No Hope for Ireland
Seen In Article XII

nal, or forum" as he slyly put 1t,
for the examination and adjustment of
their political wrongs and rights, is
apparent as soon as we examine the
text of that article:
ANY war or threat of war
whether Immediately affecting any
of the members of the league or
not, is hereby declared matter
of concern to the whole league,
and the league shall take any &C.
tion that may be deemed wise and
effectual to safeguard the peace
of nations. In case any such
emergency should arise the Secre-
tary-General shall on the request
of any member of the league
forthwith summon meeting Of
the Council"
That is the first part of Article XI.
Under its provisions Ireland, not be-
ing a member of the league, could get
a meeting of the Council, or FORUM"
as the president phrases it, only on
the application of some member; and
If she should succeed in being ushered
into the forum" by the kind inter-
vention of friendly member, what
could the meeting of the Council pos
sibly do for Ireland? The forum"
would end exactly where 1t began,
with Ireland in the vocative.
The second part of Article XI, in
which President Wilson intimates
that he is so particularly interested
as gateway to the Sacred right of
self-determination" for Ireland, is as
follows:
1T is also declared to be the
friendly right of each member of
the league to bring to the atten-
tion of the Assembly or of the
Council any circumstance what
ever affecting international rela-
tions which threatens to disturb :.
| international peace or tho good s. s.
understanding between nations
upon which peace depends"
That is all of Article XII to the last
word. II the most optimistic friend
Of the Irish independence can figure
out from the text of the article in
which the president processes to be
particularly interested the slightest
prospect of progress toward self-de-
termination by way of the Council or
Assembly of the League of Nations
he possesses an imagination that
could reach heaven by climbing the
northeast end of rainbow.
A forum" for the Irish people! We
wonder that President Wilson did not
offer them soap box.

Clever Footwork of
President Wilson
Walsh Says Presidents Answer in

Mysterious as Paris Work.-com-
pares Wilson's Western Statement
With Promise Made Here.

Swift action was taken last wednes-
day by Hon. Frank P. Walsh and other
American leaders Of Ireland's. cause
in regard to President Wilson's an
nouncement that the League of Ma
! tions covenant opens the way to Ire
land for hearing by the world. Mr..
Walsh sent out this statement:
within an hour after reading the
presidents answers to the queries Of
the San Francisco Labor Council the
executive committee of the Irish Race
Convention met at the Hotel Brevoort.
It UNANIMOUSLY decided to send the
president telegram asking him If he
was in favor of applying the principle
of self-determination to Ireland.
Gauge Of His Sincerity.
"If the president ignores the tele-
, gram, as some believe he will, we
shall know absolutely how much of
sincerity there is in his statement to
men in San Francisco who are heart
and soul for Irish self-determination
II he answers. Yes, favor applying
the principle of self-determination to
Ireland the question can be carried
anew to the British government.
"The president is quoted as having
said in San Francisco, 'Ireland's case
was not heard at Versailles, because
/ it did not come within the jurisdic-
tion of the Peace Conference If he
said it, he has executed the most strik-
ing piece of footwork he has yet ex-
hibited.

signing of the armistice with Ger.

statements In New York that the
principle of self-determination was to

HIS Answers Puzzle.
"The answers to the questions OF
the San Francisco Labor Council
are as cryptic and mysterious as was
the work of the Paris Peace Confer

"The question asked of and lodged
by the president was this: What ii
your attitude toward the right Of self
determination for 1reland?'
/ I'm view of the ambiguous and eva

Florida should by all means have

that plant pests may be brought un-

Continuing the Tribune says:

largest shippers of fruit in the state.
Unless we achieve such a law"
said Mr.. Gray, the growers of this
state stand to continue to lose mil
lions of dollars annually through cur
tailed production due to the whitefly
and other plant pests and to increas-
ed cost OF handling the fruit in the
groves and in the packing houses be-
cause Of these same pests. Moreover
it is an undeniable fact that if we
were once more able to produce uni
