News. Copyright, 1879.
DUBLIN, February 9.-The sentence
ing of Eamonn de Valera in Belfast to
months imprisonment is unanimously
condemned today in Dublin by every
party. The newspapers condemn the
sentence. and Senator johnson, labor
leader, declared that if the Dali and
the Senate were in session, q vote of
resentment against the Northern gov
ernment's action would be unanimous.
De Valera will not contest the SEN
tence, which was for no offense except
crossing the Northern border. Five
years ago the Northern government is
sued an order excluding De Valera from
Northern territory as q danger to the
state. Conditions now are totally DIFF
ferent.
De Valera's visit to Belfast was not a
political one. He went to speak at O
bazaar in aid of the Irish language.
The Belfast governments action is at
tributed to motives of local politics. A
parliamentary election is imminent. The
government has been severely criticized
BY many Of its own friends. especially
In relation to the drink questions. The
Imprisonment Of De Valera, 1t is be-
lieved, will renew all the old animosities
and bring politics back to It's old lines
thus preventing breakup Of the gov
eminent party.
De Valera's imprisonment may delay
the visit to America which he had con-
templated, but 1t viii help his popular
ity In the Irish Free State.

The giant airplane carriers Lexington
and Saratoga are proving so costly To

subcommittee on naval finances may
recommend their withdrawal from ac-
tive service, Chairman French, Re-
publican, Idaho. said yesterday shortly
before the $347. 0Oo.0 annual naval
supply bill was approved and sent to

Representative French said his COM
nlittee was considering ACCESSIBILITY OF
retiring the 33,000-ton vessels. the
newest additions to the feet. and their
replacement by carriers less expensive
to operate.
Except for these ships, the Navy has
but one carrier-the Langley, an ole
converted collier. In addition an air.
craft carrier of 1890 tons would be
provided under the naval construction
program approved this week by Con.
gress and sent to the President for con.
sideration.
French did not amplify his remarks
which were made during the discussion
of an amendment to provide $700, 1000 to
enlarge dry dock facilities at the navy
yard, Puget Sound, Wash, to accommo.
date the Lexington and Saratoga. thu

NEW YORK, February 9.-Robert J.
Leonard, educator and writer and a di-
rector of the School Of Education Of the
Teachers College at Columbia, fell or
jumped to his death this morning from
a window Of his sixth-foor apartment
on Morningside Drive.
He had recently had q severe attack
of influenza. Apparently he returned
to his classes too soon, Dean William, 2.
Russell of Teachers College said, Tor
yesterday he suffered q relapse and be-
came delirious.
Dean Russell and DR.. Jesse F..
| williams, a member of the Columbia
| faculty and close friend of DR.. Leonard,
| who were with him after he became ILL,
believe he accidentally fell out Of the
4 window. Early this morning his nurse
left the room for moment. When
she returned he had disappeared.
DR.. Leonard was born in San Jose,
Calf, February 5, 1885. He was grad
uated from the State Normal School in
/ San Jose in 1904. Subsequently he re-
ceived the degrees of B. S., M. A. and
Phi. D. at Columbia. He married Eugene
Ann AndrusS of Seattle in 1918.
\ He was professor Of vocational edu-
cation at the University of Indiana
from 1914 to 1917. From 1918 to 1923
he was professor Of education at the
University Of California and was acting

Germany will perhaps offer to pay a
maximum Of billion marks annually
for 81 years, In which case she would
accept commercialization Of her repara-
lions bonds and abandon the transfer
guaranty. Her defense will be based
mainly on the Dawes principle that, as
already noted, the German standard Of
living must not subside below that OF
the creditor nations.
The United states holds the key
position, for no settlement seems posi-
BILE unless the United States opens the
American money markets to the sale
Of bonds and arranges for discount OF
the war debts by early cash payments.
The United States wants to see the
Rhineland evacuated and real peace
restored in Europe, where American
investments and trade are enormous.
The American experts will, seemingly,
favor an annuity of 000,000,000 marks
over a period of years corresponding
closely to the allies intentions regard
ing war debts to the United States.
Great Britain seems to occupy the
middle position between the United
States and France. Belgium seems TO
share the French viewpoint.
Necessary to Solution.
The commercialization Of reparations
is fundamental to the untangling OF
Europe's war skein. This implies the
absorption Of large share OF the Ger
! man bonds BY the American market.
Whether the American business men.
with bonds Of their own to float, wish
| to see the American market "clogged
by German paper" Is perhaps an open
| question. The European experts on
world money markets are convinced
that fiotation Of such an enormous issue
| as that contemplated is entirely posi-
BILE, since 1t essentially places no strain
on the American pocketbook. but rather
asks Americans to exchange Liberty
bonds paying less than 4 per cent
against German bonds paying 8.
| This procedure, II adopted BY France
and England, would provide them con-
siderable funds, not to mention rich
| neutrals like Holland. Switzerland, and
Germany herself.
Bankers further note that such a
| dollar bond would become an inter-
| national means Of exchange to alleviate
the pressure on. ordinary currencies.

time in less than three weeks he has
been in Florida, prepared to set out to-
day from his pre-inaugural home on
Belle Isle on trip that has two
fold purpose-to attend the birthday
anniversary celebration OF Thomas A.
Edison at Fort Myers Monday and to
try his luck at tarpon fishing on the
Florida west coast.
Accompanied by Mrs. Hoover and Mr.
and Mrs. Edgar Ricard Of New York,
the next Chief Executive viii motor to
q point near Long Key for the voyage
around the end Of the State to Fort
Myers. He will be welcomed to the
houseboat Saunterer by its owner, Jere-
niah Milbank, of New York, Eastern
treasurer Of the Republican national
committee.
VIII Greet Other Friends.
Arriving OF the west-coast city prob
ably Sunday, Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover will
60 ashore about noon Monday for the
luncheon at the Edison estate, where
the President-elect also will greet two
other old friends, Henry Ford and Har-
vey S. Firestone. After the luncheon
there will be q short parade through the
streets of Fort Myers. after which Mr..
and Mrs. Hoover will return to the
Saunterer and sail southwark to Ponce
de Leon Bay.
There the President-elect plans tc
put in two days Of fishing in the hope
Of adding at least one tarpon to his
catch. It is little early for the heavy
game fish, but word has been received
at headquarters on Belle Isle that tar
pom are beginning to run around the
Shark River.
Under his present plans, Mr.. Hoover
will leave the Saunterer Thursday
morning to motor across State to Belle
evening to clean up work which viii
have accumulated In his absence. Fri.
day he will begin two-day motor TRIP
through the Okeechobee flood district.
During the run of the Saunterer from
Long Key to Fort Myers, the next Chief
Executive will be out of touch with the
world. More than "a hours will be re.
quired for the voyage through the keys
thence across FloriG@. -. md up the
coast.
The place he has selected fc- tarpor
fishing also Is very inaccessible, but he
probably will be able to keep In touch
with his temporary offices at Fort Myers
either by telephone or by means Of q
Commerce Department craft.
Only a few engagements had beer
made for the President-elect before his
departure today Immediately after
lunch. In midforenoon he and Mrs
Hoover were to review parade Of
Girl and Boy Scout troops Of Miami

those here feel that closer intimate
touch Of personal contact affords q
better means Of study Of the problem.
AS an initial step in tackling the
massive problem the appointment Of
two subcommittee Is expected. One
Of these will study Germany's capacity
to pay. The other will seek Q means
Of eventually conmercializing the Ger
man payments.
A number Of preliminary matters face
the experts before they can get really
into their problem.
After selection of officers the experts
must decide in what form the assistant
delegates and alternateS are to be asso-
ciated In the committee work. A large
secretarial stan must be appointed also
to insure contact between the various
delegations. It Is expected that this
win be headed by Armitage Smith, gen.
eral secretary Of the Preparations Com
mission.
Depend on Morgan.
There seems general inclination
among the visiting delegations to defer
to the American unoficial delegates.
Mr., Morgan's constant remaining In
the background since he reached here
yesterday morning has not served to
detract attention from him. mfr. Nor
gan can settle it," one financier OF note
remarked.
And that feeling does not diminish
