every facility was given the 1nvestl-
gators by Collector p. L. Peterson,
Solicitor Robert Bright and other OF
ficials. AS we understand it, all FUNDS
were found intact and nothing GRIM
inally wrong was found, though the
report was referred to the Grand Jury
by Judge Black. The delay in push
ing tax sales was criticised, and also
the method of the street supervisor IN
putting a lump bill in to Council. item
lied for each worker, instead of each
man swearing to his own bill n
having individual checks drawn.
The municipality of North Wild
wood is to be congratulated on the
selection of Robert Bright as city
solicitor, who succeeds the late }.
Fithian Tatem. His long years of de-
votion to his profession and the we'll
known integrity of his character fit him
in every way to adjust the affairs of
state. We extend to him Jul heartiest
congratulations on his accession to
the office and wish him every success.

ruruIig was supposed to be hitting at
the members of the agriculture bloc;
but he pleased them by recommending
the adoption of a cooperative market
ing system similar to that of Russia.
The President made it clear that he,
like President Wilson, would refuse
to carry out the injunction Of the
Jones act to abrogate commercial
treaties in order to help develop our
merchant marine, and said that soon
he would submit a better plan which
would contemplate no greater draft
on the public treasury.
nENOUNCING the shop representa-
~ ton plan and refusing the cut in
wages, the Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters' and Butcher Workmen's union
went on strike last week in the pack
ing plants of the country. The first
day saw some mob violence In several
cities, and on Wednesday the rioting
In Chicago reached serious proper
tions. The police and the strikers had
many battles and a number on both
sides were badly injured. A temporary
injunction against picketing was OBJ
tanned by the packers, but that did
not wholly stop the disorders.
The United States Supreme court
handed down an opinion holding that
picketing is Illegal, but also unfolding
the right of labor organizations to or
ganize workers in nonunion plants.

nEACE and amity between Great
L Britain and Ireland are In slght'
after MANY a Ions year of bitter en-
mity and intermittent fighting. just
as the outlook seemed darkest, Lloyu
George and the Sim Fem delegates ar
rived at an agreement that solved the
tangled problem and signed a treaty
which creates the Irish Free State as
a sister nation of the British empire
like Canada. Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa. It's constitution Is
TO be based on that of n anu
the representative of the crown In Ire
land is to be chosen in the same way
as the Canadian viceroy.
By clever juggling of words and
phrases the peace delegates evoiVeu
an oath of allegiance that the irish
we're willing to accept. 1t must De
k by every member Of the irish
parliament and is as follows:
81 do solemnly swear true faith ana
allegiance to the constitution OF the
Irish Free State as by law established
and that 1 will be faithful to his NAL
esty King George V, and his heirs
and successors by law, in virtue OF the
common citizenship of Ireland with
Great Britain and her adherence to
and membership of the group OF ma
lions forming the BRUSH coHinon-
wealth of nations"
Ireland is to have her W army and
coast defenses and to control her own
finances. She admits liability for a
share of the British debt, and Britain
retains the right to control certain
ports.
AS for Ulster, while speedily In
formed of the treaty, she is not even
asked to consent to it. The northern
counties are to be included in the
Irish Free State, with local autonomy,
but have a month to decide whether
they prefer their present status, and
during that time "the powers OF the
parliament and government of the
Irish Free State shall not be exercis-
able as respects northern Ireland" II
Ulster elects to retain her present
status. her boundary lines are to be
fixed by a commission of three.
At this writing Ulster has not acted
formally concerning the treaty, but 1t
is predicted it will approve it. All
Great Britain, except a very few OF
the most rabid Unionists, are enthusi-
~astically for the pact and the southern
Irish themselves seem fairly well sat
isfed and decidedly relieved. They
should be happy, for they gain practi-
cally everything they have asked ex-
cept actual separation from the Brit
ish empire. The treaty is yet to be &C
copied formally by the Irish parlia-
ment and the Dali Eireann and by the
British parliament, which has been
summoned to special session. "Presi-
dent' de Valera declares himself
against the agreement, but the real
rulers of Sim Fem are Arthur Griffith
and Michael Collins, both of whom
signed the pact gladly. Mr.. Griffith
said:
''These proposals give Ireland the
control of her own destinies and place
our future in our own hands. They
enable us to stand on our W feet
and to develop our own civilization
and national distinctiveness. They
constitute a regiment Of Irish liber-
ty after a struggle of centuries"

TINE first regular session of the Six
l. ty-seventh congress opened on De-
cember 5, and President Harding
promptly submitted the budget for the
fiscal veal 1923-the first national
budget in our history. 1t shows the
expenditures of the government dur
ing 1923 will be more thar half a BIZ
lion dollars less than during 1922, and
two billions less than during 1921. The
budget contemplates a total expendi-
ture of $4,0S1, 992, 793.
On Tuesday the President read his
message to congress in the presence
of nearly the entire membership of the
arms conference and many other dis
tinguished persons. 1t was rather
more startling in parts than people
had been led to expect from Mr.. Har-
ding and some Of his recommendations
already are the subjects of var con-
troversy. For instance, he advises the
establishment of tribunals for the adj
Indication of disputes between capital
and labor and to prevent the strike,
the lockout and the boycott. OF curse
this brought instant response from
Samuel Gompers, who characterized
the recommendation as a ~'reversion
to conditions of 400 years ago." and
asserted that the experience of the
Australasian countries and Kansas
with such courts proved them to be
utter failures.

less division in congress "%geograph-

nut of the armament conference in
" Washington came last week not
much that was definite, but a great
deal that was indicative of the full
success of the parley. True, Japan
was still Withholding her full assent
to the proposed naval ratio, but her
delegates were awaiting advices from
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1921-12-16

Tokyo and Baron Kato denied that
she was bargaining and predicted that
a fair adjustment would be reached.
Meanwhile the American delegates as
sured the Japanese that nothing was
being done by them to "inJure" japan
in the period of waiting. The most
encouraging report was that the Uni
ted States, Great Britain and Japan
were on the verge of making an agree
ment for the sterilization of peace In
the Pacific, and that the accord would
be made q%uadruple by The inclusion OF
France. The basis of this agreement
Is as follows:
1. Acceptance by the three great
naval powers of the Hughes plan for
reduction and limitation of navies.
2. Maintenance Of the status quo of
naval bases and Notifications In h
western Pacific.
8. Submission of any question of the
disturbance of the status quo or Otner
differences in regard to the situation
in the Pacific to a conference of the
powers participating in the agreement
with a view to reaching amicable set
Element by discussion.
The British have expressed salts
faction with the proposed plan, and
the Japanese diplomatic council for
mally approved it in Tokyo. When it
has been fully ratified by the other
three nations it will be submitted to
the United States senate. That that
body will ratify tits taken for granted,
provided it is not cast in the form OF
an alliance or entente. /,
Mutual concessions are making this
agreement possible. The American
delegates have entertained proposals
that each of the powers shall not pro-
ceed further with the terrifying of out
lying possessions in the Pacific. From
this they except only Hawaii.
1t is only fair to state that certain
of the Washington correspondents see
in this story of a q%uadruple agree
ment nothing but British propaganda,
actuated by the desire of the British
to retain the friendship and support
of both the United States and Japan,
anu liz IColALdllOI LhdL bhC L1i5AO
Japanese alliance is doomed. These
writer's hold that any such under
standing would be contrary to Ameri-
can interests and would be rejected by
the senate and the people.
Japanese and Chinese delegates are
not getting along so well as was
hoped in their discussion of the acu
alton of Shantung, and the latter may
yet insist that the question be placed
before the conference without prelim-
mary settlement. The Chinese feel
that they are getting the worst of
things In the conference, and one or
two important members of their dele
cation have resigned.
The conference committee on Far
East questions has pledged that the
nine powers 1t represents will respect
the neutrality Of China In future wars,
and has agreed on a wireless conven-
ton by which the various government
radio stations IN legation compounds
shall be used only for government
messages, except when ordinary
of ~telegraphic communication are in
terrupted.
