He also says Russia is willing to
demobilize so per cent of its army if
Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Es-
thonia will reduce their armies in
proportion. The success of the con-
ference at The Hague, he asserted
depends mainly on France, and he
added that if it failed, Russia hoped
to conclude separate treaties with
England, Italy and other powers.
Japan's delegates to the conference
have decided that Frances Russian
program is futile and unreasonable
and now it looks as though France
and Belgium stand alone. 1t may be
that one or two other countries will
support their demand that, as a prior
condition to discussion, Russia agree
to recognize the rights of private
property. The British and their fol-
lowers wish to omit all discussion of
the principles of communism and deal
with concrete cases.
IF IRELAND is pacified it will not
be with the consent and aid of
cannon de Valera. Though beaten in
the Dali Eireann elections by u con-
siderable majority, he still persists in
his implacable opposition to the treaty
which establishes the Irish Free State;
and he declares he does not believe
the Dali will pass the new Irish con-
stitution in its present form, which
he says is well composed in all it's
parts and peculiarly fitted to the end
in view, the degradation of the
| people" He adds that it would eX-
clude from public service and prac-
| tically disenfranchise every honest re-
publican.
Directly connected with the Irish
| trouble was the assassination in Lon
don on Thursday of Field Marshal Sir
Henry Wilson, late chief of the i'm
| perial general staff of the British
army. He retired from this post last
| February and was elected a member
of parliament from an Ulster district
He also was appointed military adj
wiser to the Ulster government and
was leader in plans for paciication.
| He was shot to death by two men.
| u ETTER, perhaps, are the prospects
- for pacification and uniication of
| China. Acting as an agent of Presi-
| dent Ii Yuan-hung, General Chen took
| possession of Canton, defeating the
| troops of Sun Vat Sen, who later was
taken prisoner and held on a Chinese
cruiser. Chen. set up provisional
| government pledged to support the
central government at Pekin, and de-
| cided that Doctor Sun should be per-
mitted to resign. President Ii even
| formally invited Sun to go to Picking
| general government. Meanwhile Cen
eral Chang, the defeated Manchurian
| leader, and General WI signed an
armistice. Of course there is still
| lot of fighting going on in China. In
Kiangsi province some ten thousand
OF Wus troops mutinied, killed many
| natives and started on a march toward
Nanchang. British and American gun
boats hurried to the protection of for
| eigners in that region.
a PPROVAL was given TO the zap
\ treaty with the United States by
| the Japanese privy council and letters
of ratification will soon be received in
Washington. The other treaties of
the Washington conference will be
ratified early in July, according to
! adviceS from Toxic.
T MORTON HOWELL of Ohio has
~ the distinction of being the first
American minister to Egypt He was
nominated by President Harding and
promptly confirmed by the senate. The

ton would seem to be especially wise,
as he has been the American diplo-
matte agent and consul general in
| the land of the Pharaohs.
