St Hubert Airport, Montreal, Que, August 1 P-Damaged but undaunted, the British dirigible R. 100 was here today after a flight from Darlington, England, After lodging about for hours through storms that ripped the fabric of one fin. necessitating laying to in the skies for jury repairs, the airship finally appeared, a sliding constella- tion against a muddy sky. at 1:30 E s. T. this morning, 75 hours and 45 minutes after leaving Carding- ton. The departure from Darlington was at 9:45 p. m. l.. S. T. Monday.
 But though the destination was reached there was no immediate at tempt to effect a mooring, for such an operation at best is perilous at night, and the mast here is new, un- tried and the field unknown to the navigators of the R-1OO. So as the hours passed the mighty ship, mere lya splotch of light except when the field searchlight picked out it's gi- gantic outline and revealed it for what it IS, the largest ship that ever sailed the skies, circled about, visit ing Montreal. Is miles away and awaiting the sun.
 First of Trip Uneventful For the first two days of it's jour ney the trip was uneventful. But yesterday things began to happen. The R-100 crossed the ocean and ma jestically down Belle Isle Strait
 across the Gulf Of St. Lawrence and
 up the St. Lawrence river. It ap- preached Quebec and then some thing went wrong. Storm winds were rising and occasional showers slash ed across the darkening sky. The | fabric on one fin, just as happened
 on the first ocean voyage of the Ger
 man Graf Zeppelin. gave way. Not far from Quebec the ship was seen to falter to halt and to start l drifting backwards along its course. , For two hours members of the crew
 worked on temporary repairs. With 1 the damaged fin officers handled the ship gingerly, easing it gently l along it's way, and already valuable time had been lost. There was no | longer any chance of effecting an | afternoon landing as had been | planned.
 Weather Unfayorable l And for the last few miles, the l last fifty in fact. the weather was far from favorable. Rain drove
 across the darkness, lightning flared | along the sky, and the ship felt its
 way through bunny air that must | have shaken it sorely in it's repaired condition.
 By the time it finally arrived over
 the field the weather had cleared
 and floodlights gave semblance Of i daylight, but the officers in charge
 were taking no unnecessary chances with England's latest aerial pride | and so the actual mooring operation
 was postponed until the first faint
 streak of day
 Notwithstanding delay at the finish
 the crossing Of the Atlantic was the
 fastest ever made by an airship.

House. The Progressive Republicans,
especially Senator Borah, would like to
bring the debenture plan up in the
coming session. They think that, as in
the case OF Muscle Shoals, members who
formerly opposed the debenture plan
nay have been led to see a new light
by the elections.
The debenture plan, however, is not
likely to come up. The Progressive Re
publicans, as an organized group. are
confined to the Senate. There is no
similcr organized group in the House,
and the debenture plan, being a matter
which affects revenues, In q sense q
tariff matter, belongs in that class OF
legislation which only the House can
originate.
This by no means ends the contro-
verstal matters that hay be introduced
into the coming session. More than
enough have been mentioned, however,
to consume the sessions time. II the
Muscle Shoals bill should be pressed
forward, II the lame duck" amendment
to the Constitution should be pressed.
and especially If there should be a
controversy about reapportionment, so
much time would be consumed as clearly
to imperil the appropriation bills and
to bring forward the probability OF Q
special session.

President of the irish Free State.
TT is very difficult within the limits
of a short article to deal in any
thing like an exhaustive manner
i with the various phases of the
development of the Irish Free
State since its establishment in 1922,
and this review must therefore OF
necessity be superficial. In view Of the
prominence which world economic
problems are receiving at the moment
I should perhaps begin by a reference
to the economic policy of the Irish
Free State and then pass briefly on to
other matters.
The treaty of 1921 effected revolu
tionary change in the position of the
Irish Free State not only from the
point of view of its international status
but also from an economic standpoint.
Prior to 1921 Great Britain and Ire
land constituted a fiscal entity. There
were no customs barriers between the
two islands; the internal distribution
of imported goods and of home prod
uctS was subject to no direction other
than the normal laws of supply and de-
mand. Revenue went into common
pool out of which was borne the cost
of state services on scale theoretically
uniform throughout.
Area Naturally Agricultural.
Various causes combined to make the
area that now is the Irish Free State
preponderatingly agricultural. The dis
tribution Of natural resources. the
presence of mineral wealth, geograph-
ical considerations and, in the case Of
certain industries, climatic conditions
operated to fix in Great Britain the
large centers of manufacture and COM
merce Ireland is less favorably sup
piled with mineral resources; her soil
and climate are particularly suitable for
agricultural production. Her industrial
development in the past had been dis

Work in Earthquake
Hindered by Custom

A tradition of centuries standing Is
handicapping italian engineers in their
work of reconstructing the buildings
destroyed by the recent earthquake in
the region east of Naples. Dozens Of
new homes have already been con-
structed to replace the loosely built old
dwellings destroyed by the quake re-
Gently. They are pleasant structures
with several rooms, far more comfort
able in every way than the buildings
which they replace, and one would nat
urally expect the peasants to acclaim
the work and to struggle for the hand
some new homes. On the contrary,
many peasants have utterly refused to
live in them, one Of the objections be-
ing that farm animals, which generally
live in the same buildings as their own
ers In the hilltop communities, are not
furnished accommodations in the new
structures. In many other ways they
are too "new-fangled" for the MEDIEVAL
minded people who inhabit the region.
Eventually, however, simply because
they have no other habitations, the peo-
pie are expected to retreat from their
stubborn position and to accept the
magnanimity Of the government with
thanks.

Years War began, when indignant
Protestant mobiles of Bohemia threw
two tyrannical Catholic and imperial
councillors from windows of the castle.
When asked for his views on the
present prospects of an international
disarmament agreement being reached,
now that the Leagues preparatory dis
armament commission Is meeting at
Geneva, DR.. BeneS said:
Wants Conference Called.
"The present international situation
in Europe Is not quite encouraging for
advocates of disarmament, it must be
confessed. We have always contended
that moral disarmament is required,
and electoral successes such as those
of the Hitler movement in Germany
and the growth elsewhere of ultra-na-
tionalist spirit have not helped to pro-
duce that atmosphere of confidence
which Is so essential for attainment Of
a disarmament pact.
Nevertheless, I personally believe
that q definite disarmament conference
ought to be called either in November,
1881, or in March, 1882.
For 10 years the League Of Nations
has been graphing with the disarma-
ment problem. Communists or other
foes of the League and some ultra
pacifiSts have jibed at the Geneva
comedy and at the hypocrisy Of Euro
pean diplomats.

signature of those instruments, as other
provisions of them have been, DR.. Benes
explained that national prestige was
here at stake, and insisted that any at
tempt to tamper with the existing
boundaries would merely lead to con-
fusion and conflict.
Pressed for his solution Of existing
difficulties in Europe, DR.. Benes an
European union" He went on to say:
Union Seen in Fifty Years.
"It will not come tomorrow or the
next day, but within so years 1t will be
here. You have in your American
Union 48 States, and you do not have
any disputes or agitation about from
tiers or boundaries, do you?

moratorium on reparations obliga-
tions. Cancellation or reduction Of the
interallied debt by the United States
would be q good thing for world trade
in general, DR.. Benes considered, but
he recognized that, however desirable
this might be economically, it was at
present, for political reasons, fruitIess
to look to Washington for such debt
remiSsions.
DR.. Benes concluded his survey Of
the European situation by giving to the
correspondent an assurance that how
ever strong a foothoid Chauvinism and
ultra -nationalism might gain elsewhere

down on this issue. A deflnitive dis
armament conference should be con-
voked, even If 1t should lead to no
agreement. Failure itself would be pref
erable to further delay and procrastina-
ton. For failure would at least clear
the air by, first, exposing to the world
the nation or group of nations RESPONSE
BILE for lack of success in the efforts at
disarmament or by showing also all
those who talk about disarmament and
have other intentions; and secondly, by
showing us where we stand and ena-
bling us to take the necessary counter
measures.
Expects Success at Last.
"But I do not believe that this con-
ference will fail. On the contrary, the
chances are that 1t will lead to an
agreement in part, such as Sprang from
the London Naval Conference. This
part agreement will most likely take
the form of q pledge by the nations
concerned to limit their military estab-
lishmentS to existing standards. Such
an international pact, not to increase
armies and war equipment, viii register
an epoch-making step forward the ul-
innate goal of disarmament For 1t is
only by slow stages that the world will
advance to this objective. The next
stage on the road probably will be Q
general and proportionate reduction by
all nations Of their armed forces.

, responsibility for state service and
finances. It's Importance was empha-
| sized when, as result of postwar con-
| dition, the prices of agricultural prod
| uce slumped to an alarming extent in
comparison with the fall in the prices
Of other commodities. The tariff policy
| Of the Irish Free State was designed
with the object of establishing an eco
nomic equilibrium.
Two Things Determine Tariff.
The selection of the articles to be
protected by tariffs was dictated by two
main considerations-first, the likeli-
hood that home production of any par
ticular article could expand sufficiently
in reasonable time to supply the home
market and, second, the necessity of in
terfering as little as possible, by reason
Of enhanced prices, with the cost of
living. Every application for tariff Is
now examined in detail by an inde-
the government on the merits of the
case. The principal tariffs in force are
on tobacco, boots and shoes, candles;
soap, confectionery, apparel, hosiery,
blankets and furniture.

tected goods imported during each of
the five years from 1924 to 1928 shows

1924 to less than $500, 900 in 1928. and
the increase in employment afforded by
the expansion of protected industries is
estimated at $4,000 persons on a basis
Of full-time employment.
Other steps taken for the encourage
ment of industrial development include
the provision of credits by way of guar
antee on loans for capital expenditure
on plant and machinery, assistance by
way of subsidy to a beet sugar factory
and the supply of electrical power by
means of the Shannon hydro-electric
scheme. The partial development stage
Of this scheme was completed last year

HRAGUE.-Despit the storm
- clouds now lining the European
horizon, DR.. Eduard Benes, for
i eign minister of CZechoslovakia,
predicted with optimism, in an
interview he gave here to the corre-
spondent of The Washington Star and
New York Herald Tribune, that within
the next two years the nations would
agree at Geneva to limit their armed
forces on land and sea.
Although the agreement he foresees
would in all likelihood represent only a
success "in part" and would probably
be based on mutual pledge not to In
crease armaments, DR.. Benes declared
today that 1t would register an epoch
making step toward the goal of disarm-
ament," like the step taken In the
Washington Naval Treaty of 1921, and
would be followed by further and
gradual reductions in the worlds armies
and navies, with all the nations agree
ing to proportionate reductions in their
ornaments.
DR.. Benes predicted also, and with
similar confidence, the advent within
so years Of European union built on
foundations both economic and polit-
ical. union which would relegate the
agitation for treaty and frontier revi-
sion so violently disturbing in the Old
World today to that state which Grover
Cleveland once described as "innocuous
deSuetude."
Speaks With Authority.
The services which Dr. Benes has
rendered to the cause of disarmament
during many years at Geneva entitle
him to speak on the subject with an
authority such as few other European
statesmen can command. Foreign min
lister of his country ever since its re-
vival in 1918, this Czechoslovak states
man was the author of the ilI-fated
Geneva protocol which was adopted by
the historic 1924 Assembly of the
League of Nations with the object of
bringing about speedy disarmament
DR.. Benes had taken conspicuous part
also every year in the deliberations of
the ASsembly's Third Commission,
which deals with the vexed problem of
reducing the worlds military establish
mentS.
