THE
VOICE OF MANY.
TELEGRA MS.
ST. CROIX STATION:
London,
Jan.
2iad.— The
reception
ac-
corded the Prince
of
Wales
at
Rangoon
was
a
notable
success,
surpassing
any-
thing the local Government
had
dared
to
hope, according
to official advices
receiv-
ed today.
Large crowds,
averaging
five
rows deep,
lined
the
route
of
the
pro-
S 5 1. CHRUL
R
A
Y1
b
cession,
which
passed
mainly
through
th= Burmese
and
Indian quarters,
the
In-
dians predominating
in the crowds,
which
were
well behaved.
No friction with the
police
occurred
and
frequent
outbursts
of
spontaneous
cheering
greeted
the
Prince.
The
advices
said
rumours
of
trouble kept
the
Burmese
outside
Ran-
goon
from attending
the
reception,
but
with the exception
of the closing down of
some
of the Indian
stails
in the
Bazaar,
which
were
re-opened
before
noon,
the
boventt
is
said
to
have
been
wholly in-
effective.
London,
Jan.
2nd.—The
political pro-
phets
were
active
on the platform and in
the press
over
the
weekend,
and
many
of
them
~ow
maintain
that
February
is likely to
see
a
general election.
Mr.
Lloyd George
is
said
to
be
in favour of
an election
next
month,
although
he
is
meeting
the
opposition
of
an influential
group
of
Coalitionists.
The
Pall
Mall
newspaper
tonight
says
there
arec
twe
camps,
one
headed
by Lord ‘Birkenhead,
favouring an appeal
to the country later,
after the
Government
plan
for
reform-
ing the
House
of
Lords
has
taken
de-
finite shape.
The
Premier’s
speach
to
the
Coalition
Liberals
in
Loadon-
on
January
25th
is
keenly
awaited.
Mr.
MeCurdy,
Chief
Liberal whip,
when
in-
terviewed today said:
‘'We are building
a temple for Liberalism,
and
Mr. Lloyd
George
will, I hope,
lay
the
cornerstone.
You
cannot
put
the
new wine
of
post-
war liberalism into the old party
bottles.
The old liberal cauecas
is only a splintered
mess
awaiting the
dustpan.’’
Washington,
Jan.
2nd. —While
practi-
cally all the machinery of the Arms
Con-
ference
stood
still
over
the
New Year
holiday, the unofficial
delegation
of
the
Far
Eastern
republic
took
advantage
of
the lull to press
their charges
of a
secret
French Japanese
understanding
for
per-
petuation
of Japanese
control
in
Siberia
The Far Eastern
delegates
declared
that
proof
of
their
charges,
already
de-
nied
by
both
the
French
and
Japa-
nese
delegates,
could
be
obtained
by
examination
of
original
documents
in
the archives
of
the
Far
KEastern
Govt.
at
China.
They
suggested
that
such
an
enquiry
be
made
by
United
States
consular
officials,
so
that
the
results
might be known
to the
conference
when
it takes
up consideration
of
the Siberian
problems.

of Count
Julius
Andrassy
from
prison.

Chicago, Jan.
2nd.—The
Chicago banks
with
resources
of
more
than 85,000,000
were
sold
tonight,
after
the
Chicago
clearing house
committee
had
conducted
an examination
and
found
their
assets
had been impaired by bad
loans
and
in-
vestments.
After two days
negotiations
the
Fort
Dearborn
bank
and
the
Fort
Dearbornn
Trust
and Savings
bank
were
purchased
by
the
continental
and
com-
mercial
trust
and
savings
bank.
Mem-
bers
of
the
clearing
house
committee
pooled guarantees
totalling 2,500,000
to
protect
depositors
against
any
loss.
The
Clearing
house
announced
that faffer
a
special
exa nination
of the
Drivers
Bank
and Drovers Trust
Savings
Bank,
owned
by the same
interests
of the
Fort
Dear-
born Banks,
both
institutions
had
been
found to be solvent.
All directors
repre-
senting
the old
Fort
Dearborn
interests
in the Drovers
Bank resigned
and
were
replaced
by
new
men
William
A.
Til-
den
President
of
ithe
Fort
Dearborn
banks
called
in the Clearing House
Com-
mittee
last
Thursday
and
asked
assst-
ance
in straightening
out
the
tangled
affairs of
the
two
institutions
By
to-
nights
merger,
bankers
said
the
most
serious
financial
crisis
which had
threat-
ened
Laselle Street
since
the
collapse
of
John R.
Walsh’s Chicago
National
Bank
more
than
a decade
ago,
was averted.
Panama,
Jan
3rd.--An
:arthquake
lasting abouta minute
occurred
at
one
o’clock
yesterday
morning
shaking
up
the city somewhat,
but doing
no
dama
e
either
here
or along
the
Panama
Canal.
The
centre
of
the
shock
was
about
60
miles
distant.
Belfast,
Jan.
3rd.—Cardinal
Logue,
the
Primate
of Ireland,
addressing
the
congregation
in
the
Armagh Cathedral,
asked
it to
pray
‘‘that
it
might
please
Almighty God to
save
them
from
such
misfortune’’
as
the
rejection
of
the
Anglo-Irish
treaty
which held
the
only
hope
of
peace
and
tranquility
for
Ire-
land.
The
only
alternative
to
ratifica-
tion,
declared
Cardinal Logue,
was
that
the country
would be
thrown
back into a
state
even
move
drastically
oppressive,
than
that through
which
it has
already
passed.
The
treaty
seemed
to give
sub-
stantially
all that
was
aecessary
for
the
welfare and
progress
of the country,
he
told his hearars.
Dublin,
Jan.
3rd.—The
Dail
Eireann
lost
no time after
convening
today
fol-
lowing
its
holiday’s recess,
in plunging
again
into sharp
debate
on ithe
Anglo-
Irish
agreement.
It
has
before it once
more
an order
of the day
ecalling for con-
sideration
of both
Arthur Griffith’s ratifi-
cation
motion and
Eamonn
De
Valera’s
alternative
proposals,
it
was not
gener-
ally thought the
debate
would
run
many
days longer,
many
members
anticipating
a
vote
by
Thursday
night
or
Friday
morning.
:
Paris,
Jan. 3rd.- -The
French
Minister
of Foreign
Affairs
today
issued
formal
denial
of
the
alleged
Franco-Japanese
understanding
‘regarding the
occupation
of
Siberia.
Documents
purporting
to
show
that France
and
Japan
had entered
in
such
an agreement
were
made
public
in
Washington
last Saturday
by
a
dele-
gation
from
the
Far
Eastern
republic
In
its
denial,
the
French
Ministry of
Foreign
Affairs quoted
a
letter
to
the
