CONSIDER SENDING
ENVOY TO IRELAND
House Committee Members
Also Discuss Status of
Other D0mini0ns.

Plans for sending a minister to rep
resent the United States in the new
Free State of Ireland are receiving
serious consideration from the WASH
ington administration. If President
Harding decides that he would like
such authority prompt action will be
taken by Congress-
This Is the net result of executive
conferences held by the House COM
mittee on foreign affairs, which dis
cussed the establishing at an early
date Of direct diplomatic relations
not only with Ireland. but also with
TOUR other dominions of the British
government-Canada New Zealand,
Australia and South Africa.
Membership I'm League.
1t was practically the common opin-
ion Of members of the committee on
foreign affairs that the natural OUT
growth of independent membership
Of such dominions in the league of
nations leads to the conclusion that
In the near future direct diplomatic
relationship must be established.
The sending of q special committee
to the White House to ask President
Harding II he would like to have
such authority was discussed without
pointed out that in the official recog-
milton of a new nation the chief eX-
ecutive must take the formal Step
just as was done in the case of Fin
land, Czechoslovakia, Poland. etc.
The committee expressed the inten-
tion not to hurry the President or
to act prematurely, but showed plain
ly it's belief that the people Of this
country would strongly favor direct
representation. 1t was emphasized
that this is an entirely new step in
the diplomatic relations Of the
United States-the sending of special
direct representatives to any separate
part of one great nation when the
United States has an ambassador at
the seat Of central government, but
the opinion was expressed that the
revolution in world affairs, as best
evidenced in the International parley
now in progress here. shows that old
barriers must be broken down and
diplomatic innovations must come.
The argument was made, in favor
of deferring action. that this nation
is now on most friendly terms with
Great Britain, and naturally nothing
should be done which might be con-
strued by Great Britain as an un-
friendly act.

BULLOCK is RELEASED.
Cannot Be Extradited on Charge of
Inciting Riot.

All the papers included in the ap-
plication of the Governor of North
Carolina for the eXtradition from the
Dominion of Canada of Bullock, col
ored. have been returned to the gov
ernor by the State Department, with
the statement that an examination
shows that the charge of "inciting a
riot" made against Bullock is not
included in the list of eXtraditable
offenses listed in the treaty between
the two countries.
Bullock. who was arrested by the
Canadian authorities for violating the
immigration laws of that country, has
been released from custody on the
ground that his good conduct since
his arrival there did not warrant his
further detention.
1t appears. therefore. that the
United States government has. not
made formal application for his ex-
tradition and cannot do so unless he
is indicted by the state of North Caro-
lima for an offense covered by the ex-
