FIGHT FOR STATE RIGHTS
Austrian Republic Duplicates Strug-
gle Suffered by American Republic.

Vienna, Dec. 23.-The Austrian re-
public is passing thru a states
rights crisis very similar to that
which marked an earlier stage of the
American republic. Provinces are
demanding a high degree of indie
pendence from the central govern
ment and in some of them such as
the Tyrol and Upper Austria and
Styria. it amounts almost to complete
autonomy
If their demands are eventually
granted. about the only thing that
would be left to the central govern
ment would be foreign relations and
the regulations of foreign import and
export traffic and limited taxation.
The states insist upon their right to
levy export duties on goods destined
for other states. Students of the situ-
alton say this is merely a phase of the
transition stage thru which the new
republic is passing and will gradually
cure itself

FOURTH ATTEMPT At SOLUTION

Hope for No Support From
Any Faction in Ireland.

London. Dec. 23.-Aside from one
or two irreconcilable anti-home rule
journals, London newspapers this
BILE reception to the governments new
scheme for Irish self government.
None, however expresses genuine ex-
pectation of the success of the plan.
While it is recognized that such a
bill as Premier Lloyd George outlined
yesterday, the fourth home rule meas
ure to be presented to parliament, will
be absolutely rejected by a large sec
tion of the Irish people and regarded
with suspicion and distrust by others
it Is contended 1t deserves to be fairly
considered and tried. sThe Daily News
perhaps the most thoro champion of
the home rule of the London news
papers and Il severe critic of Premier
Lloyd George and the coalition gov
ernment, says:
THE government will give Ireland a
greater degree of autonomy since it
sets up an Irish parliament and it
Inanifestly contemplateS the probabil-
ity of a united Irish parliament. In
the desperate situation in which Ire
| land now stands this office SO far as
Englishmen can judge, should not be
rejected out of hand. assuming it to be
honestly put forward
Is Only Way Out.
Belief that the bill offers the only
possible way out of the Irish tangle is
I expressed by the Liberal Chronicle,
which says on the whole the measure
appears generous. ForeseeinS the
plan will be opposed nearly every
where in Ireland because none of the
! contending factions is really willing to
| be fair to any Of the Others" the
| newspaper says:
| ':The government, the British peo-
| pie and the British parliament must
recognize and discount these opposi-
| tions in advance. Only in such way
can any change which is either just or
workable be achieved in Ireland"
| The Daily Mail declares it to be a
| better scheme than any previous gov
| ernment has produced and an honest
| endeavor conceived with a single aim
of ministering to the good OF Ireland
while maintaining the unity of the
| British empire.
In commenting on the bill the Tele-
graph describes it as "a proposal
which will commend itself to free
! dom loving minds everywhere as a
Just and fair tender of seif-govern!77
Representing the extreme unionist
| position, the Morning Post says:
1T is a bad settlement-bad for

| Irish question. and bad for Great
| Britain because it weakens the United
Kingdom It is merely the climax of
| long betrayal. We have chosen as a
rooted policy to be friends to our enc
| mics and enemies to our friends
While it is realized everywhere that
! no support of the measure may be ex-

that when English opinion has passed
