Massachusetts Claims

tPortland PreSs.l
We wish it We're possible for all
the people Of Maine, as we'll as the
entire country, to listen TO the ad-
dress Of Judge Frank F. Pride Of
Westbrook upon the part Maine has
played in the history OF the United
States. He approaches this most
interesting subject from an entirely
new angle and his arguments carry
conviction and give Maine people
additional reasons to feel proud of
their State.
Judge Pride's contention is that
Massachusetts takes altogether too
much credit for some things which
she is credited with having done and
with a complacency and snobbish-
ness inherently a part of the char
acter Of many native born residents
of Massachusetts she demands and
generally receives homage which is
not altogether her due.
Prior to 1920 Maine was a part Of
Massa chusetts and an important
part. Judge Pride has taken pains
to inquire into many Of the impor-
tant events with which Maine had to
do between the settlement at Ply
mouth 500 years ago and the time
this State sought and obtained her
separation, and his conclusions are
that in each one of the events which
had a marked influence upon the
settlement. development and crea-
ton Of this republic. Maine and her
people had, in almost every instance,
q great deal to do.
For example. it was help which
was obtained from Maine by the Pill
grim Fathers which kept the Ply
mouth colony from starvation. 1t
was Maine which bore the brunt Of
the Indian fighting and which SUI
fered the greatest hardships in the
French and Indian wars. II was

Referring to the Irish reservation
to the treaty Senator Edge next day
said:
1T is not surprising that the irrecon-
cilables smilingly favored the Irish
reservation. as they recognized that that
was the surest way to ditch" it for
ever. However. perhaps l am wrong
and I hope that l amin my interpre-
tation that the passing OF the Irish res
ervation was simply a political blum.
and that those who have insisted
through so many weary months chat
they wanted to .atify the treaty are
going to vote today to do so and show
the real sincerity Of their interest in
the future of the Irish. Certainly. the
Irish will not be much impressed with
the spectacle of Senators one day adopt
tors the next day refusing to vote for
it when it really means something. In
other words, for the reservation to be
effective this treaty must be ratified,
and then our representative in the
League of Nations, with the power and
force Of the United States back Of him,
takes part in the council OF the League
of Nations, committed to Irish indie
pendence."
This is Of q piece with the Sem
ate's performance in certain other
respects. The English will scarcely
be profoundly impressed by it. In
deed whatever impressions that may
be made we may well wish were less
profound.
