couples at the new apartment for
the sleeping abode. Then. on the
first night Daddy Hawkins is called
to the club. After convincing friend

 Financial aid for Austria was con sidered next. In this connection, resolution was adopted urging the American Congress to hasten passage of legislation which. it was stated, would enable the Austrian financial relief plan to be put into operation.
 The council formally adopted the decision to appoint two judges from each allied country to examine and report whether justice had been rem dered at the Leipsic trials of Ger mans accused of war crimes. This decision had been informally agreed upon Thursday.

 What is good enough for these nations surely ought to be good enough for Ireland too. For Irish- men to say to the world that they cannot be satisfied with the status ot the great British dpminions would be to alienate all that sympathy which has so far been the main support of the Irish cause. Such an offer by the British prime minister, who. un- like his predecessors, is in position to deliver the goods, is an event Of unique importance. It is far more than was offered to the Transvaal and the free states, who fought for freedom in one of the greatest wars in the history of Great Britain and one which reduced their own coun- tries to ashes and their little peoples to runse
 If you accept, you will become a sister dominion in the great circle of equal states, who will stand beside you and shield you and protect your rights, as if these were their owp rights, and any question that you and the British government may have will be for the imperial conr ference to decide. This is the natural and constitutional practice of domlr = ion freedom"
 Human Problem
 Concluding his letter, Generai Shuts said:
 ."rhe Irish question is no longer a constitutional, but mostly human problem. A history such as yours must breed temper which is most difficult to deal with on both sldes. Sympathy is called for as well as generosity and real largeness of soul: | am sure that both the English anu Irish peoples are ripe for 1resn start. The tragic horror or recent events, followed so suddenly py tho truce and by fraternizing all along the line, has set flowing deep Ioun tains of emotion in both people anu created a new political situation
