In the next United States Senate there will two
senators bearing the of Walsh-Thomas J. Of Mon

while David l. is comparatively youngster of only 49,
He has served term as governor of the Bay State
being elected to that Office in 1914.
In his campaign for the senatorship Mr. Walsh boldly
and blunty took the stand that President Wilson's famous
fourteen points applied to Ireland we'll as to the other
small nations, and thus shocked few of the nervous
Boston which seemed to forget the lesson
OF the Revolutionary Tea Party Nor did he hesitate to
proclaim the story of the wrongs Ireland under English
domination Here extract from of his campaign
speeches that will heaten perhaps some of the tmd ones
who inclined to ignore the claims of the old land to
the attention they deserve in the hour of the triumph Of
world democracy:
II do not understand, however, that our loyalty To
America compes to take the position of asserting
the world that the story the oppression of the Irish
race that we heard from the lips of was false
untrue neither it be expected that we are to
confess that have been mistaken in knowledge Of
Irish history that the political enemy of our race WAS
not as bad as proclaimed the story of Irish

Canada May Ship
Gold to r G ctify
Adverse Exchange
Large Credit to Dominion
the Acknowledgements
ations Under Way

Negotiations have been renewed be-
tween financial representatives of the
Canadian and United States govern
ments looking to a solution of the abb
normal exchange situation existing be-
tween the two countries. 1t was re-
made to arrange for gold shipments
from the Dominion to this country,
and if this failed an effort would be
made to have the United States grant
large credit to Canada. Bankers with
Canadian connections expressed the
opinion that the reported visit of Sir
Robert Borden and other Canadian
government officials to Washington
had to do with arranging a possible
solution of the difficulty
The head Of the New York agency of
one Of the large Canadian banks said
yesterday that the plans now under
consideration called for the shipment
of substantial amount Of gold to the
United States from the Dominion, pos
sibly as much as $4,000 900. Canada's
financial representatives are willing to
release the gold to this country, it was
asserted. provided assurances can be
obtained from Washington that the
metal will be allowed to return to the
Dominion within a fixed period. Can
ada needs all the gold it has, it was
pointed out by this banker, to provide
gold cover for note circulation, and
unless an agreement can be entered
into which will insure the return Of
the metal the Dominion cannot afford
to let the gold go. 1t is believed that
the amount of gold that would have to
be shipped would be comparatively
small, as exports of Canadian grain
will be resumed on large scale next
month, and it is expected that this
movement will have some effect in cor
recting the abnormal exchange stua-
ton from that time on.
