that the Irish people gives its
sanction to the treaty at the com.

State is set up. A most extraor-
dinary position would result from
the first. The election will have

up-to-date democracies. and al.
though these young women took
a most important share in the
winning of the war. You will
therefore have from the first
some OF the most virile elements
OF the population smsrting under
the grievance OF not having been
able to give a vote in an election
deciding the destiny Of their coun-
try.
But there 10 a wider question
still. The election will be fought
under the threat Of renewed war
by the British. Mr.. Griffith has
declared that the issue will be
ito honor the treaty or revert to
war" To honor the treaty means
to surrender tho existing Irish re.
public and the independence of
Ireland and agree TO her entry
into the British empire a. a con-
Quered people. To ask q national
democracy at an election to
choose with a bayonet at his
throat between freedom and ex-
termination Is q thing never done
before In history and an in
iouitous thing.
The verdict Of that election. II

and void and will be considered

who vote for the treaty.
Apart from this you will have
the whole Of the present Repub-
lican party, which. though 1t may
be beaten at the polls, will at any
rate be a large minority violently
opposed to the surrender Of inde-
pendence which has been thrust
upon them. and determined to use
their utmost efforts TO regain II.
I am not saying anything about
civil war. That does not enter
into the question I am discussing.

unless It is settled by the return Of
the Irish people to that unity which
can only be based on independent

THE SENATORIAL FLOP.
The rather amusing thing about
my Senatorial friend, who wished
Mr.. Wilson persuaded not to deliver
his message In person, was that the
morning after the newspapers car.
ried this item:
Senator X. being asked what
he thought OF President Wilson's
breaking precedent and reading
his message to the members OF
Congress face to face. said:
Capital. II was a fine idea and 1t
is the first time that I have beon
In the Senate that q Presidential
message was impressive. The man.
ner Of his presentation of his views
was admirable. President Wilson
made himself felt and I hope we
shall never go back to the old plan
when the hum-drum reading Of 4
message from the President was a
signal for legislators to scramble
for the cloak-room. preferring TO
read it in the papers themselves.
Was this Senator insincere or a
lightning-change artist? Who can
tell. One thing Is true. He was
rarely found outside the breast
works.
READY TO ABDICATE.
But to come back to the sensa-
tions experienced in the Senate
over the debate on the tariff bill.
Senator Smoot had the foor. He
was not so vehement over .ho dan
ger OF Congressional abdication as
some Of his colleagues in 1890.
but he viewed with alarm then any
surrender of Congressional pre-
negatives to tho Executive as sub
versive Of the fundamental prin-
ciples Of sound Americanism.
Did my ears deceive me as I lis
tened to the Utah Senator? He Is
a master Of figures and schedules
but ne wasn't talking in numerals
except by force Of habit he dropped
into them now and then. He was
advocating-think of II. men and
brethren!-that Congress transfer
to tho President Of tho United
States the power to fix tariff rates
The Constitution compels the origi.
nation OF revenue measures in the
House Of Representatives.. The in
nuence and dignity OF the House
began to wane when II permitted
the Senate to usurp that power in
fact. by virtually sending the
House measures on raising revenue
to the scrap heap and writing nm
entirely new act to raise revenue.
Once the House was jealous CT that
prerogative. But the men who had
put up tho campaign fund. and
thereby secured the right to fix the
tariff taxes to recoup themselves.
found II easier to deal with the
Senate than with the House. In
fact. Aldrich knew more about
tariff schedules and who ought to
be helped by them than the whole
Ways and Means Committee. And
&C he wrote the bill. But Aldrich
did not surrender the power to the
President He kept II IN the Sena-
torial power. All he let Mr.. Taft
dc was to make a speech declaring
that bill of denominations was "the
best ever" That was tho end Of

can tho present Chief Executive
hope to avoid tho fate OF Taft.
THE PRESIDENT SUPREME.
Under the smoot plan. while
Congress imposes rates which are
higher than ever before known
and wholly indefensible. the
President Of tho United States
is given full power:
I. To modify tariff rates either
upward or downward.
2. To change the basis for the
assessment Of ad valorem duties
from tho foreign value to the
value of the domestic article in
the American market.
). To impose penalty duties or
prohibit the importation of partic-
ular goods.
4. To impose additional duties
on the whole or any part Of the
imports into the United States.
To be SURF there is the usual
camouflage Of words that tho
President can exercise these
powers only for the purpose Of
preventing unfair competition or
discrimination. These are mean.
insless. for all the Chief Execu-
tive would have to do would be
to double the duties and say II

tions just as now he removes any

that all civil service clerks be
confronted with charges and an
opportunity to reply to them b.

CHANGES WHILE YOU WAIT.
Tho sensation and thrill given in
the Senate that day was the rover
sal Of Senatorial sentiment. Where.
as. two years ago It was a crisis
for a President to negotiate a
treaty without frequent consulta-
tion with the Senate. the very
men who were then 80 jealous for

FAMINE BECOMES
STILL MORE ACUTE

Reports are being spread broad
cast throughout the press of the
country to the effect that the fam
inc in Soviet Russia is over and that
no further aid is needed
These reports are absolutely
groundless. On the contrary, the
famine is becoming more acute and
is invading new territories. At the
present time there is terrible crisis
in the Ukraine and Crimea, due to
the draining of food from those areas
and the influx of refugees evacuated
from the Volga region.
The sufferings of the population
in the Ukraine and Crimea are as
full of horrors as those endured by
the famine-stricken on the Volga.
There are millions of children,
women and men without food. The
city population is suffering most, so
that relief will have to be directed
particularly to those localities. There
are more than 80 million people af-
fected, and aid is needed without
| delay. The A. r. A. does not claim
to be feeding more than 100000
throughout Soviet Russia, yet the
| real number fed by them is ,900,-
600 children receiving an average of
700 calories per day and 100000
adults receiving mainly one pound of
corn.
The Quakers are feeding 285 900
children at 800 calories, the Interna-
| tional Children's Relief, an English
organization. 715,000, the Amster-
dam International of Trade Unions
about 100000. all other Red Cross
organizations combined $4,000. The
Workers International Relief Com
mittee feeds 100000, its relief, fur
thermore, being of more permanent
character, since it is aiding in pro-
ductive work in Soviet Russia.
1t is obvious, therefore, that there
are millions without food.

this cool analysis of the situation:

FARMER-LABOR
PARTY PLATFORM
ADOPTED AT CONVENTION AT
SEATTLE, JUNE 3-5, 1922.
PREAMBLE,

PREAMBLE.
In times past, the toilers of the
earth have borne the burdens of
war patiently. The great world war
has changed this. With thrones
crumbling and dynasties disinteg
rated, the producers are demanding
new world for labor.
The dominant parties in congress
and our legislatures have shown very
clearly that they have no sympathy
with these new aspirations of La
Dor. They are determined that the
old order of exploitation shall con-
tinue with its rich reveling in lux
ury and those who do the worlds
work struggling for mere exist
ence.
In many states the workers with
hand and brain, in field and factory,
are coming together to work for
sweeping changes. both political and
economic. The time is here for such
action in the State of Washington.
Believing that Labor and those who
sympathize with it can function bet
ter as the Farmer-Labor Party of
the State of Washington, We adopt
the following platform:
