President Harding adopted a far
reaching policy when he took definite
stand to-day in refusing to allow
American military and naval forces
stationed in the vicinity Of Boston to
participate in a demonstration OBJ
viously intended 70 further the agita-
ton for Irish freedom.
The position he took, that American
soldiers and sailors "can have no part
in any demonstration which may be
construed as influencing the foreign
relation Of the Republic" was con-
sidered here to ba precisely in line
with the announcement he made in
the campaign that the Irish situation
was not an affair for the United States
Government
The statement of policy was made
in the form OF telegram after a long
conference with Secretary of State
Hughes and Secretary OF War Weeks.
In the opinion of President Harding
and Secretaries Hughes and Weeks the
carrying of the flag of the Irish Re-
public" in a parade in which Ameri-
can soldiers and bluejaclSets partici-
pated would have made il embarrass-
ing for the United States Government
in situation already strained through
inaction in the past.
The telegram was sent to John f.
Harrigan of the Massachusetts, Council
of the American Association for the
Recognition OF the Irish Republic. II
was signed by George 3. Christian, Jr..
secretary to the President. and read:
Your telegram has been called TO the
attention OF the President. and he di-
rects me to say In reply that army and
navy commanders have authority -
direct the forces under their command.
The Government raises no issue about
the fitness OF your celebration Of Evacu-
alton Day, and the spirit of st. Patricl's
Day is felt throughout our country. but
the naval and military forces of the ma
ton can have no part in any demon
stration which may be construed as in
fluencing the foreign relations Of the
Republic"
This message was sent In answer to
one received from Mr.. Harrlgan protest
ing against the action OF Brig. Gen.
Ruckman and Rear Admiral Dunn. COM
msnding the army and navy forces In
and around Boston. In this message
Mr.. Harrigan demanded to know
whether the officers We're Americans
or satellites OF foreign governments"
Are they autocrats," he said "or is
this democracy? They say no author
ity can revoke this decree. II is for
Washington TO say whether they are
supreme. As Americans we demand nc
ton in the name OF $4,000 citizens OF
our State now and the revocation of the
orders from Ruckman and Dunn"

SETTLING DOWN TO WORK

Charles NJ. Schwab, chairman OF the
board of the Bethlehem Steel Corpo-
ration, who sailed hence six weeks
ago on a recuperatiye European trip.
returned yesterday BY the White Star
liner Olympic, looking and feeling un-
usually brisk and cheerful. and ready.
as he declared. to go back into harness
again with all his heart One OF the
first things he did after arriving at
his home in Riverside Drive was to
take an observational spin over the
city in an automobile. which helped
him TO appreciate It's marvels az con-
trasted with those of European capi-
tails.
Although Mr. Schwab. accompanied
by his friend DR.. S. A. Brown, toured
only France and italy. he devoted
some time getting in touch with con-
ditions in Germany through talks with
German manufacturers and econo-
mists. Germany will recover from
the effects of the world war;" he said,
much sooner perhaps than any other
Of the European countries involved IN
It. I noted thar France and Italy were
getting on their feet swiftly, but from
the information obtained 1 am con-
fident that the world 8-ill have TO look
out for Germany as a possible com
petitor In much shorter time than is
generally allotted to her.
II believe. however that the United
States need have no fear OF being out
stripped By Germany industrialiy. and
In regard TO shipping l have no doubt
that We Will still retain the lead We
have achieved and are achieving.
Germany is conquered country and
her people are aware OF IT. but they are

TO win back what he has lost by hard
secret of Germanys previous Industrial
success was the efficiency Of her work.

that training that is necessary to win

lures. Business is bad of course In
Germany as IN all other countries, In
Guiding America, but Il is on the mend"
Mr.. Schwab was unwilling to talk just
yet about the subject or reparatlons and
did not care 10 discuss the exchange
question. He said he believed that a
moderate protective tariff, enough 20
save the American worker from being
harmed b. the competition Of foreign
goods, might be necessary 10 the United
States. In his audience with the Pope

FRANCE is not yet ready to
forget the transgressions of
Joseph Caillaux. This was evil
denced yesterday at Grenoble,
when the onetime Premier, who
was banished last year, was
scheduled to deliver a lecture on
Republicanism. Royalists and
labor organizations joined in the
rioting outside the Eall, and
placarded the city condemning
the Governments inability to
keep Caillaux quiet.
Troops and police eventually
quelled the disturbances after
many persons had been injured.
The lecture was delivered before
a small audience, protected by
troops. Mime. Caillaux, herself
notorious as the slayer of the
French editor M. Calmette, re-
fused to remain with her hus-
band and returned to their home
on the outskirts of Paris.
