DE VALERA APPEALS
 FOR RECOGNITION
President Irish Republic" Wants New Covenant to
 League of Nations
By Associated Press


 Boston, June 29.-Fammon De Valeria, president of the Irish republic" appeal ed to the United States in an address here today to frame at Washington a new covenant for a league of nations which would give Ireland place among the nations of the world. The peace treaty signed at Versailles, yesterday he said, was mockery and would re- main so unless America drew up a cove nant founded on "the equality of right amongst nations. small no less than great"
 Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd of more than 40<90 persons which thronged Fenway park, stands and field. the Irish leader measured his terms. He must be careful what he said in this country, he explained, as he read from his prepared address.
 His lieutenant, Harry J. Roland, a member of the Irish parliment, was more direct.
 We are here to plead the cause of Ireland,' said MT Roland.
 We have no wish to interfere in Am erican politics, but we do ask you not to put your name to document which will perpetuate the slavery of our people ,

PRESIDENTS STATEMENT

The President made it clear in his statement issued last night through the White House that with the failure of Congress to act on his suggestion for repeal of the wartime law so far as it relates to wines and beer the effect of his proclamation to be issued upon com petion of demobilization would be to per- init the sale of whisky until the coun- try becomes dry by constitutional amendhrent January IS, 1920
 This Aeans. according to Representa- tive Randall, prohibitionist, California, that the country will be thrown into "a whisky drinking orgy which, he said. the President surely does not desire. In order, therefore, to bridge the gap be- tween the date of the proclamation and the effective date of constitutional pro- hibition, Mr. Randall announced tonight that he would introduce tomorrow an emergency peace measure to prohibit re- noval from bond. or transportation in interstate commerce, of any distilled spirits for beverage purposes.
 MT Randall estimated that at the earliest the army would not be demo- bilized before October l, at which time

RACE
 FOR GERMAN TRADE
 WILL START SOON
With the Lifting of the Blockade Every Nation Will Have an Equal
 Chance
By Associated Press

Paris, June 29.-The superior block ade council has been instructed to be prepared to raise the economic block f1cation by the German national assem- bly, of the peace treaty.
 This announcement was made to- night in a dispatch to the state de- partment from Paris, reading as fol- lows:
 At meeting Thursday, June 26, the council of the principal allied and as- sociated powers adopted the following resolutions in regard to the raising Of the blockade on Germany:
 The superior blockade council is in- structed to base its arrangements for resembling restrictions upon trade with Germany on the assumption that the allied and associated powers will not wait to raise the blockadge until the completion of the ratification as pro- vided at the end of the treaty of peace with Germany. but that it is to be raised immediately on the receipt Of information that the treaty of peace has been ratified by Germany
 The action of the council, officials here explained, means that upon ratl- fication of the treaty by Germany all restrictions upon trade with Germany may be removed Without requiring in- dividual ratification by the allied and associated powers. all of the nations arrayed against Germany in the war may have an equal start in the race for German trade.
 Raising of the blockade without awaiting individual ratification was said by officials to mean more to the United States than any other nation because final approval of the treaty owing to governmental machinery probably will require longer in the United States than in the other coun- tries.
 One result of the decision if carried out, will be to give the Senate unlimited time for consideration of the treaty. In some quarters provision in the treaty that commercial relations with Ger many might be resumed when three of the powers ratified the treaty was con sidered as likely to force the Senate to speedy ratifica tion. The resolution re- gently introduced by Senator Fall, re- publican of New Mexico, to declare the war with Germany at an end was de- signed to enable the United States to begin business relations with the Ger mans and to relieve the Senate of any pressure that might be brought to bear by business interests. Belief by some members of the foreign relations com mittee that some action would be taken to obviate any such pressure was con sidered as having part in the decision of the committee last week to post pone temporarily action of the Fall resolution.

Future of Immigration


 The tendency of the war destruction of capital should be to make this country relatively more attractive to the emil grant than it was before the war; and to decrease the relative effectiveness of Central and South America as compared with Canada. It should also increase the inducements to Europeans to come to the Americas. Therefore. if it is not pre- vented by legislation, we should expect a very heavy immigration into this coun- try as soon as peace conditions and pas senger rates permit.
