quoted Colonel Hull of the Judge
Advocate Generals office who told
the committee on military affairs
that the bill requires that Mr.. Ford
manufacture 10000 tons of fixed
nitrogen annually.
Mckenzie answers the question
why Ford asks for 100 year lease
rather than so year lease in the
following manner:
"The proposal of Mr.. Ford to form
corporation and to take over the
property for period of 100 years
is a thing of far more Importance
than the payment of a few millions
of dollars. And his obligation that

not forgotten the lesson received by

roads, and they are still paying and

tinued.s DO you think that they

gress. An experiment station to
furnish information for the benefit
of the great commercial fertilizer
interests? The farmers are not be-
ing deceived in this matter. They
understand Just what 1t would mean
for the government to undertake to
maintain those great plants even In
a standby" condition and further
more understand the difficulties
which would confront the govern
ment should it undertake the manu-
facture and the sale of electric cur
rent in a territory now controlled
with net work of transmission
lines, the property of the Alabama
Power company.
NO Sir they are not deceived.
They know what they want and
agree with them, that rather than
undertake government operation OF
this plant and make it bone of a
political contention, it would be in-
definitely cheaper for the govern
ment to pay tribute to the Chilean
Nitrate Barons and purchase an
nually large quantities of fertilizer

Free State-Execu-
ton Defended
BY Associated Press

DUBLIN, Dec. 29.-William Cos
grave, in statement tonight to the
Associated Press, explained the me-
cessity for the Free State govern
ment to put into force its stern
measures of repression against the
dissident factions in Ireland. Lem
ency had proved ineffective and on
behalf of at least 9S per cent of the
people, the government had found it
necessary to make the others ere
alize the iniquity of the destruction
and the degradation and misery
they were bringing on the mother
land"
1.-THE leniency hitherto shown by
the government, which is represen-
tative of at least SO per cent of the
people, having had little effect on
the rank and file of the irregulars
and none at all on their leaders, it
became necessary to take stern
measures to restore order" Mr.. Cos
graves statement said.
Lenicncy Intellectual
Until recently prisoners taken in
ambushes and armed robberies, or ar
rested even for deliberate murder of
unarmed soldiers or civilians, merely
were interned In the hope that le-
nient treatment, when compared with
that melted out in the. past by an
alien government would soften their
hearts and make them realize the
iniquity of the destruction and the
degradation and misery they were
bringing on the motherland.
Far, however. from having this
effect. the assurances of safety and
comfort on capture made every rob-
Der and evil doer a camp follower of
the irregulars, helping them In, rob-
bling banks. smashing railways, ETC..
and generally living as parasites on
