BE SHOWN MACSWEENEY

LONDON, Sept. appeal in be-
half o. Torrance Macsweeney will not
be recognized by the British govern
ment, the chief secretary for Ireland
intimated in an interview with the
London Times at Lucerne today He
also indicated the government would
unswervingly adhere to its Irish
policy. "None of the mercy which
some seek to invoke for the Lord
Mayor said the Chief Secretary,
was shown the so policemen who
have lost their lives in Ireland. The
present lawlessncss is the work OF
d small body of men who are striving
by carefully planned anarchy to i'm
pose secession from the British
Empire on 80 per cent of the people
Of Ireland who do not want to Sc
cede."

Several boards of civil authority
have asked me if women have the
right to vote at the coming Septcm-
Der primaries without legislation on
that subject While there was no
question in my mind that women pos
scssing the necessary statutory quail
ifications had that right, | deemed it
wise to withhold my opinion until
had obtained the opinion of the At
tolney General of Vermont. | have
conferred with the Attorney Gener-
al on this matter and he gives the
opinion that women who can quail
fy are entitled to vote at the prima-
rics and at the elections without fur
ther legislation

You May Now Do Business With Russians

If trade is actually resumed with
Russia, it apparently will have to be
conducted through the cooperative
societies I'm the soviet nation. These
societies. which have q membership OF
20000.OO0. furnish the only known
medium for the resumption of trade
between the United States and the
territory controlled by the Moscow
government.
Whether the soviet authorities are
willing 10 have the co-Operatives car
ry on trade with the United States
and other nations which have not ex-
tended any form of political recogni-
ton TO the Lenin and TrotZky regime
remains to be disclosed.
So far as the United States is con-
cerned. all restrictions on trade have
been lifted except as TO articles sus-
ceptible of immediate use for war pur-
poses. If Americans have anything
they desire 10 ship 10 Russia, they are
free 10 do so with this one limitation.
while Russians may ship out anything
Americans will take.
The Russian cooperative societies
stand as the only commercial and in
dustrial machinery left intact amid
general economic DISCRIMINATION and
chaos
