Premier Bonar Iiw who started today for Glasgow, travelling ln an ordinary passenger train was accorded no opportunity for way- "lu rrcepuons uy admirers and for speeches such as characterized Mr. LJoyd George's Journey last week to Leeds. He may possibly ln his speech tomorrow fill in the details or his policy alrealy out lined. He is expected to announce an extensive reform of Adminix. irauve departments with th nh. ject or retrenchment. ints reform probably will af- ieci tne ministries of labor and transport, the duties of which may be relegated to other departments with a considerable saving in the expense of administration. This, however, can hardly be regarded as a new policy, rather, it would be carrying out the recommenda tions of the Geddes and other economy committee during the coalition regime. In general outlines, however, the platforms of all the parties Sre Known, .perhaps mosr striking in this connection Is the fact that Mr. Lloyd George, after some hesi tation, joined his voice today with the leaders of other parties, against. socialism and labor. The former premier thus placed himself In line with Mr. Chamber, lain and Mr. Churchtil on' this question, though in a somewhat leas pronounced manner. He de clares: "Labor is against social order and we must contest that policy." ,! He confesses he has no election slogan, and this Is char acteristic of the manifesto of all the parties with the exception of 'he labor party. Lloyd George I'rgca Coalition Is SriH Needed. Mr. Lloyd George continues to base himself on the imperative need of a coalition for solving the post-war ' problems.

This Interpreta tion of slant is expected late next month or It December. Decision f the executive deprt- ment to withhold enforcement of the law as onitrued by Attorney General ln his opinion of October t was fornally communicated to day to Associated Justice Brsndtis. of the Supnme Court, who subse quently renised to grant various steamship lnes a stay against the enrorcemeni of Federal Judge Hand's derslon at New York di misalng (her application for a per manent Injunction restraining Fed eral agents from applying the Vol stead act. Justice Brandels was understood to have atreed with counsel for the government and the steamship lines that the decision to with hold enforcement had removed any necessity for a legal stay through a writ of supercedea which had been requeued by the lines and ac quiesced in by the Department of Justice. The decision as to en forcement was incorporated in a formal order issued by Secretary Mellon to castoms officer and pro hibition agents which was drafted after Mr. Mellon had conferred at length with the Attorney-Generali ' Counsel for the steamship com panies In their petition to Justice Brandels contended that enforce-1 ment of th Daugherty ruling would cause Irreparable damage to their bualness and would lead to dlplomatio difficulties. A state ment by the Department of Justice emphaaiaed that the government did not concur ln these, conten tions, and acquiesced ln the peti tion for a writ solely on the ground that preparations had been com pleted to expedite consideration of the case by the Supreme Court. The government will Join In this request for advance hearing, and it is the custom of the court to grant such Joint petitions. One of the elements entering In to a decision to defer enforcement is understood to have been a de sire to avoid any possible inter' national embarrassment pending J a final interpretation. Protests against enforcement of th law are expected from foreign governments and more particularly from those whose laws require the serving of alcoholic beverages to members of the crews of ships flying their flags. Should the Supreme Court uphold the Daugherty ruling some administration officers have said a situation might be brought about which would result in a request for Congress to modify the Volstead act. Any international negotiations bearing an enforcement, however, will await receipt of formal pro test from foreign capitals aa the State Department has . taken the position all along that this is a purely domestic law and that con sequently there is nothing, for. the department to negotiate with the other governments with . respect tO it. - - ; , SYNODICALMEETlNEGROES FLAYED GIVEN REPORTS OF PROSP ROUS YEAR AmArirn.il debts.

Wilbur A. Mott, special prosecu tor in charge of the case, was quoted to .the effect that there might be an arrest within an hour. But tonight Mr. Mott added to his quoted utterance a phrase which he says he used In the first instance "or ln two weeks." He Intimated, although he would not eay definitely, that no arrest would be made until the case had been laid before tha Hnmamet County grand Jury and an Indict ment or indictments returned. He declined to say when he would go before that body. - While It waa true.

He declared, however, that he was reaay to order one of several ar rests without waiting for grand Jury action If circumstances made nasx aavisaoie. Mr. Mott expressed akantiiam a te Mr. Gibson's identification in ICrariimi aa , ml Irikb Parliament, but all the es sentlal feature of th original pict remain, and particularly the crea tion of Ireland as the "Irish Free State;" its establishment as one utt the Dominions of the British Com monwealth, with its own Parlia ment and executive organization; and with the oath of allegiance to the King, which still preserves the tie uniting Ireland with the rest of the British Commonwealth. The constitution has not yet re ceived the final" sanction of the British Parliament. But as the Irish treaty, on which the con stitution . is based, was favorably acUed upon bv the British Parlia ment, the ratification of the con stitution has been looked upon as a formality. AVIth the past week, however, a certain element of un certainty has entered into the sit uation because of the fall of the Lloyd George Government which negotiated the treaty and the fact that a new Parliament is to be chosen. Leaders of the new Brit ish Government, however, express ed themselves as favorable to rati fication of the constitution by the new Parliament which is expected to be elected and brought into ses sion in time to pass the ratifying act before December 6, when the veer's time limit fixed by the Anglo-Irish treaty for completing the constitution under it expires. The action of the Irish Parlia ment Is final, so that the document Is how effective except for the Brit ish Parliament's reaffirming with greater formality the favorable ac tion already taken on the treaty. The document grants .-political- and religious freedom In Ireland, and under It no law favoring any cult may be passed. Op ion and right of association are unhindered and untrammeled. There are two elective houses, and all citizens of both sex-'S enjoy the rlg.it to vote The initiative and referendum are nrovided for. A summary or tne ouistanuing articles of the constitution follows: Article l. The Irlsti Tee Biaie is co-equal member of the commun ity of nations forming the British Commonwealth of nations.
