All Resources i'm Erin
Lord Chancellor Asserts Govern.
ment Is Determined to Quell
Secession CAMPAIGN

=, LONDON, May l9--The governments
policy, whether the struggle be short
or long, would be to employ the whole
available forces and. resources of the
kingdom to restore law and order in
Ireland, Baron Birkenhead, the Lord
Chancellor, announced in the House of
Lords to-day. 1t would be the aim of
the government in adopting this policy,
he said to render utterly impossible
the existing campaign aiming at seces-
sion.
Considerable military reinforcements
already have been sent to Ireland, the
Lord Chancellor said. and more would
be sent as required. He was speaking
with authority, and on behalf of the
rest of his colleagues, he declared,
when he said that if the existing mill
tary forces were insufficient the gov
ernment would hesitate as little to ask
the country for more as it hesitated in
the late war.
The only notable. fc eure of the
debate in the House of Commons on
the Home Rule bill to-day. was another
declaration from Sir Edward Carson,
Ulster Unionist leader, that the bill
as framed was going to mean the
separation of Ireland from England
and that the government would be
powerless to prevent the separation

House to Pass Knox Peace Plan
Tomorrow; Veto Is Expected

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The Knox
peace resolution, repeating the declara-
tions of war with Germany and Aus
tria, ending wartime legislation and
protecting the rights Of the United
States under the terms of the armistice
and peace negotiations, will be passed
by the House of Representatives Friday
and sent to President Wilson.
Republican leaders in Congress fully
expect that the President will veto it
and that he will send the Versailles
Treaty back to the Senate, where it
twice failed of ratification, along with
his veto message. Secretary of State
Colby, Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
and others close to the President have
warned Congress that this was the
Presidents intention, and the Republ-
can leaders said to-day they will be
surprised if he does not follow that
course.
No effort will be made to pass the
resolution over the Presidents veto, ac-
cording to present plans. Republicans
in the Senate and House, who have
polled Congress, said they see no pos
sbiity of securing the two-thirds vote
that would be necessary.
If the Versailles Treaty is sent back
to the Senate it will be sent to the
Foreign Relations Committee, where

Bank Won't Finance
Automobile Buying

ATLANTA, May 19.-M. B.
Wellborn, governor Of the Federal
Reserve Bank, of Atlanta, de-
clared to-day the resources of the
bank of this district should not
be used to finance the purchase
of strictly pleasure or passenger
automobiles. In a message sent
to the National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce at Washington,
Mr.. Wellborn said:
"In these times it is necessary
to control credit and unless we
take firm stand the more nee
essary demands of production and
distribution will be jeopardized
by tying up our funds in redis-
counts that tend to encourage un-
usual extravaganza"

Merchants Md0rse
Price Reductions
Overwhelming Rush Of
Customers MarksWhOJe-
sale Siashing Of Costs

A tour of New York stores ycster
day revealed that merchants generally
are in sympathy with the endeavor to
bring down the cost of living by cut
ting prices. Cuts of from 20 TO SO per
cent were advertised in most of the
stores visited.
Everywhere the immediate resul.
was an overwhelming rush to buy.
Customers thronged every store whar.
goods were on sale at reduced prices
The most marked reductions were in
lines in which the storekeepers we're
overstocked, the original high prices
having curtailed the demand.
Siackening IN production was the
principal cause of the high prices Of
recent months, most dealers declared.
adding that they thought those prices
constituted high water mark which
would not be reached again, whether
, the present radical cuts proved per
manent or not AS soon as produc-
ton was speeded up, they said, prices
would decrease
Two Reasons Ascribed
Two main reasons are ascribed for
the new price era. First, the public
takes great share of credit for driving
down prices by silent campaign Of
frugality which has caused people 10
do without rather than pay abnormallv.
Second, another quiet campaign by
banks-in line with the instructions OF
the Federal Reserve Board to withhold
credit generally and drasticalIy curtail
loans which would allow dealers to re
stock without first disposing of surplus
goods. In accordance with this pro
gram dealers are said to be facing IN q
necessity of realizing cash on the;r any my
plus stocks.
The more luxurious articles Of ue,,
were cut heaviest.

credit for beginning price reduc.ians
