BY JACK ROYLE.
lAtssastisssi News Service.


MARION, Ohio, Dec. 1.-THE AZ
fairs of soviet Russia took precedence
over other International questions In
Senator Harding's conferences today.
Col. Raymond Robins. OF Chicago.
beaded the list Of men scheduled to
confer with the President elect before
the day was over. -i
VISITOR TO RUSSIA
Colonel Robins was Chief OF the
American commission which went To
Russia In 1915. and he is thoroughly
conversapt with the start Of the So
Wet movement. s
He was able. II Is said, to lay be-
fore Senator Harding not only an ac-
cuTate outline OF the personalities
and policies of the Soviet leaders, but
an authoritative opinion as to the pos
sibilities and aspirations Of the great
mass OF Russian peasants.
1t became known today that Sena-
tor Harding has decided to appoipt
commission to make a complete
survey of the various depar tments OF
the Government. This body he plans
to have investigate and make recon-
mendations with regard to the cur
tailment or elimination of bureaus or
divisions found to be unnecessary. IL
will also advise In what degree work
ing forces and expenditures In re-
naming departments may be de-
creased.
The plan 1T was said. was dcvei-
oped to meet pledges made by the
President-elect during the campaign
for economy in running the Govern
ment. 1t is understood Senator HARD
ing will ask each of the men to
whom he tenders Cabinet positions
to follow the recommendations or
the efficiency commission.
The personnel of the commission
is not determined. 1t will lprobabty
include some of the most prominent
engineers, executives and managers
in the United States. Charles M.
Schwab. James B. Forgan, Chicago
banker; Samuel Vauclain. of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, and 9th
ers are mentioned as possible ap-
pointees. ,..
Renewed speculations was aroused
today by the declaration of Senator
Harding that, while he did not care
to discuss the plan made public by
Col. George Harvey for an associa-
ton of nations, pledged to ref
erendum on war. ''it was big thing
Senator Harding made it plain tho
proposal should not be regarded rs
the plan Of Col Harvey only. He
said Harvey simply happened to be
instrumental in making it public.
This statement led to speculation
here as to whether the plan might
or might not be designated as the
tentative plan Of the President-elect
himself 80
Senator Harding. however, declined
any comment touching on the sub
ject, except to reiterate that the con-
ference had been very helpful and
that the finding of q middle ground
in International affairs did not seem
to be 30 difficult as many people
supposed.
Senator Harding will make a brief
address here tonight at the meeting
of the Ohio conference on child con-
servation.

replied that there was mo discrimi-

and Protestant faith in the educa-
tional system and that children of
both sects were taught in the Same
schools"
This resulted, she stated. in the
establishment of about 100 banks
by the Sim Feiners for the use OF
Irishmen.
Religious questions did not enter
into the labor unions, she said.
Labor parties were organized with
both Catholics and Professionals as
members All entrants, however.
were asked whether they were for
the Sim Fein or the Unionist cause.
II they replied Sim Fein" all the
Unionists left the hall, she explained.
II the reply was "Unionists" the
Sim Feiners silently arose and
filed out. She emphasized the fact
that religious questions had no
bearing on labor issues.
"The only place where ! found

said, was in Ulster. but here feel

on the ground that they were being
used for scditious purposes"
And 1t would be Seditious," she
added, from q British point of view
to do anything that would interfere
with the plan to destroy the Irish
nation"
NO APDEAL TO PASSION.
A feature of Miss McSwiney's- ad-
dress was that she only mentioned
the name of her martyred brother
once. and then only incidentally in
the course of her review Of the Re-
publican movement in Ireland and its
results. At the outset of her talk
she announced she would try to avoid
any appeal to passion or prejudice
and tell only the truth and that
with eXaggeration.
But / cannot tell the whole truth"
she declared, "for that would take not
one evening but many days to detail"
Miss McSwiney explained that she
and her sistcr-in-law, the widow of
the martyred Lord Mayor, when they
prepared to leave Ireland for this
country last month had booked re-
turn passage from New York for to-
day. expecting only to testify before
the American Commission on Condtt-
ions in Ireland that is sitting here.
But since arriving in this coun-
try" she said, II have found so much
ignorance as to true conditions IN
Ireland and also so much sincere
desire to learn the truth that ! have
postponed my departure for one
month to accept invitations to ad-
dress gatherings of Americans in this
and other cities"
CONGRESSMAN Anthony ]. Griffin, of
New York, who presided, introduced
as speakers beside Miss McSwiney.
Congressman William ]. Burke, of
Pennsylvania, Isaac r. Sherwood. of
Ohio, and jerome +. Donovan. of
New York.
Congressman Burke read a -csolu-
ton he has introduced in Congress
protesting against the burning and
looting of Cork and other outrages
by the British forces in Ireland. In
introducing him, Congressman Grif-
fin said his resolution was an answer
to Sir Hamar Greenwood's recent
declaration in the House Of Commons
that he had received no protest of the
actions of the British forces from
any country except Ireland.
