ULSTER PARLIAMENT
OPENED IN BELFAST,
PEOPLE ARE QUIET
nv Associated Prcss)

BELFAST, June 7-Ulster's par
liment came into being today and this
city the commercial and industrial
metropolis of Ireland was gay with
flags and bunting in honor of the oc-
casion. Forty Unionist members of
the ga rliment elected on May "a, took
their seats and proceeded to the organ
ization of the House of Commons, but
the nationalist and Sim Fein, utterly
ignored the proceedings.
Today's ceremonies, although color
full and imposing seemed to attract
little attention from the people of this
city. They apparently were awaiting
the state opening of the parliment on
June %, when it is expected King
George will be present. The event,
which may have a profound influence
on the future history of Ireland. did
not therefore have the setting that
might have been expected by those
who had planned it.
High Officials Present
Niscount FitzAlan, lord lieutenant
of Ireland, left London in time to
reach Belfast early this morning to
take his part in the ceremonies of
the day. He and Countess FitzAlan
were the guests of Lord Pirrie, from
whose residence they drove to the city
hall, where the new parliament con-
vened.
Election Of officers was the first
work before the parliament. and the
election of Hugh O'Neill as speaker
and Arthur Irwin Basent as clerk was
forecast, Sir James Craig, the pre-
mier, was prepared to announce the
members of this cabinet, whose i'm
mediate confirmation by the lord lieu
tenant was assured. Following the
election of members of the senate,
adjournment was planned until June
%
Elaborate police precautions against
disorder has been taken and many
persons against whom there were sus-
picions were placed under arrest Sun
day morning.

five GROUPS FIXED
IN REORGANIZATION
COMMERCE BUREAU

WASHINGTON, June T. Decision
has been received on five of the basic
groups of commodities into which the
work of the bureau Of foreign and do
nestle commerce will be divided when
the reorganization now in progress is
completed, Secretary Hoover said to-
day. these groups are textiles, coal
and OIL chemicals. leather products
and foodstuffs.
AS originally planned, Mr. Hoover
explained there were to be II basic
groups with two experts in charge of
each. However, it has not been decid-
ed, he added, whether the final group
ing will be limited to IL or whether
there would be more groups with
less than two experts in charge. There
remains TO be terminated what con.
ditions are to make UP the other
groups, he added, although one will.
include miscellaneous specialties.
To Expand Exports.
Part of the work from the export
standpoint will be devoted to the ex
pansion of exports as we'll as develop
ment of markets already established,
it was said.
Similar groupings will be installed
in the bureau of standards and the
census bureau in order to correlate
the work of the commerce bureau OF
providing the necessary statistics for
the basic commodities and aiding i'll
the standardization of export products.

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Secretary
of War Weeks recently made the
statement that American homes con-
stituted the country's first line of
defense.
If such be the case, and it may be
disputed by the navy, the final report
the Senate committee on reconstruc-
ton has just submitted would indicate
that the national defense needs con-
siderable bolstering.
The committee, which has devoted
several months to a study of economic
conditions in the United States, esti-
mates that 100000 new homes are
needed in this country, at an average
cost of 5000. This would call for an
aggregate investment Of $5,00O,0 600
The committee, in its report, de-
clares that the remedy for the scarcity
of homes lies in better transporta-
tion, abundance of fuel, credit for
loans and full information on the best
methods of construction
Several Suggestions
Legislation is recommended by the
committee for governmental informa-
tion on housing construction, publicity
on the costs of production, distribution
and standards of the quality of COAL
restriction of emergency shipping pri-
ority orders, and several amendments
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-06-07
Skeptical as to Suggestions
to Stimulate Home Building

to the revenue laws and the federal
law, making longtime loans available
and exempting from taxation profits on
real estate transactions under certain
conditions.
Some criticism has been heard of
the suggestions advanced by the COM
mittee to stimulate a revival of home
building. Admitting that some of the
committees recommendation appear
practicable, these critics insist that it
is doubtful if the country generally
would approve any scheme for financ-
ing construction through loans by fed
eral banks or by giving preferred
treatment in the matter of taxation
to real estate transactions.
Point to High Costs
Those who oppose in detail the re-
construction committees home build
ing program state that the real prob
lens are fundamental and easily
noted These fundamentals, they say,
are the abnormal costs of materials
and labor and excessive railroad
freight rates.
Those who are inclined not to ac-
cept the committees report in its en-
tirety assert that the committee has
failed to emphasize what they con-
IVao diS tAC ~ lASlpdi SduSCo vi IAS
building shortage. They argue that
these causes are vital and rest at the
bottom of the stagnation in the build
ing industry.
1t is pointed out that the savings
deposits in the banks of the nation
now aggregate $6,500,0OO,O00. a sum
larger than ever before known in his
tory; and. it is argued, there is no
doubt but that a large part of this
money has been laid by with the in
tention of using it for home construc-
ton. and that it will be used for that
purpose just as soon as building con-
ditions show improvement.
See No Inducement
1t is predicted by many that while
labor remains at its present high level,
while building materials are held at
war prices and interest rates are far
above normal, and while transporta-
tion costs continue excessive, there
will be no inducement for undertaking
building operations. This is a condi-
tion which legislation cannot cure, it
is argued. and must be left to the
working Of economic laws, which in
time will effect adjustments and
proper ratios.
Speed up. reads the message the
Indiana division OF the Travellers
Protective association has addressed
to congress. The message was pre-
pared by committee of four. includ-
ing l.. c. Newcomer of Richmond.
The Indiana division Of the T P A.
points out that there can be no real
prosperity until business readjust-
, ments can be brought about, and to
hri, ol~
required. The Importance of tax re-
vision is emphasized; also a satisfac-
tory solution of the railroad problem.

on the station by the Poles but when.
the British appeared the Poles with

The train vas held there for some
time so that the officers could investi-

false and the train proceeded. being

One French officer accompanied by a
number of French non-commissioned

While these troops were on their
way to the storm center of upper Sile-

OF herman Q61onSe ORGANIZATIONS, :,
bluntly declined to comply with the
French ultimatum to withdraw his
forces from the front between Krap-
pitz and kosel where the Poles have
been driven back for several miles. He
promised, however to prevent furth-
er advance by the Germans unless
provoked by the Poles"
1t has been learned by allied officials
here that from 5000 to 1000 Germans
who were liberated in the territory
taken over by the defense orsaniza-
tions volunteered to serve with the
Germans and that each man produced
a weapon with which to fight against
the Poles.
1t is learned from British sources
that the probable plan for the pacifica.
ton of upper Silesia will be to garri-
son all the large industrial towns in

available for this service and that in
