GAELIC LEAGUE TO VOTE
ON TREATY OF LONDON

Delegate cards have been dispatched
from Dublin to Sim Fein bodies all over
Ireland in connection with the meeting
of the Ard Fheis (annual convention of
the Gaelic League Of freland). to be
held in the Mansion House next Tues
day, 1t is uncertain whether Arthur
Griffith and Michael Collins will prevail
against Eamon de Valera. The issue is
clearly defined by resolution to be
proposed by the latter declaring that
until Ireland has been recognized inter-
nationally as a republic the spirit and
letter of the constitution Of Sim Fein
shall remain as it's was before the sign
ing OF the treaty in London.
This challenge Is squarely met in n
resolution TO be introduced by Mr.. Grif-
fifth calling on the Ard Fheis. in accord
ance with its decision of allegiance to
the Dali Eireann November /. 1921, to
honor the action of the Dali in APPROX
ing the London peace treaty. decision
by the Ard F'heis against the treaty
would be q serious blow for Griffith
and Collins, for at the general election
they would be opposed by all the official
machinery of the Sim Fein.

memorandum was meant to serve as a

for her assent to haEy policy for
European reconstruction which she did
not understand.
Revolt I'm France,
Taken unawares, French opinion re-
volted. 1t seemed that the British Gov
ernment had sprung yet another sur
prise upon the French Government
which had been caught mapping. All the
accumulated French dislike for what
Lord Grey has called 'Jerkiness' found
vent in the movement of opinion that
led to the withdrawal of Aristide BRAND
from office. In these circumstances little
or no attention was paid to the impor-
tant memoranda exchanged between the
British and the italian delegations In
| Cannes.
Had the British preamble to the pro-
posed pact of guaranty not been pub
lished, or had it been preceded by ar

effect might have been different. As

conference seemed to have been bought
at the price of the guaranty for which

negotiations of the Versailles Treaty.

from 1t was not improved by the ap-

The scene was one of great enthusi-

in other days would be called rebel

since the war French opinion rs not as
well informed as 1t was before hostilities
began. and particularly as regards the
war France Is not now looked upon by
the outside world as she used to be.
The sense of superiority born of VIC
tory and justifiable pride in the heroism
OF the nation may have helped to make
France trifle careless of the good
opinion OF other countries. The con-
sciousness of her rights and indisputable
claims may have caused her for time
to assign a secondary place TO what
others may have held to be her inter-
national duties-save in cases where
those duties were clearly coincident with
her immediate interests.
When the Cannes conference met the
French people had no knowledge Of the
position in which they had been placed
by the mistakes of their delegates in
Washington. 1T may be doubted
whether NJ BRAND himself fully re-
allied the position until after his return.
The failure Of the impracticable Franco
British suggestion that an economic
conference In Washington should be
tackled on to the Conference on Limita-
tion OF Naval Armaments and on Pa
cific questions seems, however, to have

The conviction was sound In itself.
1t was, indeed, urgent that the spectacle
of Anglo French discord in Washington
should cease. and that it should be re-
placed by proof of an Anglo-French
agreement and determination on the part
of the French and British governments
to work for the economic restoration OF
Europe concurrently with reasonable
handling of the reparations question.
Not Ready for Change.
Thus M. BRAND went to London.

had not been prepared for a sudden
change from apparent enmity to apparent

certainly made for important changes in
the treatment of reparations, and ap-
parently for an international conference
on lines similar to those proposed at
Cannes for Genoa. When questioned by
a competent Parliamentary commission
on the point, M. BRAND, however created
a definite impression that no arrange
ments had been entered into. Thus he
went to Cannes leaving an important
sectfsp of French legislative opinion un-

The Somewhat spectacular decision in

The deeper one looks beneath the
surface of things in France the more
Intimately one discusses both the pos
sibility of an agreement with Great
Britain and the obstacles to such an
agreement. the clearer does it become
that the main, If not the only real,
obstacle is distrust.
To make catalogue of the reasons
for this distrust would be to write the
history Of Anglo French relations
since the peace conference. There is
no need to again set forth the British
view of the French shortcomings or
merely to make a list of matters re-
garding which France feels British
statesmen have not dealt fairly with
her. 1t is more important to explain
the present position insofar as it may
be susceptible of public explanation
and to face it squarely,
For this purpose it is necessary to
go farther back than the Cannes con-
ference and the preliminaries thereto.
The French public, and even French
public men, are only now beginning
to realize that Cannes was the Off
spring of Washington and that the
chief justification for the attempt to
conclude a positive agreement between
Great Britain and France before the
end of the Washington conference was
the expectation that such an agree
ment might promote the complete sue
cess of the Washington conference it
self. and, incidentally. facilitate Amer
lean cooperation with the European
Powers in the task of restoring the
world to a more normal economic
condition.
French public opinion, although sub
ject to rapid changes, is not. as a rule,
elastic. Since the war it has tended TO
become more rigid and to have less
patience than was the case during the
decade before the war. / have IN i'm

fore expected In diplomatic circles that
the conference will be postponed to a
day considerably later than the date set,
March 8.
Advices from abroad indicate that
France has become lukewarm toward
the economic conference. and, while the
Poincare Government must carry out the
commitments of the BRAND Ministry. 1t
is felt that France IS not likely to con-
tribute TO its success.
Most disappointment is felt. however,
over the attitude taken by the United
States, which was looked to by the
European nations as having II within
its power TO contribute very materially
to the relief of Europe's economic strain.

INFORMATION IS
 FROM UNOFFICIAL!
 DEPARTMENT LEAK

A private letter received here from the Fast is the au- thoritY for the statement that plans are now being considered in Washington for the expenditure of one hundred million dollars ill Resurrection Bay within the next one or two years Ill con- struction of a naval station. dry docks and coal bunkers.
 The information is not of fcial but is fairly reliable by reason of the fact that it comes direct from a depart mental employe in Washing ton.
 The interest which the present administration has shown in Alaska recently in- dicates that the United State was about ready to re- alize on the natural resources of Alaska. The development of the wealth of Alaska is re- garded as the easiest way for the United States to pay off it's war debt.
 The Pacific Treaty forbids the fertilization of the Aleu- tian Islands and it is believ- ed the base of operations for the North Pacific fleet will be established at Seward where coal will be available. not only for ships calling here but for all coaling sta tions in the Pacific.
 If the information regard ing this huge expenditure is correct this is probably the idea being developed at the capital.
