in the house Friday on a point
of order. During consideration
Of the diplomatic appropriation

providing a salary Of $4,000
for a minister to Ireland. In
stantly half a dozen represent

Mason is Challenged.
Chairman Rogers of the sub-com-
mittee on appropriations in charge of
the bill, challenged the right of the
house to include such an amendment,
on the ground that it was without au-
thority of law and that there had been
no executive recognition of Ireland
Mr.. Mason declared the question of
policy with respect to Ireland should
be determined by congress on it's mer-
its and not on parliamentary point.
Harding is Dubious.
AS the appropriation. if authorized,
would not be available until July,
Representative Connolly, Democrat, of
Texas, also member of the foreign
affairs committee, asked if Mr.. Mason
had any indication or assurance that
Mr.. Harding would designate min

OF the near East division of the Ameri-

for the plight of Armenia. "by de-
fault with all Eastern affairs as it
had not declared war not Turkey, he
deplored the nations refusal to ac-
