IRISH PAPERS
SAY DALI WILL
OPPOSE PACT
Journal Asserts VIII
of People Must
PreraiI.'

Dublin, Ireland, Jan. 2.-(By the
Associated Press. THE question
of outstanding interest in the Irish
situation discussed by the Dublin
newspapers this morning, is to the
effect that expressions of public
sentiment in favor of the ratifica-
ton of the Anglo-Irish peace treaty
will have one of its opponents in
the Dali Eireann.
The Freeman's Journal, and the
Irish Independent declare the will
of the people must prevail, the
Freeman's Journal saying:
"No sophistry, however fine spun,
can disguise the fact that to thwart
this will would be to betray a
sacred trust. That sort of treach-
cry makes no appeal to Irishmen." :"
The Independent expresses the
utmost confidence that the oppon-
ents of the treaty in the Dali will
heed the popular voice, but a politi-
cal writer in the Irish Times says
there is no ground for the belief
that when the Dali meets tomorrow
'.it will be any better disposed to-
ward ratification.
The Times writer calls attention
to the fact that the opponents OF
the agreement are continuing their
inscrutabIe silence and declares
the Dali saders themselves do not
know what the outcome Will be.

trouble between sailors from Ital-

ANNOUNCE
5-POWER PACT
AT WEEKS END
Arms Meet Expects to
Complete NaUaI
Cut Scheme.

Washington, Jan. 2.-tBy the As
sociated Press s.)-Despife the New
Years holiday, naval experts of
the arms conference delegations
! kept at work today on their task of
ironing out details of the naval linn
itation plan which il is hoped to
put into final treaty form by the
end OF the week With no serious
difficulty expected in formulating
the necessary technical adjustments
to cover such questions as replace
ment and scrapping of ships, there
was a general feeling today that
the end of the week may see an
other plenary session of the con-
ference for announcement of a for
NAL fiye-power treaty covering the
naval limitation scheme.
With this prospect for final dis
position of the naval program. there
was a general expectation among
the delegations today that in the
following week a settlement cover
ing the far eastern field would be
effected, permitted the conference
to adjourn about the middle OF the
month. Despite the several trou-
0lesOme issues which apparently
have yet to be cleared away in that
branch Of the negotiations, includ-
ing the Shantung question upon
which the Japanese and Chinese
are now deadlocked, it was believ-
ed that settlement would not be
delayed beyond two weeks. Most
of the foreign delegates have made
definite arrangements for their de-
parture at the end of that time.
Far East Stirred.
In connection with Far Eastern
questions, the Siberian situation
had been brought suddenly into
prominence today through publica-
ton by the special delegation here
from the Far Eastern republic OF
copies of alleged communications
between the Japanese and French
governments covering the proposal
that the two governments act in
concert at the Washington confer
ence with respect to the establish
ment of Japanese protectorate
over Siberia.
Although the documents were
promptly declared by a member Of
the japanese delegation TO be
malicious fabrication" and char
acterized by a French delegate as
"forgeries, stupidity contrived" there
was considerable speculation today
whether the accusation would be
brought formally before the con
ference by the Chinese or soma
other delegation when the Siberian
situation is taken up on the
agenda.
The Far Eastern representative
themselves not only are not mem
bers of the conference but are
speaking for an unrecoghized gov
ernment which left it entirely un-
certain as to what cOgnizance may
be taken of the congress.

fSneciaI TO The ArpUs \

o.t
Washington, Jan. 2. - AS the
year comes to an end talk of
changes in President Harding's
cabinet has reached such a point
as to draw fiat denials from the
chief executive himself. Yet the
origin of the gossip is nevertheless
interesting as a reflection of what
is going on in official life here.
The latest rumor, namely that Sec
retary Hughes and President
Harding were at the breaking point,
has been called SILLY" by Mr..
Harding, and the fact is the rela-
tions between the two men have
never been more cordial or salts
factory. The rumor gained cur
rency first when one Interpretation
on the four-power pact was an
nounced by Mr.. Hughes and an
other by Mr.. Harding, when, in
deed, they had not talked over the
ambiguous clause in question, and
the curious upshot of the contro-
versy is that Japan, like America,
dislikes the legal Interpretation and
seeks a Qualification and that OBJ
stacle will shortly be removed. The
pleased because President Harding
invited William Randolph Hearst
to the White House at time when
the latter's newspapers were at
lacking some of the Hughes poll
cies at the arms conference is far
from the truth The seer etary Of
state isn't the kind of a man who
mixes political feeling with social
affairs. The president himself is SO
firm a believer in the gospel of
understanding that when an editor
differs with him he doesn't believe
in conducting a long range duel
but in asking the editor in ques-
ton to sit down and talk things
over Whether Mr.. Harding con-
vinced Mr.. Hearst or whether Mr..
Hearst gave Mr.. Harding an out
line of his apprehensions about the
Hughes policies is incident to the
larger fact that when the president
sees an editor going on the war
path he tries to persuade him per-
sonal1y to the contrary. During the
campaign Mr.. Hearst was such
warm supporter of the president
that it was freely predicted he
would be a frequent caller at the
White House and that an intimacy
might be established such as pre-
ceding presidents have had with
prominent editors.
Hughes Not Displeased.
But that Mr.. Hughes was dis
pleased over the incident is stretch
ing it good deal Everybody
knows that Mr.. Hughes from the
start has not considered his func-
tions or prerogatives to extend
beyond the department of state.
When MIR. Hughes first suggested
that the Versailles pact be adopt
ed with reservations ard Mr.. Hard
ing pointed out that the senate sit
uation required a different formula,
Mr. Hughes faced about and fixed
up treaty to fit the circumstanc
outlined by Mr. Harding. Few peo-
pie in Washington believe that if

suit became graver today. In the
early hours two men were shot and

Both the children were mortally
