peace In Ireland By Christmas"
could not be accomplished, and the
week was marked by great many
murders, raids and bloody fights, in
various parts of the island. On
Thursday the British military forces
occupied the Dublin city hall and mu-
nicipal offices, BUSTING the corporation
officials, who have been active sup
porters of the dali eireann or Irish
parliament, and thus dislocating the
entire business of the city. The seiz-
ure Nf the city buildings was mill
tary measure for the protection of
the castle, which is Gut few feet
away.
Despite the gloomy situation, the
prospects were said to be fairly
bright for early restoration of order.
One sign of weakening on the part of
the Sim Feiners was the collapse of
the railway strike against the carry
ing of munitions or troops. This
strike had been going on for seven
months and the operating forces of
the railways had been so depleted by
dismissals that railway service was
gradually approaching the vanishing
point. Finally realizing that this was
harming only Ireland, and that many
towns and districts were suffering for
food supplies, the men have returned
to work, promising to carry anything.
Another thing that may weaken the
republican" cause if it is carried
into effect is plan to ask the Irish
people by formal referendum,
whether they are willing to carry the
home-rule act into operation instead
of accepting as final the Sim Fein
refusal. The proposition has been
submitted to the prime minister. The
home-rule act became law last week,
the house of lords having accepted
all the amendments made to the bill
by the commons. Several amendments
made by the lords, including one Gre
ating senates for both the northern
and southern parliaments, had been
accepted by the commons.

NEWS REVIEW OF

Harding's Plan for Association
of Nations Reaching Def
mite Form.
MORE CABINET PREDICTIONS
Dawes May Head Commission to Reor-
aanize Government Service-House
Passes Farmers Relief Tariff
Bill Scandal in Coal
Prices Uncovered.
By EDWARD W. PIckARD.

President-elect Harding's confer
ences at Marion with the best minds,
though by no means ended, seem al
ready to have resulted in the crystal
lizing of certain of his policies into
definite form. OF course the two that
arouse the greatest public interest are
those relating to foreign affairs ana
the League of Nations, and to the plan
for recognizing the nations business
and establishing it on more econom-
ic basis.
In discussing an association of ma
lions, there Is no evidence that Mr..
Harding has converted to his own
views such irreconcilables as Senators
Borah and Reed, or even Mr.. Bryan,
whose invitation to Marion aroused
the ribald laughter of the paragraph
ers. But Mr.. Harding seems to have
brought his theories into form nit for
presentation to the world. According
to what is said to be authoritative IN
formation, he believes the first ap-
proach to the formation of his "asso-
citation of nations" should be to OBJ
tain the assent of the five leading ma
lions, the United States, Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan. his theory
being that, once these nations have
Joined, the other nations will fall in
line. The basis of this association Is
to be world court to deal with justi-
ciable questions.
Mr.. Harding holds that no associa-
ton of nations can succeed without
the Endorsement of the leaders of pub
lie thought, in America and elsewhere,
and that these leaders must reach
agreement In the essentials, leaving
details to be settled later; that all
governing features must be eliminated
from the association, each nation re-
naming free to make its own de-
cisions; that the agreement must be
specific enough to prevent the posi-
bility of an offensive and defensive
military alliance of the five great
powers, and the association of ma
lions itself must place all nations on
an equal footing in the presentation
of their views on matters of world
policy.

TO REDUCE
TAXES

Gen. Charles Gates Dawes, the Chi
cago banker, who is said 20 be the
leading probability for appointment as
head of a commission to reorganize
the government service, was one of
the weeks visitors in Marion and
talked with the president-elect espe-
cially on the reduction of government
tai expenses and its relation to taxa
ton. After the interview General
Dawes said:
81 found that Senator Harding al
ready knew more than I did concern
ing this, and that the effort to reor-
ganize the government upon an eco
nomical basis is one of the tasks to
which he~ proposes to devote himself
most energetically. From conversa-
ton with him it is evident that he has
this great and needed reform constant
" in his mind. Considering that here
tofore no continued and firm effort
has been made, this determination Of
the President-elect to make this re-
form one of his first efforts, means
that & viii be accomplished"

Farmers Relief Bill

The most important action by the
house of Representatives during the
week was the passage Of the farmers
relief bill, which imposes a high
emergency tariff on more than twenty
agricultural products, the decline in
the price of which is attributed by
the farmers in part to competition
with importations. The measure was
passed by a vote of 1876 to sc, party
lines being broken. What the senate
win do with it is problematical. The
senate finance committee will take it
up after the holidays, and it may be
killed by prolonged discussion. The
commodities to which the new duties
would be applied are wheat. -four,
corn, beans, peanuts, potatoes, onions,
rice, lemons, cottonseed and soya
bean oils, cattle, sheep, lambs, NUT
ton and lamb, and wool and it's manu-
features.
