De Valera Cor.
Work disruption
Large Numbers of the Irish Re.
publican Army Were Pres
ent at Meeting Held at Cork.

Cork, Feb. 1s.-(By the A. PA strik-
ing feature of the meeting held in Cork
To-Day under the auspices of Eamonn De
valera was the presence of large numbers
OF the Irish republican army for the city
OF Cork and from various parts of the
county, who were assembled by COM
panlies under their officers.
Donald O'Callaghan, lord MAYOR of
Cork, pl<4ded at the principal platform
from which the speeches were delivered.
Mr. De Valera proposed the same resolu-
tons as were adopted at his meeting in
Dublin last Sunday, repeated virtually the
same arguments as were then put for
ward, declaring that Ireland was in gret-
er danger than it had been at any time in
$50 years. The Countess Markievicz and
Charles Burgess and other followers of
De Valera supported the resolutions
The train on which Mr.. De Valera
travelled Saturday evening to Cork was
met at the railway station at Thurles by
5000 persons carrying Sim Fein flags.
Addressing the people Mr.. De Valera said
ne was glad to see that the people in Tip
perary did not want the British monarch
as king of Ireland.
Arriving in Cork Mr. De Valera was
greeted by Lord Mayor O'Callaghan and
other prominent republicans. De Valera
apologized for not speaking in aelic, de-
elarin9 that he desired every Irish citi-
zen rHlly TO understand the seriousness
OF the situation and fully to appr eciate
what they were doing. He declared that
they We're being asked to say that when
FOUR years ago they pronounced for a
republic they were fools and did not rea-
lie what they were Going. If an election
We're forced upon them, he added, he was
sure that the citizens of Cork would dc
their part in proving to the world that
they still stood for an Irish republic.
Mr.. De Valera challenged the leaders
of the Free State to frame a constitu
ton proving their contention that they
could give to Ireland perfect freedom
and thereby let Ireland know what /.
is voting for.
'If they can make constitution
which the English king will not be- in,
said Mr.. De Valera, it may not be yer.
| difficult for us tc agree with them.
! Pointing to the question of an alter
native policy. Mr.. De Valera asserte
that his task was the task of any gen
eral with a statement army he had t
rally the people into a strong positio
| behind the standard of the republic
the same Strong position they had hel
ten months ago. If that were accom-
plished, the British would be as anxiou
to come to them as they were last JULY

MOVE TOWARD RUSSIAN
ECONOMIC RECONSTRUCTION

Berlin, Feb. 19.-CBy The A. P.)-
Carl Radek and Leonid Krassin, repre-
sentatives of the Russian soviet, are on
the way to Moscow with proposals from
France Great Britain and Germany look
ing toward Russian economic recon
struction. While NJ. Radek was here pre-
sumaibly to discuss only economic prob
lens, the Vossisehe Zeitung says his
motives were chiefly political. and alleg-
es that he was getting information nee
essary for the preparation of soviet
programme for the Genoa conference.
The Vossische zeitung describes Ra-
dek as one of the greatest living pro-
pagansists and comments on his ability
=" to wist all sorts Of political discussions
to the advantage of the soviet"
Article 116 of the Versailles treaty
provides for the absolute abrogation of
the Brest-Litovsk treaties and pledges
Germany to recognize the Independent
governments built out of the old Rus
sian empire. the allied and associated
powers at the same time formally re-
serving the rights of Russia to obtain
reparations from Germany. Consequently
it is around this article that the intri-
cate diplomatic and economic play CEN
ters. This article is a mighty weapon
in the hands of both England and France
and the soviet government as believed
TO be nakinff use of it also, despite the
bitter denunciaton of the Versailles
treay by the soviet.
Germany on account of her lack of
gold is unable to make Russia as favor
able offers as England and France, but
NJ. Radek and his associates are inclined
to believe that the German offers are
better calculated to reo%nstruce Rus
sia, which especially needs German To-
comottves and other German manufac-
lures.
The holshevid negotiators infofmed
| the German officials that they believed
both England and France are endeavor'
ing to outbid Germany for Russi ar
trade but made It clear that Russia
must deal with the nation giving the bes
| terms. Radek is prominent in the Third
Internationale, but actually has no Of
fetal position in the SOVIET government
consequently the German press is skepti
cal of his powers. The German foreign
office, openly received him, and he con
ferred with representatives of Hug
SHINES, Krupps and the General Elec
| tric group.
His conferences with the French rep
resentatives both at Mayence and Ber
lin were less official in character.
