.ULSTER'S PREMIER
MEETS De VALERA
Sir James Craig Then Visits New
Lord Lieutenant, Who
Leaves for London.

Dublin.-The meeting of Sir James
Craig and Professor deValera is re-
garded here as of great importance, in
view Of de Valera's proclamation to
the Irish people early this week, in
which he referred to provisions for
such devolution in the administration
of home affairs as 20 make for salts
faction and contentm ent. The belief
prevails that the object of the confer
ence was an endeavor on the part of
Sir James to secure from de Valera
an explicit Interpretation Of this
phrase in de Valera's proclamation.
The departure of Viscount Fitzalan,
Lord Lieutenant and Governor Gen
eral of Ireland, for London is supposed
to have bearing on peace negotia-
lions.
The announcement that Sir James
had interviews with both Viceroy Fitz-
alan and de Valera has created the
greatest interest here. They are being
especially connected with the reports
Of the Earl of Derby's interview with
de Valera and Sir James Craig's call
for special meeting of the Unionist
party.
The conference between Sir James
Craig and de Valera is regarded as a
most hopeful sign for peace. 1t is said
to involve on de Valera's part no nee
essary change in attitude, for the Sim
Feiners have always asserted their
willingness to meet any Irishman. 1t
is argued that the North has always
held aloof and that Sir Edward Car
son, the Ulsterite leader, refused to
meet the late John Redmond on the
recruiting platform. 1t was also said
that deValera might meet Craig with
out affecting his position, for he has
no electoral difficulty and his party is
certain to have an unopposed victory.

FARM COMBINE
BILL PASSES
LegaIizes Corporate Undertake
ings by Associations of Pro-
ducers' Under Supervision.
GUARDS AGAINST MONOPOLY
voIstead Measure Adopted by 2e4 to
49-House Allows Combine Sales
of Farm Foods - Bill Now
Goes to Senate.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of agri-
cultural producers under the superVi-
sion of the secretary of agriculture are
authorized by the Volstead bill passed
by the house. The vote on the measure
was 294 to 49, some opposition arising
from those Directing to the legalizing
of combinations of farmers and from
others who objected to the power given
to the secretary of agriculture.
The bill is similar to one which pass
ed both houses in the last session but
died in conference as a result of
deadlock over q senate amendment,
which was regarded by friends of the
bill as multiplying its purpose which Is
to make 1t clear that cooperative mar
keting of agricultural products Is not
in violation of antitrust laws.
Under the terms of the bill all but
actual farmers and associations not
operated for the mutual help of their
members are excluded. The associa-
tons must not pay dividends of more
than per cent per annum, the intent
of this provision being to compel pay
.ment to the members of as large a part
of the proceeds derived from the sale
of their products as possible instead of
paying 1t as dividend upon the money
used as capital.
While this bill confers on farmers
certain privileges, 1t cannot properly
be said to be class legislation, said
Representative Volstead in supporting
the BILL Business corporations have
under existing law all the powers and
privileges sought to be conferred ON
farm organization by this bill. Instead
of granting a class privilege, 1t aims to
equalize existing privileges by chang
ing the law applicable to the ordinary
business corporations so the farmers
can take advantage of 1t. 1t Is no an
swer that farmers may acquire the
status and secure the rights of busi-
ness corporation by deciding their
farms to a corporation. That Is mel
I0eT pTdcIlCal nor ueSlTdDle lIOiu any
standpoint. Without doing that they
cannot associate themselves together
for the mutual profit of the members
without being threatened with prosecu-
ton.
If 1t is safe not to place a limit
upon the size of an ordinary corpora
ton, there certainly is no reason to
fear monopoly from farm associations.
But In the event that any such assO-
citation should monopolize or restrain
trade so as to unduly enhance the
price of any agricultural product,
ample provision is made in the bill
to protect the public. The secretary
of agriculture, in a sundry fashion, can
grant relief, and he, with his expert
knowledge always at hand, can act
more expeditiously than could any
other agency. In the event an asso-
citation fails to abide by his judgment,
it cannot only be hailed into court but
a temporary injunction can at once be
issued against 1t.

"The government of the United

ticipation in matters of distinctly Eu-
ropean concern, is deeply interested
in the proper economic adjustments
and in the just settlement of the mat
tiers of world wide Importance which
are under discussion in the confer
ences and desires helpfully to coop
crate in the elaboration upon these
questions.
"Mr. George Harvey, appointed am

great international questions growing
out of the World War will be of ma
