By EAMON DE VALERA. ''President of the Irish Republic"

Looking at the map of the world, Ireland seems but a speck in com parison with this half-continent, the United States. It is no more than two- thirds the size of the Empire State of New York, barely the size of the great Lake Superior.
 It is truly a small nation, com pared with big nations as they are reckoned on the European continent
 In Europe at the outbreak of the Great War, not to speak of the States newly established, there were, includ- ing Montenegro, no less then eleven sovereign independent states, the rights of which, If we except a tech- nical flaw in the case of Montenegro, were co-equaI with the rights of any of the great powers.
 Ireland exceeded five of these in extent, four in population, and no less than seven in revenue. Ireland is nearly three times the size Of Bel gtum, more than two and a half times the size of Holland, as big as Holland, Belgium and Montenegro combined. bigger than Denmark and Switzerland combined, nearly as big as Portugal and as big as Serbia, Greece or Bulgaria before the access sions of territory which they gain ed during the Balkan wars.
 The Population of Ireland.
 Ireland's population, depleted by one-haif though 1t has been within living memory, is still today nearly twice the population of Norway, once and a half that of Denmark, and greater than that of Switzerland by half million. It Is the sme practi- caIly as the population of Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece.
 The population of Ireland is nearly double the population of Cuba, though Ireland is less than three fourths the size of Cuba. The popu- lation of Ireland is greater than the populations of Chile, Costa Rica, Ec- uador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicar- agua, Panama, Paraguay, San Sal vador and Uruguay, all sovereign States on the American Continent.
 That is the position today even af- ter the depopulation of the last sev- enty years, a depopulation for which there is no parallel among civilized people.
 Were our position what it was be- fore the famine artificially created by England, whose statesmen regarded Ireland's increasing population as a menace-were our position what it was in 1S41, we could say that in Europe only France, England. Prus- sia and Spain equaled or exceeded Ireland in population. In that year, 1S41 we had more people on our is land than there were in Sweden, Nor way, Holland and Greece com bined. We had two men to every man in Belgium, two men to every man in Bavaria, more than two men to every man in Portugal, man for man with Southern Italy, more men than Nor thern Italy and far more men than Rumania. Bulgaria, Serbia, Albania, and Turkey in Europe all put to-

IRELAND MADE TO PAY TAXES FOR
 THE ROPE WHICH STRANCLES HER

I gether. And we had three men, als most to Englands five.
 What England's Rule Costs Ireland. So much for size and population Let us now turn to national revenue.
 Taking a pre-war year the year of 1913, Ireland's revenue was S4s,- 135,O0O, if we take the English sov- ereign as equal to five dollars. The revenue of Norway in that year was less than this by almost one-eighth, the revenue of Denmark still less, the revenue of Greece, Bulgaria and Ser- bia were but roughly one-half and the revenue of Switzerland but one- third that of Ireland.
 Ireland's revenue exceeds that of Bolivia. Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatmala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama Paraguay, Salva- dor and Uruguay
 The revenue of these small DOW CTS were all used to develop their own resources, to increase their na- tional prosperity as well as to main- tain their independence.
 The revenue of Ireland even the fraction of it that was spent in Ire- land was used, not to develop Ire- land but to keep Irelanu in com parative poverty and dependence. Ire land has always to pay even for the rope with which she is strangled, for the knife with which her throat is cut.
 With their national revenues, these States maintained their national gov ernments, consular and diplomatic services, their national armies, in some cases their national navies, whilst providing internally for their police forces, agriculture, industry transit. the education of the young and the support of the aged and in- firm, all on a lesser taxation per head than the people of Ireland have to pay the British exechequer for the privilege of being exploited. All their administration and other charges cost the people of these countries in no instances as much as one-half what English rule directly costs the people of Ireland
 What the Money Would Do.
 Why, for the money we were forc- ed to pay last year to England we could run the entire government bus mess of at least three European ountries-Denmark, Greece, Switz- erland-paying for all their police, soldiers, ships and guns.
 In Switzerland, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, Sweden and Partugal liberty cost per head that year respectively only B. 5.7 6. 7.2, 12S 145. while in Ireland political and economic sla- very cost us last year $40 per head.
 The estimated amount of revenue for the current year is 45,000.0O0 pounds, that is to say, $225 900, 900, or S51.27 per head.
 Costly and extrava gant as is the English administration in Ireland, out of the S176.O25, 900 paid in Ireland last year to the English treasury England expended only S65,O10,OO0 in Ireland, less than one-half, and pocketed the handsome surplus of S91,O15,OOO, as a direct profit from Ireland. This surplus profit to the British treasury this current year is estimated to amount to $159, ,99O, 900.

TREATY DELAY IS VERY COSTLY
 ID AMERICA

The average citizen probably has no conception of the loss and havoc wrought by the interminable delay by the United States Senate in ratifying the peace treaty. President Wilson knows how much depends upon early action and is leaving no stone un- turned to quicken ratification. AL though no one has said so, there is no doubt that the delay in giving con sideration to the American bankers plan for extending credits to Europe is inspired by the desire to increase the pressure upCn Congress to accept the covenant. It now appears certain that no broad, international financial scheme can be put into working order until the Senate signs on the dotted line.
 The effect upon our foreign trade of the demoralization in the internation- al exchanges is becoming increasingly grave. It now takes S1.14 of British money to buy a dollars worth of mer- chandise here, while France has to pay s1365,, Germany S1.SO and Italy sI465. This cannot fail to cut down most severely European purchases of American goods.

CLIMATE CHANCE IS PLANNED FOR
 NEWFOUNDLAND
Sea Wall At Belle Isle Would Shift Labrador
 Current Into Atlantic.
NEW ENGLAND COAST
 WOULD BE AFFECTED
Arctic Current Now Cuts Off Gulf Stream From
 These Shores.

Newfoundland is contemplating changing it's climate. The impossible of a decade ago is the every day af- fair of today, so why shouldn't a country change its climate if it doesn't like it?
 The climate of Newfoundland would be changed if a breakwater were built across the Straits of Belle Isle between the island and the main land and the cold Labrador current were shunted out into the Atlantic ocean. Such a dam is being seriously considered. It would cost an immense sum of money but engineers say it presents few difficulties.
 The Labrador current at present is the chief factor in moulding the eli mate not only of Newfoundland but of the Maritime province of Canada and of New England. Coming down from the Arctic ocean, it pours through the Straits of Belle Island and, circulating around the Gulf of St. Lawrence, washes with its cold flood the coasts of Newfoundland, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
 Then passing through Cabot Strait, it turns South and sweeps along New England. Its strong southward flow acts as a cold wedge which pries the Gulf stream away from all these coasts and shunts that ocean river. bearing the warmth of the tropics, off northeastward across the ocean.
 Blocked From Gulf.
 If the Belle Isle dam is built the Labrador current would be blocked out of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and, sheering off southeast, would miss the mainland and continue to affect only the northeastern coast of Newfound- land The Gulf stream that then would ease in against the continent and, flowing into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, warm all the surrounding shores and islands.
 The Gulf stream is responsible for the mild winter climate of England and northern France. England is farther north than Newfoundland. If after cooling off in its long passage across the northern seas, the Gulf stream is still such a factor in temp ering England's climate, it would have an even greater effect, it is be- iieved in tempering the winter climate of eastern Canada and New Eng land.
 Its influence would be felt far in land. The mouth of the St. Lawrence ern Alberta. Yet while the St Lawr- ence ports are blocked with ice in winta<. thArA, ara onlx l1Eht snOUfAlls

ADMIRAL GONNA HERE SATURDAY
 OR MONDAY Big Reception Planned For Italian Naval
 Hero. TO AID ITALIAN
 RELIEF DRIVE Biggest Block Party To Be Staged Tonight, Select
 Tag Generals.
By Temple

Plans for a big reception in honor of Admiral Ugo Conza of the Italian navy, who is coming here either Sat urday or Monday in connection with the Italian Orphans Relief drive, are now being made by executives of the drive, and a number of city officials. While none of the arrangements are definitely complete it is planned to conduct the famous war hero through the city to all points of interest par ticularIy visiting Bridgeport's world famous munition factories which sup piled the allied nations during ths war.
 Ever since arriving in American waters Admiral Conza has been re- ceived with great demonstrations in Boston, Newport and New York, and in crder to accept Bridgeport's invita- ton he was obliged to decline an in- vitation to go to Baltimore where elaborate preparations for his visit were being made. The admiral will personally command two battalions of marines in a parade in Washing ton, Oct 12, where he is to be re- ceived by President Wilson. Later he will visit Philadelphia and Annap- oils.
 The biggest block party ever staged in Bridgeport will take place tonight on the new plaza between Main and Water streets. TEe party is held in connection with the drive, and while there vii be no charge for admission, there will be no charge for admission, The event is expected to be the big gest and best of its kind, and due to the fact that it is being held in the heart of the business district thou sands will no doubt be on hand to en- joy the fun. An excellent program for dancing has been arranged, the. dan cling to take place on the newly laid pavement on John street extension. There will be special music and a variety of fine entertainment. George Greenspun will lead in a community sing. The committee is being given the cooperation of the Board of Rec reation, Police and Fire departments.
 Every captain and worker in the tag day sale is expected to attend a m meeting at the campaign headuuar- ters, room 41, at the Stratfield to- night. Mrs. Frank Myers, who is in charge of tag day, will issue final in structions to her staff and it is i'm portant that all attend. There are still number of districts which vol unteers could be assigned to cover on tag day IT they can get Tn IOucn with Mrs. Myers, and those women or girls able to help either all or part Of tag day are asked to be at tonight's meeting, which begins at 1880 o'clock.

on the prairie farmlands of southern Alberta and livestock graze out of doors all the year round. Alberta is an illustration of the effect of a dist ant warm sea current. Its wonder fully open winters are due to the chinook winds which, warmed by the Japanese current that washes the shores of British Columbia filter across the Rocky Mountain ranges.
 Under present conditions, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec, and Prince Edward Island are fine farm ing countries and their output in farm products especially fruits and livestock, according to statistics of the Canadian National railways. compares favorably in bulk with that of other parts of the Dominion. But with a warmer climate, agriculture would be wonderfully stimulated. The value of land would be enhanced by billions of dollars.
 Open All Winter.
 St. Lawrence river ports, through which a great part of Canada's export trade in wheat passes, would remain open all winter and a tremendous ac- cession of wealth would result to the nation from this unrestricted, all-the- year-round commerce.
 Montreal, as a result, would sudden ly loom as a potential trade rival of New York.
 New industries would spring up everywhere. Population would be vastly increased. The Belle Isle pro- ject would change not only the cli- mate but perhaps the future destiny of Canada and the entire north- eastern coast of North America
