stive Of tho division on the treaty
itself
''..e tumuituous scenes this after
noon crowned day given over to dra-
matte debate.
Mrs. Pearse Urges Rejection
Though its entire appeal was aimed
at the heart rather than the mind,
there was no more effective speech
than that delivered by Mrs. Pearse,
whose two sons we're executed Easter
week. Previously women deputies had
spoken against the treaty as wives who
had suffered the loss of their husbands
IN Ireland's war. or as sisters who had
seen their brothers slowly starve to
death for ireland's sake, but Mrs.
Pearse was the first mother to plead
Tor rejection of the treaty because it
failed TO satisfy the aspirations for
which her sons had laid down their
lives.
Past middle age, dressed in black,
her voice low and her delivery slow,
respect which one has in the presence
Of death or in the company Of some
one bowed down with heavy grief.
'T feel that the ghosts OF my sons
would haunt me if l voted for the
treaty" she said She told of her son,
padraich's, high sense of honor even
on the morning of the execution when
the priest who came to confess him
told him he had given his word Of
honor not to carry any message from
him to his relatives. and Padraich re-
fused to cmharrass the priest.
To her the treaty contained repu-
diation OF the cath of allegiance to the
republic, and consequently she was
compel lied to vote for its rejection. At
the close Of her short speech most of
the deputies joined in the applause.
De VaIera's Tactics Criticized

IS supporter Of the treaty, mani red

criticism OF De Nalera's tactical moves

terrible experiences and their influence
on ier present stand. Miss MacSwiney
protested shat she based none of her
argument against the treaty on her
personal feelings. and when McCabe

nat is YOUR intention, then the intel
igence IS we'll as the principles are
on this side of the house"
The real row came when the speaker r
said he did not believe Terence Mac
Swirey or any of his comrades would
have died for document No. 2 Ode
Talera's alternative plan), which he
said was open to all the objections
made against the treaty.
De Valera interrupted to say: ~

TO Offer Amendment To-day
Arthur Griffith lodged this question
But said that mis- side had asked the
president to publish his alternative at
the beginning OF the session, while
Michael Collins intcrjected: Are we
going 80 have 4 debate or an old wom-
ems wrangle 90 After further ex-
changes De Valera gave notice that he
would introduce the document to-mor-
nc as an amendment and insist on &
vote.
W T. Cosgrove raised thu point
7vhether De Valera could open the fight

tion arose tomorrow. If De Valera

undergoing change in her form of
government from empire to republic.
Every country takes a long period to
make such changes. Many estimate
that the United States, after obtain
ing its independence, did not really
settle down until some time after your
Civil War-a matter of seventy-fi five
years.

nations have morally pledged them
selves-n the adoption Of the Root
resolutions s-to help China as she helps

tircly from the outside. She must do
something Tor herself"
The British spokesman then went at
length into what else has been accom-
plished for China by way of rightine
some Of the old wrongs, in addition to
the agreement protecting her from fu-
ture aggressions. He dwelt upon the
plan to abolish cxtraterritorial rights,
to give China larger tariff revenue at
once. and study the problem of giving
her a larger measure of control OF her
own customs duties. etc.

this seriously. 1t is true that breezes
have blown and that these breezes have
attracted attention. But they were not
unexpected and if there was any ele-
mcnt of surprise it was that the
strength behind them was not greater.
There has been ventilation, and that
is always good for such things 1t is
true that the pubic may not have
realized the fact that the conditions
existed if it had not been for the blow
ing of these breezes, but the men con-
cerned with preserving international
relations knew. and the fact of their
being kept confined had been dangerous
But the value of the conference
method for international problems has
been demonstrated, and the conference
habit strengthened. That is one of the
most important things about this gath

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 4.-United

The statement was issued in accord
ance with a suggestion that he en-
dcavor "to interpret the concrete
things that come out Of the Washing

Senator johnson said that there was
universal approval OF .hc original pur-

unanimfty in the hope and desire that
armamcnts would be limited. Anv re-

there will be showdown tomorrow
and the whole issue will be more con-
fused than ever.
One Of the best speeches in favor Of
the treaty was made by Owen O'Dutfy,
assistant chief of the Irish republican
army. member from Monaghan, and at
present liaison officer at Belfast. who
said that only handful of the 35,0oU
people he represents were opposed Co
the treaty. Much Of his speech had to
do with the Ulster problem, Of which
Message From Doomed Soldiers
"None Of this house now contends
that Ulster should be coerced." he de-
clared. "A number of leading Catho-
lies agree with me that Ulster should
not come In at present. Consider whas
would happen to our people II the
treaty were rejected. There has been
nothing to equal the atrocities OF the
Ulster, and | speak with authority ana
moderation. They put out eyes, pulled
out tongues aud broke limbs, and if the
treaty is rejected the Catholics will be
left at the mercy Of these fends again.
Over forty of our brave men, seven OF
them from my own brigade, arc now
awaiting the hangman's rope. From
them l receive this message: Don't
mind us. We are soldiers. Do what you
consider best
"Some say that political chaos would
follow and it would break down the
morale of the army in six months, but
/ say that If the treaty is accepted we
can have an Irish volunteer army which
will make model for the world in
discipline and courage. If we must

in this assembly will take greater
risks in the field later
ODuffy is one of those who consider
the treaty only stepping stone to
greater freedom, and in support Of his
view he cited the fact that the Beers
were compelled to accept more
humiliating settlement, but to-day
there is conside rable party in South
Africa striving for republic.
Mellowes Attacks Treaty
Liam Mellowes, whose father is an
Englshman, followed O'Duffy. Mel
loves is the editor Of a new paper pub
lished by the republicans, and his
speech against the treaty was one of
the best in the way of logic and
Drea0th OF vision. A1Cer Qeclarlng that
the delegates had no power to sign
away the rights of the Irish republic,
he built up case for those who con-
tend that the republic already has been
definitely established.
He read the declaration Of indie
pendence adopted in 1918, and then
asked: "1f the republic exists why are
we talking about the treaty as a step
toward n republican form of govern
ment? The only question before US to-
day is that o. the abrogation of the
republic or the accepting of something
which is described as step toward q
republic. The country has been STAN
peded into believing that the only al
tentative to acceptance Of the treaty is
war.
You speak of the will Of tho
people. This is not the will but
the fear Of the people which is
finding expression to-day. I hold that
unanimous rejection would put our
case so strongly before the world that
England would not dare make war on
us Our question is, how are we going
to maintain a republic which we estab-
! lished ourselves? ?"
New-York tribune., 1922-01-05

reality with the limitation of arma-
ments The treaty is Of transciedent
Importance to California and Of only
less Importance to the nation. It should
be carefully and calmly studied, mar
rowly scrutnized and it's meaning
should be thoroughly understood be-
fore we are irrcvocably committed to
it,"
Senator johnson said that Great
Britain and Japan had an offensive and
defensive alliance under which Great
Britain's colonies were chafing; that
Japan wished continuance OF the al
lance; that apparently Japan insisted,
If it we're to be abrogated, upon some
thing ms good "aDd got something bet
ter" He also recited the preamble OF
the new quadruple alliance as follows:
With a view Of the preservation OF
the general peace and the maintenance e,
Of their rights in relations to their m
sulnr possessions and insular domi1i-
ions in the regions Of tho Pacific
Ocean"
"This language" he said, at now ap-.
pears, was the subjcct Of prolonged
debate in the secret sessions. We DO
know, however, that the President him
self, was not aware that 'insular do
minions' included Japan, and asserted
in public interview that it did not.
Japan Proper Included
"Messrs. Hughes, Root, Lodge and
Underwood, representing the United
States, and those representing the
other nations, say that 'jnsular domin-
ions are intended to include the island
Of Japan, as we'll as New Zealand and
Australia, and their construction is
now accepted.
"The first admitted fact in any die
cussion OF the treaty is that the main
tcnancc Of our island possessions is
guaranteed, while the island posses
sions and the mainland of Japan ara
guaranteed"
Article II Of the alliance provides,
in substance, he said, that "if the
rights of the parties are threatened by
aggressive action Of any other power
the parties shall communicate with one
another fully and frankly 'in order to
arrive at an understanding as to the
most efficient measures 10 be taken,
jointly and separately, to meet the cx
igcncics OF the particular situation
Unless hind the treaty there is
the power 81 enforce it, and the un-
derstanding that the power shall be
used to meet the exigencies Of tho
particular situation the instrument is
a useless and futile illumination.
Upon the facts now presented and
the treaty as it stands, among many
others is one most important question::
Shall the United States, either jointly
with Great Britain and France or, sepa
rately, guarantee or underwrite ia

failed, sooner or later. to become
dangerous"
Instead Of that, he said. there is a
definite agreement to limit the build
ing of capital ships. Britain and The
United States to have equal battle
fleets, while Japan has accepted with
extraordinary GOOD will" a ratio of
three to five In addition, the size of
battleships has been limited to $4,000
tons, and the size of the guns they can
carry to sixteen inches.
"ln terms Of expenditure alone. con-
slider the Importance of those agree
ments," the British spokesman con-
tinucd "Many persons told me that
Britain could not be disssuaded from
building super Hoods, and | have no
doubt the naval race would have gone
on, with size of ships rising to co.
600 and 10000 tons. This would have
meant that the Panama Canal would
have been necessary. 1t would have
meant the scrapping Of existing dry
docks so far as these latest warships
are concerned.
ut would have meant additional ar
NOR plants to build the protecting belts
of these giants, and it would have
meant an enormous expenditure for the
manufacture OIL neAVler anu ncAVler
guns.
Take, now, the agreement on air.
craft carriers. We have limited their
size. the total tonnage any nation of
us is to have, and the calibcr Of their
guns to 8 inches. 1t is a very sharp
limitation on the offensive power Of
fleets in the future. There would have
been fleets Of these airplane carriers,
probably of enormous size, carrying
tremendous numbers OF planes. In the
past fleets of warships have bombarded
towns on the coasts of the enemy coun-
try--a futile performance, | grant you,
but it has been done. Had the race
in construction Of airplane carriers not
been stopped, we might have witnessed
the launching of an attack by bombs
on cities 400 miles inland in future
| wars. With the power to stay in the
air twenty-four or twcnty-sx hours,
there is scarcely any limit on that sort
Of thing.
"Take the action of the conference
on submarines. The plain statement
to such opinions, as stated in the first
Root resolution, would be great
achievement if nothing else had been
done by this conference. But there is
something more. Due to the pressing
of their case by the British for the
abolition of the submarine the world
has begun to wonder just what is the
use of this weapon. And that wonder
will go on increasing the more the sub
ject is studied.
"Duc, we think. to misconception,
the Ang1o-Japanese alliance was very
much dislked in your country Many
of its clauses were obsolescent. I was
repeatedly told in this country before
this conference met that there we're
objections to this alliance but that no
satisfactory substitute could be pre-
pared for it.
"The four-power Pacific treaty has
been drafted and the Anglo Japanese
alliance is to be ended upon the final
ratification of that treaty, and have
no doubt the four-power treaty will be
ratified by all four countries. This
has been accomplished with the utmost
good will on the part of the Japanese
and ourselves, the parties most con-
cerned, and Of every one else.

Negro Nurse Sues Hospital
Charges She Was Kept From
School Because of Color


Nellie Harris, Of 108 West 141st
Street, filed suit in the Supreme Court
yesterday for $4,000 against the wom-
ans Hospital. 141 West 109th Street,
for the alleged refusal to admit her to
the post graduate course for nurses be-
cause the plaintiff is negro. She also
asked for mandamus compelling the
managers of the hospital to admit her
to the January class.
The woman said she was graduated
from Freedman's Hospital, in Washing
ton, and came to New York in Septem-
Der, 1920, to take charge of the surgi-
cal ward in Lincoln Hospital. Later
she was nurse in charge of sana-
torium in Harlem. Last August she
made application to enter the class.
She was informed the class was full
but that she might enter the December
class. On December 1, the plaintiff
says, she was informed that she could
not be admitted because of her color.
