BY COL. EDWARD M. HOUSE.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 10
Now that the Washington confer
ence is coming to grips with con
clusions and is putting into concrete
form the purposes for which it was
called, spooks are being seen in
many directions. We are hearing
again the same voices which were
raised against the ratification Of the
Versailles treaty, and the old argu-
ments are being furnished up and put
forth as new. We are told that the
President is getting us into en-
tangling alliances and that he is lead
ing us into the League Of Nations by
the back door.
1t Is said the four power treaty might
lead US easily into war with Italy or
some power not Sisnatory to that treaty.
The reasoning is that We morally bind
ourselves to protect the territorial integ-
rity of the islands OF the Pacific, and in
doing so we may become involved in
war with other nations. Argument IS
brought forth that European war in
cludes the Pacific as much as If it orig
mated there. Germany began a European
war, and in consequence lost her posses
sions in Africa and Asia. Likewise, if
France and Italy should war upon one
another and Italy should win it would
be morally incumbent upon US 10 help
France hold her Asiatic possessions.
To those opposing the four power
treaty. may we not ask If it is not better
than the two-pOwer treaty which 1t dis
places? The chief objection to it should

the State highway commission and the
Governor today. 1t was announced that
the conference will be continued tomor-

Following the meeting the Governor
said that the commission is agreed that
the specifications should be changed but
that it is not agreed as to the details of
the changes.
MY idea is to build concrete roads that
are just as good as brick roads and
asphalt roads and brick and asphalt
roads as good as concrete roads, the
Governor said. II do not care what
kind of material is used in the roads so
long as they are Of equal quality. l don't
want one kind of a road on which the
people will realize 100 per cent on their
investment and another on which they
will realize 15O per cent. Neither do /
want any particular material to have an
unfair advantage"
Under the present srecifica tions. It is
almost generally agreed, the concrete
roads are much inferior to brick and
asphalt roads. Because Of this fact, bids
on concrete roads always are far below
those on other types, with the result that
thus far every road has been built of
concrete The specifications, as they are
now drawn, were made under the Good
rich commission and under the super
vision of L. H. Wright, director of that
commission.
Because of the failure of the commits

postponed.

the rejection of the Irish treaty was made
in the public session of Dali Eireann to-
day by Eamonn De Valera. 1t was sec
ended by Austen Stack, a member of
the Sim Fein cabinet.
Rather than ask the people to accept
such document, I would ask them to
continue in slavery" said De Valera.

In seconding the motion to reject the
treaty, Stack said:
Il attack this section because the treaty
makes the Irish British subjects. 1t was
not for this that our patriots died"
Arthur Griffith made 4 fighting speech
in favor of the pact. He read a letter
from Premier LloXd George promising
equality with Canada and Australia and
also a place in the League Of Nations
for Ireland.
Griffith warned the Sim Feiners that
they would lose the sympathy Of the
world if they reject the treaty.
