efforts
to reach
a
settlemeat
es the Irish
difficulties.
The
idea generally favoured
is that
some prominent
men
like General
Smuts,
"remier
of
the
Union
of South
Afrieca, Viscount
Grey
and
the Earl of
Derby shouia
be designated
by, the Govt.
to
meet
a
delegation
representing
the
Northern
and
Soutbern
Irish
Parlia-
ments
and
endeavour
to
negotiate
an
acceptable
compromise.
Although
no-
thing
efinite
can
be
learned,
thereis
an impression
that
the
Govt.
is about
to
make
some
new
attempt
in
this
new
direction.
Londen,

-The long spell of
hot
weather
has
given the bat absolute
supremacy
in county
cricket.
This week
nearly every

been
big-
ger than
usual,
and fully thirty-three
fig-
ure
individual
scores
have
been
made.
The highest
scores
were Freaman,
Essex
286,
Rhodes,
Yorkshire
267
not
out,
Bardsiey,
Australia,
209.
The
Austra-
lians
in their match
against

today
made
708

th2 high-
est innings
ever
made
by
an Australian

Ottawa,

West
Indies
trade
agreement
went into effect
today,
Canadian
produ~ts
will
go
into
the british
West
Indies,
which have
rat-
fied
the
agreement,
and
a
preference
amouating
in some
cases
to fifty per cent
and
theirs
in turn
will come
into Canada
at
a preference.
Much
is
hoped
for
un-
der this agreement
by tae
proponents
of
this plan.
Some
hope
to
do
away
with
Canada’s
devendence
on
the
Southern
States
for fruits and
certain
hard
woods
and
in turn to
displace
American
articles
of manutacture

into the
British
West

to :he
value of many
miliion
of dollars.
