dication that the conference will pay any
serious attention to the charges, in the light
OF the prompt and emphatic official denials
made by both the French and Japanese rep
resentatives that there is the slightest basis
of truth In them. The evidence upon which
the charges are based have been pronounced
outright forgeries by spokesman for both
delegations.
Moreover. this denial is Of the most sweep
ing character. The charges are not partly
true and partly false. but wholly false. these
spokesman officially state, published with
the deliberate purpose Of creating suspicious
among the powers represented at the con-
ference. Furthermore. all the facts tend to
drscredit the story. Hence the request Of
this 'outside" Siberian delegation that the
American consul-general to Kobe. who is
temporarily stationed at Chita, be authorised
to inspect the documents and report on
them. is without merit. The conference has
its hands full In trying to finish up the good
work il has already accomplished without
wasting unnecessary time in any detailed
examination OF the forged documents. with
the idea OF trying to determine whether
they are not garbled copies of actually exist
ing papers II the conference cannot
cept the emphatic statements OF the spokes
men for France and Japan, the design for
which publication OF the documents was
made. as so strongly affirmed by NJ. Sarraut
that of creating suspicion among the pow
ers-will already have done its work.
France and Japan are both members Of
the league OF nations. Article XVIII. of the
league covenant provides that every treaty
or international engagement entered into
hereafter by any member Of the league
shall be forthwith registered with the
retariat and shall soon as possible be
publish by 1t. No such treaty inter
national engagement shall be binding until
registered. Since all of the powers par
ticipatng in the conference. except the
United States, are members OF the league it
is unthinkahle that any of them would be
SO Credulous as to imagine for a moment
that the accused nations would risk putting
themselves completely beyond the pale
of international responsibility as TO make
secret treaty or engagement. even OF the
most innocent nature. without registering
II with the secretariat of the league, as they
are pledged TO do.

to hold power until the FREQ state is fully
established.
Tho autonomy which the Irish have won
after centuries of struggle, and for which
the machinery to make 1t effective will now
be set up, places them on an equal footing
with the Canadians, South Africans and
Australians, peoples that have found the
British connection no bar to the fullest ex-
preston OF individuality and national de-
veopment The bond between Ireland and
Great Britain Is somewhat more than nomi-
nal. but 1t Is no obstacle to the free express
sion OF the national aspirations Of the peo-
pie. In the opinion of the British, it is
necessary for the protection of the home
realm.
II is foresecn that De Valera and his fol-
lowing will wage a campaign to wreck the
treaty, but In view of the fact that the Irish
people are known to be overwhelmingly for
the treaty, it is uncomfortable that this an
tagonistic movement will receive much pop
uiar support. To fight on for their concep-
ton of republicanism will bring the De
Valera faction into collision with the pri-
mary essential OF successful republicanism
DE Valera has professed that he received
inspiration from the teachings Of Jefferson
In the long fight he waged for free republi-
can government. but his attitude now is
strikingly inconsistent with Jenersonian
teachings. If. as Jefferson said, acquies-
cence in the will OF the majority is the cs-
sence and vital principle OF democracies
the Irish FREQ State in the opposition of
the De Valera faction encounters at the very
outset an ordeal determinative of its WORTH
ness for sef-rule under tho forms of democ-
racy.
Fortunately. popular expression has been
so universal in support Of the treaty that it
is not believed that turbulent obstruction.
II IT should be resorted to by tho irrecon-
ciiables, will last long. a popular referen-
dunn. giving opportunity to vote for and
against the new plan of government, would
no doubt return such an overwhelming
verdict Of approval as effcctualy to silence

The Strike n Reality

IT HE street car strike is reality. II
1 came TO pass last night at midnight in
conformity with an order issued by the
president Of the organized wOrkmen on their
mandate as expressed by u vote taken in
the cities OF Richmond. orfolk, Petersburg
and Portsmouth. This morning finds the
union employees OF the Virginia Railway and
Power Company either operating jitneys or
out of employment in the middle of Il winter
during which unemployment has been SO
widespread as to cause national concern.
All the water preceding the actual strike
has passed over the dam. Richmond and
its sister cities failed TO avert the walk
out. They failed even to take serious CON
certhd steps TO avert It. The things that
they might have done to bring about an
amicable settlement, were not done. They
stood idly by while the controversy be-
tween the traction company and its en-
ployes still was susceptible TO another and
happier determination than the one il has
reached. The result OF their supineness may
be read in the headlines. 1t will be seen
in the unemployment of hundreds of good
citizens. and it may be felt In the inconven-
fence of thousands OF people who are forced
TO depend on the street ears for transpor-
tation. Perhaps now that the strike is
upon them they will be cncreized into ac-
tion looking toward It's settlement
Here in Richmond at least, ii can hardly
be said That sympathy is divided between
the company and its striking employees;
rather, il embraces them both II is realized
that the company has not had justice from
