IRISH 'S|LES|A'
SEEN AS BAR To
PEACE PROPOSAL
UnionIsts Opposed to Possible
Loss Of Two Counties BY
L PIebiscite.
BY DANIEL O'CONNELL,
international News Service.

LONDON. Nov. 3.-The Ulster
counties OF Tyrone and Fermapagh
where It is proposed to hold plebis'
cite TO determine their future status,
promise TO become the upper Silesia
OF Ireland"
Although high hopes OF an Irish set
tlement had been aroused by the
British cabinets unanimous note 20
the Unionist government In Ulster,
proposing acceptance OF the Sim
Fein's proposal for a plebiscite In the
two counties, IL was admitted today
that obstacles may develop.
Despite the pacific efforts OF Sir
Edward Carson, former leader or the
Ulster Unionists, and Premier Lloyd
George, the question arose today
whether Sir James Craig, Unionist
premier OF Ulster, could overcome the
opposition OF the Unionist "die hards"
10 a compromise based on the detach-
ment OF the two counties in question
from Ulster province.
1t was suggested the blebiscite be
based upon the census figures of 1911.
Those showed Tyrone had 79,0lh
Roman Catholic residents and 63,640
non Catholic residents. Fermanagh
had 34,740 Roman Catholic residents
and 27,096 non Catholic residents.
Premier Lloyd George is understood
to have promised increased executive
powers to the Ulster parliament II the
two counties are relinquished, but
Unionist leaders at Belfast assert the
counties are required TO offset the
radical labor vote In the northern In
dustrial section.

Liberty Bonds are due for a rise

OF Government financing and other
developments in money markets OF
far-reaching Importance. experts
agreed today.
Money conditions are rapidly be-
coming easier. Easing credit condi.
tions in all parts OF the United States
has forced another slash AT the re-
discount rates OF the Federal Reserve
Banks.
In eight OF the reserve banks
lowered rates went into effect today,
a drop OF one.half OF per cent
being made. at New York. Philadelphia,
San Francisco. Richmond and Atlanta.
ana drop or per cent at the re-
serve banks at Chicago. st. Louis and
Kansas City.
Further drops I'm re-discount rates
In other reserve bank districts may be
| expected before long. They are about
due because OF the steadily rising re-
serve radio position OF these banks.
High reserve ratios influenced the
drops made effective today. These
accommodating reserves OF available
credit. reflected TO officials a tremen-
dous volume Of available funds in the
United States. at lower rates.
Lower bank rates commercially may
be expected to follow the lead Of the
reserve hank policy to slash rates
when easier money conditions justify
that course.
Taxpayers find satisfaction also in
the drop in the public debt of nearly
$500 900, 900 In the last month. The
| Treasury did not go into the market
with an offering OF certificates in Oc-
! toher, and there was a larger retire
ment Of certificates already outstand-
ing. Government receipts and expen-
ditures continue to be about evenly
balanced, and the economy program
OF the Administration is gradually
having the effect OF curtailing Treas.
ury expenditures in many directions.
