BY EDWARD W. PIcKARD.

Congress is on the job again, with
plenty of work to do and the prospect
of not getting n great deal {. it done
before March 4, with the exception of
appropriation legislation and the pos
sible passage of bills for the creation
of a budget and the restriction of
immigration. President-elect Harding.
who occupied his seat in the senate
for a day or two, urged upon his col
leagues the need of quick and nom
partisan work. and intimated that an
extra session would be called soon
after his Inauguration.
President Wilson was DESTROYS of
appearing in person before congress
to deliver his message, but was dis
suaded at the last minute by his ply
sicians and the document was read by
the clerks. In his opening generaliza-
lions Mr.. Wilson said autocracy was
ngain to the fore in Europe, and that
1t was up to the United States to
save democracy by giving an example
of its successful operation, enacting
and enforcing just laws and standing
for right and Justice as toward indi-
vidual nations" Aside from domestic
matters he made just two specific rec
concentrations. The first was that a
large loan be made to Armenia, the
money to be expended under the SUI
pervision OF an American commission.
Compliance of congress with this re-
quest is made somewhat doubtful by
recent developments in Armenia,
where the Russian Reds are nov In
almost complete control and ave set
up q soviet government. The Presi-
dent also advised that complete indie
pendence be granted at once to the
Philippines. This, too, will be opposed
by many congressman who do. not
agree with Mr.. Wilson that the people
OF the islands have succeeded in main
tanning a stable government. Prob
ably most of u lawmakers would be
glad to get rid of the Philippines, how
ever, II II were not for the proposition
that we should guarantee their indie
p~endence, a policy that likely would
involve vi In serious complications, II
not wars, in h not distant future.
The President recommended the
early adoption of a budget system, the
institution of rigid economy in gov
eminent expenditures. better care for
disabled soldiers. revision and simpli-
fcation OF the tax avs and protection
for the agricultural industry-an OF
which meets the approval of most of
the people.
The message made no mention of
the League Of Nations. but the predic-
ton was made in Washington hat Mr..
Wilson would lay the treaty and cove
nant before the senate again, I'M
changed. and would continue the fight
for ratification up to the moment of
his retirement from the White House.
and afterwnrd as n private citizen.
Another matter which he omitted from
his message was the restriction or
%stoppage Of immigration. This was
taken by some to mean that II con
gress passed q drastic act he would
veto II.
Senator Harding announced that he
would resign from the senate between

Affairs In Ireland continued to &C.
cupy much of the attention of the
English-speaking world. As the week
closed the prospects for a settlement,
according to Lloyd George, were much
better thar they appeared on the sur
face. This the premier said after he
had conferred with Mgr. Patrick
Clune, archbishop of Perth, who had
been acting as his intermediary and
consulting with Sim Fein leaders. 1t
was said the bishop had conveyed to
Lloyd George a message from Michael
Collins, commander of the Sim Fein
army, which presumably contained the
Irish terms for n settlement or at
least a truce. Father O'Flanagan of
Roscommon, acting president of Sim
Fein, also sent a message to the pre-
mier concerning a truce, and the cabi-
net, considering this, was reported to
have decided on a reply e%mbodying
these terms: mo amnesty, NJ repub-
lie, and a cessation from the present
campaign of outrage and murder"
Sir Horace Plunkett, chairman Of
the Dublin peace convention, sailed
for New York to appear before the
American committee of inquiry, and
before starting said: 81 see no hope
of a truce In Ireland nor n hope in
the overtures reported in the press.
There cannot be peace while there is
~frightfulness on both sides. In my
Judgment the British government is
b~lamable."
The American committee heard one
of Its star witnesses, Mrs. Terence
MacSwiney, widow of the lord mayor
of Cork, whose appearance before 1t
was very interesting though probably
her views on the Irish problem are
given an exaggerated value. She was
preceded by her sister-in-law, Miss
Mary MacSwlney, who told a long
story of the wrongs Of her country,
and freely admitted that in 1916 Ire
land turned to Germany for arms and
would have accepted from that nation
all the help it could get. This she JUS
tilted by the assertion that Ireland
was "at war with England" Because
OF that war she defended all the
killings of British policemen and sol
diers. while in the same breath she
denounced the killing of Irishmen by
the English.
The American committees delegates
named to go to Ireland for n first-hand
investigation cnnnot go. They OBJ
talned their passports, but the British
embassy In Washington refused to
wise them for the stated reason hat
"the proposed visit to British territory
is not agreeable to his majesty's gov
eminent"

Withdrawal from the League of Ma
lions assembly by the Argentine dele
cation caused a lot of talk, in Geneva
and elsewhere, but 1t didn't disrupt
the gathering by any means. Indeed,
Pueyrredon and his colleagues found
they had put themselves in a rather
ridiculous position and the chief re-
tired to Paris, disappointed but still
defiant. Their argument that proposed
amendments to the covenant should be
discussed and acted on at this session
was upheld by the Scandinavians and
certain others, but their action in quit
ting because they found themselves in
he minority on the question was not
approved by anyone, and was attacked
by some of the Buenos Aires papers.
Pueyrredon stated that his mission In
Paris was to consult with Senator Nc
Cormick of Illinois In the hope that
the United States and Argentina
would become the leaders of a move
ment to give to the world a substitute
for the present league.
Wednesdays session of the assem-
bly, was enllvened by a hot speech by
NO"Sh u Sdhduu III OBDoSl
ton to the plan of Hanotaux of
France to have three new o%rganiza-
lions set up. each with an annual con-
ference, to take care of finance, trans
p%ortation and health matters, and to
be supported financially by the league
as is the labor bureau. The labor bu-
reau's budget for the coming year is
100000 gold francs, and Mr.. Rowell
protested that nations like Canada
would not agree to be saddled with
the immense additional expense that
the three proposed commissions would
require. Nor could such nations af-
ford to send their best technicians
each year to the conference, he said,
and consequently the problem involved
would be handled exclusively by Euro
pean nations, which would not at all
suit Canada. "Why." he cried, do you
think we should have confidence In Eu-
ropean statesmen and leaders when II
was European policy, craftsmanship
and ambition that drenched the world
In blood?' Senator Millen of Australia
warmly supported Rowell, and Lord
Robert Cecil's compromise, that the
existing international health organi-
zatiOn continue, under league uper-
vision, and the other two be aban-
doned, was adopted.

Baltimore-At an executive board
meeting of the Maryland Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage, held at
the residence of the president. Mrs
Rufus M. Gibbs, on Friday, plans were
made for campaign during the COM
Ing months while the General Assem-
bly, Is in session. Qualification was
expressed over an account of conditions
in one of the counties, which was
given in a report from one of the coun-
ty chafrmen, who said that the feeling
is strongly against woman suffrage in
her district.
The question Of women taking a
stand against immoral plays was taken
up and it was decided that, since pub
lie morals are always in keeping with
public opinion, and since 1t is the WON
en- who set the standard, for. public
decency. in social life, and since they
do not need political power to exert
their influence along these important
lines, it was resolved that the atten-
ton of the membership be called to
the need for concerted action by all
bodies of women, and particularly re-
ligious bodies, in bringing about a con-
dftion of public opinion that will con-
denim the type of plays that are dis
integrating the moral fiber of our
youth.
