SOLUTION OF THE IRISH QUESTION
AID FOR RUSSIA IS CONSIDERED

WASHINGTON, April 2s.--Help
for Russia and the solution OF the
Irish question were the two imme-
,iiate and Hercuiean problems be-
fore the world war conference of
the allies.
There is reason to believe that
Foreign Secretary Balfour in his
initial report of the war pariey,
made public in London TO-DAY, will
declare that the informal inquiry
has made it clear that speedy
solution of the Irish problem will
be one of the greatest steps that
can be taken to advance the
fight fer universal democracy.
The ultra secret conference of
this government and the British
and French commissions was fol-
lowed by the appointment of Elihu
Root as chairman of the Russian
commission.
II is planned to have the allies
join hands under the leadership OF
Root and the American mission in
democratic effort to keep the
spark of freedom alive in Russia
These plans meet with the approval
of all the allies. Root has conferred
with the American administration
Vice Premier Viviani and Secretary
Iaalfour. The plan is vital to the
principle of world freedom.
