and mandates and added that his South
African delegation would not accept the
report otherwise. His amendment was
accepted.
The committee also accepted the prop
ostion to eliminate the word "exclu-
sive" from the second principle. which
declares that the assembly has no power
to reverse or modify a decision which
falls within the exclusive competence Of
the council. On the objection of the
Canadians, however, this principle was
reserved T.
The third and fourth principles. setting
forth the status of representatives sit
ting on the council and the assembly
and making provision for report from
the council to the assembly. were
adopted
In the morning discussion Hjalmar
Branting Of Sweden asked that Mr..
Doherty's (Canada) amendment elimi-
mating Article X. from the covenant OF
the league and that presented by the
Argentine delegation regarding the ad-
mission of all States be sent to COM
mittee without debate for study. and
that report on them be submitted TO
the next session Of the assembly. This
motion was adopted.
During the discussion Mr.. Doherty
said that while the Canadian delegation
felt that its amendment was one that
might well be discussed now, as the
opinion seemed to be that all amend
ments should be dealt with in the same
manner, the Canadian delegation would
not insist upon immediate consideration
of its proposition.
Honorio Pueyrrdon. head of Argen-
tina's delegation, said: 'To-day's deci-
sion of the assembly finally settles the
question for Argentina. / shall leave
for home the middle of the week. was
willing to consent to the postponement
of all Argentina's amendments except
those regarding the admission. Of all
States and the election of the four elec-
tive members Of the council, but the as
sembly has seen fit to resort to a techni-
cality of procedure in matter vital tc
the life of the league. / am sure Ameri-
can public opinion is with us in this
matter, and ! have already received in
dication of this in cablegram from
Chicago
Senior Pueyrredon intimated the with
drawal of Argentina from the assembly
might be followed shortly by formal
announcement of that country's inten-
ton to retire from the league itself.
Postponement of consideration OF
amendments TO the covenant of the
League of Nations until the next meet
ing' of the assembly means that the as
sembly at its present series of sittings
in Geneva does not intend again to take
up these amendments for consideration
| leaving them to be brought up at the
next gathering of the body in Geneva
This will be some time in 1921, perhaps

ENGLAND BLUFFING,
SAYS MRS. M'SWINEY
Brands Stories of Murder
Gangs in Ireland purely
British Propaganda

"orhe Irish people are calling Lloyd
Georges bluff" declared Mrs. Muriel
MacSwiney. widow of the Mayor OF
Cork, in an interview yesterday after
noon at the st. Regis. She referred to
the news that a compromise was ex-
pected between England and Ireland by
Christmas. THAT bluff is a bit Of
American slang I've learned" she added
quickly. with one Of her engaging smiles.
She is delighted with her aptitude In
picking up slang expressions.
"A false impression seems to exist In
this country as to the policing of Ire
land" continued the yound widow.
There is no policing as you understand
1t in America. The police in Ireland are
merely spies selected by the British.
Furthermore, the stories of murder gangs
operating in Ireland are purely British
propaganda. What the Irish people are
doing is protecting their country against
the Black and Tan murderers.'
Asked what the Irish wanted the Brit
ish Government to do, she replied Give
us our freedom, withdraw their troops
and drop the whole matter"
The next question dealt with Ireland's
attitude toward Great Britain in the
event the so-called Republic became enc
in fact and there should ensue ano.her
world war. Would Ireland join an en-
emy of Great Britain?" was asked
There is no reason to believe It
| would" she answered.
"What guarantees could be given that
Ireland would not array herself against
England"
president De Valera has already
given these guarantees" she replied.
The young widow autographed one of
her photographs and presented it to Mr..
Ham, proprietor of the St Regis. She
wrote in Gaelic, From Muriel, the wife
of MacSwiney."
During the morning the young Irish
visitor slipped away from the hotel and
went shopping with Miss Anna Ryan,
secretary to James O'Mara, member of
the Irish Parliament" One of the sales
women in Altman's recognized. Mrs
MacSwiney. and an impromptu recep-
ton ensued. Mrs. MacSwiney declared
that the saleswomen and shopgirls here
were far more courteous than the Lon
don girls, and that the New York de-
partment stores were superior to those
In London.
est. Patrick's Cathedral is the most
wonderful thing in your CITY," she ex-
claimed. Mrs. MacSwiney was to have
met Archbishop Hayes late IN the after
noon. but the time was changed to IL 80
this morning. She conferred with
Frank p. Walsh and Dudley Field Ma
lone until time to dress for dinner at
the house of MIR. and Mrs. Oswald Gar
rison Willard.
Mr. Willard entertained her at lunch
con at the Railroad Club. The other
1 guests were members of the editorial
staff of the Nation, of which he is edi-
tor. Afterward he took her to the edi-
tcrial rooms. where she chatted with the
employees.
After her conference to-day with the
Archbishop she will have luncheon with
Eamon de Valera, President of the
Irish Republic" at the Waldorf. and will
leave for Washington. d.. c.. at :2g
r. M. The recital of her story probably
! will take n day or two, and then sh,
may accept the invitations of Irish so
cieties to visit their cities and attend

SIX ARRESTED IN RAID
ON DUBLIN CITY HALL
Motion for Truce Up When
Police Enter.

DUBLIN, Dec. 6.--Auxiliary police
rallied the Dublin City Hall during a
meeting of the Corporation to-day and
arrested six members of that body.
The raid prevented the members Of
the Corporation from discussing a mo-
tion on the programme by Sir Andrew
Beattie calling for an Irish truce. When
the raid was over Sir Andrew asked
that the motion be taken up before ad-
journment, but this was refused.
Soldiers and auxiliaries quietly sur
rounded the City Hail. The unsuspect-
ing members of the corporation were
suddenly faced by officers who de-
nanded that the mace bearer bring
them the roll of members.
The officers then called the names OF
the men required. who proved to be
Michael Staines, Sim Fein member of
Parliament, and Councillors Lawiess
Clarke, Lawdor, Brennan and Lynch.

comment on the withdrawal of the Ar
gentine delegation from the assembly OF
the League of Nations.
The Ndcion says the position Of the
Argentine delegatiop-is impossible. "The
delegation was sent with a mysterious
mission whose object was to dazzle the
world" the newspaper asserts, "declar-
ing itself shereby the champion OF the
German disaster. II only succeeded. as
was logical. in making us participants in
this disaster. Thus. like the defeated
countries, we remain outside the league.
But while for them this situation is
a tragic result while for the United
States it is a complication of the Treaty
of Versailles, which ii is able to accept
or not as a conquering Power, while for
Russia it is question of principles dia-
metrically opposed. for us 1t constitutes
flight. II is worse than collapse; II is
ridiculous
"The country remains in an attitude
dangerously uncomfortable, responsible
ity for which the Government cannot
share with the people because II is the
result OF secret diplomacy. The time has
come to ask in the name of patriotism II
the Government is going to prefer Its
own interest to that of the nation, to its
good name before the world.
The Rdeon withholds Judgment and
says that the League of Nations cannot
be partial league, wherein lies it's de-
feet, and in order to make progress II
must be corrected
The PremsG also .withholds Judgment
until the Government defines its atti-
tude, but severely criticises the manner
in which the Governlpent proceeded IN
adhering to the league and in withdraw
ing it's delegation. The newspaper de-
clares the Government had not compre-
hended the league pact and sent the
Argentine delegation with the erroneous
idea that II could be present as spec
tator and that Argentina could appear
there, not as a member of the league
but merely to help establish It,
The Argentina, supporting the Gov
ernment, asks by what right the nations
signatory to the treaty expect all other
nations to follow them with closed
mouths" in decisions which they have
made unquestionably for their own
benefit.
