British Labor's Report on Ireland.

Reports from England since the publication Of
the report OF the British Labor Commission on
Ireland, a summary of which has been published
in America, indicate that campaign will be launch
cd against the coalition government on the score
of its Irish policy.
An attempt will be' made to overcome the apathy
OF the English public with regard to Ireland and
by enlistng the aid of English Liberals who op-
pose the governments policy, TO force Lloyd
George and his associates to end the present
or to give way to government that will
The report is not concerned with the political
aspects OF the Irish question so much as with the
conduct Of the forces Of the crown and the respon-
sbility OF the government for the existing reign
of terror. In the opinion OF the committee the
government is largely responsible for the present
conditions through its approval of reprisals and in
its selection OF personnel for the forces of the
crown.
1t is significant that this report is signed by
former official OF the government and former gen.
cra officer of the army in addition to members of
the Labor party.
That the movement to bring about change in
the Irish policy is supported by such independent
liberals as Viscount Grey and Lord Robert Cecil
is encouraging to Americans who are hopeful that
peace may soon be restored in Ireland. 1t is
through the leadership Of such Englishmen, as
Lord Robert Cecil and Vscount Grey rather than
through agitation in America that the solution of
this question will be reached.

Economic Sectionaism.

Many large interests, if not whole classes
groups OF the people of this country, often
charged with failure realize world interdepcnd-
ence 1t is declared that through narrowed vision,
they fail TO that the prosperity of other peoples
IS an essential factor in the prosperity of the
United States.
They cling to theory that may profit all
alone; that we may gain at others cost without
action; that the United States having present ad
vantage, should consider only itself and can do so
| without penalty, and in the end gain dominance.
Such people, if there are such in numbers, would
revert nationally in their international attitude
the od-time Vanderbilt: "The public be damned"
The folly OF this, the economic impossibility Of
IT'S lasting success, is too apparent to need argu-
ment. Fear that some else may profit, we'll
as ourselves, through broader policy, would be-
come mania that would soon work ruin.
Yet it a feeling that this attitude interna-
tlonaly is reflected in sectional policy by this
class to domestic development, which
prompted H. H. Merrick, president of the Missis-
slpPi Valley Association to urge intersectional CO.
operation.
He argued for such hepiulness between sec
tons, such appreciation of the interrelated inter
estS OF the various parts OF common country,
that none would Interfere with the economic prog
ress of any other. HI might have gone farther and
rightly urged that all should help in the aspirations
Mr.. Mcrrick was referring directly to the de-
vcopment OF interior waterways. 1t impos-
Sible that any living within the economic area
subject to the benefits of ocean transportation,
could fail to realize the added benefit OF the full
development OF their hinterland-the Mississippi
Valley
1t is the great fertile, wealth producing of
this country Within its widespread boundaries,
reaching from the hcadwaters of the Ohio to the
hcadwatcrs of the Missouri more than in any other
divisibc section, lies the future greatness of the
United States.
As it Prospcrs, all must prosper As it grows
in wealth, in contcntmcnt in developed resources,
this will be directly reflected East and West 1t
contains within itself the whole national sweep
North and South
There is possibility OF national doubt that
the transportation of its waterways with the
outlet from its very heart to the via the St.
Lawrence River, would add enormously to its
wealth values.
There is Just little room for national doubt
that if left as now shut from reasonable access
the markets, it will droop and wither; will pos
sbly so backward and certainly cannot contribute
more than a small percentage Of its ability the
national wealth and basic economic strength.
Can any other part profit from this? Can any
other part fail pay its share of the penalty? No
sane businessman fail to answer in the negative.

features as well as attention to max
