~ TIMOTHY SMlDDY
Minister Plenipoten entiary Of the Irish


Free State to the United States.
l am pleased ut this opportunity to
extend the greetings Of the Irish
Free State TO all citizens Of the Uni
ted States on this, the anniversary Of
Saint Patrick holiday observed by
Irishmen all over the world.
] was amazed when ] came to this
sister republic to open diplomatic
relations ut Washington to find so
many citizens Of Irish descent loyal
to the old Gaelic traditions and proud
of the new freedom won by the Irish
Free State after so many centuries
OF struggle.
Regardless Of religious differences,
regardless of positions in social
business or political life. found
everywhere the pride of an Irishman
in being an lrishman, whether he
ever had seen Ireland or not. The
English. Dutch. German, Italian peo-
pie all have racial pride, but they
are not as intense about it. ! have
found that even people who have only
the faintest trace of Irish blood are
greatly enthusiastic over that trace.
Hard to Explain
An explanation? That is very diff
ficult. The racial characteristic is Il
spontaneous loyalty. But the Irish
are family race" In Ireland the
mother is supreme. The mother
rules every household.
She is the financier. the guardian
angel. the comforter, the general
adviser. She is idolized and loved
This all engenders spirit that
brings about loyalty to the home
loyalty to the country and loyalty u
the race.
! am proud to report to all Irish
men and to all interested in Ireland
that the Irish Free State is function.

and property has been permanent!
assured. Americans. some of then
unsympathetic. are inclined to laugh
at Ireland's citizens as always fight

that in the days Of the American
revolution European countries alst
were sneering at George Washington
and his ill-fed band Of ragged revolu
tionists. That period of unrest thu
Irish Free State has just survived i,
similar to the same period of unrest
that followed the break OF the Amer
tcan cOIOnles with England.
Low Tax Rate
want to call your attention to The
present condition of the flourishini
Irish Free State. Income taxes have
been reduced and the tax rate, con

is lower than England's, Belgium S

Better merchandising and agricul

LETTER TO U. OFFICIALS
ReOpening of Settlements
Would BE Step Backward,
Claims Treasury Head

Washington. March l7.-LR-Sec.
retary Mellon feels America has
acted with fairness" toward its
world war debtors and that a re-
opening Of. the funding agreements
at present would do more ito inter-
rupt the steady progress achieved"
since the settlements were effected
than could be gained from any uiti.
mate minor adjustments in terms.
Defending the basis on which the
settlements were negotiated - the
debtors capacity to pay--the secre.
tarys opinion was set forth in a
letter to President Hibbcn Of Prince
ton University. Made public with
out comment at his treasury office
late yesterday, the communication
was in reply to II recent suggestion
from members Of the Princeton and
Columbia University faculties for IA
revision Of the settlements.
"Reopening all of the settlement
would, in my Judgment" the secre-
tary wrote, "be step backward and
not forward and one calculated to
produce discOrd and confusion rather
than to contribute to the economic
stability and orderly betterment Of
world prosperity
Administ ratiOn's Attitude
Mr.. Mellon served as chairman Of
the American debt funding commits
sion and his pronOuncement was re-
garded at the treasury as definitely
expressing the administrations attl-
tude toward any revision of the debt
funding policy.
Cohtending a nation is unlikely to
deserve or maintain respect of 9TH

cancellation of the debts would change
the dislike which the educators said
had sprung up in Europe against the
United States
Nov, the fact is," he declared
that all of our principal debtors are
already receiving from Germany
more than enough to pay their debts
to the United States"
The secretary said that If the debt
settlements were scaled downward
and German reparations correspond.
ingly reduced, the effect would be a
transfer OF the burden Of PREPARATION
payments from German taxpayers tC

After 81 Years at Throttle

He did some work in the shops and
then had a chance to exercise his expe-
rience on steamshovel jobs. Then he be-
came a fireman. Men moved up" faster
those days. In less than -four years he
achieved his ambition-he was a locOmo-
tive engineer, after doing construction
work and firing on three different divi-
sions. While on temporary assignment
at Helena he met his future wife, and
celebrated achievement Of his ambition
by marrying her.
Montana was a frontier then, for rail-
road men as for everyone else. Sheedy
helped eXcavate a caved-in tunnel, he
ran work trains on the construction Of
the Occur d'Alene and Bitter Root branch
lines, and made sleepless runs OF I'M
counted hours, now made impossible
through the cooperation Of the railroads
and federal regulations.
Since then the story is short. Sheedy
has fired on "-woodburners." He has seen
the day when an engineer was lucky to
man an engine which had air" on the
following four or five cars. He has held
everything from a freight train to the
proudest train or the continent. He has

cars to today when 70 to 100 long freight
