marks in history. 1t comes most oppor-
tunely. The American Senate has al
ready made the first move, with
unanimous resolution calling for a con-
ference between the United States. the
British Empire and Japan.
Japan has been a consistent supporter

a member of the league, but was elected
to a place in the council at the last
meeting.
"All the great parties concerned in the
Pacific are, therefore, pledged to friendly
conference and consultation on what IS
the most important and possibly the most
dangerous phase OF world politics. They
are pledged to a new system of confer
ence and consultation. either by men,

the United States. by a resolution SUCH
as the Senate has just passed"
Mr. Massey took direct issue with the
South African Premier, insisting that
Great Britain and the dominons not
only were bound by the Treaty of Ver-
sailles and other European commit
ments but that even though they were
not legally bound by the treaty to go
to the assistance of France. because the
United States had failed TO ratify that
treaty the empire was morally bound
to do so and would observe her bond.
Mr.. Massey declared that the League

am concerned l am prepared to join

URGE AMENDMENT
OF HOME RULE ACT
Lord Dunraven Emphasizes
Chaos and Confusion Now
Prevailing.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, June 21.-The House of
Irish situation, adjourned from June is.
Lord Salisbury blamed the Government
for its failure to postpone the elections
in the south. He said the elections had
simply provided an opportunity for the
Irish people to declare in favor of a
republic for moderate opinion was COM
plctely controlled by extreme opinion
The Government could only continue to
experiment, but ought to announce any
amendments to the home rule act it was
prepared to propose.
Lord Dunraven empha sized the chaos
and confusion prevailing in Ireland ana
said that deliverance could come only
by legislation amending the act in a
direction which would be supported by
moderate opinion. The Government, lie
declared, had made mistake in not
appealing straight to the Irish people
The Lord Chancellor ridiculed the
idea that the home rule act or its fail
ure was responsible for the state of
affairs in Ireland. 1t was no small
gain that a representative parliament
of six counties In Ireland had been
brought into existence. The history of
the last few months was. in his opinion.

ment's military measures to keep pace
with and overcome the military meas

be created in the event the southern.
Parliament failed to function, the Lord
Chancellor said the Government had
provided for such a possibility. The
Viceroy of South Ireland would then
be in the position of a constitutional
sovereign, and would then be assisted
by his Ministers. The Chancellor was
convinced that if a wise accommodation
was reached between the North and the
South it would be by using the machin-
cry provided by the act for bridging the
differences which existed.
The Earl of Donoughmore's motion.
which started the debate. that the Gov
ernment should determine forthwith
what amendments 1t was prepared to
propose to the Irish act and authorize
negotiations calculated to terminate the
deadlock, was defeated.
The Senators of southern Ireland have
sent memorial to Premier Lloyd
George saying:
Having been elected to serve in the
Senate OF southern Ireland. we desire to
place on record in accepting such ap-
pointment that we do so with the inten-
tion Of exercising the fullest freedom OF
action regarding the powers to be here
after granted the Parliament and Gov
ernment of southern Ireland.
1--WE are of the opinion that the powers
given under the present act are in
sufficient to enable the present Govern
ment of southern Ireland to be carried
on with any prospect of success and.
having regard for the speech OF the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland on June I. we urge
upon the Government that the earliest
possible steps be taken to recast the act.
1--WE desire further to make 1t clear
that we are ready to act in the second
chamber with a lower house sitting con-
stitutionally as representing majority
of the electors. but we are not prepared
10 exercise our functions in connection
with any body nominated by the Lord
Lieutenant to replace the elected lower

Paris, June 81.
Germany will not be permitted to
issue drafts on New York banks in
effecting reparations payments, but VIII
hand over securities and currency or
various nations which she holds direct
to the Reparations Commission for dis
tribution, and an accounting Will De
made on basis of the exchange rates
prevailing on the date of payment. This
decision, THE New YORK HERALD corre-
spondent was informed to-day by the
highest authority, was taken severai
days ago following complaints from
American circles that the dollar fuc-
tuated so wildly following Germanys
first payment that many business deals
were interrupted But Roland w. Boy
den. American representative on the
Reparations Commission, confirmed the
report that no official protest had been
made by the State Department.
1t was pointed out that double fluctu-
ations occurred and would occur with
succeeding payments under the old sys-
tem-the dollar rate mounting as Ger
many sought to buy and dropping Wheh
dollars recrossed the Atlantic to be dis
tributed among the Allies. But the lat
ter fluctuation is likely not to be so ac-
centuated owing to the fact that the
nations naturally use as many dollars as
possible to meet current debts in the
United States.
The plan of payments in currency in
Paris, however. is already arousing pro-
tests from France and Belgium, which
see a great danger Of their shares of
the proceeds being reduced IL the ex-
change goes against them when they at
tempt to convert Germany's cash into
their own currencies. 1t has been gener-
ally understood that any losses due to
exchange fluctuation would be regarded
as against Germany, but. according to
reparasions officials, this decision has
not yet been taken.
Germany will make her payments
ard get credit for so many billions of
marks gold" one informant said to-
day. 1T Is then up to the Allies to do
what they think best with such bonds or
currency and IL they lose in the trans
action there would be no authority for
getting such losses back from the debtor
nation"
1t is understood that Germany favors
the new plan. as in buying dollars she
found greater antipathy than was ex-
pected in America and also suffered
heavy losses owing to the leakage of in
formation furnished to American finan-
cial agents in Berlin several days before
the cash was on hand to carry out the
initial transaction.
