The premier, of Great Britain has a hard, time of it trying to pay his bills ori.a galarjr of jr.po pounds a year and Mb payvo'ught ,p be raised, says the former.. Prime Minister, Herbert H. Asqultkftrho ough to know for he occupied that position for 11 years. f As far as known, Mr. David Lloyd George has not asked for a raise in av but his remuneration has been the fubject pf an inquiry conducted by a committee of parliament, which also-is examining Into the salaries of -all the Litish cabinet ministers., : ;' - v Mr AsQuith told the committee that thi. office of the premier of Qre'at Brft- ii is a very expensire one', and his I', ties can not be properly discharged an expentuiurt; immcu w moi reo, mat - poorer man when ne ieu omce.nan when he entered it. --.'. , i-h-.- Mr Asquith explained that the pre mier had to do a great dear of enter taining and afford hospitality . to ail gcrts of conditions of people" both at home and abroad but. under the "exist inK arangement. he had. to. defray this .xpense entirely at his own cost, "u-ven if a governrrfent hospitality fund should be provided for entertain ing distinguished foreigners, cMr..f As auith was of the opinion that the' pre miers salary ought to be advanced Mr Asqulth had few kind words ,to say about the privilege which the premier has of . occupying the .official residence at 10 Downing street., It is quite true," he said, "that you live, in the house free from rent, rates and taxes, but it is a very vcpehsive house to keep up. It is a' very incon venient house fn many ways; it' re quires a large staff and I suspect, my self that any prime minister who IWid experience of it as I 'Wad' Would; If he were offered the choice, rather not live In it at all." The salary of the premier of Great Britain at present rate of exchange is equivalent to J19.250. This compares with a salary of $75,000 and 526,000 ex penses for the President of the tlnitfed Slates; ?00,000 francs salary and a similar amount for expenses for. the resident of France and of 100,000 marks salary and 600,000 marks ex penses for the President of Germany. Members of the cabinet of the Presi dent of the United States receive. ?12, 000 a year. - " v- EXTREMISTS - . BE MORNINGr STAElfVILlVIINGTON, C: AROUSE TUESDAXrFEBRXrABYT8,-1921. SPIRIT UF REBELLION Efforts Threaten to Bring ut - Revolt ; Among Natives- .1 of India .' SAYS DE VALERA NOT SINN FEIN DICTATOR Not Authorized to Negotiate for Peace Terms TU'BLIN. PAeb. ' 7. Eamon de valera's presence in Ireland can hot be attributed to any connivance of' the British government, declares a leading Sinn Feiner of the moderate group. He expressed the conviction in an inter view that the "peace" moves which have been widely discussed the past two months represent nothing but a desire of the government, for propa ganda purposes, to convince foreign opinion of its good intentions, andthat they have been thwarted bytheun reasonableness of Sinn Fein. Ths man interviewed said he had been in touch with the returned "p'vesf dt.it of the Irish' Republic-"; Slncef -de Valera's return from America. . . "De Valera's position,"", de "declared, is by no means that of a dictator, even that or a plenipotentiary xHis a representative office. He must act ifl accordance with the sentiment !pt. his organization. He is not authorized to negotiate peace on any such terms as have been offered, and if h-di(j; ha would be repudiated. Sinn Feiners maintain that Dall Eireann is the only legitimate goverriment in Ire land and will only negotiate as such. The 'permission' of the British premier for Dan Eireann to meet, with the ex ception of such men as the government want, is ridiculous. As" a rha"tter-6f fact. Dail Eireann Has been meeting secretly all along and issuing orders through its various ministries." U is known that members' of Dail ,i,',r?Mn" d0 not regard the "safe con -Met offered by Mr. Lloyd George "as "t any value or as addingr Anything .to existing facilities.
