Secretary of Labor Davis Urges Both

There was no disposition in official
circles to conceal that Mr. Davis
statement, which explained again the
governments position, was one result
of the repeated refusal of Pennsyl-

central competitive field to enter ne

MANY HEAR GR|FF|TH'S
PLEA FOR FREE STATE
for Anglo-lrish Treaty
Opens in Dublin.

Dublin.-The crowds which gath.
cred today for the opening of the
campaign in favor of acceptance of
the Anglo-Irish treaty were notable
not only because of their vast proper,
tions, but also because of the high de.
gree of enthusiasm evinced.
The orators, in addition to Michael
Collins and Arthur Griffith, included
Joseph McGrath, minister of labor
William Cosgrove, minister for home
affairs. and other leaders in the pro-
visional government. Two platforms
weer constantly employed by the
speakers.
With the exception of a minor flag
incident, when girls and women tore
down a Free State tri-colOr, perfect
order was maintained by the Republi-
can police.
Mr.. Collins, in long speech, de-
Tended the treaty. He asserted that
once the free state was established, the
union of northeast Ulster with the re-
mainder of Ireland was certain. He
expressed determination to proceed to
the establishment of police force, de-
spite the warnings of canon DeValera.
1t would not be political force to pro-
tect any special election, but would he

Ireland
Mr.. Griffith's address was brief.
Both he and Mr.. Collins pointed to the
British troops leaving Ireland as being
proof that Ireland has not been be-
trayed.
The position in the northeast, Mr..
Collins said. was not IDEAL but there
were only two alternative issues
coercion or Cancellation. Whichever
alternative was adopted must be
adopted intellectually. All were
agreed against coercion, but the treaty
contained forces for persuasion which
would bring the northeast into bank.

state.

The conviction also was expressed
that all considerations OF economic re-

"Riequate action to that end be taken

orders"
In that connection, II also was
pointed out In the note that the Ameri-
can government believes nothing

Of economic advantages In Russia
which "would impair the just oppor-

issued that fair and equal economic
