The joint conference was fixed for noon and then postponed to 3 o'clock this afternoon, and finally until tomorrow. 1 This seemingly was due to the long meeting of the :British .cabinet committee* on Ire land. The* Irish representatives waited most of the afternoon at their hotels for a summons to the prime minister's residence in Downing Street. Mr. Churchill's expected 'state ment to the house of commons was postponed also, although he told the house that "owing to the urg ency and gravity of the issues, Parliament is entitled to the fullest information." . The *? members tried hard in the I question *hour to get some infor-1 mation from the *; government re garding 'its attitude toward the agreed" Irish' elections and other matters,' but Mr. Churchill staved .them off until" he should make his formal statement. One question pressed ' by several members was whether all the members of the new Irish parliament would be obliged to take , the oath of allegi ance to the King. , The colonial secretary satisfied their curiosity on one point, as serting that the, British commander of the forces in plster could not' take the responsibility of moving his men into* southern territory to meet threatened attacks except with instructions from the. cabinet. He also revealed that the admiral ty had sent vessels to Londonderry over Sunday at Sir James Craig's request. It was known only that one destroyer was outside London^ derry and the number of ships dis patched to that port was not di vulged. The impression grows that the differences between the government and the Sinn Feiners amount to an acute crisis, particularly in view of Mr. Churchill's reference to the urgency and gravity of the issues.

Harvey yesterday announced -the appoint ment of Harry G. Kaminer of Gadsden as a member of the board of directors of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative asso ciation to represent the state at large. The constitution and by-laws of the association provide for the elec tion of ten directors by the mem bers of the association and for the appointment of one by the govern or of the state.

In addition to his farming interests he is a large mer chant and is a director of the Pal metto National bank of this cityr He is a member of the state board of tax review and has been promi nent in the business and agricultur al life of- thestate. Governor Harvey felt that Mr. Kaminer, because of his variety of Interests, was eminently qualified . i:or the position of director at large.
