definite and adequate settlement
OF the Irish problem is a rather re-
mote and nebuous thing and the in
cuoatlng proposals Of the British gov
ernmcnt to give Ireland the freedom
she seeks will probably not be some
thing acceptable to four-hfths of the
irish people. In substance this WAS
the outlook presented yesterday by Sir
Horace Plunkett, exponent of the
Ireland, who arrived here yesterday
from Queenstown on the White Star
liner Baltic.
He came for rest, he said, and wher-
ever he seeks seclusion in this coun
try, such place he fancied would
seem wilderness by comparison with
the life in turbulent Ireland.
Sir Horace explained that his visit
here had no political significance. 1t
is his annual holiday of two months
which he has made it practice 20
spend in the United States.
He came here last December troubled
with insomnia, became i'll at the home
of Lawrence Godkin in this city, and
was obliged to undergo treatment at
Battle Creek. Mich.
Despite his i'll health. Sir Horace
found time to make soundings in
America and he took back to Dublin
what he regarded as Americas attitude
toward home rule.
View of American Wishes
Americans, he said, do not concern
themselves much with the Details but
they arc desirous of giving to Ireland
as large a measure of self-government
as is consistent with the military safety
of Great Britain. Americans also, he
said, are desirous of giving security to
the minorities, especially Ulster, SO
that they may be secured against
oppression by the majority Sir Horace
said that in his judgment it was doubt
ful if America desired Ireland to be an
independent republic, but that she
wished her to have ali the independence
possible subject to the military security
of Britain.
The present government bill offered
for the solution of the Irish question
may be acceptable to Westminster, Sir
Horace explained, but it is deemed an
expression of the wishes of a fifth of
the Irish people who happen to be
strongly represented in the British
Parliament.
THE bill as offered by the govern
ment," he said, will do no good No
lament, it will never go in Ireland.
While it represents the supposed inter
ests Of one-fifth of the Irish popula ton,
it ls wholly repugnant to the other
four-tifths of the Irish people.
"The attitude of the English press is
the chief obstacle in the solution Of Ire
lands problem. If the British press
would eliminate the policy dictated by
the government, it would be safe to say
that ninetenths of the British people
would be against the bill as it stands
Little help may be looked for until the
real news of Ireland is truthfully told
and circulated in England"
Similarities in Peoples
Sir Horace said that at bottom the
English and Irish people were much
alike. They have the same ideals and
viewpoints regarding government and
the solution of public questions.
The British people are not informed
New-York tribune., 1920-12-20

about Ireland" he said, "and that
makes the Irish question difficult. In
America and France the newspapers
have been getting the real news of Ire
land for several months. The French
and American press, being independ-
ent in spirit, have printed much fairer
accounts of the situation 10 Ireland
than have the British newspapers. Be-
cause of this the people of America and
France are better informed about Ire
land than are the British"
Sir Horace said he did not intend to
speak on the Irish question until he had
again made himself acquainted with
the conditions in this country and the
present attitude of America toward
Ireland.
He said he had rot come to testify
before the Irish investigating com
mittee in Washington, promulgated bv
Oswald Garrison Willard, but that if
he were invited to express his views
he preferred to do so before a more
impartial body.

BUSINESS METHODS A RE.
YET II SEEMS
THAT PONz| MEETS ALL
DEMANDS AND PAYS OFF

Boston, July 30.--Charles ]. Ponzi,
who claims to have amassed millions
within a few months and who has
paid to the public large profits on
their investments in his deal in inter
national exchange. appeared today
almost to have satisfied the question
with his investors as to his solvency.
Only a short line formed today for
the receiving Of disbursements. The
clerks said they were paying off nearly
as much on notes matured for the
50 per cent profit in As days as they
were returned to investors the amounts
on deposit, without interest.
The amount paid out by Ponzi since
the run began Monday. was estab-
lished by his manager, Miss Lucy
Nell, at $1,000 900. And we have
as PonI owes, so there is no need
of anyone being nervous" she added.
Pon2i a few days ago announced
that his liabilities were about s3,000.
900 indicating that public participation
in his schemes already had been re-
duced by one half, with further re-
ceipts stopped by his agreement with
the authorities to accept no more
funds, until investigation Of his ac-
counts is completed.
The run off frightened affairs and
gave right to investors to cover, Miss
| Nell said, which meant more money
in the already bulging pockets of
/ PonH, as matured notes were paid
| only on the basis of the actual invest
ment.
Their money has been working
for us all this time and Mr.. Ponzi
now can keep the so per cent profit,
which would have gone to these peo-
Jle. You will realizs what this means
when you know that nearly sl,oO0,00O
which we have paid out, has been
on unmatured notes, saving to Mr..
Ponzi of almosti 100000" she said.
The manager said she had seen
nothing of investigators as yet, al
though federal, state and county in
quiries are under way. Her books
she continued, were open for inspec'
tion by anyone in authority, and
would show them Mr., Ponzi had more
than enough money TO satisfy al
claims
Examination of the books. however
according to Miss Nell will not solve
the mystery of how Ponzi has made
his money.
To the statements of Postmaster
Patton Of New York. that there are
not enough international coupons ir
the world to build up the fortune
which PonM claims as his Miss Mel
declared that her chiefs manner OF
"cashing in" on his operations was
a business secret which he intended
keeping and which examination of his
books would not show.
