BY HERBERT F. HOUSTON.

Member of the American Committee Of the
International Chamber of Commerce.
Synge's Irish Play Boy could not
have boasted anything more remarka-
BILE than is actually taking place in
Ireland in the first days of April. For
the first time in history there are
coming together representatives Of
the Protestant North and the Catholic
South to discuss. not their differences,
but their common interests. BY a fine
Celtic touch this meeting convened
on April /, but il is clear that there
is nothing related TO All Fools day
in an event of such siGnifica nee and
high promise.
1t may we'll be that this opening day
of April may become the day that
marked the dawn OF future united
ireland. In any event. it witnessed
movement OF peace and not of war
And it has come with such swiftness
that the rest of the world is rubbing
its eyes in wonder.
Follows Long Quarrel.
The rough way that has led to this
meeting might well be called the
rocky road to Dublin" When the
Irish Free State was established. it
will be recalled, the boundary line
separating it from Ulster was left for
later determination. And that line
has been a Mason and Dixon" line
for Ireland ever since. Finally the
Ramsay Macdonald government ap-
pointed commission to determine
what the boundary line should be.
After much work and many meetings
Prof. John Mcneil, the Free State
member. resigned from the commits
sion. Ulster was no better pleased
than the Free State with the plan to
have the boundary settled. A deadlock
resulted. The whole question seemed
entangIed in a veritable Irish bog:
But all the time that this was hap
pening the people of the North and
the South of Ireland had to live to-
gether and, to do that, they had to
trade with each other. Steadily these
growing commercial ties have been
building up a community of interest.
At length Dublin and Cork and Bel
fast and Londonderry have all seen
that they have a common stake in
the prosperity Of every part Of Ire
land. From the cities this conviction
has spread through the country; prob
ably in the happy-go-lucky way that
Lady Gregory has described in
spreading Of the News" At last
the Blarney South smiles at the
Scotch North and both take a ride in
the same jaunting car.
Line May Be Ignored.
Surely the rest of the world, that
has always had a warm place in it's
heart for Ireland, will hope that the
journey will be a: long and pleasant
one and that it may never find the

Beauties of City Described.

account Of a visit to Washington from
a writer who signs herself m. B.:
We arrived here three days ago and
have settled down in this comfortable
hotel right in the heart or the city
And what a city! Already l love 1t
and am quite at home. In some subtle
elusive way it reminds one OF London
one often feels that just around the
corner it will be London. but gets nc
further. 4 delightful atmosphere OF
leisure and calm prevails, and this
after New York and Chicago, is most
restful. We hear that Washington is
stigmatized as sleepy and lazy by the
people Of the more enterpriSing cities
The beauty and wonder of this place
can only be felt and never properly
described by my poor pen, but must

moonlight and it seemed to US all like
wonderful dream city realized
You've heard of the awe that overpow
ers those who first see the Tai Mahal
by moonlight. That Is exactly how
Washington affected me. 1t was real
and ethereal, actual and symbolic, his
toric and prophetic, mancreated but
God-inspired. 1t is an object lesson
to the world of what a modern city
NAV be and should be. The millennium
will consist of a world Of Washing
tons.
Serene and lofty above the city rises
the monument to George Of the unim
peachable veracity. He is as truly the
patron saint Of the Americans as ST
George is Of England. They cannot
escape fate, and it would have been
impossible for their national hero to
have been a Samuel or Joseph. The
monument is a. single obelisk Of white
marble five hundred and fifty feet In
height and at night times is illumined
by the rays of a powerful searchlight
Seen thus it is most mpressive-there
is no attempt at ornament, nothing to
detract from its great dignity and sim
plicity 1t seems to say, my single
duty is TO soar, and to teach men the
same lesson"

the Austrian view that union with
Germany would give a great rein
forcement to the elements and parties
in Germany which represent peace and
advocate understanding. On the other
hand, it is hard to see how such
union could fail in the end to establish
a, complete German supremacy in all
of the center of Europe and give the
Germans a mighty influence in all the
Danuban empire. That France. Italy

is comprehensive, easily understood,

would seem to me to be matter of
regret If the council of the league

difficulties in the way of such direct
communication.
This Government does not consider
that any new agreement is necessary

Actually, then, the German enthu-

must not be misled by the bellicoSe

that Italian aggression upon other ma

For the first quarter of 1926 it was
1.116 900 900 lire, as against l.407,
600 900 lire for the corresponding

and the depreciation of the French
