American participation in the
allied councils of Europe will be
strictly limited to urotecting the
rights and interests % this CcGntry
The administration. it is stated on
highest authority. wishes it en-
phatically understood that it will
not involve itself in problems of
strictly European concern
This word. pointedly expressed
yesterday. tended to have a quiet
ing effect upon certain irreconcil-
ables who professed to see the
Harding foreign policy making for
general political and economical en-
tanglements with Europe. II came
directly in response TO inquiries as
to whether the United States wo I'D
act with the allies in the present
Silesian embroglio, as result Of
its voice in allied councils.
Our Rights Unaffected.
The Silesian difficulty is regarded
W INC dS one OIL
those problems of concern solely
to Europe, at least for the present
and does not affect rights of the
United States. Hence this govern
ment will not become involved in it
For some days there has been IN
creasing manifestations of alarm
in some Senate irreconcilable quar-
ters, not at the actual re-estab-
lishment of the United States on
the allied councils. but at what this
step might eventually lead TO.
This feeling had been reported TO
President Harding and it possibly
was the purpose to soothe the ir-
ritation that the authoritative in
depreciation of the administra-
tons position was uttered Thurs
day.
While the United States note of
acceptance to the supreme council.
resulting in our representation in
that council. the council of ambas-
sadors and the reparations commits
sion, made il specific and clear that
we would not involve ourselves in
matters pertaining strictly to Eu-
rope, the delay in going ahead with
the Knox resolution had aroused
the suspicious of some Senators to
the point where IL was deemed ad-
visable to reassure them. 1t is the
hope Of the administration that
there will be no embarrassing
fare-up in the Senate which might
obstruct the development of Hard
ing's foreign policy.

WOULD PUNISH AGENTS
ACTING WITHOUT WRIT

WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.-Under
an agreement reached late Wednes-
day by senate and house conferees
on the WiIlis-Campbell anti-beer bill
the house substitute for the Stanley
amendment adopted by the senate
relating TO searches and seizures
without warrants was rewritten to
impose penalties on federal agents
who conduct searches without rea-
sOnable" cause and who enter pri-
vate dwellings, in search OF liquor
without search warrants.
As rewritten, conferees said to-
night, the amendment does not con-
tain the house provision limiting the
issue of search warrants covering
private residen0s TO cases where
there is reason to believe that liquor
is being manufactured for sale or
sold on the premises.
All other amendments were re-
tanned and Senator Sterling. repub-

ment 10 senate conferees who were

Dali EIREANN TO
HOLD CLOSED MEET
Irish Republican Leaders Will
Discuss Great Britain
Peace Proposals.

DUBLIN, Aug. 1.-THE Dali
Eireann will 20 into secret session
to discuss the British gov
ernmenrs proposals for peace with
the reiterated words of Eamonn De
Valera still fresh in the minds of its
members: THE Dali Eireann cannot
and will not on behalf of Ireland
accept the terms offered"
At the second session of the par
lament hold Wednesday in the
mansion house, Mr.. De Valera again
dealt with the British offer. Again
he insisted that nothing less than
independence for ireland was in the
minds of the Irish leaders. He
stressed his viewpoint that the
status of dominion government had
not been made TO Ireland.
Two FaIsehOOds.
The statement that such a gov
eminent had been offered contained
two falsehoOds. he pointed out.
There was no Ireland mentioned in
the terms, only two broken pieces of
ireland. Dominions had the right
to secede, but the Irish republic
must stay within the empire whether
it desired to do so or not, he said.
During his address Mr.. De Valera
held out the olive branch to Ulster
by declaring that in entering into
negotiations for a settlement of the
controversy. northern Ireland need
not give up its own point of view.
He said he would tie willing to sug-
gest that the Irish people give up a
good deal in order that Ireland
might be able 10 view the future
without anticipating distracting in
ternal problems"
Mr.. De Valera declared again that
the claims of the minority in Ire
land, as represented by the Ulster
ties, were wrong, but added that he.
for one. would be ready TO go "A long
way 10 give in 10 Ulster IF we could
get them to come with us and con-
slider the interest OF their own coun-
try and not be allying themselves
with foreigners"
