Irish Politics Stirring;
Kings Oath an Issue

Activities Of at least six political
parties are concerned with the general
election in the Irish Free State, which
must be held not later than the Sum-
mer of 1927. The Peoples party
which numbers half a dozen members
of the Dali, has put on its program
the abolition Of the oath of allegiance
to King George. Mr.. De Va1era's
party is concentrating on this same
issue. His candidates, instead Of 60
ing forward on policy of boycotting
the Irish Parliament, as hitherto, Will
declare themselves willing to take
their seats If the oath obstacle is re-
moved. The Government party Is
divided on the question of protection,
some remaining content with the ten
tative experiments instituted, while
others desire policy of wholesale
protection. The leader of the pro.
tectionists is j. J. Walsh, postmaster
general, who says he would not in
vest a penny in any Irish industry
not protected by a tariff. Both the
Farmer party and Labor hope to in
crease their representation in the
Dali, and Shere will be many candi-
dates going forward independently
in the interests Of the business
community.

When few weeks ago it was an
nounced, in a somewhat sensational
newspaper that the United States
contemplated so changing its immi-
grafton laws as to permit the free
entry of foreign women who would
go into domestic service the American
consulates received innumerable re-
quests for passport visas.
Just what the United States might
have expected from Germany, IL that
report had been more than rumor, Is
shown by the fact that since Holland

REBEL SAINTS. BY Mary Agnes
Best. New York: Harcourt, Brace
& Co.
DACIFISM-on the one hand palm
of glory. on the other a stigma Of
reproach--is an outstanding ism OF
the present. Thoughtlessly we assign
the rise Of this doctrine of peace to
the World War, forgetting that pac-
ifism goes much further back than
this event, forgetting the Quakers as
a conspicuous and efficient order
among other organizations whose his
toric purpose was that Of doing away
with war. Rebel Saints" reminds us
of our oversight. Beginning with the
rebellion inctted by George Fox in the
England Of Cromwell and the Stuarts,
this Geographic series sets out In the
name Of one Quaker leader or another
the achievements of this sect in the
ways Of peace both in England and
America. THE World as the Quakers
Found It" opens this study. 1t closes
with THE World as the Quakers
Changed It." Between these two
points are ranked the notable men and
women whose courage. physical and
moral, none could doubt, whose high
purpose none could gainsay. whose
substantial achievements none can TO-
day dispute. A highly valuable thread
Of history, since 1t demonstrates again
the fact that growth is a continuous
thing. not miracle. AS to the writer
of this book you will go a long way
before finding her superior III the way
of handling the material in hand.

This was revealed by Commits
sioner Proctor T.. Dougherty today
The Commissioners already have
made a move in this direction, he
said, by ordering survey to de-
terrnine exactly the assessed value
of the land to be purchased by the
Government.
This information will be present

effort TO get them to raise the lump
sum contribution of the Federal
Government to District expenses.
The purchase OF $25 100000 worth
Of property by the Federal Govern
n1ent would cut the District TAX
collections about $780, which
would make it necessary to increase
the tax rate on the remaining
property from $3.50 to $1.35 1t has
been estimated.
Commissioner Dougherty also be-
lieves that the lump sum should be
Increased for another reason. When
the amount was set at $4,000, 900
