mons last evening on the Irish ques-
ton. The premier last week an

the commons on this occasion the de-
tails Of the governments Irish rule
bill In opening his address yesterday
Mr.. Lloyd George remarked upon the
extreme difficulty Of his task, difficult
indeed he said, after such a discred-
table outrage as has just been per.
petrated in Dublin"
The premier said hat Parliament
must get the fact right into its mind
that in the existing circumstances no
possible scheme for Irish home rule was
universally acceptable. Therefore, he
continued, Parliament must assume the
responsibility and propose what it
thinks fair and Just A settlement
would be found not in the enactment
Of q home rule scheme, but in its
working,
Ireland said the premier was the
only country in Europe except Russia
where the classes who elsewhere were
one the side OF law and order were out
OF sympathy with the machinery Of
the government. While Ireland was
never so prosperous as to-day the fact
remained. he declared, that Ireland was
never so alienated from British rule as
she is to-day.
Any attempt at secession, the pre-
mier announced, would be fought with
the same determination. force and res
olution as had been shown by the
northern states in America.
The two legislatures to be created in
Ireland, the premier said, would be
clothed WITH full constituent powers to
create single Irish legislature to dis
charge all powers not specifically re.
served 70 the imperial Parliament
The premier said that the Irish con.
stitution to the imperial service was
estimated at elS,OO0,OOO annually. A
joint exehequer board would settle the
rate Of contribution for the future and
the question Of taxable capacity II
was proposed to place fl00000O al
the disposal OF each Of the two Parlia
ments to cover the initial expenditure.

REASONS ADVANCED
FOR Low EXCHANGE
First and Foremost Is the Fact That
Allied and Other Nations Owe the
United States $4,000, 100000.

New York, DeA % Three factors in
the decentralization of foreign exchange
ineligible to the average man, rise
above the complexities Of the present
situation, according to old timers in
Wall street.
These are; ~ Allied and other ma
tons of the world owe the United
States approximately $l5,000,0O0,O
~ American manufacturers hesitate
owing to peace treaty uncertainty, to
accept big advance foreign ORDERS t3l
England's virtual suspension of gold
exports outside the British colonies is
repulsing American trade.
"Just why the British pound sterling
normally worth S4.s665 in American
gold. should have declined so much
since the war ended and what it all
means is an obscure question" said a
New York financial expert. THE pres
mt situation, Sir George Paish's appre.
tensions Notwithstanding, is by nc
means hopeless. Prophecies of a
breakdown of credit are not well
founded

Europe is like man on the verge
of death due to starvation. When YOU
find such an unfortunate YOU feed him
gradually until the stomach becomes
accustomed to digesting food Now our
aim has been all along to stuff Europe
with all kinds of American products.
We have piled up trade balance, ac-
cording TO former Secretary of Com
merce Redfeld, aggregating S4,0O0,O00,-
600 year, Europe's financial system
like the starved human stomach, has
been unable to assimilate it, Conse-
quently, we thus contribute to the de-
moralization OF foreign exchange and
incidentally, by imitation help to lower
the purchasing power of our own dol
lar.
when you consider, as Mr.. Redfeld
points out, that S4 900. 100000 repre
scnts American dollars at par and must
be paid by those who owe it in depre-
ciated currencies, making it the equiv
alent of $5000,000,000, the result can
not be healthful to future American
trade and commerce. Foreign buyers
are going into more favorable mar
kets.'

ALASkANS ARE
 LUCKY PEOPLE

'The people of Alaska do not know how we'll they are off. They have only to make 8 trip outside and study conditions, then they will know that the northland is the best place of all."
 The above is a statement made to the Farbanks Citizen by Theo- dore Johnson, who returned toF alr- banks last Sunday after a short stay outside. Mr. Johnson has live4 in Alaska a long ime and is We'll up on living conditions and cost of thing in the northland. When he arrived in Seattle h enoticed a vast differenc in the prices on the out side and those of the intarior Nearly everything is much higher there than here. He stated that the merchants predicted a slight dron in the prices of several artl- cles, but not enough to make much difference to the public. In con- pairing living conditions he stated that much better meal could be had in Fairbanks for the same mon- ey than could be had in Seattle. Dress materials are very high and the society leaders are not making any attempts to set the fashion any more, being content to wear moder- ately priced and less showy raj ment at social functions, all owing to the high pTtce of everything. MT. Johnson made a number of compar- isons between the outside and Alas ka which give the northland and es- pecially the tnterIor, the best Of 1t In every respect. Those who left here to better their conditions out side, are now wishing they were back i'll the land of plenty and ease.
