BELFAST. May l6.--Lord Hugh Cecil
member Of the Pr!vy Council Of Eng
land, has suggested a scheme by which
Ireiand would be made an tndepend-
ent Kingdom. It's King to be q member
of the Windsor family, probably the
Prince Of wales. 70 be appointed BY
the King OF England.
Under the scheme there would be
two small Parliarnents. one to be To-
ca.ed N Belfast and the other IN Dub

eates" Of 100 members. Complete dsca'
autonomy would be given Ireland, but

and In the event Of war the King OF Eng
land could suspend :he Irish constitu-
ton. Irishmen In the colonies would
have the right to choose whether they
should be subjects OF the Irish or Eng
lish King. II favorably received By the
Irish leaders, the scheme would be SUBJ
mitted to a constituent assembly.
Some OF the southern Irish leaders.
including John Dillon, TO whom the
scheme was outlined. described II az
''preposterous" Lord Hugh Cecil, In
discussing his scheme. said he still ia
vored union. but as that no longer was
practical politics and federalism did not
satisfy the Irish. who wanted a distinct
nationality. England must 90 as far in
the direction they wanted as possible.
Whatever plan was proposed. he de-
clared, must be one framed and ap-
proved by the irish. but also acceptable
to the British. Lord Hugh then outlined
his plan. adding: II write this In no
spirit of optimism" r
The significance Of Lord Hugh's pro-
posal comes from the fact that he is at
present the guest Of the Londonderry
family. the greatest member Of which
was Lord castlercagh. to whom, more
than anybody else. the breaking UP OF
Henry Grattan's Irish Parliament and
the passing OF the Act OF Union, In 1900.

Poland Stands by Treaty;
Europe's Tension Eased

r ONDON, May 16.-Official
y communications were made
to-day through the Polish Lega-
ton at London voicing Poland's
determination to respect the pro-
visions of the Versailles Treaty,
and these assurances, combined
with the attitude of the German
Government and press In repudi-
ating any attempt to take mill
tary action In Upper Silesia, are
regarded as having greatly
eased the situation.
A semi-official denial has been
issued Of the Y-cmors current in
the French press that Lord

sador at Berlin, had promised
Upper Silesia to Germany on
condition Of her fulfilment Of the
terms Of the allied ultimatum.

KNOX PLAN WAITS
ON GERMAN PAYMENTS
Mondeu Says House Is Ready
to Act.
Special Despatch to THE NEW YonK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. G., May 16.


After a conference with President
Harding to-day Representative Mondell
(wyo.). Republican leader OF the House
announced that the way had been
cleared by the German acceptance OF the
allied reparations demands for action
BY the House on the Knox peace reso-
luton.
Final enactment OF the measure, how
ever, probably will not come until after
June l. the date the Germans are due
to make their f1rst payment under the
reparations agreement. s. rrh
Mr.. Mondeli stated that the resolution
would be taken up by the House In the
regular course of business and strongly
indicated that II would not be rushed or
hastily considered. Because OF this and
the fact that the House In all prob
ability will amend the resolution BY
striking out the section repeating the
declaration Of war, II seems Impossible
that tho resolution in the form finally
approved will be sent to the President
before June 1.
Ii was pointed out to-day that nothing
would be gained by speedy action on
the resolution, which probably would be
followed by the withdrawal of the Amer
lean troops at Cobienz, while n might
have some disastrous effect II followed
by Germany's failure to make the first
reparation payment of 1.00o,0O0,00O gold
marks. due on June j.
The indications now are that the reso-
luton will be taken up In the House
committee next week Mr.. Mondeil. af-
ter his conference at tho White House,
indicated that the President did not
dlsapprove OF the proposed House
amendment.
For this reason there IL every reason
70 believe that the House committee will
fsver the amendment and that the
House will take similar action. A con-
ference with the Senate then will be
necessary on the resolution. and this is
virtually certain TO delay II 70 June /.

LLOYD GEORGE SPEECH
ATTACKED IN WARSAW
VieUed as Imitation to Ger
mans to InUade.
BIZ the Associated Press.

WARSAW, May Is. - Extraordinary
measures have been taken by the Polish
Government In an endeavor to clear up
Silesian affairs. which have taken a
turn for the worse owing to Mr.. Lloyd
Georges recent speech accusing Poland
OF backing the movement which brought
about the uprising
All efforts to communicate with Adel-
bert Korfanty. leader OF the Polish in
surgents. having failed. Premier Witos
himself. accompanied by Minister OF In
terror Skulski. proceeded to sohnowice,
just east OF the Silesian frontier. from
which place they are trying to commu-
nicate with Korfanty to induce him to
end the insurrection and permit affairs
to take their natural course toward a
peaceful settlement.
The Government asserts that Il has had
no communication with Korfanty since
the insurrection began.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech is bftterl-.
critfsized by the Warsaw press. which
interprcts II as virtual invitation 10
German troops TO invade the disputed
districts The press considers England's s
attitude as unfair to the young repub-
lie, which, II says, has peen handicapped
by Great Britain from the beginning.
The newspapers strongly oppose any
move which might bring Poland even 10
the brink of war with Germany, but in
Polish diplomatic circles the view Is
taken that an invasion by German troops
of Silesian territory claimed by the Poles
would result In clash between the
Polish and German forces. as the Gov
ernment would be unable to restrain the
Polish soldiers from going to the assist
ance of their Slesian brothers.
With Premier Witos who Is known az
a peacemaker, now at the front tho Gov
ermnent authorities express confidence
that the situation will soon show inn
provement. e4

MIGHT MUST IMPOSE
RIGHT, SAYS MILLERAND
King Albert Hears Address
by French President.

many still disciaiming responsibility for
the war which brought so much suffer
fng to France ahd Belgium there is no
other course than to deal with her as
one who must be compelled to make
good her misdeeds. declared President
Millerand In an address delivered to-day
In the presence of Albert. King OF the
Belgians.
President Mlllsrand said: "If the citi-
nens Of Lille and of northern France and
Belgium are too generous to claim re-
venge. they nevertheless. in accord with
the remainder OF the people OF France
and the Allies, demand Justice against
the Government and the nation which
brought on the war and which through
out the hostilities and without military
necessities pursued systematic course
Of ruin and devastation toward the
mines and industries, employing pillage
and arson as a means OF insuring their
own Industrial and economic ascendancy
upon the coming OF peace.
As long ~ Germany, against all the
evidence, continues through her public
men to deny her responsibility, which
her plenipotentiaries Acknowledged at
Versailles, and which only the other
day the United States Government
placed upon her, there can be no real
peace in the world. Might must impose
right.
1T is not to the democracies, eager
for work and peace. that one must look
for Imperialism. We cherish no ambi-
tion other than to assure to future gen.
erations liberty. fraternity and peace
in which Individual happiness shall be
the fruit Of disinterested devotion to the
right and the ideal"
Replying TO President Millerand, Kins
Albert said: Your words will find
among my compatriots in Belgium a
sympathetic echo. They know the senti-
ments OF France toward them and they
see IN France an allied. friendly nation,
as faithful to her friendships as to her
traditions Of genius and heroism."
