IRISH ENVOY PROBLEM
Question Hinges Largely Upon Whether Canada is to Have Diplo- mat at Washington.

By 'h, issociatcd Press.
 London, Feb. 23.-Diplomatic rep resentation of tho Irish Free State in Washington appears 10 be closely linked up with the question whether Canada is to have an envoy of ;ts own at the American capital. Ii is felt in governmental quarters here that Canada's diplomatic status must he settled before sanction can be giy- cn hy the British government to the appointment of an Irish envoy or high commissioner 10 the United States
 Informal approaches have been made to the British foreign office by the Free State officials in London to determine whether Great Britain has any objection to an Irish representa- tive to America, hut the Free State has not sounded the American gov ernment directly.
 Premier Macdonald is not averse to the scheme. but feels that Canada, on account of its much greater impor- tancc. ought to have priority over the F'rec State in the matter of direct representation at the American capi- tai. When that point is settled off cials here believe there will be no ob- stacle to the establishment of n Free State diplomatic relationship with the American state department.

GIVE UP HOPES OF
 FLIGHT OVER POLE
Naval Officers See Little Chance
 for Shenandoah Trip

Washington, Feb. 23.--With all hope abandoned that congress will approve the nayy's air expedition into the north polar regions in time for the project to be launched this sum mer, Read Admiral Moffett. chief of the navy bureau or aeronautics. began today to map out with Lieutenant Commander Zachary Lansdowne, com mander of the dirigible Shenandoah plans for the future use of the big air craft.
 In the conference between the two air service officers, questions concern- ing the repair of the Shenandoah h, made necessary by the gale which tore the ship from its mooring mast at Iakehurst, N. J., recently, and mat ters of detail relative to its personnel and general condition of the ship it. self were discussed.
 Commander Lansdowne expressed confidence that the Shenandoah could be put in condition in time for the trip to the pole this summer but was informed that information given the navy department by congressional leaders indicated that there was no chance congress would give the nee essary approval that soon. It would be necessary in order for the eXpedi- ton to start this simmer for con gross to act within two weeks and thus permit the preparatory work for the flight, stopped by President Cool idge pending approval by congress to be resumed.
 Officers at the navy department also were busy explaining today that Lieutenant Commander Bartlett, at tached 10 the polar board in an ad- yisory capacity, had been in error last night when he announced in an ad- dress broadcast by radio that the Shenandoah would leave Lakehurst on June for the polar flight. Command CT Bartlett prepared his speech some time ago and failed to correct it in the light of later developments.
