LLOYD GEORGES LATEST.

NNE would indeed need to be an oPtimiS TO
~ discern much hope or promise in the
double policy of peace and repression which
Lloyd George prescribed for Ireland yesterday
Lloyd Georges proposal recalls an old story OF an
inexpet hunter who observed that he frequently
flushed two birds but could aim at only one. To
remedy this failing he bent the barrels OF his shot
gun into the form of V and then aimed between
the BIRDS expecting to bag both.
Needless to say his bag was not heavy, but the
added kick caused by the discharge Of both barrels
at once gave the hunter painful shooting shoulder.
Lloyd Georges proposal is not whit more sensible,
Either proposal might conceivably bag the bird in
the Irish ,icket, but the two together can do MOTH
ing but excite and inflame the al-too-effeTveScent
Irish temper.
England win be foolish indeed if it follows Lloyd
George in this particular vagary. The huntsman in
the story ruined his gun, Lloyd George is in dan
ger of spelling both his "barrels'

the public should not pay more fare
when all you get for nothing In the

Coal will come down as everything
else Is doing and the subway will pay
dividends on a scent fare. The cities
named by the Interborough as oharg-

10 ths Bdi,og Of The D1sninS wOriaI
In your recent editorial on Ireland
you say that tho Irish are not yet fit
to govern themselves-that they
should accept the best that they can
get from the British Government,
namely, Home RWle. Now as to tho
ability OF the Irish to rule, be It
known TO you that ireland was civ
ilized centuries before Britain, while
the Druids were still ministering to
the fetish worshippers-the heather
Brltons. From Ireland dt was that
England got her learning; is the pupil
then greater than It's master since, as
you say, ireland Is not at to rule
herself?
Aside from that It is rather imper-
tinent to ask one nation to live in
thraldom to another, however that
bondage may be liberaliEed, inasmuch
as we ourselves did not see fit to do
the same, and, mark you, at that time
we were not n distinct nation. In the
face OF President Wilson's repeated
declarations, what right has England
in ireland at ANT In his address to
the Senate Jan. 20, 1917, ne says: mo
peace can last, or ought to last, which
does not recognize and accept the
principle that governments derive all

OF the governed, and that no right

As such, ii is Congress that can make i'm
mediate start toward the fulfilment of Republican
pledges.
Why, then, are Republican leaders TOW telling
the country it must still wait indefinitely for relief
legislation on the promise Of which the Republican
Party was last month voted into pOwerl
The present Congress is Republican The next
Congress will be Overwhelmingly Republican.
Why, then must the people Of the United States
struggle ON under burdens which it was to be the
first Republican duty to remover
Why Is tax revision to be leisureIy discussed
through another year1
Why Is the establishment OF national budget
system that will cut Government expenditures and
lessen the tax load now treated as matter Of no
pressing importance?

asked for votes on the plea that II was bursting with
zeal to rush to the country's aid

Where Is the zeal'
The Republican Platform bitterly denounced the
Wilson Administration for having failed, so Repub-
leans claimed to meet the 'vital need" of the Ma

declared:
Sound policy demands the early accom-
phshment Of that real reduction Of the tax
burden which may be achieved by SubSti-
tuting simple for complex tax Laws and pro-
cedure, prompt and certain determination Of

Is that what the Republican Chairman OF the
House Ways and Means Committee means when he
says that if the revision of revenue and tariff laws
can be accomplished during 1921, Congress will
have shown exceptional legislative speed
Let there be no mistake:
With great Republican victory won, with COM
ing Republican Administration assured OF mpGece-
dented Republican majorities in both Houses, and
with the Democratic Administration now drawing to
Its close committed to the same policies of tax re-
vision and national retrenohment which Republicans
have so loudly proclaimed responsibility for further
delay in providing the country with sorelyneeded
reoonsuuctive legislation along these lines IS more
tran ever Republican responsibility.
In the late campaign the Republican Party made
its appeal to the voters Of the United States with
the assurance that Republican initiative stood ready
to repay popular confidence with prompt legislative
aid and relief
If that aid is not now forthcoming the RepIbli-
can Party is proved faithless.
It's pledges were mere bids for votes.
