SENATORS DISCUSS
IRISH QUESTION
Resolution Asks U. S. to Put
Cause Before League
of Nations.

Discussion of the Irish question broke
out in the Senate this afternoon in a
spirited rapid fire debate when Senator
Walsh OF Montana, democrat, brought
UP his resolution which provides in
effect that the government Of the Unit
ed States when the treaty Of peace is
ratified, shall bring to the attention of
the league of nations the right of the
people Of Ireland to self government
Senator Walsh pointed out that arti-
Gle IL OF the covenant of the league of
nations sets forth the right of each
member OF the league to bring to the
attention Of the council or the assem-
bly, any circumstance which threat
ems good understanding between ma
tons and menaces the world. Senator
Walsh recalled that as a result Of
the great meeting held in Philadel-
phia a delegation was sent to Yer
sailles seeking q hearing in behalf Of
the embryo 1ic Irieh republic. The view.
however, was taken that only nations
recognized as being established should
be heard at Versailles

Republican Leaders Protest.

Republican leaders declared en-
phatically today that the Senate would
not consent to participation by Amer
lean representatives in the league of
nations or other International COM
missions until the peace treaty has
been ratified by the Senate, and spe-
cific laws enacted later by Congress
authorizing such representatives and
providing for their expenses.
Opposition to premature participation
of American representatives. these lead
ers said. is so pronounced that new
reservation declaring that appointment
of American delegates shall await legis-
lation by Congress is under considera-
ton. The suggestion for a specific res
ervation on this point, it was said, has
come generally from the entire republi-
can membership of the Senate.

Would Not Deceive Irish.

any purpose of deceiving the Irish or
any one else.

Asks About Six British Votes.

Senator Penrose interrupted at this
point to ask if the cause of ireland
would have a better showing if the
United States had six delegates, the
same as Great Britain, instead of one.
Senator Walsh replied that it made
no difference whether the United
States had one or six hundred, mas
much as no action will result; that it
is simply proposed to establish a
forum to give the Irish people a
hearing, and furthermore if this ac-
ton were taken it could only be by
unanimous vote.
Senator Lenroot suggested that if
the council should take such action it
would violate article X of the covenant,
W hich guarantees to preserve the terri
torial integrity of all nations as at pres
eflt constituted.
Senator Walsh protested that article
protected against external aggression
only.
Senator Lenroot retorted if appeal
should be made to the council or assem-
bly, and that the league should act, that
would constitute external aggression
against England. Senator Lenroot went
on to claim that if England should raise
the point that the Irish was a domestic
question and if the league insist upon
taking jurisdiction Of it the league might
at some time take Jurisdiction over the
immigration in the United States or the
tariff question.
