OF the endorsement OF Governor Sproul

'If I am not compelled to absent
myself from the Chicago convention
by personal business reasons which
demand my immediate attention ]
would vote for Governor Sproul.
II will, however, be represented al
Chicago by an excellent alternate
Judge James II. Reed OF Pittsburgh
who shares my views that the Re
publican party could not name g
better man than Governor Sproul foI
President.
The attempt 10 twist my enforced
absence from the Chicago conyen-

ROME, Nov. 1S-Heated debate,
during which Premier Giolitti defend
ed his political record and the policies
of his government preceded the vote
of confidence given the cabinet in the
Chamber of Deputies. A socialist
motion censuring the governments in
ternal policy was defeated 202 to S3.
Socialist deputies violently accused
the premier of being a reactionary
and supporter of the Nationalist fol-
lowers of Captain Gabrielle d'Annunzio
in their opposition to the Socialists.
The premier answered that his entire
past was a protest against such an
accusation.
Defends Policies.
"In 1898" he continued, II refused
to dissolve the Sicilian unions which
were the first serious socialist mani
festations in italy. and in 1901. when
l proclaimed the liberty to strike. all
conservatives considered me a revOlu-
tionary much more dangerous than
you socialists. Believing in the po-
litical, economic and social ascenden-
cy Of the proletariat l granted uni
versal suffrage even before the
Socialists asked for it. You yourselves,
Go not believe | am a reactionary."
He enumerated his fiscal measures,
none of which, he asserted, placed
burden upon workers but were direct
ed at the very wealthy people of
Italy The profiteers," a Socialist
deputy. Interrupted. "already have sent
their money abroad
True" replied the premier, but
they did SO before my advent to

Declares Press Free.
Signor Giolitti cOntended he had
suppressed every form of censorship.
and that in no country in the world
was the press more at liberty than in
Italy. He asked if any government
could have adopted a more impartial
attitude toward the Italian metal
workers.
"Relations between employers and
men," he declared. lis the most i'm
portant question before US. If we do
not succeed in conciliating their inter-
ests, the country will witness\ econ
omic phenomena of the gravest char
acter"
Referring to the accusation that he
had connived with the nationalists,
the premier asked the Socialists:

ialists and myself had the same rela.
tions with the Nationalists. | have
ordered the repression of all vio-
lence, regardless of which side TO
ments it. No one can prove there is a
freer country than Italy"
When the premier made this state
ment, Conservative and Catholic
deputies shouted: Russia" ironically,
toward the Socialist side of the
chamber.
There can be true liberty only
when all live within the law" declared
the premier. "Parliaments can
change laws, but as long as it exists,
government must secure respect
for them. We can meet on a common
ground for the maintenance of public
liberty and for assisting the proletar-
lat to rise, but to attain these ends
there must be an accord between
classes, and not a struggle between
them. After the war Italy might have
been compared to a patient who was
gravely ill. Only accord between US
can save the country"

Of the Rhineland districts, and de-

DR.. Simons, referring to the ALLEGATION

solution"
I'VE do not desire to enter the

ring to the meeting of the assembly
of the league at Geneva, unless there
is an intention, plainly indicated, to
receive us as equals. II would be
imprudent to force ourselves into a
society which contains people who de-
clare they will walk out in the event
certain other folks enter"
DR.. Fehrenbach, reiterating that the
peace of Versailles did not deserve
the designation of a peace, declared
Germany. nevertheless, would live up
to it and had already demonstrated
her determination by her work in
making coal deliveries and in dis
armament. Notwithstanding the fact
that our army now is shrunken to pro-
portions which would not suffice to
enable it to become master of internal
confusion" he declared. I'VE are going
forward in carrying out the provisions

FIRST HAND PICTURE
OF IRISH CONDITIONS
GIVEN COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. 1S-A
first hand picture of conditions in Ire
land, as viewed by advocates of an
Irish republic was given today to the
commission of the committee of 100
investigating the Irish question by
Denis Morgan, acting mayor of Phur-
les, Ireland, who has just arrived in
this country for the express purpose
of testifying before the commission
Mr.. Morgan described the killing Of
citizens of Phurles and nearby towns
by the constabulary and declared that
the net result Of the warfare in Ire
land was to kill all social and econo-
mic life.
The acting mayor of Phurles said
the constabulary had been succeeded
recently by soldiers who garrison all
towns and what are known as the
"black and tans" a khaki clad mill
tary force with black belts and tan
uniforms. Another auxiliary corps he
said is composed of former British
officers, somtimes in uniforms and
sometimes in plain clothes.
The witness said the auxiliary trav-
eled about in motor lorries "raiding
houses and streets"
"All this is the effort of the British
government to stamp out any move
for the Irish republic?" asked Senator
Walsh.
Yes, that's the case, said the wit
ess, who added that the British mill
airy activities undoubtedly would cease
II the move for Irish independence
were abandoned.
Mr.. Morgan vigorously denied that
the Irish Republic officers had aided
or abetted murder of British troops
or ordered any reprisals against them

Vera Cruz Agriculturists
Organize Against Land La.u
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The agri
culturists of the state at Vera Cruz
have organized a branch of the Ma
tional association started in Jalisco to
protect land owners from the operat
ing of article 27 of the Mexican consti,
tuition which they say is confiscatory
State laws enacted under article 27
provide for the appropriation of all
large land holdings and the distribu
ton of the land among the Poems. The
farmers object because the Poems can
not properly care for the developed
land and because payment for the por,
tions of estates appropriated must be
made in agrarian bonds which can not
be paid until the other debts of the
country are met. Advices received
here today state that branches of the
national organization also have been
formed in Michoacan, Colima, Durango
and Tepic.
