WASHINGTON
Senators-elect

WASHINGTON - Senators-eleet Smith and Ware gained unexpected assistance in their fight to take the Senate oath when senators of the Democratic party decided at con ference that they do not wish to or ganize the senate as they might be able to do if Smith and Ware were rejected. Fear of being held respon- siible for Senate's mistakes was given as their principle reason for not taking control. Insurgent Re publicans are willing to vote with the party on the issue if the regu- lars will let them submit a program which will be the presidential plat form of Senator Norris.

POLITICS IN ERIN
IN CHAOTIC STATE
Recent Election Gave Neither
Faction Complete Control
of Legislative Body.
BY A. G.. GARDINER.

LONDON. June 1s.--The Irish cleo
ton has resulted in an astonishing
situation. President Cosgrave has a
bare majority over Eamonn de Valera,
and neither has a majority over the
rest of the parties of which the La
Dor party is the most considerable.
In view of the refusal of the De
Valera Republicans to take the oath
of allegiance to the King. President
Cosgrave could secure a majority in
the Dali by an alliance with Labor
or even with the Farmers party, but
his present decision Is to decline to at
tempt to form government.
Hold Alliance Impracticable.
Cosgrave presumably regards an
alliance with Labor as impractical, for,
although Labor Is nominally pro-treaty,
it's real sympathies lean VIGOROUSLY
toward republicanism. But no alter
native government is possible. The op-
position is a tumble Of incoherent
fragments, a mere gathering Of XII.
kenny cats.
Probably, therefore, in spite of his
declaration, Cosgrave will be compel
led to resume the presidency. In the
absence Of the De Valera group no
other candidate can be nominated
with any conceivable chance OF form.
ing a government. Assuming that
Cosgrave finally accepts, his position
will be unenviably precarious, with
patched.up majority inside the House
and a third OF the members creating
trouble outside.
The result Of the election leaves the
future of Ireland very troubled and
the existence of the Dali itself as a
governing institution seems doubtful.
Crisis Is Anticipated.
The enormous concessions, which
the British Parliament has made to
the Free State, including cancellation
of the whole Irish share Of the war
debt. far from diminishing Republican
sentiment, have left it definitely
stronger and events point to a new
and incalculable crisis.
One thing alone is certain: England
will never again enter that hornets
nest. The sense Of relief felt at having
got rid Of the eternal Irish question
is universal. and even among the
Tories the idea Of reversing the Irish
policy is stone dead. Indeed there is
growing sentiment in favor of &C.
ceptance Of Republican status for
Ireland. Already the Free State is in
dependent of England in everything
but name, and the only remaining po-
iitical concern in the Free State is
related TO the defense Of British shores
which could be secured by adoption OF
something in the nature Of the Mon.
roe Doctrine in regard TO ireland.
