By the Associated Press.

DUBLIN. March 2.-The visit Of
Francis j. Lowe, secretary of the
American Organization of Friends of
the Irish Free State, who has arrived
in Dublin on a mission of peace and
trade, and who predicts peace by ST.
Patrick's day, is commented upon un-
favorably by the Freeman's Journal
today.
Mr. loves proposals include the
appointment of Eamonn De Valera as
its commission, to be built. on Tara
Hill: the stopping of executions and
the freedom of prisoners on probation.
The business corporations Mr.. Lowe
represents are prepared to give the
Free State credit, but not loan of
money, he says.
The Freeman's Journal says: I'VE
are willing to make allowances for
the enthusiasts who mean well to
Ireland. but the enthusiasm of F. U.
Lowe is a little too much for US. The
short cuts whereby he proposed to
achieve the regeneration of Ireland
leaves US. we confess. dazed and
breathless
dc Valera running a national mu-
scum on the hill OF Tara, members of
into college classes and the desert
blossoming like the rose at the be-
hest of American millionaires are all
eminently desirable things. Accord
ing to Mr.. Lowe, we can get them as
soon as we like, after making peace.
We fear that his proposals on this
head will not commend themselves to
our die-hards. and, while II may be
pleasant to contemplate an Ireland in
which we should pay no taxes on tea
or tobacco. because American Sypdi-
Gates are pining, in Mr.. loves words,
to shoe, feed and smoke tho people
OF Ireland we have our doubts If
these philAnthropistS are really going
to change ireland in the near future" J"
