In the progress of Arthur Griffith from Eng fish prison to President of the Irish Free State all within space of little than six months, be traced the gap brdged by the Anglo-Irsh nego- tations during that time During the latter part oi last June Griffith was released from Mountjoy prison, where he had been confined since November, 1920, to attend the negotiations. He went to London in July and was chairman of the Irish delegation which position he held until the successful culmna- ton on December 6. In the months debate following before Dali Eireann on the treaty, MT. Griffith led the fight for ratification which successful and in which was involved the dramatic resignation O. de Valera President and his election as Pre5l- dent of the Irish Free State
 Observers in Ireland agree that the sentiment there overwhelmingly for ratification and the claim is made that had it been put to vote not q single constituency would have rejected it. It doe not therefore possible that the opposition will be able to unseat Mir Griffith's government the of its organization the ratification of the treaty.

The Next Washington Conference.
lNaW StateSmanl

What is becoming clearer every day in Washington that the conference will have succeeded unless it reprOduces itself. It's promise is illimable It has already shown that international problems may be dealt with by methods and in spirt-in brief, that international cooperation is not hope essy remote ideal. It has proved to be conference of kind that has never taken place before. It may still acheeve little that is immediately measureabe. but it has opened a vista We would earnestly suggest, however, that what is immediately important
 is that the Washington conference, irrespective of what may actually achieve before breaks up should arrange for another meeting, preferably in Wash ington again. We not whoehearted admirers ot the New World but in this matter of the reorgani- zation of international relations the New World has overwhelming advantages. It has traditions and commitments, and it has atmosphere which tends to neutralize the evil traditions of the Old World. Things be said and done in Washin gton which would be impossible in Paris and very difficult in London. We ought to send our atesmen, and pecially Foreign Secretaries, a pilgrimage how to sweep away the cobwebs of European dplo. macy. Then but till then, will it be possible hold a successful Conference of the World on this side of the Atlantic. The question is will America thus extend her hospitality and above all, will she recognize that conferences of the Allied and Asso- ciaed Powers never achieve what might be achieved by greater and therefore authoritative gatherings? We must meet again, but Germany and Russia not be left out The larger the confer the less choice the wreckers will have No doubt the world has slowly in these matters but a beginning has been made, and there grounds for believing that it will lead eventually to very much greater haings than the organizers of the pres ent conference reasonably have hoped for.
