IRISH PROTEST
REACHESDAv|S
Frank P. Walsh Will Oppose De-
portations and Fight for
Recognition.
WILL WORK ON CONGRESS
Claims American Laws Give
Erin Right to Be Rep
resented Here.

The Irish republic has played one
of its trump cards In the struggle for
American recognition. Frank p
Walsh, one OF the American commits
sioners to Ireland. has invoked the
act of June Is. 1917. under which he
claims the right to be legal counselor
to oppose State Department deporta-
tions OF Irish representatives here.
In formal communication to Sec
retary of State Colby. Walsh an
nounced his appointment as legal
counselor for the Irish republic. His
announcement came on the heels OF
what was regarded as State Depart
ment plans to deport all Irish "citi-
zens" here without passports, includ-
ing Harry Boland, President De Va
lera's secretary.
NOTICE OF CONTEST.
Mr.. Walsh, who has been acting as
attorney for most of the Irish repre-
sentatives appearing before the
American Commission on Conditions
in Ireland, at the same time served
notice on the state Department that
he would contest every legal right
of the Irish republic in this country,
including the fight for recognition.
He based his claim to a standing of
legal counsellor for the Irish republic
on section of the act of June Id,
1917, which defines "foreign gov
ernment as any government, faction.

United States is at peace, regardless

In his letter to the Secretary of
State Mr.. Walsh stated that as coun-
seIlor to the Irish republic he will
represent the government of Ireland
in all matters in which 1t may be
concerned before the departments of
the United States Government, COM
mittees of Congress. courts of law,
any council or association of nations,

recognition of republic whose
struggles against British oppression
have aroused the world said Mr..
Walsh today. 'If the executive
branch of this great Government
shrinks from this recognition, am eff
fort will be made to awaken Con-
gress to take the steps which will
give Ireland the place she should
rightfully occupy among the nations
OF the earth.

WORKERS IN FRANCE
ASK FOR SOv|ETS
Factories Refuse Metal Trades
Demand-Briand Fears Un-
rest of J0bIeSS Men.

PARIS, Jan. 23.-The demand of
the French Metal Workers Union
that the employers grant them the
right to form what arc popularity
termed "soviets" in each factory to
supervise the work was refused last
night by the employers.
The latter contended that tho mat
ters over which control was requested
did not concern the workers, but they
promised simultaneously to make an
attempt to alleviate the unempioy'
ment situation.
The workers had demanded, among
other things supervision of wages and
working and sanitary conditions.
1t is not kown what decision the
metal workers will take in the face Of
the employers refusal, but the situa-
tion admittedly is very serious.
There were further predictions to-
day of a large increase in the number
OF unemployed, and added to this
situation are the threats OF the Com
munist party of France OF demon
strations. 1t is feared these demon
strations may have an aggravating
effect IL the number of idle men is
not considerably reduced and the cost
OF living lowered.
Already at Lyons, French labor for
the first time since the foundation OF
the republic has decided to take mat
ters into it's own hands by occupying
the silk factories, worth millions,
while Premier Brands significant ad-
mission to Parliament that disorders
are officially feared and Will "be
sternly suppressed" has not reacted to
relieve the general Industrial tension.

BOSTON jan 23.--Dancing is an
instinct which rs very much better en-
pressed than suppressed, said Prof.
Emil Carl Wilm, head of the depart
ment of psychology at Boston UoiNcr-
sity, in a serious defense of natural
pleasures today.
Dancing serves a useful social
end" he added. "It gives married
people the opportunity to associate
with persons of the opposite sex un-
der conventional circumstances, and
it helps uphold conventional society.
Dancing is an instinct like eating
fighting and mating. There is no one
who can't dance, as 1t is only accented

old son one-steps and fox-trots.

ural and therefore the appeal of
dancing cannot help but be wide
spread. Our highly conventional So
ciety suppresses "A great many natural
pleasures, but dancing has not been
abolished by the Blue law reformers
yet, and it is one of the few natural
pleasures left.
"The over-cmphasis that Is some
times placed on dancing is the result
of what psychologists know as inhibi-
tions. Unless normal instincts get an
expression or have some compensa-
tion they are apt to burst out in un-
usal forms.
For instance, all women have the
maternal instinct, and the modern
bachelor woman, her Instinct unsatis-
fed and repressed, compensates by
taking a passionate interest in ami
mails, or else she becomes a champion
OF feminism."
