st. Patrick's day did not usher In
the much discussed truce or even I'M
portant negotiations for peace in Ire
land. That such negotiations are not
brewing and probable, cannot be
stated so positively. Undoubtedly
strong agencies are working toward
the opening of negotiations. In view
of the determined stand of the British
government and the equally strong at
titude Of the Sim Fem, some change
in conditions must present itself be-
fore either side feels like altering its
position. Lloyd George is reported to
favor postponing action on peace UNI
I'll after the elections of the new Irish
parllaments, believing that they will
result in new Dali Elreann with
which he would be willing TO negotiate
a truce. Meanwhile the state of af'
fairs In the unhappy country continues
very bad with the daily toll of muir
ders, executions and disturbances
large and grlevous.

nounced opposition to obtaining 1t by
an increase in II ght rates, as much
Of the current business depression and
low rail earnings Is said to be due
to high freight tariffs which dlscour-
age shipments.
Railroad officials contend that re-
lief should start with lower pay rolls.
Naturally, the employees cannot see
1t. Union officials claim that the rail
roads are purposely loading up the
railroad labor board with complaints
and cases so that there will be
long delay In adjudlcatng the present
question, while In the meantime the
roads get the benefits of the wage re-
auctions ordered. The whole thing Is
so acute and at the same time so in
volved, that 1t Is very likely to be
subject Of congressional action at an
early date.

Russia's revolution seems to have
been checked temporarily at least, with
the evacuation of Kronstadt, restora-
ton of more or less orderly condi-
ton In Moscow and the removal of the
immediate menace to Petrograd. The
operations of the revolutionaries
around the latter place were doomed
to failure when they failed to take
the stronger defenses Of the city such
as fortress Krasnaya Gorka.
The Red government has been sue
cessful, but Its weakened hold Is seen
In the fact that the revolution move
ment started among the soldiers and
sailors, the forces which made the
establishment of the government pos
sible and heretofore have been its
strongest adherents.
AS indicative of the seriousness
with which the government is menaced,
and Its desire to placate other ma
lions Is the ratification Of peace with
Poland and signing Of the long dis
cussed trade agreement with Great
Britain. The Russians had been re-
ported as massing heavy forces OPP
posite the Polish frontier and max
ing strong threats Of spring Often
sive. But now they want peace. III
the negotiations with Great Britain,
which have been long drawn out and
the subject of arbitrary appearance,
at least on the part of the soviet au-
thorities, they have capltulated In
several respects, the most important
being an agreement to cease all prop
uganda In other countries. Great
Britain agrees on her part not to mix
In Russian internal affairs.

President Harding has announced
that he will call the sixty-seventh con-
gress into extraordinary session April
II. The tariff and tax programs have
not been definitely mapped out, al
though the statement Is made from au-
thoritative sources that the President
approves the proposal Of Republican
congressional leaders to pass a bill
preventing the dumping Of cheap for
eign goods In the United States. A
feature of this legislation will be
section or a special bill placing the
valuation Of imports on a domestic
instead of foreign basis.
Any tariff legislation is almost GER
tain to be of a preliminary nature as
the vast number of schedules to be
dealt with In a permanent bill will re-
quire many weeks consideration
probably into the middle of the sum
mer. One of the talked about fea-
lures of the preliminary bill is an
emergency tariff on agricultural prod
ucts. The administration has not
been authorltatively committed to this
provision although 1t has strong sup
port in influential Republican circles.
In response to the demands of bust
ness, tax legislation will come up for
consideration Immediately after, If
not before, the temporary tariff bill.

countries to the point Of exercising
pressure for relief.
If the German government has no
other plan in the back Of its head I'd
as the entire matter is largely one of
economics, 1t will be solved by an
unusual economic method--the appli-
cation Of tariff principles to war prob
lems-not an entirely new method, but
one which never before has been ap-
piled on such an extensive scale. The
spectacle then arises Of victOrs max
ing forcible but otherwise peaceful
occupation of conquered nation, ex-
erclsing supervision over its trade
and industries, and collecting in the
form of duties-sanctions Is the dip
l0matic word used to cover the raml-
ficatlons of the transaction-the repa-
ratons demanded
II will be interesting to watch the
methods by which the allies shall pre-
vent German goods escaping the tariff

trail nations. Already a modified
blockade has been suggested, along
with an occupation of all the land
borders, extending inward If resist
ance develops, of Germany. To this
end comes an intimatlon, probably
most skillfully steered from Paris,
that Poland Is ready to invade Ger
many at a moments notice. The al
lied Rhineland high commission has
In effect recommended to the council
of the allied nations that tariff sched-
ules shall not be imposed which will
crush the industries of the Rhineland
territory. but shall have a punitive
effect upon Germany.
The plebiscite in Upper Silesia Is
expected to affect the situation. If
Germany loses that rich territory she
will be liz position to claim still
farther her inability to meet the repa-
rations. II the election throws the
country to Germany her economic po-
sition will be improved. In either
event an excuse will be presented for
further negotiations.
