis as Those of Foreign Nation 15.--Expiration of Imperial preferences granted the dominions under the tariff act of last Autumn today placed on imports of goods from the Irish Free State duties ranging from 10 per cent. in the case of manufactured articles to 50 per cent. in the case of cattle, From the stroke of midnight the new duties became effective and, as far as trade relations be- tween it and the United Kingdom were concerned, the Free State became a foreign country, Its goods became subject to the gen- eral 10 per cent. tariff of the United Kingdom, in addition to special duties imposed on some London, Nov. farm products by which Great Britain hopes to recoup the amount of land annuities which the Free State has refused to pay the Bank of England. Failure to comply with British terms in a proposed settlement of the land annuities question forced the Free State delegation to return from last Summer's Ot- tawa Economic Conference with- out an agreement with the United Kingdom. Its continued ' refusal to meet those terms resulted in the institution by Britain of special duties against certain Free State products constituting the bulk of that country's ex- ports.

I feel hound to say that such talk as.that in which Mr. Watkinson in- dulged ought not tn come . from an organization bear- ing the prefix 'Christian' for. it given credence, it should, be calculated to disrupt thg political, social and church life of Canada, and such I had not understood to be the purpose of the Christian Social Brotherhood.
