PARLIAMENT
MAY DEBATE
IRISH POLICY
Expect Opening of Discussion
by Liberal Leaders in House
of Commons Next Tuesday
Action Eagerly Awaited.
NEGOTIATION SOUGHT

LONDON, Dec. 11.-Detate on the
governments Irish policy is expected
to be opened in the house of commons
by liberal leaders next Tuesday.
Announcement of martial law in
southwestern Ireland was accompan-
led by intimatlons that debate on the
subject was not desired, but it ap-
pears prota BILE the lower house of par
lament may be called upon to decide
whether the cabinets plans regarding
Ireland are to be carried into execu-
tion without the acquiescence OF the
legislative branch of the government.
This question, should it come to a
vote, would test the stability of the
Lloyd George cabinet.
Although the decIa ration of martial
law in Ireland has been decided upon
the door to negotiations between the
government and the Sim Fein is not
considered closed.
pers relative to the governments Irish
policy was, for the most part, re-
strained, and with the exception of
one journal, the governments propos-
ais were nowhere wholly condemned.
The feature of the premier's speech
that did not escape notice was the
fact he was in effect holding an olive
branch in one hand and the sword in
the other. 1t evoked some question
ing, but generally speaking was not
regarded as banishing hope of sue
cess.
"Few will question the wisdom and
propriety of the new policy said the
London Times, eff the government
shows true and settled purpose to
encourage the forces making for hon
orable settlement Martial law under
responsible control is preferable to the
existing system of indiscriminate and
iawless reprisals."
While remarking on the extraordi-
nary and contradictory dualism OF the
premier's announcement, the Daily
News agreed that conditions in dis
tricts affected by martial law should
be better, provided there is proper
administration of the military regime.
The newspaper expressed pleasure
at the premier's readiness to confer
with the Slim Feiners. Qualification
over the proclamation of martial law
in southwestern Ireland was express
ed by he Morning Post, but it Is
thought the proposal to confer with
that absurd and dangerous body
calling itself the Dali Hireann" before
restoring order, was somewhat du-
bious expedient.
Telegraph Stays Out.
The Telegraph, while not hostile, re-
fused to speculate on whether the
proposal should prove more success
full than it's many predecessors.
The only note of condemnation
came from the Daily Herald, organ of
labor 1t said the premier has def
initely pledged himself to a violation
of Justice and has sworn to crush Ire
land by jack-booted brutality" The
newspaper asked British labor wheth-
er it is going to take the responsibility
of supporting and munitioning the
wickedness of the governments CO.
ercion policy, and thus dye its hands
with the blood of it's Irish comrades?

JAPAN WON'T: REDUCE
ARMAMENT UNLESS
UNITED STATES LEADS

GENEVA, Dec. 11-Japan cannot re-
duce her armament as long as the
United States is increasing hers, Wis
count Kikujiro Ishii of the Japanese
delegation declared, at a meeting Of
the armamnet committee this after
noon when the question of disarma-
ment was under discussion.
Committees of the assembly of the
League of Nations were called into
session this morning and the meeting
of the assembly was deferred until 4
o'clock today. 1t was anticipated that
when the assembly met, decision would
be reached as to the manner of choos-
ing the four elective members of the
council of the league.
1t has been decided by the commits
sion on technical organizations to send
the United States a special invitation
to make member of the International
advisory commission which will study
the question OF the opium traffic. The
commission will also carry out pro-
visions relating to the opium traffic
which were embodied in the Versailles
treaty.
May Solve Jurisdiction
Members of the International COM
mittee have found that they hope to
see a solution of the jurisdiction prob
lem that will satisfy those who have
objected to this feature of the pro-
posed international court.
They have inserted a clause in the
proposed plan which would provide
that state which is desirous of an
arrangement by which an offended ma
tion may vote an offender before the
tribunal may signify its acceptance OF
the provision for obligatory jurisdic-
tion. The clause would further
stipulate that this obligatory jurisdic-
tion would become reciprocally bind
ing upon all those nations which sig
nifty their acceptance.
This is far from meeting the orig
inal demands of some states. but hope
is expressed that the example fur
nished by the first nation to accept
the clause will be moral force strong
enough to oblige others to follow a
similar course

TEAMWORK
OF HOOVER
IS DOUBTED
Mark Sullivan Saws - Food
Administrator May Not Pos
sess Ability to Work With
Other Men.
IS MENTIONED OFTEN
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Dec. II. -
Herbert Hoover is mentioned for the
cabinet more often than any other
man and is mentioned for more posts
than any one else. Occasionally he
is mentioned for secretary o. state.
That suggestion is rather far-fetched.
OF course, it isn't indispensable that
the secretary of state should be law
yer-John Hay was not. But that
qualification is pretty essential, espe-
cially in an administration during
which, il the program of the Republi-
can leaders goes through, international
law Is for the first time to be reduced
to formal code, as an incident of
the International Association for pre-
serving peace.
Hoover is mentioned also for secre-
tary of the interior. for secretary of
commerce, and for secretary of labor.
Hoover is very able man. 1t isn't
quite the same kind of ability the pub
lie attributes to him and he has been
at disadvantage in the public ex-
pecting him to be the thing that he
really is not. Occasionally when Hoov-
er comes into direct personal contact
with the public, there is a sense of
disappointment. The reason is that
Hoover as a legend is one thing And
the real Hoover is another. The real
Hoover is just as impressive as the
legendary Hoover, but sometimes dis
appointingly different.
Regarded at Hero.
Because of the associations with
which Hoover first came into public
eye-as the Almoner of starving Bel
gium and that sort of thing-people
think of him as a person of great per-
sOnal benevolence, as a kind of cross
between Santa Claus and a medieval
mendicant saint. Hoover is not that
at all. He is a practical engineer with
mind coldly intent On results. A
mind that is one of the most incisive
in America, with prodigous capacity
for work and with that intangible
Uuality that makes things go, the quail
ity that makes success. In addition to
that, Hoover has all the fundamental
Qualities of super-journalist. He has
the curiosity about facts and the pleas.
ure in digging them out He has the
capacity for accurate generalization
from facts; he has the reformer's itch
to make things better; the zeal for
public service, and he has a unique
sense of publicity and timeliness.
Contributes to Thought.
Every speech that Hoover makes
and he is in more demand for speeches
than almost any other man-contains
fresh material. Each speech is a def,
mite contribution to public thought,
and is received by the newspapers and
the public with the interest and weight
it deserves.
Hoover is in demand for the fresh
ness and thoroughness of his thought.
Not for any fiatitudinous after-dinner
ornateness nor because he is funny,
nor for any other kind of entehtain-
ment. He is in demand for what he
has to say. No living American excels
Hoover in the value of his contribu-
tions to contemporary thought
In considering Hoover as a cabinet
possibility, not only is it to be remem-
bered that he is remarkably able

(By Associated PreSS.D

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE mill
tary situation in Haiti and Santo DO
mingo from hepoint of view of the
marine corps is Extremely satisfac
tory" Major General Lejcune, com
mandant of the corps, declares in his
annual report to the secretary OF the
navy made public today.
A year ago, the bandit situation in
Haiti was quite serious" General LIE,
jcune says, but the present brigade
and sendarmeirie commanders have
handled the situation in mastery
fashion and now banditry has been al
most completely suppressed
There has been no serious bandltry
in San Domingo in the last year, Cen
eral Lejeune says, adding that on his
recent visit he found the marines sta
toned there to be in efficient condi-
tion.
After Effects Disappear.
The latter effects" of the world war
have nearly disappeared from the ma
rine corps, the commandant continues
He believes that both officers and
men have overcome the re!aXatlons
and unrest which followed the wal
and that they are working unceasinS
ly to maintain the efficiency OF the
corps at it's highest standard.
General Lejeune recommends that
legislation be enacted which will al
low the retirement of marines who
served either as warrant or commits
stoned officers in the World War with
pay of the highest grade in which they
served during the emergency. He also
urges the creation of the grade OF
chief marine gunner, chief auartermas,
ter clerk and chief pay clerk for the
corns, the grades to be filled by pro-
motions.
