SprouI, i'm Treaty Plea,
Urges Grow to Resign
Asks Senator, Too Til to Cast
Vote, so Insure Full Penn
syIyania Strength
special Dispntch 10 The Tribune

PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-Gover-
nor Sproul to-day sent an appeal to
Senator William f. Crow. urging him to
consider the calamity to the nation and
the other great powers concerned
should the four-power treaty be de
featcd in the Senate Friday next
through lack of an Affirmative vote
from Pennsylvania. Senator Crow is
i'll and must be absent from the Senate
at that time.
In making that appeal Governor
Sproul said he was considering only
the interest OF the nation and his ac-
tion was prompted by the urgent stu
alton in the Senate. Great pressure
has been brought upon Mr.. Sproul to
see to it that Pennsylvania j. repre-
sented by two votes in the Senate when
the pact comes finally to vote. Sem
ator Crows refusal to resign the seat
he is unable to fiji makes that impos-
sibe unless he quickly changes his
mind
There was no indication from the
Senator to-day that he would resign.
His friends said his family were in
sistent that having announced ne
would not be candidate for the Sen
atoriaI nomination in May, he should
keep his seat until the expiration OF
the Knox term.
One explanation Of the Senator'S re-
fusal to resign offered to-day was that
he had learned factionalists were US
ing his sea. as the stake in a political
game, which he feared might work out
to the disadvantage OF some Of MS
closest friends, and that accordingly
he had decided to Illustrate such plans.

plans.
Experts of the ministries mentioned
have worked out details of Germanv's
point of view in great detail, but it ia

these matters is the forthcoming Pres

Dali Eireanu Cabinet Meets

DUBLIN, March 21 (By The Associ-

Dali Eireann Cabinet was held tonight
to consider the situation in Belfast and
along the Ulster-Free State border
Messages from the frontier indicate
that both sides are perfecting war ar
rangements.
Two more bridges have been blown
up near Strabane, County Tyrone, and
telegraph poles cut down and thrown
across the road.
Civilians are continuing to move
across the border, fearing an outbreak
of hostilities
The Dali publicity department this
afternoon issued n statement dealing
with acts. of alleged aggression by vi

age to property The statement said
that James McHugh, farmer, return
ing from a fair, was forced to his knees
and ordered to curse the Pope and the
King and say, "God bless the specials" >"
McHugh refused and volley was fired
over his head.
In the same district, the statement

Of joint problems had broken down
The Ulster Premier told a dcputaton
of Catholic workers who had been ex-
PEELED from Belfast industries that he
could not reinstatc them in their jobs
although he had agreed with Collins
that he would do so. He explained that
the state Of Unionist feeling in the
North and the tcnseness of the boun-
dary situation made it impossible for
him to carry out his promises.
Hitherto the CraigCollins agree-
ment has been carried out except as 1t
concerned the readjustment Of the
frontier. In view of the new attitude
of Sir James, the Sim Fein boycott Of
Orange goods will probably be REIN
posed and the dispute between North
and South will be back where it was
before the Craig-Collins agreement
was concluded.
The Labor party in southern Ireland,
which is becoming active in preparing
for the general elections, has already
served notice on the Free State Cabinet
that it will take Independent action If
the boycott is not reimposed.

Winston Churchill, chairman Of the
Irish affairs committee Of the British
mons tonight that the border situa
tion was serious, although General Sir
Nevil Macready, commander of the
British troops in Ireland. regarded the
newspaper reports as somewhat exag
gerated. He said that the liaison com
missions were not working properly,
but that this was no fault of the
officers.
In the House of Lords the Free State
bill was again under attack from the
die hard Unionists, but Lord Lans-
downe. of that party, practically killed
all hope of defeating the measure
when he announced that he personally
did not want to wreck the treaty or
hamper the efforts of the Free Staters
to maintain peace. Lord Salisbury,
Lord Lansdowne and Lord Carson all
united in urging that the amendments
proposed be considered on their merits,
but Viscount Peel, Secretary for India.
speaking for the government, resisted
all the amendments, on the ground
that they would destroy the treaty. On
one amendment vote the governments
ma jority fell as low as nine, but all
made by the die-hards were
defeated.
