Washington. June o.-Constantly
increasing difficulties in financing
the needs of the government were
indicated tonight by announcement
by Secretary of the Treasury Hous-
ton that the next issue of treasury
certificates will bear interest of 5M
per cent and E per cent. This is the
highest rate yet paid by the govern
ment. Last months issue of GER
tihcates bore interest at the rate of
5H per cent, which was the record
figure up to that time. There has
been steady advance from a rate
of 4A per cent. -..
In letter sent to bankers
throughout the country urging their
cooperation in obtaining the widest
possible distribution of the new is
sue of certificates among investors
Secretary Houston explains that
treasury certificates to the amount of
nearly $l,0O0,000,000 will mature on
or before July Is. The secretary
said that while the greater part of
these are provided for by the income
profits tax insta1lment payable in
June, it would be necessary to dis
pose of treasury certificates totaling
approximately S4O0,000,OO0 to refund
the balance and provide for current
requirements up to that sale.
The new certificates are issued i'll
two series, both dated June5, one Of
them bearing interest at the rate Of
sA per cent and maturing January
3, 1921, and the other bearing in
terest at per cent and maturing
June IS, 1921.
In his letter to bankers Secretary
Houston said that during the first
quarter of the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1920, there was a de hLit of
about $770,0Oo,0OO; in the second
quarter there was a surplus of over
$500, ,000 Zoo and the present quartz,
should also show a surplus.

Tribune Omaha bee Leased wir,


Chicago, June 9.-Storm clouds of
revolt in the republican party were
dark and threatening tonight while
the committee on resolutions was
fighting desperately to bring about
harmony in the league of nations is-
sue.
At late hour a harmony plank
framed by the subcommittee on
platform had not been accepted by
the ratification faction of the con-
vention led by former Senator Muir
ray Crane of Massachusetts,. and
there were open threats of splitting
the party wide open, with the pros
pect of defiant bolt by Senator
Hiram Johnson of California, the
irreconcilable candidate for presi-
dent, taking with him Senator Borah
of Idaho, who boldly declared that
he would denounce the republican
platform every time he addressed
an American audience if the con-
vention should adopt a plank for
ratification of the treaty and league
of nations with reservations.
Would Mean Third Party.
1t was asserted by party leaders
who gathered in excited groups
about the lobby of the Congress ho-
tel while the platform committee
was engaged in its desperate effort
70 stem the tide of rebellion that a
bolt from Johnson and Borah In
evitably would mean the formation
OF third party and an alliance of
Johnson and w. Randolph Hearst
who has been advocating such
break for month. In fact it has been
stated that plans for formation of
a third party have been long under
consideration in anticipation of the
break which is now threatening.
Just how dangerous was the sit
uation when the platform subcom-
mittee resumed its task late tonight
was clearly indicated when Senator
Watson of Indiana, chairman of the
subcommittee, reported that he had
been unable to get endorsement of
the ratification group led by for
mer Senator Crane to a compromise
plank which the Johnson Borah
faction had agreed to accept.
Agree to Plank.
Senator Borah announced late IN
the afternoon that the irreconciI-
ables would agree to a plank con-
demning the Wilson league of ma
tions, commenting the republican
senators for rejecting it, urging ar
association of nations and estab-
lishment of an international court.

"Where's Jim Dahlman?"

1t was a former secretary of the
treasury, administrator of railroads,
director of Liberty loan drives and
holder of innumerable other federal
positions speaking.
William Gibbs McAdoo heir-ap-
parent to the throne, of Woodrow
Wilson l, spake thus as he stepped
from the eastbound Overland Lin
tied of the Union Pacific last night
at the Union station. And Mr.. Nc
Adoo was really inquiring for a
friend
"Jim' was not among those pres
ent to greet the McAdoos, however.
Perhaps he's chasing some bootleg
gers" Mr.. McAdoo remarked,
Mr.. McAdoo and his wife, young
est daughter of President Wilson,
spent exactly 80 minutes in the city
on their way to New York from a
vacation in the southwest. Four
weeks ago they arrived at Colorado
Springs and began a motor trip to
California The trip by automobile
was abandoned at Santa Fe, N. NJ,
Mr.. McAdoo said, because of wash
outs on the road They proceeded
to Los Angeles by rail and resumed
their motor trip up the coast.
Mr.. McAdoo declined positively
to make any prediction concerning
the outcome of the present conven-
ton at Chicago. "I'll stay over
there day, providing I can get a
seat at the Coliseum" he confded
He also refused any comment con-
corning the coming convention of
democrats at San Francisco, in spite
of the declaration of a Kansas City
editor that he would submit the
name of McAdoo at that gathering.

The bear, which is wanted by the

would Withdraw if TIE question was
brought before the convt tntion FOR

1--WE have our own opinions en-
the irish," said a Canadian dele
gate, and while they may or may
not agree with the wording of the
resolution the convention of the
American Federation of Labor is no
place 20 discuss such topic, es-
pcc:ally on British soil.
The sentiment was toncurrel in
bv several of the 80 del: gates from
tie dominion. Some of them, how
ever, are reported to favor the
Irish resolution.
Sim Feiners Active.
One of the leading Montreal news
papers tonight declared Sinr Fem
ers were active and that the con-
vention would be thrown into a
trlmoil," by the Canadian delega-
ton if the Irish question was to
be taken up. The paper stated it
would BE surprising if President
Samuel Gompers let it come before
the convention.
The resolution IN question claims
the Irish republic already has been
established" aad that the British
government, through its troops, is
seeking to destroy It. 1t asks the
convention to rcaffirn, its endorse
merits of the Irish republic under
demand that the Military forces OF
occupation in Ireland, be withdrawn
from that county.
The resolution further implores
that the Irish people be allowed to
guide their own destinies as pro-
claimed by the president OF the
United States. "the same as all other
nations recently given fredom,' and
outlined in his Ia points, and agreed
to by the British government and
its allies in the world war

Frank P. Walsh, one of the lead
ers of the Irish republican move
ment, is expected here Friday night
and an attempt may be made to have
him address the convention.
One of the startling resolutions
referred to the resolutions COM
mittee today calls for the socializa-
ton of the banking and credit agen-
cies of the United States. so that
the collective deposits of the people
shall be used for the benefit of the
people"
Banking, like transportation,
should be impressed with the public
trust" the resolution added. ut
should be made a public utility, sub
ject to control by the national gov
crnment and by the states to the
end that the credit resources of the
nation shall be used for productive
pourposes."
This resolution was presented by

1t IS rather amusing to see old
advocates Of suffrage losing their
perspective and their tempers be-
cause the women of America are
showing no Indication Of a great
r'oral uprising IN behalf of the vii
son loague as more or less upheld bv
the Very practical Mr.. Cox.
This particular crouch will pass
and needs little attention. The point
c view, however, which condemns
women for uniting with the old
parties and failing to clean the po-
litical house from garret to cellar
forthwith is common enough and in
sistcnt enough to deserve an answer.
Those who look for any such
miracle are bound to be disappointed
Such hope is built upon a totally

The MacSwiney Tragedy

The tragic end Of Mayor Mac
Swinoy has stirred sympathy and
pity in every heart. There can be
no question of The sincerity Of his
motives-of the lofty altruism, the
devoted, religious faith in what he
believed to be his cause that sus-
tanned him to the last hour.
On the other hand there can be no
fair-minded condemnation Of the
British government for its course in
refusing to set MacSwiney free. In
less England was to withdraw uncon-
ditionally from Ireland. it could not
make farce of its legal process.
1t could not yield Its lawful iudc-
mcnt to Tho viii of one man bent
upon solf-destruction. ENGLAND has
sins apleniy to answer for in hc,.
treatment Of Ireland but this is
plainly not one MacSwiney's death
rust be regarded as a clear case Of
self-martyrdom-as much as if he
had opened his own veins.
The distinction does not reflect
upon MacSwiney's motives or his
hcroism; it is important only as a
matter of passing fairness to the
British government. 1t leaves the
effect of the tragedy upon the Irish
people, upon the world at large, as
poignant as ever. For the proof Of
MacSwiney's devotion to his ma
tional faith is equally great, however
complete his own responsibility.
Will the effect of the tragedy aid
or hinder in the solution of Ireland's
difficult problem? 1t is too soon to
tell. But 1t is hard to see how the
fresh wave of bitterness sweeping
over Ireland can fail to delay rather
than advance that compromise which
alone seems to offer possibility of
peace. Not in more emotion but in
less emotion on both sides does it
seem, at this distance, that hope of
settlement lies. The difficulties of

exactly as every other influence for

through the party system, the only
practicable means of democratic gov

The Tribune has it's own concep-
tlon Of the reasons why the women
of America have refused to be stam-
peded behind the "idealism" of
Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Cox.
But that is n passing episode. We
think that in most communities there
Is already visible a revivifying of

rates below cost, shippers thus
getting a subsidy at the tax
payers expense. Secretary Baker
has ambitions, apparently, to con-
duct a shipping business of his own
in competition with the Shipping
Board and it's lessees. Despite the
plain prohibition of the law author
'zing him to carry passengers and
cargo in transports, he made raGs
at less than private shipping can
make. Of course, this means to
drive our ordinary shipping from
the seas. His activities clash with
the plans of the Shipping> Board,
whose first aim is to establish COM
mercial routes and to keep the YES
sells using them permanently and
proftably employed.
Competition between two govern
ment agencies cannot but result in
discord and confusion. If the trans
ports haven't enough army business
to occupy them, their sailings should
be reduced. Perhaps the acquisition
of the five Hobokcn piers is part of
a scheme to keep the army's sea fleet
up to its present strength by annex
ing commercial business sufficient to
maintain it.
