BRITISH INCLINED
TO TAKE OFFENSE

LONDON, March IA blazing indis-
cretion'' is how the Morning Post de-
scribes the speech Of William j. Bryan,
the secretary Of state. at the st. Patricks
day banquet given by Irish-Americans at
Washington on Saturday evening. The
Post reprints the portion OF the speech In
which Mr., Bryan congratulated the Irish
NationaIlsts on their success of the home
rule bill, and referred to the virtual end
of hereditary rule in the British empire.
The Post says that while 1t does not sup
pose that Mr. Bryan intended to give Of
fense he should understand that his
speech Is regarded with keen resentment
by many people In Great Britain, and In
their opinion Is a grstultous and unwar-
rantable Interference in the domestic az
fairs OF the United Kingdom.
"As In the prudence and sagaclty with
which the secretary of state discharges
his task depends the relations OF the
United States with other countries" con-
tinues the Post. at behooves him to OBJ
serve caution in his references to other
nations.

He advised the committee that the
lead and zinc producers were now fac
ing the hardest fight of their lives
in view of the fact that, while the for.
mer administration owed a political
debt in the matter Of not interfering
with the tariff On lead, the present ad.
ministration had no such obligation,
and, in fact, had no particular reason,
political or otherwise, for favoring the
lead-producing states.

attention, Mr., Ferry asked Mr.. Ritter
