Cable Assn. ENGLISH MERCHANT ATTACKED. New York, August 1. Mr. James Shaw, an English coal n.erchant from Leeds, standing on the 6eoond deck of the Baltic, nissed a demonstrator. Several longshoremon climbed aboard and viciously attacked him. They broke one of his legs, and beat him about the body. A largeiforco of pi'lico finally stood off the attackers, and broke up what threatened to become a riot.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. . THE LANDiNG~QBESTION WILL THE PROHIBITION BE REMOVED? London, August 1. The "Sunday Times" 6ays there is a growing conviction 1 that Dr. Mannix ought to be allowed to land in Ireland to prevent the Sinn Fein making capital out of the prohibition. It is believed that Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief Secretary, is becoming converted to this view. It is assumed in some quarters that the Baltic will not call at Queenstown. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. THE VATICAN'S CENSURE POLICY OF STRICT NEUTRALITY. London, 1. The "Observer" says: "The Government must at all costs adhere to its determination to exclude Dr. Mannix. His Bolshevism is not the more respectable for being mitred. The sequel should be the test of the Vatican's discipline after confessing itself shocked by J-fan-Jiir's porformancfes. It will also lio a test whether the British- diplomatio representation at the Papal Court serves any useful purpose." The "Sunday Express" declares ttat the Vatican's censure of Dr. Mannit emanates from, a small proßritish party there, and does not represent the considered policy of the Vatican. The "Ex press" says it understands that tnw Vatican's Irish policy remains one of strict neutrality. Mr. A. J. Balfour recently visited the Pope, with a •■lew to securing his intervention against the Sinn Fein, and asked him if he would denounce the disturbances and create vacant bishoprics himself. The Pope replied in the negative to both queatious. -Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
