Washington, Jan. 22.-Appearing for
the second day before the house inter-
state commerce committee j. Ogden
Armour, president of Armour & Co.,
was questioned further today by men,
bers of the committee as to operation
Of the meat packing industry. The
committee is conducting hearing i'll
connection with the bill proposing gov
ernment regulation of the industry.
Establishment of a central agency to
control shipments of meat animals 10
market was advocated by Mr.. Armour
as means Of stabilizing prices and
preventing gluts in the market. He
said, however, that supply was not the
only factor in fixing the market price
Tor livestock, which depended also on
the fluctuating demand for meat.
Replying to Representative Steph-
ems. Of Nebraska, Mr.. Armour said the
consumer. could protect himself in a
measure against high prices by re-
ducer of live stock like the packer
had to take whatever the market was
paying at the time he sold.
Middle Ground Urged.
I'VE are very much interested in
maintaining a reasonable price, much
more so than in having price so high
as to discourage the eating Of meat or
too low to prevent the raising Of cat
tle." Mr.. Armour said.
"Is there any way that fat cattle
can be sold at price based on produc-
tion COSTS" Mr.. Stephens asked.
I'VE would welcome very heartily
any arrangement that would accom-
|'plish that the witness said.
''If there was little more liberality
ir the treatment OF the packers II
would be 100 times better for the gen.
eral public. The packers have been

neither I nor any Of my staff engaged

applies to the bolshevist diplomats in

as follows:
"The nation Of Ireland. having her

assembled. upon every free nation to
support the Irish republic. by recog-
nizing Ireland's national status and
her right to vindication at the peace
conference"
1t declared that Ireland was radi-
cally distinct from England in race
language. customs and traditions
Ireland. it said. was one OF the mos,
ancient nations Of Europe. She hac
preserved her national integrity anc
v;sor intact thru seven centuries o'
foreign oppression and never had re-
I:nouished her national rights, which
she had defantly proclaimed every
generation thruout the era Of English
u.rrpation down to her last glorious
resort to arms in 1915
After referring, to her geographical
position the address continued:
'Treland's independence is de-
manded. BY the freedom OF the sea-
her great harbors will be opened to al
nations instead OF being a monopoly
to England. Ireland calls every free
nation to uphold her national claim tc
complete independence as an Irish re-
public against the arrogant preten-
sions Of England. which were founded
on fraud and sustained by overwhelm
ing military occupation. She oe'
mands to be confronted publicly with
England at the congress OF nations
that the civilized world. having judged
between England wrong and lrisf
right, may guarantee Ireland Its
permanent support Of the maintain
ance Of INDEPENDENCE"

Interest rates were kept low and
stable. in spite Of big demand for
credit from many sources, Mr.. Will
