MESSAGE TO ULSTER

London, May Z (by the Associ-
ated Press. l-Eamonn De Valera,
Irish republican leader, writing in
the Irish Independent of Dublin to-
day in what the newspapers char
acterize as remarkably concilia-
tory message to Ulster, says
I'VE shall never cease to main
tain that there is a community of
interest between our countrymen OF
the northeastern corner of Ireland
and our people of the south and
west. For all their misunderstood
ings and prejudices, artificially
created for the most part. we be (.
lieve the men of Ulster, reft from
us by statute. but maintained to us
by higher laws look on ireland as
their contry and in their hearts
cherish the Irish name. In the
eighteenth century Ulster felt pro-
foundry her unity at the rest of
Ireland. She will do so again.
May that day come soon"

POSTOFFICE MEN

have rendered their resigna-
tons on the spot, but fortu-
nately cooler counsel prevailed.
The idea of offering real
Westerners automatic pistols to
stop mail bandits. ANY man
who has carried a long IA for
the most of his life and can hit

the woody regions of western
Texas, where six-gun is the

Safer to Leave Taxltion

Especial Correspondence to The Journal. }
santa Fe, May state School
Superintendent John v. Conway
in an interview today, declared
himself for the defeat of the con-
stitutional amendment holding lev
les for school purposes under Is
mills.
Here are my arguments for
leaving the mileage the way it is
he said.
ut is safer to leave these mat
ters to the county commissioners,
who are the creatures of the peo-
pie, than the tax commission
which is the creature of one man.
There's whore lot of difference
between an elective and am APP
pointive officer. One is responsible
to the people and the other to one
man.
"Give People Freedom
the people of the county ought
to be allowed to tax themselves
Just exactly what they want for
the schools--or for any other pur-
pose. For the schools they ought
to be allowed to go as far as they
want to 60"
Mr.. Conway then referred to the
agreement between the education
associations legislative committee
and the senate educational COM
mittee by which the former gave
up their demand for the $1,000
salary minimum for first grade
teachers on condition that the pres
ent limit for school levies-18 mills
would not be lowered. The pro-
posed amendment lowers this linn
it. 1t makes the maximum 10 mills
although it can be boosted S mills
provided the consent of the tax
commission is obtained.
Educators Approve Change.
The city and county school SUI
perintendents' conference declared
against this proposed amendment
and also the budget amendment in
Santa Fe recently, but Mr.. Conway
touched the second proposal only
lightly, saying he wished to make
a thorough going study of it be-
fore coming out squareiy against
it. The objection to this, as voiced
at the conference, was that it gave
the governor the power of fixing
the appropriations for the educa-
tional institutions.
Mr. Conway said Governor Me-
chem told him that fair treatment
for the institutions could be ex-
pected from him and, he believed,
his successors in the chief exeeu-
tive's office.
Mr.. Conway added that the edu-
cational association would under
take an active campaign for the
defeat of the levy-limiting amend
ment and probably the other at the
election of September 20.

 WORKING RAPIDLY ON PLANS

reduce her army to half its former strength but which will still leave Q force considered necessary to maintain security.
 Chairman Hughes assured Premier Briand that the United States fully realized the position in which France finds herself, and agreed with the premier that the world needs a will to peace"
 Balfour, of the British delegation. told the conference that the British attitude on the question of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, to which objection has been made by China, is no different now from what 1t was when recently explained by Premier Lloyd George. who said that 1t would be improper to tell Japan, you stood by Us during the war, but we do not need you now, so good bye"
 Replying to the statement of Pre- mier Briand, the British spokesman pledged Britain's support to France in the face Of the lust for domina- tion."
 Senator Schanzer told the confer ence that although Italy thought 100000 just. ''her army plans are being made for a reducton.'
 Kato said that Japan wants only such an army as is absolutely necessary for purely defensive pur- poses, necessitated by the Far East ern situation"
 The precise attitude of Japan on a number Of points is becoming more and more a big question. At the convening of the Far Eastern conference yesterday morning, the delegates looked to Japan for some hint that would reveal just what trend the negotiations were taking with regard to China, but there has been no indication as to what the final stand of this nation will be, and no information IS expected until there have been a further inter- change of communications between the Japanese delegation and the government at Tokio.
The Nenana news., 1921-11-22

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 22- All present indications point to an understanding rather than a treaty as the final form for the Far Eastern agreement. This would not require senate confirmation.
 It Is hinted that the naval agree ment may also take that form. but this is one Of the details remaining to be adjusted by the conference.
 Opinions have been exchanged among the delegates with such un- precedented direcness that some Of the experts and diplomats believe they can see, even with precision, what will and what will not be pos sible. The heads of the British, Jap anese and American delegations are conferring personally nearly every day, and the indications are that an agreement on all but the details is near at hand.
 In addition to the whole question at issue, the question of land arma- ment seems to be pretty well set tied. There remains, however. the important question of fortifcations, upon which there has been no ex- pressiop, but which is expected to come forward shortly
 The conference committee on Far Eastern affairs has adopted unani- mously the resolution drafted and presented by Elihu Root, declaring for territorial and administrative in tegrity for China, and the agreement embodying the resolution has been signed by eight powers, China hav- ing refrained from signing as the resolution concerned herself.
 Al yesterdays session of the dis armament conference, the French premier, Briand, told the delegates that Germany. while apparently dis armed, coul, with her present ma chinery, raise an army of between six and seven million men and, he added, at least a quarter Of a mil lion Germans are receiving daily military instructions. He stated, in addition, that while part of Ger many wants peace, there Is another portion, headed by Ludendorf and others of military caste, who con- tinue to preach the old Prussian doctrines. ..:>.......-.-...- .......:. .-...
 In dramatic speech, the premier outlined what is being held at the door of France" which, he added, wants peace, but how can any one ask France to disarm under such conditions?" He informed the con ference that France proposes to to
