(ey Associated Press.) }

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Indirect
recognition of the republic of Ireland
was knocked out in the house today
on a point of order.
During consideration Of the diplo-
matte appropriation bill, Representa-
tive Mason, republican, Illinois, a
member of the foreign affairs COM
mittee, offered an amendment pro-
viding for a salary of $4,000 for a
minister to Ireland. Instantly half a
dozen representatives were on their
feet. Chairman Rogers of the sub
committee of appropriations in charge
of the BILL challenged the right of the
house to include such an amendment
on the ground that it was without
authority of law and that there had
been no executive recognition of Ire
land.
Before the point was sustained by
Representative Towner, republican of
Iowa, presiding, Mr.. Mason declared
the question of policy with respect to
Ireland should be determined by con-
gress on it's merits and not on a pre-
lininary point. AS the appropriation,
If authorized, would not be available
until July, Representative ConnaI1y,
democratic member of the foreign af-
fairs committee, from Texas, asked if
Mr.. Mason had any indication of as
surance. that Mr.. Harding would des-
ignate minister to Ireland
81 have no promises but l have
hopes" Mr.. Mason replied
I'VE all know, however, that Presi-
dent Wilson is not inclined TO favor
recognition"
