Launches Campaign Against Pro-

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, February 1S--Eamonn De
Valera opened the campaign against
the provisional government yesterday
with a great demonstration held in
OConnelI street. Three large plat
forms had been placed for speakers
and each was surrounded by large
crowds. Members Of the republican
and metropolitan police regulated the
street was suspended for an hour by
order OF the republican chief of po-
lice.
MIR. De Valera was accorded a great
reception. He spoke from the prin-
clpa1 platform at the Parneil statue
six resolutions were proposed during
the meeting, outlining the attitude of
the republicans.
The resolutions affirmed that the
Irish nation was one and fndivisible
is derived solely from the Irish peo-
pie; that the British crown is an
alien crown, and that Ireland Is no
part of the British empire.
Tie resolutions further declared that
the articles Of the London agreement
failed to represent the true desires Of
the Irish people; that the treaty was
obtained under duress, and that the
dali earearn is not competent to
give it legal sanction and, therefore.
it is null and void. They. added that
to force upon ireland an election in
volving recognition Of partition be-
fore the dali eireann has expressed
it's sanction is unconstitutional An
additional resolution called upon the
people for support of the dependents
of prisoners.
Mr. De Valera in his speech said
IL was a lie that the Irish people
would by a majority accept the
treaty.

AMERICA LOSING
WORLD SHIPPING
Plea Made for Preservation
of Merchant Marine by
Federal Aid.
BY the AssocIn ted Press.

NEW YORK. February 13.-Prescr-
walton of the American merchant ma
rine by federal aid as a means Of pre-
venting other nations from cornering
the worlds commerce, was urged by
Edward c. Plummer commissioner of
the United States Shipping Board. in
an address before the National Re-
publican Club here.
Mr.. Plummer pointed out that,
whereas in the year ending Septem-
Der 20. 1920, ships owned in this coun-
try carried 81 per cent of Americas
ocean freight. they carried only 80
per cent in the last fiscal year.
Foreign Countries Taking Trude.
THE foreigner has taken from US
the bulk of our ocean carrying busi-
ness" MIR. PIummer said. "by reduc-
way in which We can regain that
which We have lost is by enabling
our ships to make rates lower than
the foreign ships can meet.
Every time the ocean rate on car
goes is reduced it means lower
cost to our people on all goods I'm
ported, and 1t also enables the eN-
ported goods of Americans to be de-
livered in foreign markets at cheap
er price than would otherwise be pos
=
there anG giving increased employ
ment to workmen of this country.
Federal aid would make il possible
for the Shipping Board and private
owners to underpid foreign competi-
tion, Air. Piummer asserted. This, III
turn. would cause billions of dollars
worth of American-owned vessels To
return to normal value. and would
enable the board to dispose of its
property at more nearly its cost 70
them, and would frmly establish the
American flag in the ports OF t!i-
world.
Declared Business Proposition.
at is a plain business proposition"
the speaker continued. 1--WE have the
ships. The investment is there. We
have the power at comparatively
moderate cost to make those ships q
valuable asset. II the millions Of dol
lars which these ships now are caus-
ing to be spent-most of it in carinb
for t;ed-up ships which are steadily
decreasing in vaiue-could be divert
ed to the direct assistance of these
Fame ships, the net result would be :.
real decrease in actual cost and tli'
creation and maintenance OF pri-
vately owned merchant marine OF an
estimable value in supporting perms.

LONDON. February 1S.-The situ-
alton in Ireland. which had seemed to
be improving under the apparent ef-
forts of Arthur Griffith and Michael
Collins to obtain the release of the
KIDNAPPED Ulstermen, has become
acutely dangerous as the result of the
Clones affray on Saturday.
The Times Dublin correspondent
saws dismay followed the news of.the
clash,\ in which four special Ulster
constabies were killed, eight wounded
and six made. prisoner. and the leader
OF the Slim Feiners, Matthew Fitxpat-
rick, shot dead. The provisional gov
ernment was perturbed. as the affair
dashed the high hopes based upon its
amnesty proclamation and the British
decision to release all prisoners held
for offenses committed in England
from Irish political motives prior to
the truce in Ireland. Developments
are awaited with the utmost anxiety.
Shooting Accounts Vary.
There Is some conflict in the ac-
counts of how the shooting was pre-
cipitated. Irish republican army men
at Clones and their sympathixers take
the stand that armed and uniformed
Ulstermen had no right to enter Free
State territory and subjected them
selves to arrest by SO doing. 1t Is
