POSTPONE
VOTE UPON
IRISH PACT
Dali Eireann Adjourns
Until January 3 After
Defeating Motion to
Remain Till Voting

Dublin, Dec. 22.-(By Associ-
ated Press. )-The Dali Eireann
this evening adjourned it's sessions
until January after rejecting by
a vote of n to A a motion to con-
tinue the debate on the Anglo
Irish treaty until vote was TAX
en-. The motion emanated from
the opponents of the treaty and
the vote was regarded as roughly
indicating the relative strength
for and against the treaty.
The supporters of the treaty ap-
pear to be more confident than
the opposing faction, but the
Dublin press, which is strongly in
favor of acceptance of the treaty,
continued this morning to take a
gloomy view of the situation.
When the Dali session opened
today Deputy o'Kelly, minister Of
education, speaking against the
treaty, like MISS Mary MacSWlney
in her speech of yesterday, de-
clared the Irish republic was far
from dead. He said there would
be a continuation of the war in
Ireland whether the treaty was
ratified or rejected.
The optimism which the sup
porters of the treaty have been
displaying during the last two
days appeared somewhat diminish
ed, however, before the morning
session had ended. When the Dali
adjourned for lunch the impress
sion seemed general that sentiment
for the treaty had lost some
ground and that the result of the
vote was highly uncertin.

EUR0PE'S
REVIVAL
Allied Supreme Coun-
Gil Invites Confer
ence of Powers to
Outline Scheme

London, Dec. 22.-(By Associ-
ated Press) The allied supreme
council at its coming meeting in
Cannes will be asked to invite the
interested powers to appoint a
commission to elaborate a com
prehensive scheme for the reha-
bilitation of Central Europe and
Russia. This conclusion was ar
rived at in the conferences of the
French and British premiers just
ended here.
The United States would be in
vited to have a membership in
this commission. Germany also
would be represented. The ques-
tion of Russian representative
is in allegiance.
All Points Carried
When Premier BRAND return
ed to his hotel this morning from
the conference with Prime Minis
ter Lloyd-George in Downing
street, he told the correspondent
that agreement had been reached
on many points.
"One could almost say on prac-
tically all essential points," add
ed the premier, "but no decisions
have been placed in writing.
These can only be taken by the
supreme coun Il at its next meet
ing"
The discussion held by the pre-
miers, it was learned, were much
wider in scope than the mere de-
batting of the German reparations
situation.
First, it develops, they thor
oughly reviewed the numerous
plans suggested for fixing the
reparations payments on a basis
mutually agreeable to France and
Great Britain with regard also to
ensuring Germany's economic sta
bility.
The question Of the restoration
of Austria and the possibility of
bringing Russia within the coun-
ellis of the nations were next gone
into.
Consult the Powers
Then it was decided that the
best course to pursue would be to
suggest to the supreme council
that it ask the powers in a posi-
tion to render the necessary as
sistance to appoint a competent
commission to devise compre-
hensive plan of dealing with the
difficulties.
American Ambassador Harvey
will attend the Cannes meeting,
1t was learned today. 1t is under
stood he will be an observer"
when the subject under discussion
is one of no interest to America
and as a participant in the consid-
Grafton of those subjects affecting
the United States.
Aside from the question of Eu-
ropean habilitation, it is likely
that the supreme council will have
before it the Turco-Greek situa-
tion and other problems which
have long been awaiting its at
tention.

Formal Acceptance of
Naval Limitation of

1ounced

Washington, Dec. 22.-- (By AS
sociated Press. Statements in
behalf of France and Italy accept
ing formally the American pro-
posals for Limitation of capital
ships armament were made today
at the meeting OF the delegates of
the five major powers OF the
Washington conference.
The negotiations for elimination
of naval armament passed on from
first line ships to auxiliary craft
today when the full naval commit
tee assembled with its experts to
begin consideration of the French
request for an increase in sub
marines and cruisers.
Other Vessels Considered.
AS the committee assembled
there seemed to be a general feel
ing that the auxiliary warship
problem would not be sufficiently
difficult to jeopardlze success of
the conference.
French Guard Plans.
The French estimates were
closely guarded up TO the hour Of
their presentation to the commit
that they proposed a large sub
marine strength and an increase
also in cruiser tonnage. In the
general adjustment there were in
dications that a disproportionate
submarine strength would be al
lowed France and that as an off
set the British would ask for an
increased tonnage in anti-sub-
marine craft.

some Of the recommendations OF

conference,
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1921-12-22

Approval of the bill followed inn
mediately the acceptance OF house
joint resolution No. 3. by Kubli,
the resolution carrying the consti-
tutional amendment authorizing q
gasoline tax as the means OF fl
nancing state fund for $4,000
600 for the support of the 1925
exposition in Portland. The vote
on the resolution eliminated a
fight in the house that lasted
throughout the day and carried 1t
into an evening session. The count
showed A members voting yes and
IA no.
Log Rolling Result.
Salve administered to the fears
OF those friends of the state high
way program who saw that dit
version Of the gasoline tax funds
from highway maintenance and
construction USE ~ould seriously
threaten the highway program and
endanger extension OF the state
program into the sections OF the
state which have as yet been neg
lected in the building plans, was
chiefly responsible for the success
of the bill, but common log-roll-
ing, with the Multnomah county
delegation holding the club OF its
13 votes over the head OF doubt
full bills sponsored by upstate and
eastern Oregon members, also had
its effect.
Briefly, the bill diverts the
present gasoline tax of 2 cents per
gallon, plus an extra cent which
is added, from the highway funds
for a period of three years for the
support Of the exposition. II pro-
yides that $4,000 of the sum OF the
taxes be returned to the highway
fund each month for maintenance
purposes, or 100000 a year in
place OF more than million dol
lars that is now secured by the
highway commission from the gas
tax.
Return Of Funds.
One of the concessions In the
amended bill, made on the de-
mand of the Douglas county dele
CATION. is that 10 per cent Of the
total funds aceruing to the fair
commission from the tax shall be
returned to the counties in proper
tion to the share of the tax paid
by them and that this 10 per cent
shall be used by the several coun-
