FLAYS
POLICY ON IRELAND
FIXED BY CROWN
Mannix, Of Australia, Predicts
Failure of partition Act" as
He Sails from France.

PARIS. May 23.-The following
message to America was given
by Archbishop Mannix. of Australia
as he stood on THE deck Of the liner
Rleist, which sailed from Marseilles:
"The British government kept me
cut of ireland. but l prefer thou-
sand times never to see my native
land again rather than purchase that
freedom by an agreement with the
British suggestion that / advocate an
acceptance OF "the partition act by
the Irish people.
That act already has failed In
southern Ireland and will surely fall
In north and east Ulster.
although the ratio Is 100000
against 40, the Irish people viii win
out.
Great Britain must finally treat on
an equal footing with the representa-
tiyes of an unconquered and uncon-
querable nation. Why not do so i'm
thus saving Ireland fur
ther suffering and Great Britain
deeper dishonor?
ireland looks to America to night
for this course in the name OF hu-
manity and civilization. She Is
grateful for the help received and
now being received. Ireland asks her
friends in America to stand shoulder
to shoulder with the men and women
ot the motherfand."

cannot tell you how gratifying
II Is to greet a gathering of such
men as ] see here, brought together
for the purpose that animates you.
I recognize among you many men
peculiarly equipped to deal with the
great questions OF government or
ganization, reorganization and re-
trenchment; and as look into your
faces l feel that your special
qualifications constitute the assur-
ance that you will understand anc
sympathize with one who in an i'm
mediate relation finds himself Crap
plirg with these problems.
You have studied and dealt with
the affairs of great organisations;
you know the power of entrenched
tradition and long-established Gus
tom; you do not need to be told
that general inclusive plans are
necessary as a preliminary to ac-
complishment In such matters.
RELATION Is COMPLEX.
Everywhere we turn we note that
government has In recent times as
sumed a more complex relationship
to the public than 1t ever sustained
before. The mobilization of man
power. Industrial forces and imam
cial resources which was made
necessary In the wars exigencies
could only have been accomplished
through the exertion OF the utmost
powers OF government. Those
powers were exerted to the ext RENE
limit and stupendously important
results were attained.
As a result OF that demonstration
Anls
great results in emergencies. there
has grown up a school of thought
which assumes that even in time of
peace the same autocratic authority
might well be exercised in the gem
eral interest. Many men thought
lessly urge that Governments took
over the control. even the conduct.
OF many, industries and facilities
during the war: there followed a
great Increase In wages, a vast ex-
pansion OF business activity: there
fore, why not assume that continu-
ance of such control and manage
ment In time of peace would enable
continuance of the same liberality
In compensation and profits, the
same intense business activityT'
ACCOMPLISHED AT GREAT COST.
Those who look below the surface
know that the things which gov
ernments accomplished during the
war were accomplished at a stag
gering cost; a cost which society
could not bear for long: a cost that
has left society burdened with
debts which mortgage generations
of the future. They know that the
feverish seeming OF prosperity was
not genuine. but was possibly only
because society was literally burn
ing UP its stocks of capital: and

OUSTED FIRST BANK
TELEPHONE AS 'TOY"

E. T. Holmes of Boston, who was
the first man to establish telephone
exchange, in his interesting book "a
Wonderful Fifty Years." tells of an
incident that occurred when he was
trying to make the telephone known
to the business men of Boston. He
says:
"One of the most amusing expert
ences l had at this time occurred a
few days later. One afternoon they
sent me another telephone and after
thinking where would put it, decid-
ed to place it in the Revere Bank
After banking hours were over and
nearly every one had left the bank,
l took man with me and we went
over and connected up. Our Burglar
Alarm Department carried keys to
all of our banks. Until this time
every one had been greatly pleased to
be selected as telephone station,
but the following morning messen-
ger from the Revere Bank brought
word that the President would like to
see me.
Il fastened down there expecting
to receive the thanks of the Presi-
dent; instead, in much injured tone,
he said:
Mr.. Holmes, what is that play
toy you have taken the liberty of
putting up out there in my banking
room?'
"'That, Mr.. Valley, is what they
are going to call telephone said.
What's a telephone?' he replied.
Well Mr. Valley, you can ring
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1921-12-22

the bell in my office giving certain
signal, and throw switch and you
can say to my office that you would
like to talk with Mr.. Ripley at the
Hide & Leather, or Mr.. Benyon at the
Exchange Bank, and we will quickly
signal them and tell them that Mr..
Valley would like to talk with them;
and you will Immediately be able to
talk with them
"Mr. Valley simply gave a grunt
and quickly said:
"Mr. Holmes, you take that play
thing out of my bank and don't ever
take such liberties again.
"The plaything was quickly re-
moved and the Revere Bank went on
record as the first telephone discon-
nection."

ARE WE BULLDOZING MEXICO?

According to advices from the City
of Mexico, the United States and
other nations have protested against
the land policy of the Obregon gov
ernment.
Obregon has been breaking up the
large estates and giving his land
hungry people an opportunity to Sc
cure homesteads. No one receives
more land than he can handle with
the assistance of the members of his
family. The government retains title,
but the occupant and his heirs may
remain in possession as long as they
cultivate the land Financial assist
ance on reasonable terms is an i'm
portant feature of the scheme.
Properly administered this plan
would soon make Mexico a nation of
small land owners, content and pros
porous, and revolutions would be un-
known.
Why should the United States pro-
test against such an enlightened pol
icy?
Who is the official who has pre-
sumed to place the American people
in the position of battling on the side
of reaction?
From time to time rumors have
reached Labor" that our State De-
partment, under both the Wilson and
the Harding administration, was
sending notes to Mexico objecting to
matters which concerned the Mexican
people and no one else. 1t was said
that several of these notes related
to the liberal treatment of labor or
ganizations which has been one of the
outstanding policies of Obregon.
Notes of this kind are never given
to the press. So the American people
are not permitted to know what is
being said in their name
The time has come when the light
