IRISH BOUNDARY BILL. THE RUSSIAN TREATY. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Received Sept. 23, 7.15 p.m. London, Sept. 23. The Parliamentary correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says Cabinet will d'is'cuss the business for the House of Commons when it meets on September 30. According to present plans the only legislation will be the Irish Boundary Commission Bill, which Mr. J. R. Clynes will forthwith move. The action of the Unionists will be decided, towards the end of the week, but the probability is that there will be no motion for rejection by the House of Commons, and it is doubtful whether any attempt can be made to amend the Bill, which the Government dbes not believe will occasion any political crisis.
Mr. Winston Churchill has been officially adopted as the prospective Con servative candidate for the Epping Division of Essex.
Mr. H. H. Asquith’s letter has dashed the hopes of Government circles that the Liberals will tacitly support the existing text of the Anglo-Russian agreement. While seeking to amend unacceptable provisions the Liberals hope the Government will revise or elaborate its plan for a Russian settlement before the issue reaches a crucial stage in the House of Commons. It is suggested the Government should resume AngloSoviet negotiations as a solution of the impasse.
