years the Celtic population of Ireland
has been reduced by emigration from
over 100000 to barely 100000 people.
The dilemma is not without parallel
in American history. The motives
which guided Andrew Jackson in dealing
with the Cherokee Indians in Georgia
in 1888 and the national Endorsement
United States in 1S45 are instances of
acknowledgment of the inevitable ma
ture of the expansion of dominant
races.
In determining on a present policy
it is necessary to have due regard to
future probabilities and, as far as pos
siblc, to avoid allowing what ought to
be to cloud the vision of what is. In
the case we are considering, whatever
ought to happen, it is hard to escape
the conclusion that the thing which,
in actual practice, is most likely ulti-
mately to come to pass, whatever the
conscious policy Of England, is the
more Or less complete elimination, by
economic processes, of the Celtic stock
in Ireland; and it is greatly to be
feared that adoption of the principle
of self-determination would amount
only to deferring the operation of the
economic law. But whatever is de-
cided upon for the present, it is vital
that the decision should be definite,
clear and unmistakable manner
Celtic aspiration
1t may be suggested as a temporary
cxpc dient: Why not grant to the
south and west of Ireland their own
government and allow the northeast
to remain in its present position under
the British government? The answer
to this is that the Celtic aspiration is
for nothing short of the whole island :;
nothing less will satisfy them; and
moreover, there is the very practical
consideration (Which, however, | do not
believe is the determining one in the
mind of an Irish patriot) that the
! 'ioA siiSdSl, dpdiI lIOIfi ilS ScUtlllleu I'd
value, produces as much taxable wealth
as the rest of Ireland put together. 1t
is hardly necessary to add that the
northeast is unwilling to have minor
ity represc cntation in a Dublin Parlia.
ment controlled by the greater num-
bers of the poorer south and west.
The writer does not, however. pre-.
sumo to offer any immediate and prac-
tlcal solution of the problem, but seeks
rather, to stimulate inquiry into the
fundamo ntal factors which have made
solution so difficult hitherto and te
present for consideration the ethnologi.
cal aspect of the situation Whether
1t would be to the GOOD of the world
that in time "Nordic' civilization
should GO under, and some form OF
IN Mediterranean" civilization, such as
Celtic or Latin, come to the tor, is s
matter Of abstract speculation with
which few "Nordics" will be likely t,
concern themselves.

YBILL READY
F0RCONGRESS
Redistribution Measure to
Be Introduced First Day
Of Session.

Representative Frederick r. Lehl-
bach. of New Jersey, chairman of
the House Committee on Reform in
the Civil Service, has completed the
drafting of his bill providing for
reclassification of civil service en-
ployes, and expects to introduce 1t
in the House on the first day OF
the coming session.
While the general average of sal
airy increases provided in the report
of the Congressional Commission on
Redistribution is maintained in
the Lehlbach bill, the latter measure
is simplified so that the entire bill
is contained in a few pages, whereas
the former was considered the
largest bill ever introduced in Con-
gress.
Lehlbach. in a statement yester-
day, indicated opposition to the
argument that reclassification legis-
lation should be delayed because
impending decreases in the cost of
living would leave the salaries of
government employees on a scafe
higher than that justified by living
expenses.
The compensation proposed for
the various positions in the re-
drafted schedule. he said. is still
somewhat below comfortable living
standards of the most progressive
private employers and the present
and anticipated decreases in the
cost of living, therefore, do not IN
validate the general average of
rates provided in the measure.
The Lehlbach bill vests in the
Secretary of the Treasury. who also
will be responsible for government
expenditures under the pending
budget bill. the authority for re-
view of classifications. but places
upon the head of each government
establishment the duty of allocating
all positions in conformity with the
classification schedule.

FERSREMEDY
FOR FARMERS
Resolution Offered by Five
Governors at Conference
May Save Crisis.
STATE RIGHTS URGED
Sproul, Of Pa, and Clement,
Of VT, View Encroach-
ment With Alarm.

HARRISBURG. Pa. Dec. 2.-Three
remedies for the Agricultural crisis
were contained in the resolution Of
fered by Gov. Bickell, OF North Caro-
yina. chairman OF the committee OF
nve appointed to Investigate the sit
uation and report to the governors
conference today. They are:
Three Remedies Suggested.
1. Complete mobilization OF the
nnancial and spiritual assets OF
every community. to keep good men
from being destroyed because they
eanpot meet their obligations.
2. Creation OF government
finance corporation that win enable
people of other lands to obtain
commodities they need and for which
they are not able to make imme-
diate payment.
,. Adoption by the Federal Re-
serve Board of liberal policy OF
renewals.
IF necessary, the Congress should
at once amend the Federal Reserve
law so as to temporarily supply ad-
ditional credit and AFFORD more time
In which to pay to debtors in dis
tress." the resolution read.
Growing U. 8. Power Icons.
The growing encroachment of the
FEDERAL government upon States
rights. the centralization of power
In Washington, and the increasing
number OF constitutional amend
ments curtailing the rights of citi-
xsns are viewed as menacing the
Foundation of Americas internal
government, according to Percival
w. Clement, governor of Vermont
Dificulties Of financing State gov
ernments under present conditions
were discussed by Gov. William c.
Sproul. OF Pennsylvania
The increased cost Of operation.
as well as increased demands for
state work; the high money rates
prevailing. and the invasion of the
Federal government for taxes in
fields formerly reserved to the
States. make the problem increas-
ingly dihicult. Sproul said.
The question OF granting allow
ances to soldiers and sailors who
took part in the world war is a
vital one before the States at this
time, in view of the attitude of the
Federal government toward the
bonus, he said.
He directed a broadside at the
encroachment of Federal. authority
upon purely State matters, and went
on record in favor of reduction in
national taxes.
Strives to Aid Farmer.
Gov. Parker, Louisiana, who ad-
dressed the conference on the sub
ject Of agriculture, and precipitated
the discussion of the gravity Of the
decision. said before the session
today the only way to deal with
the question is to encourage the
farmer.
Lack of efficiency in State admin
istration and a tendency to enact
too many reforms were named as
causes for complaint of the budget
system in State government by Gov.
John g. Townsend, jr, of Delaware.

SALES TAXLIEU
| |EXCESSPROFITS
Smoot Promises Substitute
Plan Cut Of 500 in Fed
eral Employees.

Al per cent tax on all sales to the
ultimate consumer will be proposed
as a substitute for the excess profits
tax. Senator Smoot. Of Utah. said
yesterday.
This is one of the devices which
according to Smoot, the Republicans
will use in revising the revenue
schedule. He said such a tax would
impose a lesser burden on the con-
sumer than the present excess profits
tax and 1t would produce consider
ably more revenue for the govern
ment. The tax would be made at
stated periods by retail dealers and
would apply only to such dealers as
sold directly to the public.
Other details of the financial pro-
gram. which will be taken up at the
special session after Harding s
inauguration, were outlined by
Smoot as follows:
Increased tariff % many articles
including beet sugar, which, smoot
said probably will carry a tarirf of
cents instead of the present rate
Of about / cent.
heVision OF the Income tax sched-
uie. probably increasing some rates.
Smoot said the normal tax rates
both as to individuals and corpora
lions cannot be lowered.
Reduction by at least so per cent
OF the force of government en-
pioyes both in the District of Co
lumbia and throughout the country.
Smoot said that the senate re-
vision of the government financial
plan is closely related to the re-
organization of governmental de-
partments Of. which he and other
Republican leaders are advocates.
1t will not be possible" said
Smoot, even with the creates,
economy. to reduce government ex-
penditures below s3,50o, 900. 900 for
the next twenty-five years. We
viii. however, / am confident, bring
the appropriation and other expen-
ditures down to that figure: We
certainly will not appropriate the
S5oo,oo0.0oo for which we have re-
ceived estimates. for IL we did ap-
propriate any such sum IL would
be impossible to raise it,"
