Sir Arthur Balfoun M a k e s Prophecy Concerning Britain — Business “Bled White.”

MONTREAL, Aprii 7.--The advent of a national government in Great Britain, with no party affiliations and with the partisanship eliminat- ed frbm their method of handling the business of the Old Country, was prophesied last night by Sir Arth- ur Balfour, Bart, K. B. E. chairman and managing director of the Ar- thur Balfour and Company, Ltd, iheffleld, steel manufacturers, with branches all over the world, who is on a business visit to this country connected with the Canadian com- pany that bears his name, with a branch here and one in Hamilton.

Sh: Arthur declared that the ques- tion of the dole has become such a terrible national menace that it was going to drive the country to merge all political differences, and "get down to brass ‘tacks!’ in order to pro- tect ‘r ' from being "bled white"

until ten dclock tomorrow ‘ The expectation now appears to be that the Provinces and the Domin- ion will be able to agree on the clause of the new statute of West- minster applicable to Canada, before tomorrow evening. No official stats- ment, beyond the mere announce- ment that a discussion in which all the provinces participated had taken place, followed the meeting this af- ternoon. It was intimated, however. that a tement setting forth the results achieved would be given out sometime ‘ w. Thus far, no conclusions have been a had.
