DUBLIN, Feb. 4 (Associated Press) -
Southern Ireland stands for self deter
mination of those sections involved in
the dispute over listers boundary. This
was made clear by Arthur. Griffith,
President of the Dali Eireann, who fully
upholds the attitude of Michael Collins,
head of the Provisional Government, in
his recent conference with Premier
Craig of Ulster.
Against that part Of Ulster which
votes itself out of the Free State we
shall not use force, and against that
part which votes itself thereinto we shall
not permit unchallenged, force to be
used" Mr. Griffith declared.
Mr. Collins represents the unanimous
attitude of the provisional and Dali Min
istry- We want not only peace. but
brotherhood with our at present dissi-
dent countrymen. We seek for our Ma
tionalist people in the northeast nothing
but the equality of Irish citizenship. and
we offer frankly and sincerely to our
Unionist fellow countrymen in the north
east the same equality.
I'VE are at the beginning OF the birth
of a nation, and desire to sink the old
distinctions between Unionists and Ma
tionalists In the common name Irish
man.
Mr.. Collins. when questioned regard

bloodthirsty acts. from which his own
instincts revolted. in order that his
ideal might be imposed upon the peo-
pie for what he believed to be their
good. Now when 1 sat facing him he
knew that his consent to bloodshed. to
the suppression OF liberty. to cruelty
had been In vain, for the theory OF
Communism had failed utterly in Rus
sia, and by its organizers. such as
Lenine, had been entirely abandoned
under the force OF irreparable ruin.
That is how / read the thoughts OF
Tchitcherin. Russian Minister of State,
as he sat silent for awhile staring at
his blotting pad. He had been sin
cere when others had been insincere
honest when others had been dishon-
est: but their failure was his too. and
his honor was besnirched by their vii
lainies.
My interview with him was i'm
mensely interesting, and 1t began by
a candid confession about the break
down OF the Communist system In
Russia 1T has failed,". he said. be
cause no country can live by itself
alone. and all other countries have
been hostile to the Russian expert
ment." He explained to me the new
economic laws promulgated by Len
inc and the immense change (Which
afterward I witnessed for myself in
Russia) which had taken place.
Private Trading Restored.
( "By reason Of civil war;" he said.
severe measures were taken by the
Soviet Government to concentrate all
property and trading in the hands Of
the State. Those measures had borne
very heavily upon the people owing to
the breakdown of Industrial life and
the scarcity of food. Now the system
could no longer be upheld. Private
property was recognized as a right
and private trading was restored. The
people were again put on a wage basis
and rationing was stopped except
among essential Soviet workers and
the unemployed.
Those people who had goods stored
up brought them out into the market
places and sold them. With money
so obtained they were able to buy

So free trade was starting rapidly and
shops were opening. This modifica-
tion OF Communism"--I noticed that
he did not use the word abandonment.
which would have been more strictly
true-"has succeeded because II meets
the wishes of the peasants. who form
So per cent. of the population of Rus
sia and were never converted to the
idea of Communism"
After a long analysis of the peas
ant character-not very favorable or
friendly. though with a tribute to the
shrewdness OF the peasant mind
Tchitcherin answered a question which
/ put to him bluntly. hardly expecting
him to answer. said: "Is there any
possibility Of the Soviet Government
recognizing the old pre-war debts to
France and other nations?" His an
swer was without hesitation, and
amazed me.
VIII Acknowledge Csarist Debts.
"Of course" he replied. THAT Is the
logical outcome of our present meth
DDS. We are ready to acknowledge the
pre-war debts. But 1t will not be much
good to announce that decision. as
foreign countries would take 1t as a
sign of weakness foretelling the down.
fall of the Soviet Government-which
is quite untrue"
This was the first acknowledgment
made on behalf of the Soviet Govern
ment that the pre-war debts would be
recognized, and think was the first
man to know it. 1t is one of my jour-
nalistic regrets that owing to my SER
vice in Russia as an investigator OF

Relief Committee was unable to send

Russia and the outside world, but
when I saw him in the Kremlin of
Moscow he talked no longer of world
revolution, but OF balances of power.

His main idea was the necessity of
peace between Great Britain and Rus
sia, both of whom are Oriental Powers
with immense responsibilities. In tho

shevist agents had been tanning up
trouble against British rule wherever
they found an opportunity in India

nonsense and make a pact which
would be useful to both peoples-the
British and Russian. This man Radek

of reddish brown hair all round his

times inside the Kremlin gates, being
passed on from post to post. But the
name of Radek--which I am told
means "scoundrer' in Russian-acted
as a. magic password.
These two men, Tchitcherin ana
Radek, are at the opposite poles Of
character. One is cold as ice. the
other-R -Radek-like a tongue of fire.
But they are both men OF consider
able intellectual brilliance, and seeing
now that Communism has failed they
are ready to adopt a policy of real
ism" in the hope of saving Russia
and themselves-by a return to West
ern methods Of economic life and In
ternational trade.

for further conferences. 1t says:
but before Sir James Craig consents
to consider Mr.. Collins's proposal he Is
entitled to seek assurance that the new
policy and the new constitution would

The Times then asks how the Repub-

on such a basis. 1t suggests that Mr..
Collins ask Sir James this question !:
IF we hold an Immediate election and

hope that a friendly arrangement with
Sir James Craig might render 1t un-

negotiations have failed, It is declared
that the original policy is likely to be

garding Ulster provided that Ulster

be merely somewhat premature.
