ENGLAND IS PERTURBED
OVER THREATS OF WAR
icy United PreSs)

London, March 81, England is
greatly .perturbed over threats of civ
il war along the Ulster border, it was
reported here today. If sparks from
the Ulster border ignite the Irish ten
der box, it might be necessary to dis
patch troops to restore order, it was
admitted.
The situation along the Ulster bor-
der is becoming more serious daily.
Ulster Volunteers and armed Irish
men are ready to begin fighting if
negotiations over defining the border
between Ulster and the Irish Free
State fail to conclude satisfactorily.
Any outbursts along the front or
any outrages in Belfast would, it was
feared, precipitate series of massa-
cres and throw the whole country
back to general civil war. This
fear is based on reports from Ireland,
while it has been general conviction
the Ulster frontier was marked by
skirmishing which showed both forces
were ready and even eager to begin
fighting.

DECLARES PORK BARREL.
MUST Be ELIMINATED
Redfield Says Harding and
Dawes are Raising False
Hopes Among People

Washington, March 81 Omitted
Press) President Harding and Bud.
get Director Dawes are on the wrong
trail in their hunt for governmental
economy, William E. Redfield, secre-
tary Of commerce under Woodrow
Wilson, believes. Harding and Dawes
false hopes among the people, he said:
"They are hunting at the wrong end
of Pennsylvania Avenue Redfleld
said. "ln the halls of congress is
where the solution can be found-not
in the departments. I have a q eat
admiration for Mr.. Dawes, but he is
barking up the wrong trec--the litt'cst
tree. And he is helpless to do Other
wise"
Only limited temporary economies
which in the end cost the people more,
can be achieved by trimming depart
mental budgets, he said
+" There are certain fixed charge 5
which the departments must meet if
they are to function as the people and
congress demand" he said. These
charges can be cut very little. On the
other hand, congress dips into the
pork barrel for hundreds of millions
of dollars for projects of all sorts to
appease the demands Of their consilt-
uents, That is where governmental
extravaganza is being practised. And
that is where it must be stopped if
economy is to be effected and taxea
reduced.
First of all the people, represented
by the chambers of commerce and 9TH
or bodies, must stop their pressure up
on congress for new buildings, new
roads, new river improvements ard
the thousands Of other demands tEav
constitute drain on the national
treasury. Congressman must subor-
dinate selfish interests to national SER
vice by turning their backs on approp-
iation demands.
I'VE will have economy and lower
taxes when the people and congrt IS
keep their hands out of the PORK
barrel"

Townley has ended his mission work
for the balance of power plan.
He will not personally urge IS
adoption at the Minnesota League
convention, but will sit back and
watch results and see how the farmers
take to. the plan, he said today. -
II. ri have talked to large number
Of farmers at meetings and also in
dividual farmers and find where /
have full opportunity to explain tao
balance Of power idea and it is under
stood, there is practically ananl-
nous sentiment for it, said Townley.
:. IF the convention desires to take
it up for discussion, these farmer oe!-
egates are in position to lay the
matter before the convention for IN
telligent action. I will not urge it
at the convention. In the first place
the balance Of power plan cannot sue
coed unless the farmers and workers
and their organizations are unani-
mously back Of it."
