\ Blow to Ireland

EXCESSIVELY defeated in their efforts to

State government by organized irregular
warfare, the Irish insWrrectionsts who have
followed tho leadership of Eamonn de Va

destroy by direct appeal 10 arms. The as
sassination OF Michael Collins, head of the
provisional government and Of the Irish
national army which follows hard on tho
sudden death of Arthur Griffith, the two
outstanding leaders who negotiated the
treaty which brought TO an end tho ages
cid conflict between England and ireland
with the fruiton Of Irish hopes practically
realized, is severe blow TO the new gov
eminent and may result in prolonging the
period Of internecne strife which had been
all but subducd.
With the two strongest pillars OF the
new government removed. the forces Of
insurrection may gather renewed strength
and purpose to prosecute the fratricidal
strife in which they are engaged through
the confusion into which tho government
is thrown by loss of the firm and able
leadership upon which il has hitherto relied
for guidance In the trying ordeal which it
has had to face. But the overwhelming ma
jority OF the people OF the island support
its cause. and no doubt there arc leaders
OF capacity whom tho occasion will bring
TO the front TO take their places. Emergent
situations usually produce men OF courage,
foresight and genius to grapple with them.
the case OF Ireland In the midst OF the
present grave crisis. 1t Is not too much
to expect that under new leaders the peo-
pie of Ireland will rally 10 the support OF

last vestge of armed resistance To it's au-
thority. When movement resorts to as

TO a confession OF defeat and provokes the
horror of all right-thinking people.

Peace Again Deferred

utilities which have inflicted one disap-
pointmcnt after another upon the public
mind in recent weeks.
One slender hope 1t leaves, however: a
small group of executives, refusing TO sur
render the last shadow of promise, has de-
clared its readiness to discuss the situation
further with leaders of the brothcrhoods
This group. numbering not more than
twenty, II IS said, Is willing TO consider a
separate peace; and, since tho suggestion
came from tho brothcrhoods il NAV be
assumed that a separate peace will now
be considered by the Spokesman for tho
shopmen. II is not without Significance

TO hear another proposal have rcpudiacd

be inferred that the Secretary OF War has
mentioned il because OF a feeling that it is
a not distant ovcntuality IF the oyccu-

Work and Plenty

IT HERE are multiplying signs that with
an early settlement or substantial

country will turn into period of prosperity
The two major strikes. in tho face of which
the public has felt increasingly uneasy and
discouraged. unQuestionahly have lesscncd
10 some extent the promise of the fall bust

that restored peace now even after weeks
OF loss, would provide a sound basis for
glowing expectations. II is not unrcason-
able 10 believe that the very quickening
OF our industrial stride which the prolonged
strife will have made necessary will prove
mcasurably compcnsatory.
Whatever factors may be enumerated in
explanation of the general advance of
wages In the steel industry. IL NAV hardly
be- denied that potent reason is the aware
ness of the steel companies that a height
cncd demand for their products is in pros

mand, they must hold their present work

of relatively little significance that the cur
