augurated.

(Special To The Guardian).

DUBLIN, April 15.—Tliere is much speculation regarding the iuotivo of the Government's sud- tlen change of policy towards the Sinn Fein ltunger strikers. Two hours after Mr. Bonar Law's un- compromising speech in the House of Commons. Public runtor attrib- utes the decision to the influence of General Macready who hnsjust taken up his duties as command- er-in-cltiel’ of the forces‘ in Ire- land. He is said to have great

hopes of making military rule in Ireland more tol- erable than heretoforo and he tlld not want to start with

deaths and lnquests in Mount Joy.

The second days proceedings of the annual conference of the First District of Rotary opened at 10 o'clock yesterday morning in the Caletlonlan Club rooms. Richmond Street. District Governor, George S. Inman presiding.

The first item on the programme wasan address by District Gover- nor Inntan which dealt fully with the principles of Rotary and the condition of affairs In the clubs of

in opeuingﬂthe speakerneclared that it was with extreme pleasure that he welcomed so many Rotar- ians to Charlottetown. It was a matter of regret that their visit canto at a time when our shores appear most unlnviting. Had they came a montlt later when our frees are in leaf, our ﬂowers in bloom and our ﬁelds clad in verdure, he felt. sure tltey would ‘carry away a different impression of our garden province. "However," lic contin- ued, “Though seasons come and go with their varied climates, there its one thing which does not change and that is the Rotary welcome. Our greetings to you is just as warm as it will be two months hence tivlten we greet you on the lioard-wtiii: of Atlantic City."

The‘ speaker referred to the fact. that this was the first. cottfcrence at which they had had with them a Governor from a sister district. referring to District Governor Charley Lovett of Lynn, Mass. l-ie liacl promised the speaker at the annual conclave of the New Eng- Iittnd Rtitarians held last autumn tit Augusta, Me.. that he would come to Charlottetown for the con- ference anti he had kept. his word.

"Rotary,“ said the speaker, "has ushered in the dawn of a brighten tiny and is constantly spreading the sunsltino of optimism and good cheer. Tito individual is large- ly composed of moral ‘force. Too often that force has remained sir.- tlc. It remains for Rotary to tut-n that static force into dynamic forcc, and the result hits been the marvellous achievements of Rot- ary.

In 1910 there gathered in the city of Chicago the fourteen then existing clubs and formed .tltein. selves into a national association Little tlitl Paul Harris dream that in 1920 there would be 600 Rotary clubs in lite world. He would have been n bold Rotarlan who at that time would have prophesied that a decade later the International Con- vention would number upwards of seven! thousand with delegates from India and China. France and Great Britain, Cuba and Ports Rica Ilruguay the Philippines and the islands of the Paciﬁc.

No modern organization has gone forward with the rapidity which has marked Rotary’s progress and no kindred institution ‘plays as great a part in the affairs of men. There is a power in Rotary. Ro- fary's power Is in its unselfish- ness. It enters into competition with no religion, cult, commercial organlzation‘or social society. but rather on the other hand it seeks to be auxiliary fo all. It does not seek to copyright. or monopolize its cardinal features of service and friendship. On the contrary its propaganda is that tltosq principles shall be carried into all social and commercial activities.

Mr. Inman concluded an excellent address by quoting the following lines by Edgar A. Guest. ,

THE ROTARY SPIRIT.

The iiialu feature of the after- iiooit session was the address by Rotarian D. Patterson of St. .Ioltii. who ticlivered an able and very helpful talk, the subject of which was "The Mentbers Itc- sponsibility to the Club."

Following this address five iiiin- uie reports were given by Sec- retaries‘ of clubs on "The Best Thing We Ever Put Over During fhc Year."

Notttiuations for the position of District Governor for the ensuing year followed and the titan honor- ed by election to that important post was Rotarlun Fred Scxioit of tho Technical College Halifax.

Petition received‘ and a bill in- troduced in accordance therewith. read a_first time and referred to committee.

MR. MCNEILL asked the Leader ofvtltc Government, (‘ltairitian of the Trustees of Falconwood Hospi- tal and Infirmary, whether a cum- mlssioti was appointed to enquire into maters pertaining to Falcon- wood Asyiumn and Infirmary?

4. -Did such Commission make a report?

5. Tobie the original of such re- port.

6. What action if any has been taken on such report?

MFi. BELL explained that there was a great deal of business ‘be- fore the House. lie was therefore obliged to ask his friend and the Hon. Leader of the Opposition to exercise patience. The report ask- ed for was iu his, Mr. Bell's office and he, Mr. Bell. was vet-y short of help iu his office. I-Ie would table the answers when he would be able to place his hands on the report.

MR. ARSENAU-LT asked the Leader of the Government when Mr. ‘James Laiidrigan, former manager of the School Supply De- partnterit severed‘ his connection with School Department?

5. Copies of‘ ail correspondence between tlto (‘outmialon rind the Government refitting to the coin- mission and the enforcement of the Act.

To Mr. Kennedy's questions the Premier replied that replies would necessitate a good deal of research He would advise Mr. Kennedy to go to the Public Works Depart- ment and examine the vouchers for himself. it was not in the general interest to have these vouchers paraded before the public.

MR. KENNEDY said It was not customary to send members to the different tlcparttneiits to look for information. This was not what they were sent. here for. In all his experience information asked for by members was "tabled in the House. He wanted to know if the Leader of the Government intenti- ed to table the information.

HON. J. H. BELL thought the remarks of his honorable friend very apropos. He himself was of the opinion that it would be best to name the expected interest at 5 1-2 per cent. if no 6.

MR. A. E. ARSENAULT said he did nut for a moment pretend to advise the Government on this matter.
