TALKS over PLANS
FOR REGIONS GOOD

Boston, May 16.-Five New Eng
land Industrial problems, including
the railroad situation, the develop
ment and restoration of agriculture
and the reasons why industries are
leaving the territory and what steps
should be taken to prevent further
loss of business, were taken up to-
day by the New England States
Council. The st. Lawrence water
way project with the supplementary
study of New England water sheds.
and the development of Boston har-
Dor, were other subjects considered.
Sub committees of the council, which
is composed of trade and business or
CARNATIONS, were assigned to make a
further study of the questions.
In a letter endorsing the movement
read at the meeting. Secretary Of
War John w. Weeks said:
New England has contributed
most generously of it's brains and re-
sources to the nation and it is now
her duty to give some consideration
first problem is the railroad situation.
If she would retain her place in the
commerce of the country and the
world she must safeguard her rail-
roads from financial disaster.
'Her second problem of importance
is the proper development Of the
port of Boston. New England's
greatest need is teamwork. She
should thresh out her controversies
over industrial problems at home and
present a solid front in congress in
her efforts to secure legislation for

CECIL HAS SCHEME
SEPARATE KINGDOM
FOR EMERALD ISLE

Belfast, May 16.-(By the Associat-
ed ess).-Lord Hugh Cecil, men,
Der of the privy council of England,
who is the guest of Lord Lond,onder-
rvs family in Mount Stewart, County
Down, has suggested a scheme by
which Ireland would be made an in
dependent kingdom. it's king to be a
member of the Windsor family, prob
ably the Prince of Wales, to be ap-
pointed by the King of England.
Under the scheme there would be
two small parliaments. one to be To-
Gated in Belfast and the other in Dub
lin, and in addition a "house of es-
tates' of 100 members. Complete
fiscal autonomy would be given Ire
land, but there would be a levy i'm
posed for imperial defense in proper
ton to the sum contributed by Eng
land for that purpose
Ireland, under the plan, would be
allowed to have an army but nc navy,
and III the event of war the King of
England could suspend the Irish con-
stitution. Irishmen in the colonies
would have the right to choose wheth-
CT they should he subjects of the Irish
or English king. f favorabiy receiv-
cd by the Irish leaders the scheme
would be submitted to a constituent
assembly.
Some of the southern Irish leaders,
I including John Dillon. to whom the
scheme was outlined. described it as
| 'preposterous." Lord Hugh Cecil in
discussing the scheme said he still
| favored union, but as that no longer
was practical politics and federalism
did not satisfy the Irish who wanted
distinct nationality. England must
go as far in the direction they wanted
as possible. Whatever plan was pro-
posed he declared, must be one franz
ed and approved by the Irish, but also
acceptable to the British. Lord Hugh
then outlined his plan, adding: Il
write this in no spirit Of optimism 4"
The significance Of Lord Hugh's pro-
posal comes from the fact that he is
the guest of the Londonderry family.
the greatest member Of which was
Lord castlereach. to whom, more than
10 anybody else. the breaking up of
Henry Grattan's irish parliament and
the passing of act of union in 1880
were due.
