CARSON AND CRAIG MAKE
ATTACK ON AGREEMENT

London. December 14.-In q scene
which is likely to prove a landmark
in English history, the Irish treaty
was today presented in the imperial
Parliament for ratification while the
Dali Eireann at Dublin INDUCED in
heated debate turning on Eamon De-
Valera's charge that the Irish pleni-
potentiaries exceeded their powers in
signing the treaty without further
reference, to Dublin.
Neither the Commons nor the Dali
Eireann however has yet come to
grips on the actual decision respect
ing ratification, which has been post
poned until tomorrow.
A feature of the debates in West
minister was a bitter attack on the
government by Lord Carson in the
House of Lords and Captain Charles
Craig. Irish unionist, In the House
of Commons. Lord Carson especially
showed not the slightest diminution
of his time denunciation Of any
accommodation with nationalist Ire
land He dared the government to
do anything to stir Ulster against
the empire and<explained: Because
Ulster is loyal. you think you can
kick her as you like"
II promise you" he continued. that
she Will keep out OF this agreement.
You have tried to make her position
impossible. I believe you told the
Sim Fein delegates to do SO. Why
has the Sim Fein in this treaty been
given an army, IL not to invade us
ter? Was 1t TO invade America or
the channel islands?''~
The tone of his whole speech was
one OF unrelenting hostility to a set
tlement.
Premier Lloyd Georges speech in
the Commons was less of an oratori-
cal display Of defense of the treaty,
which had been expected, than q care
full exposition of the agreement and
its Implications, with view to put
ting the House In possession of the
complete mind of the government for
settlement. He declared that the
treaty had been receiving unstinted
praise from the King and British do
mlnions and could not be regarded as
inimical to the countrys interests.
listers official responsibility has
also been delayed until tomorrow. but
1t is known that 1t rejects the invi-
tation to enter the Irish Free State.

ceipt- of several letters from well
known women of the state volunteer

MIR. Cramton said he was convinced

state who have been given the ballot

Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs of Biz

JAPAN Announces
ACCEPTANCE OF RATIO

Toxic, December 14.-Acceptance
of the naval ratio of the conference
on Limitation of armament was an
nounced in a bulletin this morning
ending weeks of speculation and ar
gument in the press and confer
ences in political cigcles. The an
nouncement created general salts
faction and gave welcome relief for
the tension under which the vari-
Gus elements Of population had been
laboring.
There had been apparent for
sometime a desire on tho part of
members of the cabinet to see an
end to the negotiations and compile
ton of an agreement along the
lines originally proposed at wash
ington. provided always that Jap
ans interests were safeguarded.
The spirit animating the ministry
was voiced by viscount Uchida,
the foreign minister, who In the
course of a report to the cabinet
council yesterday pointed out, ac-
cording to the official organ of the
government, 1.-THE blind persistency
of claiming q 70 ratio. not only Is
inimical to the spirit Of Limitation
Of armament but is detrimental to
the eventual success OF the confer
cree.
while II is certain there will
be widespread disappointment, for
sentimental reasons or otherwise
over the exclusion of the battle
ship Mitsu on which so much at
tention has been conferred, IL is re-
garded in official circles that the
Importance attaching to the Mutsu
has been largely overcome by the
entente and likely will be com
p1etely eliminated by the anticipated
Notifications compact.
While there continues to be some
adverse criticism in the newspapers
over the quadruple entente. the dis
position of the people generally,
after sober contemplation Of .ne
treaty, appears to be in favor of
its acceptance as evidence of good
faith of all the participants in the
treaty.

Memphis, December IA def
mite step toward closer cooperation
with other denominations in the
cause of Chrictian education was
taken here today at the sessions of
the Educational Association of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
when, by unanimous vote, the con-
vention agreed to the appointment
of a committee to confer with the
Baptist and Southern Presbyterian
educational boards on a broad pro-
gram for educational advancement
in colleges of the various southern
churches.
Although not specifically stated in
the resolution, 1t was advocated by
several speakers that this move to-
ward educational cooperation should
be extended to other denominations
having colleges in southern states.
The action was taken on the request
of the Rev. DR.. A. r. Bond OF Biz
mingham, secretary of the Baptist
educational board. DR.. w. P. Few,
president of the association, an
nounced that the committee would be
appointed tomorrow.
Pleas were made by speakers for
a broader tolerance and greater
recognition by the Southern Metho-
dist church to those state schools
and colleges where religious training
is not part of the course of study.
Regret was expressed by the minis
ters discussing the subject that God
is too often left out of the schools of
America"
The Methodist church today must
keep abreast of the progress of the
world. and no advancement is pos
sible if the eyes OF those in charge
of the forward movement are kept
turned back to the ideals and accom-
plishments of the past" DR.. Few

lions reasonable. and that accord
ingly it would not be legal to main
tain higher rates now.
Mr.. Reed, attacking the suspension
proposal. said that essentially the
grain reductions had been sought to
meet emergencies in the agricultural
industry, but that there had been
startling contrast" between the eN-
petition with which the railroadc had
secured rate advances in 1920 ami
the delays encountered by the west
ern states effort.

said. but in the stocking of the

Economic Grounds
Mr.. Thorn pleaded for consideration
of suspension and substitution "oa
broad economic grounds, not on legal
consideration" and asserted the roads
had been met with denunciation and
belittlement.'
Railroad traffic officials declared
they were ready to make the 10 per
cent general reduction effective De-
cember 81, The commissions orders,
unless changed by the rehearing to-
day, will require rates on bread

in addition require 10 per cent
