DOMINION is NOT WANTED,
SAYS DE VALERA, IN FRANCE
President of Irish Republic Trailed to Tours Asserts
Sim Fein Is Willing to Give Autonomy to
Ulster-Leaves for Erin by Plane.

Paris, Jan. 81.
Eamonn de Valera. president of the
Irish Republic" has been found in
Tours. according to correspondent of
the Oeurre of Paris.
While reports have persisted that De
Valera was In France to confer with
Mr.. Lloyd George. there is nothing TO
indicate that he has seen or will see
the British Premier.
Il long interview with De Valera by
Marcel Coulaud appears in the Ocuvre,
dated Somewhere in France" but 1t
later developed that 1t was in Tours
that the interview took place. Nj. Cou-
laud gives description of the Sim Fen
leader and asserts that when he ap-
preached him De Valera quickly ad-
mitted his identity. Asked why he left
America, he quotes him as saying:
Because at the moment when Eng
land tried to weaken the morale of our
people by a policy of terrorism my
duty was to place myself among them.
The American people desire the Irish
question regulated at once and for all
time on the basis of Justice
Regarding the present situation in
Ireland De Valera is quoted as saying :
I'VE were ready to take the first
peace steps. but unfortunately the Eng
lish consider each step we take toward
reconciliation as "a sign of weakness and
tendency on our part toward submis-
sion. England pursues her policy pitt
lessly, hoping for final success. and yet
the employment of brute force is only
enlarging the abyss over which the
Eng glish in their own interests must try
to throw n bridge. The Irish have suf-
fered much. and this is the reason Eng
land is finding herself daily in a more
perilous situation. A few experts know
the real conditions obtaining in her vast
empire. but the English masses are
ignorant of it,"
Questioned regarding the success of
the peace efforts by the Rev. Michael
OFlanagan while he was acting presi-
dent Of the Sim Fein, De Valera was
quoted as saying:
Father O'Flanagan did not represent
the Irish and was acting only on his
own initiative and as a simple Irish
citizen.
"As for Premier Lloyd George. no
matter what he says to the press. the

SAYS SETTLEMENT IS
NEAR IN PREPARATIONS
BIZ The associated Press.

PARIS. Jan. 27.=''To-morrow will be
the decisive day OF the conference
Premier BRAND said to the Associated
Press at the close of a meeting lasting
four hours.
This reparations question must be
settled once and for all before Saturday
night" NJ. BRAND declared. THE posi-
tions taken differ but are not irreconcil-
able. \ definitive resolution must be
adopted before the conference ends. MY
position in this afternoons discussion
was exactly that outlined in my official
declaration in the Chamber, when ] as
sumed the Premiership"
1t is recalled that this declaration was
TO the effect that France was opposed
to fixing a stated amount for the Ger
| man debt. but favored annuities.
| NJ BRAND seemed to treat the question
| OF disarmament as Of less Importance.
saying:
"The reparations question must be set
tied first. / only wish the reparations
question could be settled as easily as
that of disarmament.
"The question appears likely to be
solved before Saturday. The clouds were
| dark and heavy to-day. but the atmos-
phere is clearer tonight" the Premier
concluded.
When the discussion on reparations
was taken up this afternoon II was in an
atmosphere made quite unfavorable by
the radical position assumed yesterday
by NJ. Doumer the French Minister OF
Finance. who named 212. 1000. 900. 900 gold
marks as the tai amount OF indemnity
Germany should pay. NJ. Doumer's atti-
tude. though practically disavowed by
the press generally and supposedly by
some of the members of the French Cab
! met. caused considerable embarrassment
Certain things must be insisted upon
Mr.. Lloyd George declared the determi-
nation OF Germanys capacity to pay
the renovation of Germany's fantastic
budget" and the imposition upon her
people of taxes as heavy as those paid
| by the allied peoples Germany must
make her people economize as the Allies
have done the total of the debt must
be fixed and the mode of payment es-
tablished. Then at the meeting similar
TO that at Spa the Allies should meet
Germany and finally discuss a settle
ment.
NJ. Doumer said that AIR. Lloyd
| Georges speech did not change his
opinion. Count Sforza. the Italian For
eign Minister. strongly favored the ex-
pert programme N the Belgians. He
said II would be a vital mistake to de-
part from the basis fixed at Boulogne.
The statement made by NJ. Doumer.
in which he named $4,000 900. 900 gold
marks as the total amount of indemnity
Germany should pay. Is understood to

gloomy indeed, despite the protestation
of the ehairmen and directors of the
great banking concerns. They are all
artificial attempts to dispel the gloom
settling down upon Europe and which is
casting its shade even in America
Mr.. Hodges and other speakers in
sisted that the Governments refusal o
resume trade with Russia was one Of
the fundamental causes of the present
distress.
I'VE have erected artificial political
barriers" declared Mr.. Hodges, not
because our capitalists are afraid to
trade with Russia. but because the
politicians are afraid that a particular
form of government might spread west
ward and overwhelm them"
Benjamin Turner. who was a member
of the British labor delegation to Rus
sia, said that the committees plan for
restoring trade was better than doles
or a revolution
Mr. Thomas promised that the LABOR
ties in Parliament from February 10 TO

Mr.. Williams the declaration: IF We
content ourselves with merely passing
resolutions the Government will con-

would deserve it,"
Neil MacLean, member of Parliament
from Glasgow. ridiculed Mr.. Wiliams's
declarations, and added: THE safest
place to be when a revolution comes Is
a trade union office"
The proposals embodied IN the resolu-
ton call for trade with Russia : restora-

The conference was attended by 1000

concede this right there would be no

One of the coming amateur affairs that bids for the attention of the pub licv interested In dramatics is the pre- sentation of Sir Henry Arthur Jones' delightful four-act comedy, "The Ma neuvers of Jane" at the Jefferson soon.
 This is the annual Howard college senior play, and Is under direction of Miss A. Bess Clark. ~To. those who saw .'The Prince Chap" last year no assur- ance of the success of this play Is nee essary. The maneuvers" is entirely different in type and comprises a cast of 19 people When it was first staged in London, Cyril Maude took the part of Lord Bapehil, a pedantic fool. MT. Seman Newfield son of Rabbi New field, of this city. promises to be. a great source of fun in this role. Miss Irene Lammert of Ensley, MT. Wilkes Hal of Talladega. MT. H. l.. Ripper, Howard student, government president; Miss Gussie Mae Brasfield and Miss Ruth Alexander of the Howard Players adequately carry the other heavy parts.
 Among the interesting features of the minor roles is that of little Miss Frances Bohannon, who so succeeded In "The Prince Chap" last year, who will play an entirely unlike part in this years production
 Howard college students predict a record breaking crowd at the play and a record breaking performance if the success is to be judged by the advance cooperation of students. friends and faculty.
