paEsion by moving that it has the in
telligence and craftsmanship to be
flexible and adapt itself to new con-
ditions. These are merely single in
cidents.
What is much more fundamental
and equally apparent is that there
are two forces at work. One is work
ing in the direction of elf-determi-
nation for small nations and peoples,
and has already expressed itself In
the case of Poland, Bohemia, Ireland
Finland and some others. This force
is going further The other force is
working towards q principle of loose
federation among all nations, or at
least among large groups of nations.
This force expresses itself in the
League of Nations, in Mr.. Harding S
Association of Nations and in all that
is happening at the conference here
in Washington. 1t expresses itself
also in the act Of the British en-
pire in making itself more flexible, in
making its ties more elastic. This
force also is going further. There
cannot be much doubt that some
thing big in the way of world fedora
ton is in process of incubation.
Incidentally, l am told that the
election i'll Canada, which happened
to be held on the same day as the
Irish settlement. means tender
from Canada towards trade and tariff
reciprocity with the United States.
am told also that within a few
months Canada expects to have its
onw ambassador in Washington. The
money has already been appropriate
ed. and the final details only await
a time when the British government
will not be Inconvenience or en-
barrassed. The Canadians tell me
that they want to transact their large
bulk of business with us direct and
not through the British embassy.
This Canadian action also will be a
step at once in the direction of self
determination and also in the direc-
ton of stoutly preserved but more
elastic federation with Great Britain.

The headquarters staff of the Irish
republican army is supposed to be be-

the agreement. in which case a major

since large proportion of the Dali
members are men who at some time
have belonged to the army.
Should considerable majority sup
port the motion for ratification and
thus vote against canon De Valera,
it is thought probable that he will
stand aside" and let Mr.. Griffith
make the best of the situation.
De Valera Issues Statement
canon De Valera in announcing to-
day the fact that the treaty between
Great Britain and Ireland would como
up next Wednesday in the Dali
Eireann on the question of ratifica-
ton, issued the following statement:
ITO prevent misunderstanding, the
public should realize, first, that the
treaty signed by our plcnpotentiaries
must be ratified by the Dali .Gireann,

ment. in order to take effect, and sec
ond. that the usual course would be
for the cabinet to introduce the treaty
agreement as a cabinet measure
In the present case, owing to the
fact that in the later stages of the ne
gotiations the views of the rIenipo-
tentiaries differed from those of GER
tain members of the cabinet, THIS
course cannot be taken. The motion
for ratification will now be introduced
by Arthur Griffith as chairman Of the
delegates"

swift pace of present history. The
story is long. but the point of it is
that Roosevelt, shortly before he
died, told a friend that if he should
ever again be President he would
consider it one of his most pressing
duties to tell Great Britain that the
Irish question. because of it's con-
slant effects on our domestic politics.
was one of which we had a right to
take notice. 1t was Mr.. Roosevelt's
intention to keep within the limits of
international good manners, but
nevertheless to take leadership in
the Irish question and press it firmly
to conclusion.
The opinion here is universal that
the Irish Dali Eireann will accent.
There has never been any doubt
among American sympathizers with
ireland that if and when England
would offer to Ireland what was in
truth and good faith the equivalent
of what Canada has, Ireland must
accept. America knows Canada and
knows she is happy. 1t would have
been impossible to convince America
that Ireland could not be happy and
contented with approximately the
same status that Canada has.
History Making Giant Strides
In the most direct and vivid sense
we are in the midst of history in the
making. Ancient forms are breaking
up and new ones are being fused. 1t
is not merely that nation has come
into its own after and because it had
kept its national pride and self-con-
seriousness true for 700 years of the
most ruthless determination to crush
it, 1t is not merely that the greatest
empire in the world has shown its
right to continued existence and ex-

Perhaps you car owners who keep
your cars in cold storage don't real

would think twice before abusing
your cars in this way.

Freezing isn't expensive just price ra-

You can prevent freezing by using

with care. Many that are used are
positively dangerous because they

ical and electrolytic action in the ra-

''anti-freeze" mixture is alcohol and
water, but this must be watched cons
tinually for if the alcohol content be-
comes too low, the water will freeze.
There's only one safe anti-freeze,
and that is a warm garage.
