Dollars and Dimes in Ireland.
(New York World.)

The Irish Free State begins functioning with the advantage of having the long experience of other republican Governments to guide it. Of this there is example in the reported decision of the Provisional Government to adopt the decimal system of coinage The merits of that system are nowaday ys sufficiently apparent. though they were yet to be demonstrated when it proposed for the United States by Robert Morris in 17S4 with the hearty ndorsement of Thomas Jefferson. Writing in 1790 Jefferson said:
 year 17s6 by declaring that there should be
 money of account and payment through
 the United States and that it's parts and
 multiple should be in decimal ratio has
 obtained such general appreciation both at
 home and abroad that nothing seems want
 ing but the actual coinage to banish the dis
 cordant pounds. shillings, pence and far
 things of the different States and to estab-
 fish in their stead the denominations
 The system was adopted by France after the revo- 'ution of 17S9 and by other European countries It has proved its convenience a monetary ratio in this country for more than a century and in Canada and Newfoundland for briefer time. Its adoption ny the Irish Free State will only appear to be an obvious recognition of its superiority. At the same time the fact will be interesting illustration of the far influence of Jeffersonian idea. There is some thing evolutionary we'll revolutionary in Ire lands prospective change from pounds and shilings to dollars and dimes.

uf dangerous improvisation and thus lettlng the conference be dominated by the ln7 trgues or preparations which others might make
 Clearly if conditions and guarantees are given to France at the same time as to the rest of the world they will be accepted, provided they include first absolute defer ence for the Versailles Treaty; second, that Germany must pay and it is only ques- tion of considering the manner in whlch she will pay; and third, full assurance that Soviet Russia will remain the heir of the debts of governments which preceded, not only promising to pay, which is really too easy but guaranteeing payments
 Under such conditions France can wei come the Genoa conference Without these conditions and guarantees, what good will it do to go to Genoa? What good, indeed, since the visit to Genoa provides danger which thinking minds have perceived.
 In reading the Versailles Treaty it seems certain that the enterprise confded to the negotiator to the Genoa meeting is which concerns the League of Nations con- stituted by the Versailles pact. Is not the Genoa conference looked to enterprise for the appropriation of the League of Ma tions? I call attention to these dangers that Frances attitude will be well under stood
 The French Government is said to believe tn ermany and Russia have an understanding to for consideration of revision of the peace treaties 'e Genoa conference Lloyd Georges interpretatit the agenda of the conference that the first que to be discussed is that of general Europe; eace is also disturbing France, for she fears tt ldicates a re-opening of all the treaties resultil rom the World War.

FRANCE FIRM THAT TREATY MUST BE
 RESPECTED

France is going to the Genoa Conference rather skeptically, going because Briand agreed go ant not because Poincare is convinced that it is tn. wsest course to follow Frances idea is not tha there shall be general re-openng of all subject. having bearing on the peace and rebuilding O Europe, but that certain commitments already en tered into shall not be disturbed in the least degree Rene Vivani, former Premier of France and unti recently vice-chairman of the French delegation tt the Washington Conference in signed statemen q few days gave the French viewpoint clear and outlined the guarantees which it has just beer announced France will require before sending rep resentatves to Genoa
 In this statement the former Premier said:
 As Premier Poincare has said, France has agreed to attend and the change of Govern ment will not withdraw Frances signature But the conditions of the conference have been expressed and 1t Is we'll understood that they are of such importance that the success or failure of the conference depends upon whether they accepted not. For the nrst time the neutrals who have been invited along with the Allies and Germans and Bolshevists, to be seated at the same table. The thesis for this broad invitation is that it is necessary to become wise to construct Europe to appeal to all European elements
 Of course America, whose presence is in dispensabe in such labor, has not been forgotten and although Americas absence would be prejudcial to the outcome her answer has not been made known.
 It would be intolerable to have the Yer sailles Treaty, matter what the opinion about 1t, discussed mutilated in such a gathering This treaty is treaty of vic tory. It is dyed with the blood of the martyrs who fought for the destiny of civ ilization and the dignity of nations. France will not permit such an impous act The treaty, under which many dead lie buried. may not be discussed and a portion revised by the nations who remained so long out Of the conflict tranquilly awaiting the solu- uon and who, while lands were being devastated stayed in commercial and indus trial tranquility taking a redoubtable lead on us, every step of which measure today
 Have they written into the invitations that the Versailles Treaty and all other treaties in general shall be respected?
 In regard to this, conditions only will not suffice. but must have guarantees also. There is talk about an understanding between the great Allies, and after that understandings with the small European na- tions. instead of arriving in an atmosphere
