A recent rumor concerning Lloyd
Georges plan is that 1t provides for
two senates In Ireland, one for III
ster and one for the rest of the island,
each managing its own affairs but sub

representation basis and the upper

President Harding and Director Gen.
eral Davis of the railroad administra-
ton having worked out plan for the
relief of the railroads, the President
last week presented 1t to congress in
a message and asked for legislative
action. Briefly, he urged that the War
Finance corporation be permitted by
congress to purchase about $5OO00o,-
900 of securities deposited with the
railroad administration as evidence OF
the railroad debts to the government,
the railroad administration then to APP
ply the purchase price against claims
which the roads have against the gov
eminent, thus giving the roads funds
that they greatly need. "There is no
thought to ask congress for additional
funds" said Mr.. Harding. mo added
expense. no investment Is required on
the part Of the government; there is
no added liability, no added tax bur-
den."
Less definite was the part of the
message asking congress to approve
assistance to farmers and cattle men.
But his plan here, too, rests on added
authority for the War Finance cor
poration, and later Senator Kellogg
introduced the administration bill pro-
viding that whenever the corporation
is Of the opinion that conditions aris-
Ing out Of the war have resulted In
an abnormal surplus accumulation of
any staple agricultural product, which
is normally exported In substantial
quantity, and that the ordinary bank
ing facilities are inadequate to carry
such products until they can be ex-
ported, advances may be made for
periods not exceeding one year and
up to s1,OO0,000,0OO.
Either the public health service has
been receiving lot of false informa-
ton, or the public officials of southern
states refuse to admit the truth. Re-
Gently Surgeon General Cummings re-
ceiyed reports that the South is threat
ened with an epidemic of pellagra and
resulting semi-famine, and thereup-
on President Harding called on the
public health service and the Ameri-
can Red Cross to investigate at once,
and devise measures Of relief. 1t was
said the low price Of cotton, with re-
sulting shortage of money, was to
blame. The two agencies got busy at
once, and at the same time in came
the protests of the southern states. In
all cases the state health officials took
issue with the reports of the public
health service, most of them denying
vigorously that there was any increase
of pellagra and all denying that the
situation was serious or that semi.
famine threatened.
