THE MARCONI DEBATE. I
THE MARCONI DEBATE. I TORY MOTION. I I 'MR. LLOYD GEOftCE TO SPEAK IN REPLY. SUCCESTED RESIGNATUnt p ort i jort of the The debate on Ihe report, of the Mar- coni C-ornffl teo was to be opened in the House of Commons to-day. At a special meeting of the Cabinet yesterday, called to consider the Gov- ernment's attitude, it was decided not to put down any official motion. lUr. George Cave, K.C., on the I Opposition side, has given notice to move: "That this House regrets the transac- tions of certain of his Majesty's Minis- ters in the shares of the Marconi Com- pany of America, and the want of frankness displayed by Ministers in their communications on the subject to the House." ChancsJIor to Speak. I It is understood tha this motion will be seconded bv Viscount Helmsley, who will be followed in the debate by Sir Rufus Isaacs. After the Attorney- General, the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer will speak. On the character of these two speeches will depend the course of the debate. The Prime Minister will probably 1 i'j. -1jT„ T 1 1 f speaK ,ilLer iyxt. ijioyo. u-eorge. It is thought probable that an amend- ment will be moved by a private mem- ber on the Liberal side, ft is impos- sible for supporters of the Government to vote for a motion like Mr. Cave's, which does not even express satisfac- tion that the calumnious charges against Ministers have been proved to be without foundation.' Suggested Resignation. I Apart from the Opposition motion, the only resolution put down is one by Mr. Laurence Ginnell, an independent Nationalist Member, who will move: That the draft .special report of the chairman (Sir Albert Spicer) be ac- cepted as the special report -of the Com- mittee that the chairman be thanked for hjs careful and impartial labour re- presented by that reporb; that t he At- torney-General be requested, in the public interest, to resign his position as such; and that the matters dealt with in that special report are now closed."

I A FOOD FIGHT. I
A FOOD FIGHT. I ———— -——-—- BIG BEEF CONTEST COMING IN AMERICA. The Chicago correspondent of the "Chronicle" predicts that as soon a-s the Tariff Bill passes, allowing dressed meats to enter free, one of the biggest lights ever experienced in this country will be waged between the "Beef Barons," and influential business inter- ests in the West. The principals in the war are business men of Los Angeles, California, who have raised £ 1,000,000 to erect stock- yal-fis there, and the packers of Aus- tralia and the Argentine. The backers of the Los Angeles movement are re- ported to have secured contracts with big cattle ranch owners of Idaho, iilr y- omind, Utah, New Mexico, and Ariaona. These ranchmen have been dealing for years with the Beef Trust, but now have come out against them. Australia and Argentine will also send their dressed meats, as already un- der the tariff they have met with con- siderable success, and have been able to sell their products in California for 2d. or 2id. a lb. less than the products of the American packers. The Chica,go packers .intend to retaliate by invading the London market and underselling the Australian and Argentine concerns.

THE WELSH BILL MAJORITY. -
THE WELSH BILL MAJORITY. qowp"- LIBERAL CHURCHMEN VOTE FOR THE MEASURE. ] AN INCREASE. The Welsh Disestablishment Bill passed a further stage towards the statute book yesterday, when the second reading at its second presentation under the Parliament Act was carried. The division figures and those of the previous second reading were :— This Session. co Last Session. Ayes 357 Ayes 348 Noes 258 Noes 267 __I Gov. maj. 99 QoV. -N.Iaj 81 fr. Asquith and Mr. Bonar Li ivr took part in the debate. The Premier pointed out that lack of imagination accounted for a. good deal of the opposi- tion to the Bill. if they would place themselves in the position of the majority oi the Welsh people they would find they coukl not leave out of iiccount all that had happened in the past. The Bill was introduced oil April 23rd, 1912, and, after two davJ debate was accorded first reading by 331 to 258; majority, 78. On May 13tia it was given second readin"- by a majority of 81, and its third reading in the last Session was by a majority of 107. On this occasion the Liberal Church- men's "cave" was non-existent. It will be remembered that on Mr. k France's amendment proposing to leave the glebe to the Church the Govern- ment majority went down to 30, and subsequently on report stage, when a similar proposition was put jorward from the Opposition side, it was de- feated by 28 only. The impossible attitude of the W-elsh Bishops has rendered abortive all attempts at amicable arrangement. This led Mr. Gladstone, who worked most assiduously for settlement 11, consent, to give up the effort in despair. He and eight or nine Liberal Churchmen, who had gone with him, now voted for the second reading. [This subjact is also dealt with in Page Four.] I MABON ANi) DUTY. I Mr. W.
