SEEK DRASTIC STEP TOENDTERRORISM Ulster Parliament Leaders Have Bill Drafted—King’s Speech to Reopen Session. By the Associated Press. BELFAST, March 13.—The- king's 8peech reopening the Ulster parlia- ment tomorrow will refer to the situa- tion in Belfast created by the recent {outbreak of terrorism, and will also deal with the general position in northern Ireland, it is learned. The Ulster government plans a sur- prise by giving notice of the intro- duction” at an early date of a drastic bill for the repression of disorders and crime. The measure would em- power the authorities to take posses- sion of premises from which sniping occurred and, if necessary, to destroy them. The blll also would confer power upon the authorities completely to close and barricade danger spots from which attacks have been made from time to time with fatal consequences. The penalties for those found with arms or under circumstances which irdicate clearly their participation in 2 | sniping would be greatly increased under the bill, and wider powers would be given the police to allow prompt search and detection of of- fenders.

This would mean total pa ments within about three and one- half yedrs of over $1,200,000,000. These estimates take no account of amortization or other reserves against certificates to remain outstanding after the fiscal year 1926, which would add at least $40,000,000 a year to the current charges, or of possible addi- tional costs under the land settle- ment plan if the reclamation projects thereirr authorized should be carried through.

The effect of this provision is to transfer the cost of policy loans from the government to the banks, and to place in the banks, to the extent that the ex-service men are able to obtain loans from them, a mass of unliquid, non-negotiabl paper upon which the banks will be unable to realize until 1925.
