here TO a speech By Lord Robert Ce-
Gil at a closed session Of the new Cen
- party, In which he said:
lreland's salvation lies in real self
determination. We must so "a far a.
we can in the direction OF the wishes
of the Irish Themselves. We must
not desert Ulster but give the rest OF
Ireland what ii wants. the largest
measure OF independence possible.
You will have TO make financial ad-
justin ents between Ulster and the rest
OF Ireland. Ask the peaple OF Ulster
county by county. il they want to
JON the rest of Ireland: then you will
ha a settlement with some pros
poets OF fnaifty.
With regard to the industrial crisis
Lord Robert said:
Industrial peace in Englnad can
only be secured by giving labor a
voice in the management National
i-ation Is only substitute for private
employers and Is insufficient"

new solution of the Fiume problem
has just been cabled to President will

lively that this new plan provides for
the cession by Italy to the league OF
nations for ninety nine years of part
Of the port OF Fiume and of the port
Of Barros. with all the port and rail-
road facilities necessary for the trans
portation service TO the Hinterland.
A small portnon Of the port of FSume

and to serve the Immediate interests OF
Fiume City. The districts coded to the
league of nations are entirely sepa
rrted from the city, and the league.
which is to have direct administration

tcrland.
The plan would leave the greater
part OF the city territory OF F4ume I'M
Ger Italian sovereignty 1t calls for
the return to Italy of the Itchy pier
TO serve the Italian steamship line to
Venice and Ancona.
The proposed arrangement would
also give the league OF nations the

thus making IT unnecessary to create
ali Independent free state to comprise
the territories traversed by these

jects, it is understood. reflects the
findings of the experts who have
studied the question since the strong
i'm petus was given at the conference
called early in the week at the Of
fee OF Attorney General Palmer to
beating down the high prices.
Al this conference we're w. B. Col
Yer. of the Federal Trade Comm ssion,
AttorneyGeneral Palmer, Secretary
OF Commerce Refe!d; Secretary of
Agriculture, Houston; Secretary OF
Labor. wilson and Railroad Director
Hines.
The views and studies Of these men
covered every phase of the problem.
Secretary of Labor, Wilson and d.
r, ctor General Hines played a very
prominent part in the conclusions
reached by the conferences as one OF
the acute questions before the coun-
try is the strike of the railroad shop
men.
Living Cost and Wage.
Virtually all of the members of
this conference heard the president
read his message today. Director
General Hines was not present, being
engaged in the settlement of the
strike. Verbal changes only were
made during the reading OF the mes
sage.
Hence, according to one Of the con-
ferees the message expresses the
unanimous opinion of the government
experts who have been concerned with
the high cost of living. and the pres
ent conditions of labor and wages that
the lack of balance between the cost
of 2ood and wages is the most fruit
full cause of the strike.
II was pointed out by one Of the
conferees that the strike problem
could only be settled by Legislation
which would establish a standard
living cost and a standard wage.
