Senator France at
Riga and Expects to
Enter Russia To-day
Foresees No Complications
Over Recently Granted
Permission and Will Go
Direct to Soviet Capital

RIGA, June 20 (By The Associated
Press) ).-Senator Joseph 1. France, C
Maryland, who is on the way to Soviet
Russia to investigate the possibility
Of trade relations between Russia and
the United States, arrived here to-day.
Unless complications arise which he
does not expect, Senator France hopes
to leave Riga for Moscow tomorrow.
His permit to stay in Russia, recently
granted him, is understood to extend to
July %. For the benefit of Soviet dip
lomats and couriers luxurious salon and
sleeping cars are operated direct from
Riga to Moscow, and privileges for
their use generally are extended to i'm
portant guests.
Several weeks ago Maxim Litvinoff,
chief of the Soviet legations abroad,
when in Riga expressed opposition to
Senator Frances entry into Russia.
Since that time pressure has been
brought on the Moscow administra-
tion by Leonid Krassin, Soviet Minister
of Commerce and Trade, and other
Soviet officials abroad, urging on M
Tchitcherin, the Soviet Foreign Min
lister, and Nikolai Lenine, Soviet Pre-
mier, that it would be folly to refuse
admittance to the American Senator
while permitting trade promoter such
as Washington B. Vanderlip to enter
the country.
Senator Frances permission to enter
Russia was surrounded with number
of restrictions. He was refused the
privilege of taking his own interpreter
and was informed that under no cir
cumstances would he be admitted if he
sought to discuss the case of American
prisoners in Russia, but must confine
his visit to the question of trade rela-
tions. Permission to enter also was
refused Senator French's secretary, Mr.
Watson. The Senator brought large

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The Ship
ping Board now has before it plan to
place the division of operations in the
hands of five men at salaries of $4,000
year each, instead Of continuing the
system of a single director.
1t was also announced here to-day
that Robert H. Montgomery, an ac-
countant Of New York, had been chosen
to make a complete inventory of the
Shipping Boards property, whose value
is now unknown.
To Vice Chairman T. V. O'Connor, of
the board, has been, allotted all matters
affecting labor questions in the appor-
tionment of the detail work among the
commissioners. Admiral William S.
Benson has been assigned to approve
all matters involving transfer of reg

given. The plan is temporary until the
reorganization of the board is complete.
j. c. jenkins, of the industrial rela-
tions division, is in New York to con-
fer with the American Masters and
Pilots Association in regard TO a new

which the members are operating ex-
pires August l and the board desires
to sound them out on what sort of an
agreement, in line with the boards
policy OF reduction in wages, can be
reached.
The hopes of the board in putting
into effect new methods of operation
will be explained to the National Fed
Grafton of Millers in session in Chi
cago by Admiral Benson, who departed

Jersey Disclaims Raid
On New York Motorists
Speeding and Other Violations
of Law Responsible for
Arrests at Kearny

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Bu-
reau will not resort to wholesale ar
rests of New York motorists in reprisal
for what it considers the initial viola
ton Of the reciprocity agreement be-
tween the two states.
This announcement was made yester-
day by the State Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles for New Jersey in Trenton. In
Albany, members of the New York
Motor Vehicle Bureau refused to dis
:cuss the impending clash over interstate
motor regulations, beyond announcing
that the matter was receiving the closest
consideration. Secretary Of State Lyons
is endeavoring to discover if the reci-
procity agreement was violated at
Kearny, N J.,l last Sunday when nine
teen New York motorists were arrested.
These arrests, Commissioner Dill of
New Jersey contends, cannot be con-
sidered in the light, of violations of
the understanding between the two
states or as reprisais- The New York
drivers, he explained, were detained
either for speeding or for violation Of
some regulations which would have
made them subject to. arrest in New
York.

Initiators OF Irish Peace
Parley Confident Of Meetine
Government Intends Giving Rebel Leaders Every
Opportunity to Confer; All Sides Anxious for
Truce; Smuts Plan Has Hopeful Outlook

there has been notable change of
sentiment recently, Winston Churchill's
speech before the English-Speaking
Union being indicative of more con-
ciliatory attitude on the part of mem
bers Of the Cabinet Several explana-
tions have been advanced, among them
being the voluntary retirement of Sir
Edward Carson. the influence of the
dominion premicrs, notably SHUTS,
Meighen and Massey, and, lastly, the
Sims episode and its reaction.
Without attempting to investigate
too closely the complications of fiscal
autonomy for Ireland, it can be said
that the present scheme provides that
the North and South Ireland Legislative
bodies shall bear the same relation to
each other as do Natal and Cape Col
ony, in Africa, with the important ex-
ception that neither has the right to
vote one cent for naval expenditures
England maintains the right to control
her naval stations and dockyards in
Ireland.
Knows Workings of Plan
General SHUTS knows as no other
man knows the internal workings of
the plan in Africa, where the situation
is not dissimilar to that of Ireland
Under this plan there is nothing to
prevent Ulster and the South Of Ireland
uniting eventually, or the two colonies
returning to "organic fiscal union with
Great Britain" to use the words Of its
author.
At the beginning there would un-
doubtedly be a tariff barrier between
the North and South, just as there is
one between the United States and
Canada, and, similarly, customs house,
would collect duties on goods exchanged
between England and Ireland.
In England the question Of defense
is always discussed wherever the sub
ject of Ireland arises. The British
government certainly would insist on
it's right to maintain imperial forces
in ireland, just as the Allies maintain
an army on the Rhine, but as soon as
passions had cooled control would pass
to the police forces of the two Irish
governments.
Sponsors of this scheme do not claim
it to be solution of the Irish prob
lem, but they do hold that it's accep-
tance would bring immediate peace to
Ireland, improve British foreign rela-
tons and create favorable atmos-
phere in which future generations
could work. Their plan undoubtedly
would receive the support of the House
of Commons, Liberals and Labor in
Guided. 1t would meet some opposition
in Parliament, but the majority would
support it.
If De Valera had free hand, it is
believed he would gladly enter nego-
tiations with this scheme as a basis
His power is now being put to the test

P1.erlliers Indorse
League of Nations
General Snl51ts Praises the
III. S. Senate for Resolu-
9tion for Disarmament;
Isolation Is Called Ended

LONDON, June 29.-Tne Premiers of
the British dominions and representa-
tives of India voiced their approval
League of Nations at banquet given
in their honor tonight by the League
of Nations Union.
The Canadian Premier, Arthur
Meighen, testified to the undiminished
confidence in the league in Canada,
where it was realized that, though i'm
perfect, it was a living and growing
organism needing the support of ali
peoples for success.
General Jan Christian Smuts, the
South African Premier, was the recipi-
ent of prolonged applause from five
hundred present when he said that he
replied to all critics, what is your
substitute for the league?" The sooner
all nations, including former enemies,
were admitted to the league, he added,
the better for the world.
General SHUTS thought that the
great nations were not paying sufficient
attention to the league. They were in
stead devoting themselves to the Su-
preme Council, which, as war or
ganization, ought to be dead. He point
ed out that, although the United States
had not entered the league, the United
oLaCeS SENATE was Che only govern
mental body in the world which had
passed unanimous resolution for dis
armament.
General SHUTS added that the ques.
tlon seemed to be one which might
serve as a bridge whereby the United
States could pass from position OF
world isolation to one of full coopera-
tion with all nations.
The guests included Viscount Grey
A j. Balfour, former Premier Asquitf
and Lord Robert Cecil. Viscount Grey
expressed great qualification that
although the United States had no
joined the league, the section of people
II America most opposed to the league
was the section taking the most prom
inent part in urging the limitation o.
armaments, and since that was one Of
the great objects of the league he re-
marked, "We shall find ourselves in co

side and good scattering on the mi
nority side rose to their feet and
cheered until the hail echoed Both
sides showed signs of being impatient
to reach decision on the amendment
and there came cries of "vote! Vote!"
Despite the demands for an imme-
diate ballot MIR. Mondell addressed the
House for fifteen minutes, part of
which time was taken with the reading
of the Presidents letter.
Mr.. Mondell reviewed the history of
the appropriation bill and declared that
the Willingness of the Senate to yield
on SO per cent of their additional ap-
preparations and 90 per cent cf their
ing to accept the Borah amendment.
This statement brought another round
of cheers.
"This bill went to the Senate after it
first. passed the House, and there about
$e0,0o0,000 was added, in addition to
much new legislation" said Mr.. Mon
dell. "If the bill passes finally now
the House will have saved $SS,000, 900
of this additional money.
"As niatter of fact, of the $SS.000,-
900 placed in the bill in the Senate the
House has receded only on S6,000,000.
There remains but one question in con-
Borah amendment is unwise-that it is
too narrow and restricted--and l am
irclined to snare their view. But, after
all, ii is not a question of whether we
should reduce only the naval establish
ments of the world
Suppose, for the sake of argument,
that the House should substitute for
the Borah amendment the broader pro-
visions of the Porter resolution. 1t
would go to the Senate on the last day
of the fiscal year and one persistent
gentleman there could hold it up in
definitely, SO l doubt if it is wise for
us to haggle over this question. In
order to pass this bill | for one am
willing to surrender on this point"
Minority Leader Garrett said the mi
nority was of the opinion that under the
present legislative situation the House
should concur in the Borah amend
ment
while this amendment deals only
with the naval establishments the at
titude of this body has been made
clear upon the entire subject of dis
armament" said he. "When the House
voted to reduce the army to 900 its
attitude was clearly shown on reduc-
tion of land forces"
sit is gratifying that at the hour of
this vote the President has at last
spoken to the Congress on this sub
ject," Mr.. Garrett continued. During
the last six weeks this question has
been discussed from one end of the
country to the other. Congress made
plain its attitude long ago and it is
therefore lastly more important that
Congress should know the attitude of
the President than that he should re-
quest an expression from this body"
The last speaker was Representative
James Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina, who reviewed disarmament
Legislation and then attacked the Re-
publicans for "iaving change of
heart about the Porter resolution"

From The Tribatne'e Euyopean Bureau
Co,,,.Y+;,,hf 1901 Matv yarle Tribune Inc

LONDON, June 29.---Hope for an
Irish settlement has not been aban-
doned, Notwithstanding the refusal by
Eamon de Valera, the Irish Republican
leader, of Premier Lloyd Georges in
vitation to peace conference. The
initiators of the conference scheme are
far from discouraged and it is regard
ed as almost certainty that the Sim
Fein and Ulster leaders will meet with
out delay for a conference on the Irish
difficulties. Meanwhile the government
intends to give the rebel leaders every
opportunity to confer without inter
ference by the police and military
authorities
Every interested party in the Irish
ENHANCEMENT, the Sim Feiners includ
ed, would welcome a truce. Even the
Sim F6in extremists are anxious for
a stopping of the blood spilling, though
position, the government by withdraw
ing it's police and military forces and
the Sim Feiners by surrendering their
arms.
If the contemplated conference
should fail both sides would return to
the campaign where they left off, and
the government certainly would apply
force more vigorously than ever.
SHUTS Would Get Credit
If, however, the scheme for confer
ence of Irish and English representa-
tives should bring about peace in Ire
land, the credit should go to General
SHUTS, Premier of South Africa. whose
keen mind has been focused on the
problem for years. His courage, fair
ness ard liberality are recognized on
every side, and no statesman enjoys .
larger measure of confidence. The road
to peace is long and rough, but those
in authority believe some progress has
been made. At the moment there is
considerable jockeying, and De Valera
has attempted to throw responsibility
for blocking the conference from his
own shoulders to those of Sir James
Craig, the Ulster Prem er. The Sim
Fein president is considered clever
politician.
Should the SHUTS scheme be followed
the conference would be asked to Sc
lect an arbitration commission, the
chairman of which would be a repre-
sentative of the dominions, and it is
probable that General Smuts would be
called to fill this role. The Sim Feiners
undoubtedly would agree to his APP
pointment- and he is acceptable to
London, except among that group which
opposes negotiations with the rebels
in any form.

Y Vetera1ls Raid
Socialist Hall,
Invite Fight
Step Outside Is Challenge
of rs Disabled Heroes
to Delegates in Detroit
After Red Flag Speech
Ask Respect for Emblem
Convention Chairman, in
Reply, Says Party Creed
Could Have Averted War
Special Dispatch OF The Tribune

DETROIT, June 20 Seventy five
wounded veterans of the World War
burst in on the convention of the So
cialst Party in Auto Workers Hall to-
day, demanded an explanation Of state
ments accredited to Socialists that
"rhere is only one fag--the Red flag, y
and asked any Socialist delegate who
had that idea to "step outside and
fight"
The veterans drew replies from Cam
'eron King, Socialist editor, who ex-
planned why the Socialists opposed
war, and from Algernon Lee, New
York Attorney
Then the veterans withdrew, despite
the fact no explanation was made by
the Socialist speakers regarding the
attitude of the Socialist convention on
the Red flag.
"If any one has the Red flag idea
outside this hail." Captain Ralph T.
Herr, of Seattle, disabled veteran
told the convention, and his supporters
applauded him.
Herr said the veterans did not in
tend to tolerate disrespect for the
flag and would meet the efforts of
those he called the extremists of the
Socialist party with force.
Demand Respect for Flag
The statement made by j. Louis
Engdahl in the Socialist convention
which brought the veterans to the hall
was:
"We will not fight az 100 per cent
Americans but only under the red flag
Of the Socialist party"
Respect for the flag must, be up-
held, Herr said in reply to that senti-
ment. He added that the veterans bore
the same attitude toward the Constitu-
ton that they bore when they went to
war.
Cameron King, of California, chair
man of the Socialist session, answe rec
Herr. He said the Socialist party ap-
preciated the sacrifices of the men
calling on them and understood the i'm
pulses which had caused them to 20
to war.
"But the Socialist party also made
sacrifices" he said, standing on the
principles that the war was unneces-
sary. There was one movement
throughout the world that tried to
preserve world peace, and that was the
Socialist movement, and if that move
ment had been successful your sacri-
hces would have been unnecessary"
Threatens Another Invasion
Herr threatened tonight to lead an
other delegation into the Socialist sane
tum. ~
eve may go there tomorrow morn
ing and drapes an American flag over
their PLATFORM" he said.
King said the Socialists understood
what a long, hard fight was because they
had been fighting for years to accom-
plish freedom of press and speech. He
said. their support of these two funda-
mentals attested their Americanism and
said any question of their loyalty to
the country was unfounded.
The veterans who left the conven-
tion OF the Disabled American Veterans
of the World War took the Socialist
meeting by surprise, but their entrance
was orderly and there was never a like
lihood of tisticuffs.
