IRISH INDEPENDENCE

The Irishman's claim to political independence is not wholly senti- mental, according to Alphonsus O'Mara, mayor of Limerick and one of its leading manufacturers. There is, he says, a much more practical side to the question, the desire for economic independence and the op- portunity for industrial advance ment, which the Irishman feels he can never attain until he is per mitted to make his own laws and deal authoritatively with his own problems.
 Material advantages have come out of every movement of the Irish for freedom, but the main grievance remains" said MT. O'Mara. "The one point is we are heavily over taxed. This year England is mak- ing profit of twenty millions out of us. That is she is taxing us thirty-five millions and giving us a government which costs her no more than fifteen millions. These figures are not ours, but hers. We have England's word for it.
 Ireland has improved its posi- ton in the past years, but we have not advanced industrially. We lack capital and we lack confidence be- cause England and England's states men have told us that we are not fit to govern ourselves, that we lack those essentials which make for self-government of the mass and therefore of the individual. Our farming population, absorbing this sentiment through oft reitera- tion, have withheld their money when it was needed by Irish enter prise. They have deposited it in banks, vast sums of it, and the money has been loaned to English men, for the development of English industry ....
 Limerick, some 75 years ago had a prosperous mercantile marine Now the Shannon bears not on its bosom a single ship that can call Limerick its home port.
 Also we had fine textile in. dustry, with more textile workers in Ireland than there were then 1T England. But that has gone the way of the ships.
 "We have here the finest rive, in the world for shipbuilding We could line the shores of the Shannon with busy shipyards and workshops But the people who would take the initiative have not the money, anc because we are told we are not capable of f-government, the people who have the money vii not lend it to those who could use it. .....
 "The world is passing through an industrial crisis. Every nation America, England, France and ever Germany, is making preparations fol world trade. But Ireland is moi allowed to take any industrial ster that would help her people here a; home. Why, the British governmen. even refused me a passport wher I wanted to go to America to place the natural advantages of Limerick before your investors and ship owners. So here we are, high and dry, with the ocean of prosperit, all around us.
 I've could only take the step: necessary to develop this country II we "eie dseuteu Heidhu "ouio be allowed to make its own law: and provide its own government for in no other way could we give American investors any guarantee that England would not tax their in, vestment out of existence

QUESTION ON WHICH
 SIGNING OF TREATY DEPENDS

Berlin, Monday. May 26-(By l. p The question whether Germany will sign the peace treaty or not, it was believed here tonight, depends alto- gether on whether the allied and as- sociated powers will agree to a plebi- scite in all disputed territories and the reception of Germany into the league of nations as a member with an equal vote
 Both these issues are made the card'- nal features of the German reply which has been approved by the cabinet and Count Von BrocIldorff- -Rantzau and his associates and which is being put into shape for presentation within the. next thirty six hours.
 The reply, in general, will reaffirm the adherence of Germany to the principles laid down in the armistice conditions and will lay especial weight on tie right of self determination which Germany is willing to grant in all contested sections of her frontiers. Tho allies also will be asked to abide by the decision of a popular vote in Austria on the question of union with Germany.
 some of the more prominent econo- mic and financial issues suggested in the allied peace terms Germany is willing to have adjuested by the league of nations, in which she expects to be- come | member on q basis of equal ity.
 If the world league were based on any other scheme of membership. it was declared to the correspondent in authoritative quarters tonight, Ger many would be forced to consider it as an alliance against her.

GREAT WELCOME IN LONDON
 FOR HAWkER AND GRIEVE

London, May 27.-(By A. P.)-Harry G. t'ker and Lieutenant Command CT Mackenzie Grieve were given a re- markable reception on their arrival in London tonight from northern Scot land, where they were landed Monday morning after their unsuccessful at- tempt to fly across the Atlantic Ocean from Newfoundland to Ireland in all dir1,iane.
 Such enthusiasm as was shown in the greeting of the two intrepid air men, for whose safety after they had failed to arrive at their destination on scheduled time the world had been fearful, probably never has been ex- ceeded, except in the times of corona tion.
 A foretaste of the great welcome that the aviators were to receive came dur ing the afternoon when Mrs. Hawker went to the railway station to proceed to Granthan to meet her husband. The throng about the station loudly cheered the plLcky little woman, who never gave up confidence that her husband ultimate would be rescued, even though the hours he was overdue grew into days and finally reached a week.
 Arriving in London, headed by an Australian band and a body of Aus Ltdlan troops ana large nunDef or automobiles, Hawi1er and Grieve pass ed through the densely packed streets on the way to the Aero Club. Another delegation in the parade, which was accompanied by a band. was composed of workers from the Sopwith works, where inc machine in which Hawker and Grieve attempted to span the ocean was constructed.
 The first official welcome was ac- corded the airmen on the station at St. Pancras by the mayor of that borough, but still, another was given them inside the Aero Club. building After the ceremony at the Aero Club the aviators were entertained by the Sopwith workers
 Like Mrs. HawRer AIr. and Mrs Grieve proceeded up the line and met their son and bade him welcome and congratulated him on his rescue before he reached London.
 Asked whether he would make an other attempt to fly across the Atlantic Hawller said tonight:
 T don't know. It depends upon the Sopwith firm"

 Concerning the Sarre region, Ger many will ask France to give up her territorial pretensions to this region and permit economc control over all the coal output there.
 It is proposed that the German feet be transferred to an international trust. managed by the Americans and controlled by the League or Nations. The trust would be given the mercan- tile fleets of all the other maritime nations, and every nation would be represented in the central administra = ton in a manner corresponding to the nations tonnage Germany announces her readiness to deliver up fifty per cent of her mercantile feet.
 Besides. in conformity with the pro- position made by the former director Of the Hamburg American Line.

NO SAFE. CONDUCT FOR
 IRISH PEACE DELEGATES

Paris. May 27-(By A. P.)-The ef- forts of Ex-Governor Dunne of IT, linois, Prank P Walsh and Michael Ryan. representing various Irish soci-. cites in the United States, to secure safe conducts for Edward De Valera Arthur Griffith and Count Piunkett 10 come to Paris to present the Irish case to the peace conference, ended today with g written communication from Secretary of State Lansing to 11r. r Walsh. After acknowledging the oFlSi- nal request Secretary. Lansing says:
 q immediately took steps to ac- quaint myself with the: facts of the case which transpired before the mat ter was brought to my attention by your letter. l am informed that when the q, ,sstion Of approaching the Brit- ish authorities with a view to pro- curing the safe conducts in question was first considered, every effort was made in an informal way to bring you into friendly touch with the British i representatives here, although owing to the nature of. the .case'it was not possible to treat the matter officially. The British authorities having con- sented that you and your colleagues should visit England and Ireland al though your passports were only good i for France, every facility was given ! to you to take the journey. Before 1 you returned, however, reports were received of certain utteraEces made
 by you and yo}l colleagues during your visit to Ireland.
 These suttera:nees, whatever they may have been gave. as l am Informed, Fdeepest offehse~to those persons With 1! whom you were seeking to deal. Con-
 sequenti5, 1t has seemed useless to make afly further effort in connection with the requests which you desire to , make.
 Tn CIV of the situation thus creat- ! cd, l regret to inform you that the American representatives feel that i any further effort on their part con-
 nccted with this matter would be futile land, therefore, unwisc.
 In reply to this, AIr. Walsh wrote | Secretary Lansing . long letter, de- Iclaring that the Irish delegation had not authorized anyone to make al ef-
 fort to bring it's members into friendly Irelations. with the British representa- tivcs in Paris or elsewhere.
 I The implications in your letter, says Mr. Walsh, that any person was Iacting unofhciaiiy, privately or secretly is therefore erroneous.
 The letter concludes with a reQuest lfor the names Of She persons offended
 by the utterances of the delegation il I4reland and denies that the deleGa tier made Uttcrance5 not. strictly in con- forrlitv with the purposes stated il
