Ireland Collins rather has the better OF the
argument, so far as the disposition Of the people

shown its sympathy for the free state movement
long before that came into existence. Now that
ii is an established fact, no good reason exists
to suppose that these same Irishmen have
changed their minds and are willing to continue
with Belfast in the union. Arthur Griffth's ut
terance should content the Ulstermen. He says
no attempt will be made to coerce any part of
Ulster that votes to stay out OF the Free State,
nor will there be any toleration OF an attempt to
cocrce those who wish to come in. In other
words, now that the matter is referred to the
Irish, and any trouble will be between lrshnlen,
II is the wish of the new government that the
matter be settled without resort to violence. As

send Sir James home to his people, with re-

a party to the coercion OF either Ulster or the
Free State Of Ireland. However, it also seems
safe to assume that there will be no coercion,

Rearransins the Army.

General Pershings recommendation to con-
ssess that the number OF commissioned officers
in the army be cut from 10000 to $4,000 has
more than its saving OF money to support it.
On the basis OF fighting force Of 10000, which
is the limit sought at present. the existing roster
OF 1900 commissioned officers means more than
one to each ten enlisted men. Such an arrange
ment is absurd. On war footing the ratio is
about to so. Conceding that considerable
part OF the present force is occupied with the
training work given to officers only, the topheavy
aspect is not relieved.
The situation is not one of the officers max

Agreement ON Shantung

Agreement on terms for the restoration OF
Shantung to China is triumph for straight
forwardncss as against crcuitousness in diplo-
macy. 1t is a triumph also for patience and
determined endeavor beyond the point where
abandonment of the enterprise might have seemed
to be justified.
With the Shantung controversy out OF the
way, and with agreement reached as to main
tenance ,of the status quo in Pacific fortiica-
tions, a near and successful conclusion of the
arms and far eastern conference is in sight 1t
is true that ratification of the agreements by
the United States senate remains to be achieved,
but that may not be as difficult as it seems.
There will be opposition in the senate, of course,
but public sentiment apparently is overwhem-
ingly back of the conference treaties and public
sentiment is as potent an influence in the senate
as it is elsewhere.
The conference is destined to close without
having accomplished all that was hoped for it
by those who were more optimistic than they
were informed. But already it has accomplished
a great deal more than was believed possible by
those who had understanding of the difficulties
to be overcome. An accomplishment bigger
even than the agreements it has arrived at is
the influence it will have on the future inter-
course of nations. Never again will the public
opinion of the world support the course OF any
government which refuses to take its grievances
into conference and seek every possible means of
peaceful adjustment. And, the world having
seen the difficult and menacing problems OF the
Pacific yield to negotiations in the Washington
conference, it will not readily believe that there
can exist between nations any differences which
would not yield to the same Observation-Disclosures

Dawes Has Made Good.

Having turned an inevitable deficit into the
welcome prospee, OF an all but assured surplus,
Charles G. Dawes. director OF the budget. Is
now before the country in the admirable posi-
ton OF one who has made good in a Difficult,
posi,ion. Theoretically, the budget system would
work like charm; what II would do in a praeti-
cal application oil its principles none could say in
advance. Il is a departure from custom as old
as the government; in some respects II Is extra
constitutional, for the fundamental law provides
that all appropriation measures mus, originate
in the house OF representatives. A wall OF tradi-
iion and departmental inertia stretched across
its pathway, and TO an ordinary soul the task
OF breaking through these would have appeared
dreary one.
General Dawes found il much to his liking,
however. The "hel and Maria spirit applied
here with such neatness that the general waded
into the bulge, job with zest and determination.
He made no bones about wha, he thought was
needed. but told the cabinet officers, bureau
heads. chief clerks and the res, just wha, they
might expect. So far he has not brought about
every improvement lie hoped to install, but he
has located a lot OF the holes and plugged so
many OF them that the president says the secre-
tary OF the treasury will write the balance in
black instead Of red ink at the end OF the fiscal
year.
Uncle Sam may not have Charley" Dawes on
his pay roll permanently, although he is needed
but for the sake of the countrys pocke,book
it is dcvoutly to be wished that the methods in
stalled by the director OF the budget take root
and grow as strongly as did the wasteful prac-
tices he has broken down.

lined in the agenda, confronted with questions
iraught with admitted danger, and requiring cx-
treme delicacy in approach, the assemblage has
produced a signal triumph for American
diplomacy, the shirt-sleeve variety, that believes
in straightforward bargaining when the future
welfare of the world is at stake Arthur J.
Balfour, head Of the British delegation, sun-
ming up at the conclusion, said:
Exactly II weeks ago the president OF the
United States, in an eloquent speech in which
he naugurated our meeting, asked us to ap-
proach our labors with full consciousness that
we were working for the welfare OF mankind.
Looking back over that IL weeks, ! think
we may say without undue self-esteem that the
advice so nobly rendered has been taken and
we have had consciousness that we were
working in the service OF mankind.
Adding that the great moral questions have
been met" Mr.. Balfour stated that any nation
which did not recognize the work OF the con-
ference, particularly as regards China. will be
considered outside the comfy of nations. In
plain words, the treaties adopted and the under
standings recorded Hereunder are for the guild
ance Of all the world as we'll as for the signatory
powers.

that was promised for it, even to producing
results of greater merit and more expansive in
