many centuries, one may ask. does
1t take to make an Irishman Of an
alien? What special force is at work
in Ulster to prevent the immigrant
there from ever absorbing the char.
aoteristics Of Irish nationalism?
1T Is not a fact Of race, but an H.
lusion Of race, that makes Ulster
Unionists pro.British and anti.Irish.
But II Is an illusion that England
has carefully fostered!
Fostering Of Feuds.
"The fostering of religious feuds
in Ireland by England is so much .
part Of the solid and irrefragable
facts of history that 1t is surprising
to find 1t not universally recognized.
The Catholics as a rule have been too
ready to walk into the snare, the
Catholic mob habitually ready 10
play into the hands Of these skilfull
manipulators.
but is there no other policy to.
ward the Ulster Unionists except TO
revile and disown them? Suppose
we Nationalists begin by putting
arties have preached the lie that
our own house in order, by calling
off our dog? Suppose we declare
every man who uses anti-Protestant
cries or in any way interferes with
Protestant demonstrations to be the
worst enemy Of his country's cause?
Suppose that in view OF our own
share in aggravating their fanati'
cism in the past we resolve to ao-
stain from all acts and words OF an
exasperating kind in the future?
What II we perform these prelimi'
nary ablutions?
"It must interest friends OF Ire
land the world over to know that
every one Of these questions has
been asked-and answered the right
way by the new government OF
southern Ireland!
"tJnder normal conditions there
are ten commercial travellers from
Belfast houses going through ireland
for one going through Great Britain.
On Ireland, and not on Britain, does
Belfast depend for the use Of her
vast credit resources. The Ulster
Bank, the Northern Bank, the Bel
fast Bank, know where their business
is done. And Ulster is a land Of
business men! Once the truth is
known by Irishmen-once England's 9
snares are recognized and 30 avoided
once Belfast and Dublin together
see the light--that our whole problem
Is in fact an economic problem--when
this, the real issue, Is knit, am
confident that the kindly southerners
will be glad to have by their shoul'

JAP PANESE PLAN ..
RUIN Of RUSSIAN.
PORT, IS CLAIM
Scheme to Divert Vladivostok' s
Traffic to Dairen Revealed
in official Report.
BY HARRY l.. ROGERS.
International News Service.

Japan at the present moment is
putting through a plan practically
to destroy the great Russian port
OF Vladivostok by diverting traffic
from the Chinese Eastern Railway
to the Japanese port of Dairen, &C.
cording to official reports to the
American Government yesterday.
After yielding with ostensible good
grace to pressure from the United
States and other powers to with.
draw from the maritime province Of
Siberia, the Japanese, II Is charged,
now expect by secret arrangements
to regain all the political and COM
mercial advantages to be lost through
the evacation.
BY this move, II is asserted. they
hope to retain their dominant posi-
ton on the Asiatic mainland. con.
solidate their holdings In Manchuria.
and prevent other nations from shar-
ing in the rich commerce of Siberia.
expected to follow re-establishment.
The United States Is vitality inter

Japanese troops out OF Siberia, Ameri.
for thet share OF the great volume
of trade expected to flow through
the port of Vladivostok.
The Japanese scheme is to be ac.
complished, an Administration official
stated today. through two measures:
/. Abolition OF preferential rates
from Harbin to Viadivostok and es.
tablishment of preferential rates from
Harbin to Dairen.
2. Changing the Chinese Eastern
railway from Harbin to Changchun
from the present Russian gauge Of
five feet to the standard gauge of
four feet and eight and one.half
inches, to conform to the standard.
gauge tracks Of the South Manchuria
line from Changchun to Dairen.
The first Of these moves already
has been accomplished. according to
official reports.
The second step to the plan. that
Of changing to standard guage the
line from Changchun to Harbin, has
not yet been accomplished.
The Chinese Eastern has given its
assent to the proposed change Of
guage, 1t Is asserted, and Japanese
plans provide for the change shortly.
Information contained in our re-
ports" said an Administration offic'
ial today, leads me to believe the
Japanese will do the thing first and
discuss II afterward. Probably they
will offer as justification for chang
ing the guage without the assent
of the Chinese government or the
foreign powers. the plea OF having
secured permission Of the Chinese
Eastern people, and a secret clause
! in the military convention Of 1918
We have reason to believe this con
vention contains a secret clause
which permits the Japanese in case
of emergency to make the changt
OF the guage so the trackage viii
! be uniform from Dairen to Hardin.

"There needs be no doubt about

my power to prevent the" Easter
week rising"
This was Prof. Eoin MacNeilps
answer to the question Michael
Collins had suggested | put to
him. And the speaker of Dali
Eireann gave it with a degree of
patent sincerity that made doubt
indeed impossible. 1t was as if
he were glad Of the opportunity
to 90 on record in a matter which
he knows has been widely dis
cussed in every home in Ireland
for eight years. Incidentally
Lieut.. Col. Sir Matthew Nathan,

uuired into the causes of the re-
beNion, have at last their answer.
His Motives.
"Why I did what did" Prof. Mac.
Nein continued, has never been
told. But now that the opportunity
has come to make all the facts
known, am glad to take advantage
Of it.
"As president and chief of staff OF
the Irish Volunteers, l was dedicated

anthracite operators would continue
their efforts to starve the miners

opinion would side with one or the
