London Man Gives
q. S. Job of Solving
The Irish Problem
Daily News Correspondent
Here Tells Diners Amer
lea as Mediator Must Find
Plan to Suit Factions

Discussing the question of ireland
and the League Of Nations" yesterday
afternoon at the weekly luncheon of
the League of Free Nations Associa-
ton at the Hotel Commodore, P. w.
Wilson, American correspondent of
"The London Daily News" declared
that if the United States is to act
as q mediator for Great Britain she
must come forward with a plan that
all Irish factions will agree to.
"Mere abuse of England will not
help to solve the Irish question:" he
said.
eve are not only ready" Mr.. Will
differentiation, but we will pay
her to take it. One reason that I am
such a passionate advocate of self
government for Ireland is because l
want selfg government for England"
The Irish Point of View
Francis Hackett, literary editor of
"The New Republic" who discussed
the question of Ireland from the point
of view of the Irish, said he believed
it absolutely necessary that Ireland
be given elf-determination, and that
Ireland has been "c1uciticd" by the
English "Tories."
Il don't think" he said, chat Mr..
Wilson sees Ireland except as a liza
Dility that can best be met by sweep
ing it under the door mat"
DR.. Alexander Irvine defended the
position of the Obstetrics in the Irish
controversy. He denied that England
is holding ireland down. you can
not crush an 1rislman," he said, and
added that, although Woodrow Will
son is the arbiter Of the rights of
democracy, he is not the advocate of
religious party.
THE trouble with the Irishman."
said DR.. Irvine, 'is that he doesn't
know what ne wants, and when he gets
it he doesn't want it. l am opposed to
any man in the governmental life of
our country demanding the self
determination of Ireland, for the rea-
son that the Monroe Doctrine bites
both ways. If we say hands off to
Europe, then Europe also has a right
to say hands eff to US"
Wilson VS.. Hackett
The principal participants in the de-
bate on the Irish question, however.
were Mr.. Wilson and Mr. Hackett. Mr..
Wilson spoke at length about The trv-
ing situation the English government
had often found itself in when dealing
with the different factions in Ireland
There is no difference of opinion on
the question OF whether Ireland should
have government, except in one
place, and that is in Ireland" he said.

NC-4 RESUMES i
ITS COAST FLIGHT
Naval AirpIane Departs From
Atlantic City on Recruit
ing Mission ,

Atlantic City. Sept. 24.-Held back
some sixteen hours by unpropitious
weather conditions yesterday, the Unit
ed States transatlantic fiier NC-4, Com
mander Alfred c. Read, got away short
ly before 8 o'clock this morning on the
first leg of its coast recruiting mission.
The NC-4's departure was in striking
contrast to its arrival here on Monday.
Whereas the whole town suspended
business to give the big f1ier a tumult-
uous welcome. Atlantic City was just
getting out Of bed when Commander
Read and his boys said farewell this
morning. There was not so much as
a single whistle blast to tell of their
going.
Read and his men boarded the NC-4
shortly after o'clock, just as the skies
were clearing. They found the craft in
good shape, despite the heavy wind and
rain of yesterday. thanks to forethought
in running the craft into a sheltered
position. The motors responded hand
somely. While a small throng on the
yacht club pier raised their voices the
plane rose gracefully after a short run
out into the inlet and scared away to
the north. Commander Read left for
Atlantic City a message of deep appre-
citation of the splendid reception ac-
corded the NC-4 and its mission.
The number of recruits secured here
was not as great as had been hoped for.

Instead of Pennsylvania having the
highest number Of reflections in the draft
during the war on account of physical

the average for the entire country, de-
clarcd Major w. G. Murdock, who was
the chief draft officer in this state.
Major Murdoch said that, while the
first report of the provost marshal gen
eral showed that the average ratio in
the United States of the physically un-
fit to the total number of registrants
examined was 29.11 and that the ratio
shown for Pennsylvania was 1857, the
figures were incorrect.
He said that in the same report
statistics showing the number OF men
accepted and rejected by Pery board in
detail indicated that the percentage OF
reflections was only 1856. This per
centage should not be considerd high
owing to the regulations as they were

New York. Sept. 24.-More than
5000 tenants and landlords got to-
gcthcr" at hearing Of the mayors
committee on rent profiteering in the
Bronx last night--so effectively that
n riot call brought the police reserves
to separate them after Cornelius
O'Bricn, chairman Of the meeting,
had been struck twice in the face
by an enthusiastic participant in
the general melee.
The best laid plans of the
mayors committee were to have
Bronx rent matters threshcd out in
the classrooms Of the Morris High
School, with tenants and landlords
arguing their cases in the most
gentlemanly and rhetorical style.
But every appearance of landlord
before his tenants elected such a hue
and cry that no business could be
accomplished, and the meeting fin
ally was adjourned.
