DUBLIN TALKS WITH
WASHINGTON

An Irish minister plenipotentiary
at Washington Is development
not unexpected but now assured
The British government has au-
thoriZed the proper representations

States and Prof Timothy A. Smid-
dy will presumably soon be invest
ed with the dignities and duties OF
the office to which he was already
appointed in advance Of the I'm
perial approval.
Prof. Smiddy does not dwell up.
on the grievous pains that have ac-
companied the birth of the Irish
Free State. He Is neither orator
nor warrior, but an economist, OF
the staff of Cork university. He is
not super-patriot who hopes to
make the Free State Independent
of Great Britain and the world, but
an advocate of international trade
who distrusts high tariffs and re-
ioices to see vessels again busy
trafficking between Ireland and
world markets. He is now In the
United States to encourage that
very commerce and he Is appar-
entity more interested in making
Irish laces and linens popular than
he is in advertising her poetry.
Romance does not attach itself to
trade, but there Is no doubt that
the Free State Is we'll served by
those who, like her new minister,
are busily encouraging the resump-
ton OF orderly production in the
disorganized counties OF Ireland.
Agriculture and neighRorhood in
dustries hold out fair hopes for the
people OF the new dominion. 1t Is
to be hoped that the appointment
OF a minister sympathetic with this
idea and capable in its advocacy
will be followed by more prosper
GUS trade between his land and the
United States. And for whatever
dignity accrues to the. Irish Free
State by virtue Of the privilege of
dealing directly with a foreign
government sincere congratula-
tons are in order. 1t is another
step toward achieving the full
status of self-governing domin-
ion-Baltimore Sun.

THE JEALOUSIES REMAIN

1t thought possible by many observers of old world
POLITICS that the labor of England and the rad
cal government of France would least take decisive
action toward settlement of the vexatious problem OF
Preparations and German relations unencumbered by the
ealousies which have marked the diplomatic relations of
the entente But there appears to be real change in the
situation There is hope that the present allied
in London will lead to the adoption Of the Dawes
plan in practical fashion, but it appeared just likely that
this would have had Poncare not been deposed in
France.
NJ. Herrot, the French premier, sits shaky
throne At the outset he took rather firm stand toward
Germany differing not much from that of his predecessor
and when he appeared to under the domination of the
English premier the doughty Poncare ready to spring
his throat With the challenge of surrender of French
interests in subservency to Macdonald, Herrot in
bad position and Ramsay Macdonald the English Premier
hurried to France to help him out.
The French have taken adamant stand in the
nteraed conference They insist that the underwriting
CT German loan shall be made condition precedent to an
acknowledgment that the Dawes plan is in effect The
question of who shall decide when and Germany in de-
fa in carrying out the plan another problem before
France 1t had been assumed the League of Nations would
arber but the French have held little faith in this
body So the proposal of American arbter
brought forward This may be accomplished, though it
would be most unusual citizen for guarantee to be en-
rorced by American when this nation is not participant
in the Treaty of Versailles
England Indeed his government probably could be de-
Seated by frontal attack He of necessity must adopt
conciaory and moderate tone his dealings with the Ger
man problem from the character Of his seat OF power
- th same time he must satisfy the aggressive
Erc ,ch policy which differs not greatly under radical
mer when the question of Germany and reparations is
brought forward.

FRIENDLY RIVALS

Paris spontaneously acclaimed
the arrival of the American Olym-
pic team. The 2O0-odd chosen to
represent the United States are a
husky lot and are recognized as
dangerous, contenders. But France
struck the note of friendly rivalry.
The sportsmen turned out to mani
fest their utmost in cordially and
admiration.
Perhaps there was recollection
Of recent soccer match in which
a rowdy element offered an unrep-
resentative example of French
craftsmanship. Perhaps the Pari-
slams wanted to make amends for
that incident. They succeeded.
The United States had judged the
earlier incident Alright. but the re-
ception Wednesday will make "all
right" little Fighter.
Sportsmen here have not forgot
ten that a scattering few poor
sports once Missed Criqui, whom
the majority acclaimed as gentle
man and fighter.
The best feature of any example
of poor sportsmanship is that it
almost invariably calls out true
craftsmanship. Good sportsmen
are in the majority, here, in
France, and almost everywhere

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

One of the most interesting places
IN Happy Go Lucky Park, where
Nancy and Nick were helping Mister
Zip, the fairyman, was the fun
house.
You went in by crawling through
a barrel and when you got in the
middle of it, it began to spin around
like hoop, upsetting you and loll-
ing you over and over like a dice in
a dice box.
When finally you got inside there
was a sign which said 1.-THE Puzzle

when you went in. But it wasn't so
easy, as the fly found out when he
got caught in the spiderweb.

You were lucky if you got out in

mirrors that made you fat or made
