Mr.. McFaddcn's speech developed
bitter partisan wranglc which con-

was repeatedly interrupted by Repre-

member Of the Banking and Currency

defenders in the House. who objected
to inclusion in the record of documents

Mr. Wipgo demanded the Pennsyl-
vania member insert in the record the
complete text of letter written to him
by Controller Williams, parts of which
had been quoted in the public attack
on Mr.. MCFadden made by the Con-
troler on Saturday night. Mr.. McFad-
den refused to do this, saying publica-
tion of the letter might injure his
bank, and if such contingency must
follow he would insist that the Con-
troller publish the letter and thereby
assume full responsibility for the re-
suits Answering the Controllers criti-
cism Of the conduct of the banks af
fairs. Mr.. McFadden said:
"in 1896 | was elected assistant
cashier of that bank, drawing salary
of $40 month. In 1916 was unani-

Masterpieces Now in
Germany Demanded
AS Art Indemnities
French Academy Wants Sc
lection of Own Creations
to Replenish Galleries
Devastated During War

PARIS, March 3.-As rcparation for
the works of art destroyed in France
by the Germans, it is suggested BY
the French Academy Of Fine Arts, ac-
cording to the journal des Debats."
that works of French genius now in
the collections of the former royal
families and public museums Of Ger
many and Austria be put at the dis
posal Of the French state, which will
select some of these works as legti
mate indemnity. The petition sent
by the academy to the government
reads:
"The public monuments of twenty
cities, cathedrals, museums, libraries
and large number of small churches
known as the most precious among the
churches of France have been mutt
lated or destroyed, with the works Of
art they contained In order to make
up in a small measure for the loss of
some of the French works which COM
posed our national art treasure, des-
tined to serve for the education of
future generations, we do not demand
that the museums of Germany and
Austria be plundered but only that
the works due to French genius which
are now in the collections of the former
royal families and the public museums
of Germany and Austria be put at the
disposal of the French state to let
it select some works of art rs legit-
innate indemnity
"The same can be said regarding the
ravishing Of the art patrimony of Bel
gium. Could pecuniary indemnities
be considered sufficient to make up
for the destruction of Louvain and
Ypres? Belgium should be allowed TO
select certain amount Of Flemish
works of art from the collections Of
the states which destroyed them on
the same conditions as we demand for
France.
THE distinctions carried out in
Italy which affected some precious
works of Venetian art must also be
compensated for. as justice demands,
by the handing over of some Italian
works OF art now in possession Of the
enemy.
I'm short, the signers of the peti-
ton demand that the following prin.
ciple be written in the treaty of peace:
That the diminution brought TO the
art treasures of the attacked nations
be compensated for by the handing
over OF the works Of art of the coun-
tries which have carried out the de-
structions."

MENACE INCREASES
IN IRISH PROBLEM

LONDON, Sept 1.-THE Irish
problem IS becoming insistent and
each day the prospects grow darker
and more menacing,7 the Daily Ex-
press declared today In commenting
on the Irish situation.
Many observers" Il adds, "see
rapidly approaching q tragedy which
will ruin Ireland, wreck AnglO-Amer-
ican relations, and injure the whole
British empire. II the problem is to
be. solved in time 1t must be handled
at once.
'sEveryone on both sides OF the
Irish Sea are asking what the end
will be-and dreading the answer. All
thinking men on both sides Of the
Atlantic are demanding that some
thing be done Immediately to avert a
tragedy that would shock the world.
ION one hand the Sim Feiners are
openly completing their organiZa-
tion for rebellion; on the other the
Unionists in Ulster province are
forming clubs"
Timothy Healy, writing in the Sun
day Express, declares there is no
Irish problem.
Forty years ago" he adds, u
summed up a solution Of the situation
when I said give US back our coun-
try
He points out that Irishmen have
not created the present situation and
asks: "After seven centuries Of con-
tempt will Irish opinion prevail for
the first time in 1919?
THE Irish" he declares, "have been
fooled many times and may be again
but hardly by the same -qUiCk-Change
juggleTs."
Mr.. Healy ridicules Premier Lloyd
Georges use Of the term new" in
connection with his latest plan foI
ireland and implies that the pre-
mier's scheme is q baseless fabric.
