London, Oct. 14.—The_ spirit of conciliation pervading the home rule question, it is be- lieved, will lead to a settlement on the lines of Winston Church- ill’'s declaration that Northeast Ulster be left out cf the opera- tions of the bill. King George is said to have expressed delight over the turn events have taken. Upon the condition that Ulster is left out the Unionists have agreed to work with the Liberals for the success of the scheme, but it may be regarded as cer- tain, however, that the Irish Na- tionalists will never complete a bill as a final settlement of Ire- land’s grievances if Ulster or any part of Ireland is left out of it. The only thing that would in- duce the government to allow Sir Edward Carson to triumph would be an expression of reluctance on the part of King George to give the royal assent to a bill that might mean armed rebellion in DIVIDED BY HOME RULE ACT? BRITISH GOVERNMENT APPARENTLY GIVING WAY TO CARSON IN ORDER TO AVOID THREATENED REVOLUTION— NATIONALISS OPPOSE IT. sist that if home rule is forced through without an election, Ul- ster will at once establish its provisional government and civil war will follow. The Telegraph declares that Mr. Churchill’s speech means that the government is prepared to consider the exclusion of UI- ster and regrets that Mr. Churech- ill accompanied his recognition of the gravity of the position with language which appeared as though designed to render it nugatory. Saskatoon, Sask., Oct. 9.— That several citizens of Saska- toon were on the muster rolls of Sir Edward Carson's regiment was the statement made to a press representative last night by a leading Irish business man here. He continued that the or- ganization of the Ulsterites, es- pecially in the colonies and in foreign countries, was far more thorough than the British gov- the United Kingdom, such as has not occurred since the Jacobite rising in 1745, in favor of the young pretender.

Editor Daily News: Referring to the tion which appeared in the Em- 30th over the communica- pire of September signature of ex-Alderman Mont- gomery, and aé_ reply thereto which appeared in the editorial columns of The News under date of October 2nd with reference to the statement published by the mayor that the council of 1942 left for this year’s council liabil- ities of $55,282.75, with only $31,424.23 of uncollected taxes against the same. For pure and unadulterated nerve the article in The News of the above date, and particularly the headlines over the item, “Libels the Mayor to Deceive the Public,” entitles the writer to carry off the bun, because the figures given by the mayor, as well .as those quoted by The News are entirely incorrect and misleading and cannot be made for any other purpose than to try to “deceive the public” and if possible shift responsibility from this year’s council to that of last year. The figures given by the mayor of $55,282.23 liabilities is ac- counted for by The Néws as fol- EX-ALD. HAMILTON DOUGLAS ON A POINT IN CITY FINANCE WHETHER THE LAST COUNCIL LEFT LARGE DEFICIT FOR THIS COUNCIL TO CARRY—HE CLAIMS THERE WAS NO DEFICIT. Against the above the council of 1912 left uncollected revenue as follows: General TaxeS .......+++00+ $31,424.23 Tiel MACOS 6.2. so Kanes sen 8,451.28 Yelephone Rates ..........+: 134.15 Water Rates ......cecsceses 449.45 $40,449.45 Taking the above figures it shows that the council of 1913 took over a deficit of about $4,- 000, but inasmuch as a large part of the unpaid accounts in- cluded supplies used in 1943, there was no actual deficit. The item of $10,000 for “tele- phone replacement” (whatever that may mean) which the mayor and The News charge up against the council of 1912 is simply a subterfuge. The fact are these: For the years 1911 and 1912 the telephone earned approximately $10,000 in profits, which was very properly spent by the coun- cils of 1914 and 1912 in im- provements to the plant. The proposal of the mayor and The News, however, seems to be to juggle the figures by some new notion of bookkeeping and trans- fer the profits of 1914 and 1912 to a special account, and charge it against the council of 1912 as lows: Overdraft on General Revenue $30,593.07 Telephone Replacement ..... 0,000.00 Unpaid Accounts ......++++. 14,000.00 $54,593.07 There is a slight difference be- tween these two totals ,but the figures are near enough for ar- gument. The details of the $55,- 282.75 as far as I can find have not been published by the mayor, who has probably considered it unwise to publish the details, which might show his method of figuring to be incorrect. I submit the following as the correct statement of the stand- ing of accounts at December 3ist, 1942, and the true position as between last year's council and this: Overdraft on General Revenue, as per Page 8 of City’s Financial Statement, 1912... Unpaid Accounts at December Sist, 1912, inleuding neces- sary coal and other supplies ordered by the council of 1912 for use partly in the year 1013, S8Y....-+seeeee $30,593.07 14,000.00 a liability. This of course is ab- surd, the profits of these two years came into the hands of the preceeding councils and were properly spent by them and to try to trump up a claim in that way against the council of 1912 can only be regarded as mis- representation of the facts to “deceive the public.” I challenge the mayor to show from the accounts that there was any such deficit as mentioned in his letter to The News dated September 16th, or, if he can, to give the details and get them verified by any two reputable ac- countants in the city as being a correct statement of the financial position as between the councils of 1912 and 1943.
