COLLINS BRINGS
CRISIS IN ERIN
Overthrow of Free State
Regime Said to Be Planned
for Next Week.
By DANIEL O'CONNEIL.
International News service.

DUBLIN. March 23.-The Dali
Cabinet-the executive branch of
the Irish provisional government
was confronted with its worst
crisis today as a result of the
declaration by Roderick O'Connor
that an attempt would be- made by
the anti-Collins faction of the
Irish republican army next week
to overthrow the government.
Richard Mulcahy, minister of de-
Tense in the Irish provisional gov
eminent. contends that a ma jority
OF the Irish republican army does
not favor Sundays convention.
"Out of p fourteen divisional and
five brigade commands only five
divisional commanders and two
brigade comma nders favor holding
the convention" said Mulcahy.
Under such circumstances the con
vention would be only sectional"
The seriousness Is intensified by
the apparent fact that leaders of the
Irish republican army ARE to hold
the proposed military convention
on Sunday in defiance OF the wishes
of Collins and Griffith.
Collins and Griffith are expected
to take at once drastic steps to deal
with the threatened mutiny and re.
bellion.
Collins, in replying to statements
made by the London Morning Post,
denied that the Nrish republican
army crossed the Ulster frontier and
raided police barracks at Maghera
and Pomeroy. He pointed out that
between February IL and March 6
not less than thirty nine persons
were murdered in Belfast--the seat
of the Ulster Unionist government.

By PHILIP FRANCIS.

That Maine election ought to
make the Republican leaders think
a whole lot.
The fight in the third district
was waged upon the issue Of en-
dorsing the Administrations pol.
icies-including, Of course, the
treaties.
Mr.. Harding Is popular. People
feel very kindly toward him per-
sonally. His modesty and good
nature and the difficulties inherit
ed from Wilson combine to make
most folks we'll disposed toward
Warren c., and very willing to
make excuses for a reasonable
amount of mistakes made in his
first year.
Then, too. the third Main dis
trict Is a k.ribbed partisan Re-
publican stronghold, where many
voters will frankly tell you that
they would vote for a yellow cog
on the Republican ticket rather
than to vote for the best man in
Maine on a Democratic ticket.
Majority Is Reduced.
Yet in spite OF all this, a Re-
publican majority of over $4,000
votes in 1920 was cut to one of
5000 in Mondays election. That
is the effect the foreign alliance
policy OF Hughes. Root, Lodge,
ct al. has had upon Maine Repub-
leans. The same effect in dis
tricts and States closer tnan
Maine. and less partisan than
Maine, will destroy the Republican
majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives next November, and will
put many Senators and the Hard
ing Administration out VI office
in 1924.
This is the first reply tho voters
have had q chance to make to Mr..
Lodges threat that Republican
Senators who voted against the
treaties would be knocked out at
the polls by popular resentment.
1t is a good answer, but not the
kind predicted by Lodge. The
Third Maine District has borne out
the prediction of better judges of
popular feeling than is the aristo-
cratic Lodge, that this attempt to
revive a limited league of four
nations will wreck the Republican
party exactly as Wilson's attempt
to entangle America In his league
wrecked his Administration. his
personal reputation, and his party
But to paraphrase the profound
remark Of Hegel, we learn from the

RACE TRACKS IN
MARYLAND ARE

Senate Today Will Consider
Four Measures Affecting
Their Interests.

ANNAPOLIS, March 23.-RacinG
and race track betting in Maryland
would be killed IL a bill introduced
yesterday in the general assembly by
Senator Parran. Calvert county,
should be adopted. 1t was referred
by President Norris to the finance
committee.
The only racing which would he

fide agricultural or county fairs, then
only for q five-day meet and withou,

The fight on racing is expected to
break in the senate today. Four
bills now are in the hands Of the
finance committee. One is the anti
race track betting bill, introduced in
the upper house by Senator Byrn.
which has been characterized as "A
"bookmakers' bill" This measure
has passed the house, where 1t was
offered by Delegate Hall, who car.
ried with him In forcing it's passage
practically all of the uplift forces that
voted with him for the State prohibl-
ton enforcement act and against the
referendum.
The other two measures wipe out
the present Is per cent tax on net
receipts Of tracks and the $4,000 daily
fee imposed by the State and imposed
instead a straight $4,000 n day tax.
They differ slightly in the maximum
number OF days OF racing and in the
amount Of money to be turned over
from fees to agricultural fairs. Both

PACT DISCIPLES
CONFIDENT
AS VOTE NEARS
Zero Hour for Treaty Finds
Ranks Growing Decidedly
Wobbly.
By POLITICUS.

The decisive hour is approaching
on the four-power alliance. The
pro-treaty Senators still peofess to
have in sight a comfortable margin
above the two-thirds majority neces-
sary for its ratification. But a
scrutiny of their lists demonstrates
that the decision rests entirely in
the hands of a few Senators who
have been listed as friendly to the
treaty despite the fact that their
support has never been more than
l.alf- hearted.
The whole thing IL rather wobbly.
Neither Senator Lodge nor Senator
Underwood has been able 10 enforce
any real discipline In their respec-
tive followings. Senator Lodge has
and to hold the large majority Of
Republicans In line. but that has
Leen about all. He thinks he has
enough. But he Ia not sure. At no
time has he been able to induce
more than "A half dozen Of his fol-
lowers to agree upon a treaty inter
probation o. TO make their argu-
ments coincide.
Senator Underwood has had an
even harder task. for he has found
that his leadership Of the Demo.
cratic party in the Senate has been
only nominal. He has had to sit
silent while Senator Robinson of
Arkansas ran off with something
like three.fourths OF the Democratic
army. Nor has the Senator from
Alabama made a stiff battle at any
zine to maintain his leadership.
The most interesting development
in this aspect of the fight is the
part which President Harding has
played since his return from
Florida. The White House has tried
10 aid the treaty by personal appeals
to Senators who had been listed as
doubtful. II was upon a special
White House invitation that Sen
ators Smith OF South Carolina and
Mcclellan OF Tennessee-both Demo
crats-were summoned to visit
with President Harding to discuss
their treaty votes. All that the
President got for his pains. how
ever. was a definite statement by
Senator Smith that he would oppose
the four-power alliance and n state
ment from Senator Mcclellan that
he would probably do the same. A
few more visits of the kind and the
treaty Is lost.
The debate on the floor has be.
tome a little snapper because all
oratory Is now limited 10 one-hour
speeches. A lot Of things can be
said in an hour, II one has some
thing to say. But there is a sur
rrlslngly long list OF Senators who
could recite all they know about
the four.power treaty in a good deal
less than an hour. Most Of these
especially among the Senators who

These Senators feel h trace of I'M
fairness In the fact that II requires

speech. Any politician with a book

But a speech on treaty. especially
when the treaty Is as short and

pact. In quite beyond their depth.

have not spoken on the treaty might

Triumph OF Treaty Means COP.
Will Be Booted Out By U.S.. People

and are kicked out of office by the
same incensed people.
So Root and Hughes and Lodge
follow the footsteps Of Wilson and
raise a storm Of popular indigna-
lion which will sweep the White
House, and the Capitol entirely
clear of Republicans two years
from next fall.
The weakness of your average
man in the White Housee or in the
Senate is that he knows actually
nothing Of how the plain people are
thinking and talking Mt any stime.
He never does find this out until
election day drops something on
his think tank. Then 1t Is too late
to do him any good.
The only way to learn what com.
mon folks are thinking and saying
is to be one Of the common folks, TO
associate with common folks, TO eat
sleep, work, and play with common
folks. Your average Senator can't
do that. His dignity might get a
dent. His pedestal might be
scratched. Somebody might slap
him on the back or ask him for
a light from his cigar. Besides
It is natural for official birds OF q
feather to flock together. So they
grow in the fellowship OF the
exalted and play the game OF
tickle-me, tickle-you. until they lose
all touch with the bread and but
ter brigade and don't know at all
what the people are thinking and
saying.
That's why Lodge. for instance.
believes that the people favor these
treaties. He would not believe
that II he really knew the plain
people. Indeed, he would not.
As this Is being written, the fate
Of the treaties hangs in an even
balance. A single vote In the
Senate never had more decisive
power for good or Cor evil.
Lodge told Harding privately on
Tuesday that there were sixty
four Senators who would vote for
the alliance with England md
Japan. That is exacrly two-thirds
OF the Senate--and enough for the
purpose OF Root and Balfour.
With the sixty.foCr Lodge has
listed one man in whose superior
intelligence and high integrity and
intense Americanism mary Of tbs
still trust to take him out OF that
list. That man is Senator Norris

Premier Poincare's declaration
that France would pay her debt
to us was q brave gesture, but
q gesture only.
The French feel that the Brit
ish have supplsnted them In
America The French know. too,
that II they lose the sympathy Of
the United States, England will
have them completely isolated.
France will have around her the
ring Of iron" which Edward VII
forged around Germany, and
which crushed Germany when
England. France, and Russia were
ready to draw the ring tighter.
Nobody in the know believes
that France will ever repay
dollar she got from our people.
The Funding Commission. to
which Congress resigned its duty
and It's power, has already agreed
that neither France nor any other
of our European debtors will re.
pay it's borrowings. with tho ex-
ception Of England, which will
at least pay a few installments.
in order to put France in a worse
light.
The announcement in psrlia-
ment this week that England
would pay half years. interest
on her debt to us, was timed to
affect the vote on this treaty Of
alliances which England so anx-
iously desires and so desperately
needs.
Thus every diplomatic and pc.
litical maneuver In Europe is
made to get something from us
support or money or credit or
help in some deviltrv.
The anxiety to drag us into
their quarrels and entangle us In
the net Of their intrigues ought
to be warning enough against any
formal alliance of any kind with
any other nation. European or
Asiatic.
II they are so eager upon the
trail Of our riches and strength

have quit our advantageous post

other OF these diplomacies7

to draw US into another alliance

which we cannot better achieve
ourselves and which Will, sooner

famous diplomacies.
No wonder France Is uneasy.
No wonder Poincare says the
thing he knows to be false. No
wonder England laughs in her

behind her yellow mask.
It's the same glee the trapper
feels when he sees the game he

Trade Alliance With

Says Visiting Official
BY VIM. X. HUTCHINSON,
International News Service.


A trade alliance with the United
States to insure the commercial
supremacy Of the white race in the
Pacific is the hope of Australia,
Randolph Bedford, member Of the
Australian Parliament, informed the
International News Service today.
Bedford declared that the people
OF Australia universally condemned
the Anglo-Japanese alliance and
dreaded any new alliance involving
q yellow race"
1.-THE Anglo.Japanese alliance"
said Bedford, was looked upon as a
blow TO the prestige of the white
man in the Pacific. 1t was consid-
cred as an alliance with an enemy
nation. proven so by impudences
and insults. 1t was made originally
to protect India. not Australia"
Bedford, who is here to open mar.
kets for Australian coal, declared
Australian merchants desired a re-
ciprocal trade agreement with
America.
1T would be a banding of the
white races In the Pacific against
the yellow races" the Australian
added. Such an alliance must

used against Them" he continued.
They desire American goods in
preference to all other goods. even

The coming mine strike, he said,
