Offer and Dali Eireann
Debates the Plan.
PEACE OR WAR FOR IRISH?
Boisheviks HaggIing Over American
Relief Terms-Tax Revision Bill In
the House-Ansell, Hunt and
cresson Accused of Con-
spiracy in BergdoIl Case.
ev EDWARD w. pIcKARD.

Ireland occupied the center Of the
world stage last week, and at this
writing it is uncertain whether she
will gain peace by accepting the Brit
ism governments offer of dominion
rule, or adopt the i~rreconcilable atti-
tude of De Valera and the other Sim
Fein leaders and thereby probably
bring upon herself a suicidal war with
Great Britain. In the closing days OF
the week Dali Eireann, the Sim Fem
parliament, was in secret session de-
batting the momentous problem. There
was a slight chance that 1t would not
indorse De Valera's rejection of the
Lloyd George offer, and another
chance that the plan would be sub
mitted to q plebfscite by which the
people of southern Ireland might In
struct their leaders to accept the do
minion rule offer.
1t was made evident that the Sim
Feiners were trying to bring Ulster in
to accord with the South so that the
conversations with the British govern
ment might be renewed and possibly
a counter offer made to Lloyd George.
The attitude hitherto assumed by Sir
James Craig and his colleagues did
not promise well for the success of
that effort. Indeed, Ulster has been
the stumbling block all through the
negotiations.
To the unprejudiced mind the Brit
ish offer seems extremely liberal, CIV
ing to Ireland equal membership as a
dominion in the British empire, with
full control of its finances, posts, army
and internal government, and demand
ing little except loyalty to the en-
pire, control of the seas about Ireland
and certain military and aviation
rights. 1t was specified, also, that
coercion should not be employed
against Ulster, and De Valera has de-
clared southern Ireland can be brought
into an Irish dominion without the
use of force. He meant by the use
of the commercial boycott and SINH
lar measures, but General SHUTS is
confident that time and experience
will bring about the same result ami
cably.

was the master mind in the plot by
which Bergdoll, whose attorney he
was, was released from military prison
under guard to dig up a pot of gold,
and the report recommends that he be
disbarred from practicing in the courts
of the nation "above whose safety and
integrity he placed gold" Colonel
Hunt is held directly responsible for
the escape of Bergdoll because he
neglected to have him h~andcuffed and
adequately guarded and Colonel Cres-

The tax revision bill was introduced
into the house and the fight for its
adoption began promptly under a spe-
cial rule which provided for final &C
ton at three o'clock Saturday after
noon. There vas little doubt that the
measure would be passed almost as
reported but there was a chance that
it might be changed in one important
respect. Just before 1t was introduced
the Republican members Of the house
in caucus ordered that 1t be altered
to provide that repeal of the excess
profits tax, substitution of an in
creased corporation tax and reduction
of the higher individual surtaxes
should become effective on income Of
the calendar year 1922 instead of
1921. This was not In accord with
the desires of the administration,
which believed the party was commit
ted to a revision OF the tax laws
which would apply to 1921 income, and
it was thought the action Of the
caucus might be reversed. The Dem
ocratic members of the house also
caucused and voted to fight the tax
bill, declaring in a resolution that it
is "~subversive of the principle that
should govern taxation for the sup
port of this government" and that it
relieves profiteers and taxpayers of
large incomes from their just share
of the load Of taxation and leaves an
unfair portion Of the burden to be
borne by the people Of moderate
means" Fifty-two Democratic mem
bers did not attend the party caucus.

believed they would petition the

In addressing Dali Eireann, De
Valera declared Lloyd George had not
offered TO Ireland the status of a do
minion government, because no Ire
land was mentioned in the terms, only
two broken pieces of Ireland; and be-
cause dominions have the right to
secede, but Ireland must stay within
the empire whether or o it wishes
to do so. Said he: "Only on a basis
of our recognition as an Irish repub-
lie will we deal with any nation or
foreign country whatever. The only
government the people of Ireland rec
ognize is the ministry of the Dali
Eireann.
He bitterly scored the British gov
eminent, declaring it was practically
impossible to negotiate with it be.
cause of its Rack of principle" and
cited the many Inconsistencies OF
Lloyd George; but the reservations in
his speech. expressed and implied,
seemed to leave the way open for
further negotiations.
Although Lloyd George declared his
offer was the utmost the British gov
eminent could make, 1t is just possible
a way may be found to satisfy the
Irish principle of independence. Dub.
lin correspondents call attention to
the fact that England already has
practically recognized the existence OF
the Irish republic by the dealings OF
the premier with De Valera and in
many other minor particulars. There

of accepting Lloyd Georges proposals,

far toward the Kemalist seat of gov
eminent at Angora while a fifth
moved north toward Ismid, which the
Turks were said to be evacuating. 1t
was reported again that the national
lists also were giving up Angora. The
Turks made a stand at the ancient
city of Gordium, nea the confluence
of the Pursak and Sakaria rivers,
which was used as a concentration
camp by Alexander the Great when he
invaded Persia.

1t is almost incredible, but true
nevertheless, that the B~Olshevik rul-
ers Of Russia were still haggling last
week over the terms on which Ameri-
cans should be permitted to undertake
the relief of the starving and pest
stricken millions of the Volga valley
and southern Russia. Day after day
Maxim Litvinoff, head of the soviet
famine relief commission, fenced with
Walter L.. Brown, chief of the Euro
pean section of the American relief
administration, yielding slowly and
reluctantly to Mr.. Browns demands,
suspicious like his fellow Bolsheviks
that any foreigners admitted to Rus
STA will take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to conspire to overthrow the
soviet regime. At this writing Lit
vinoff has given In on all points save
one. He still insists that the Boil
sheviks shall have the right to limit
the number Of relief workers and to
expel any of them. Meanwhile the
Russians are dying like flies for lack
of food and medicines.
1t is interesting to note that soviet
Russia has abandoned prohibition. A
decree has been issued permitting the
manufacture and sale of beverages
containing up to IA per cent Of al
cohol, which will be heavily taxed.
| Naturalization of real estate also has
been dropped and individuals are now
permitted to buy houses or land from
| the government. Having made pretty
much of a wreck of the country, Lenin
and Trotzky are gradually receding
from their impossible position.
China has cordially accepted the In.
vitation to the disarmament confer
ence in Washington, and Japan's note
Of acceptance has been prepared and
submitted to the cabinet in Tokyo fol-
approval. The Japanese reply, It is
understood, asks Limitation on the
questions to be discussed. The ac
ceptance Of France, which was a mere
formality. also was received early ir
the week, together with the assur
ance Of Premier BRAND that he will

Britain by a treaty as between two
free and Independent nations.
One thing is fairly certain: If the
British offer comes to naught and war
fare is resumed, the British govern
ment will start in whole-heartedly to
"clean up the Emerald ISLE" and that
with the practically unanimous sup
port of the people of the rest of the
empire. All factions in the United
Kingdom now admit that the premier
has made a sincere effort to pacify
Ireland and right her wrongs, and If
he feels compelled to defend the gov
ernment's position by force of arms,
his course will be generally justified.
Throughout the world the real friends
Of Ireland who have been watching
her struggle with interest and concern
will regret deeply the irreconcilability
Of her leaders. Already the British
are preparing for a possible resump-
ton Of hostilities.
