TREATY WILL
Be APPROVED
Collins and Griffith Faction
Gaining Strength in
Ireland
DE VALERA FEELS
RESENTMENT
That the Document Was
Not Presented to Him
for Approval

Dublin, Dec. ID lBy the Associated
Press As the Dali Eireann met to-
day for the continuation Of its secret
session, it was declared by supporters
Of Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith
that they and the other signers Of the
Irish peace agreement now felt certain
of an ultimate majority in favor Of
the treaty.
They declared no prominent person
in any part of Ireland had yet pro-
tested against their action in signing
an agreement with the British cabinet.
President De Valera's objections were
stated to be to certain details Of the
treaty, which he thinks would have
been improved if it had been re-sub-
mitted to him and the Dali cabinet
before it was signed.
The general impression in Dublin
to-day was that Lord Carson's speech
in the House Of Lords last night had
helped Collins and Griffith in their
fight in the Dali, for the treaty's rati-
fication. 1t was pointed out in this
connection that Lord Carson had pis.
tuyed the English action toward Ulster
in d light that bore ont the prediction
Of Michael Collins III his famous speech
at Armagh last September, when he
said that England would use Ulster
as long as it suited her purpose and
then throw her over.
As. to Mr.. DE VaIera's position with
regard to the treaty. 1t is asserted that
when the governments proposals were
submitted to the Dali cabinet on Sep
tember 3. certain objections were made
which Mr.. De valels does not think
were Adequately met IN the final draft.
+ The secret session is occupied With
a discussion Of these points, and it was
said, after last nights adjournment
that the members had got no farther
along In their discussion than they
were when the public session was con-
cluded carly yesterday afternoon.

A NEW
DODGE

In seeking to create criticism of the
Harding administration for not re-
plying to notes from the League of
Nations the internationalists are try
ing a new dodge and one which will
be as futile as the Others Secretary
Hughes is very automatically carry
ing on his correspondence concern
ing international matters with the
powers themselves. To enter into cor
respondence with the League would
be quickly seized upon by it's support
ers as a recognition of it's authority
in diplomatic matters. and the United
States does not recognize the au-
thority of the League in anything.
The attempt of the League to take a
hand in the proposed disarmament
conference is another example of the
pestiferous propensity of the League
officials to interfere. The quicker
that old corpse is buried in quicklime
the healthier the atmosphere will be

ENGLAND'S
BAD FAITH

England has just ordered the build
ing of four more large battleships of
the first class, to cost approximately
$40,000,000 each, in all something like
$160.0000 900, and this in the face of
the fact that she already has the big
gest navy in the world. Ordinarily
there would be nothing strange or out
of the way in this, as England has al
ways maintained the supremacy of
the seas with her gigantic navy, but
there are two reasons just now why
this sort of a program and policy
seems to be directly opposite to act
ing in good faith with the United
States.

ment on the part of the United

A SAMPLE
OF INEFFiCIENCY

The inability of a government man.
ager to run a business economically
was illustrated in the case of rail-
road shop during the period of gov
eminent control. 1t is related that
the work got behind and in order to
try to catch up, the men were offered
double pay for working Sunday. They
worked Sunday but laid off on Mon
day, thus doing only six days work,
but getting double pay for one of
the days. A private manager would
not have permitted such a condition
to exist.

FEEDING
RUSSIA

We note in dispatches from Wash
ington that as reward for releasing
about twenty Americans who have
been held prisoners in Russia by the
Lenine-Trotsky government, America
is to furnish food for about million
sufferers over there. And at dis
lance 1t looks as though it might have
been a well thought out scheme on
the part of the Bolshevist leaders,
who are directly responsible for fam
inc conditions, to secure relief from
the outside. Naturally we do not
want to withhold a crust that will
give comfort to hungry man, woman
or child. Americas big heart would
not be what the world knows 1t to be
II she refused even one in distress.
But 1t does seem to us, everything
considered, that at the same time
we are furnishing this food there
should be some way devised to punish
those who made it's giving necessary
and who imprisoned our own people
without reason or excuse. Lenine and
Trotsky are red-handed criminals of
the worst type. We are certain every
citizen of Winnemucca will agree
with us there. Then why should they
not be called to account for bringing
about conditions which make it neces-
sary for this or any other nation to
feed million starving people?
We are not making bid for
another war-nor for even skirm-
ish For it would require neither a
war or a skirmish to straighten up
that Russian outfit as 1t should be
Strengthened up. Lock Lenine and
Trotsky in the same prison in which
they locked Americans. and Russia
would not only return thanks to her
rescuers but she would start at once
on the road that leads to prosperity
and happiness.

mad rush of spending billions on war
preparation and the discontinuance
of constructing more battleships and
other engines of death and destruc-
ton.
England has agreed to the parley
and presumably fayors the disarma-
ment to the extent proposed; so in
conformity with such agreement, it is
to send its leading men here. but be-
fore they leave to attend the paley
orders are given for the construction
Immediately of four more big battle
ships, at a cost of $160.000.000. If
this Is not bad faith, what is it?
The second matter bearing on this
action is the fact that while it owes
us billions of borrowed money. and
makes no effort to even pay the in
terest on it, it authorizes useless ex-
penditures like this. England would
appear in a better light before the
world if it would use some of its mil
lions toward at least paying the in
terest on its honest debts.

A NEW
DISEASE

A minister not thousand miles
from Winnemucca. who is too mod
est to allow his name to be used
has discovered new disease. In de-
scribing it he says the patient shows
no symptoms on Saturday night.
awakes Sunday feeling fine and eats a
hearty breakfast About church time
the attack come on and keeps him or
her at home. About noon the patient
feels hungry and eats good dinner.
In the afternoon he is able to walk
out. He comes back and eats a hearty
supper but just about church time
there is another attack. He retires
early, sleeps well. and on Monday
morning Is able to get up and go to
work The disease never makes its
appearance except on Sunday, and
never interferes with sleep or appe-
tite The pastor says there is no cure
for it but faith, and that it is a di-
sease which is yearly carrying thou
sands to the devil. He suggests that
a very appropriate name for it would
be Sunday sickness"
