arms into Northern Ireland. An at
tack upon . party Of cyclists going
into Londonderry ON st. Patrick's day
is cited as possible pretext for active
aggression.
This adds q grave element to the
situation In Ireland. which appears to
be approaching q crisis. While no d.
rect response has been made by de
Valera to Chancellor Chamberlain's
| unoff1cial warning against steps TO-
ward the reputation of the treaty un-
der which the Free State was created,
the President has reiterated his view
that the Irish are not bound under
the treaty to swear allegiance and also
that the annuities for land payments
are the property Of Ireland. He dis
claims for his people any responsibility
II disorders arise from the proclaimed
intention to discard these features Of
the treaty.
The Ulsterites evidently fear that
denunciation of the treaty provisions
regarding the oath and the annuities
and the discarding of the public safety
act mean that 1t Is the intention Of the
de Valera Republicans, who now con-
, troll the Dali Eireann. to denounce like
wise the separation of the four North
ern counties which constitute the State
Of Ulster. The government at Belfast
has acted promptly in the matter Of the
ambuscading of the cyclists, offering q
reward for the Identification and ar
rest of the assailants.
The treaty under which the separa-
ton of Ireland from British direct con-
troll was effected provided for the es-
tablishment of distinct state in the
North. 1t gave to ireland a political
status equivalent to that Of the Do
minion of Canada, with the proviso
that Ulster might elect to organize It's
own state. 1t did so elect, and after
some dificulty over the matter the
boundary between the two sections was
defined by a commission, the findings
of which were finally accepted, and the
two organizations were set up and have
been maintained as distinct dominion
units.
If the provisions of the treaty re-
garding the oath and the annuities can
be discarded by the Free State, the en-
tire treaty can be set aside. Great Brit
ain cannot possibly tolerate such re-
pudiation unless it is content to permit
civil war to develop in Ireland, with the
four Northern counties composing Ulster
beset by the twenty-seven Southern
counties constituting the Free State.
In such a conflict, which would be en-
bittered by the religious question. Ulster
would have little chance of successful
defense without assistance from across
the Irish Sea- 1t is that prospect, which
friends of Ireland hope is not war
ranted, that causes the agitation at
Belfast. If de Valera persists in the
advancement of his four-point program
and is supported by the Dali Eireann,
tragic scenes may again be enacted in
the island.

Unfair Discrimination.

The Federal Bar Association, an or
ganiSation composed Of lawyers in the
Government service, raises an important
point in connection with the Federal
pay-cutting proposal. Why. ask the
lawyers, should the Federal employe
whose income and property are taxed
as the income and property OF other
citizens are taxed, be called upon to
make an additional payment from his
salary Of ten per cent, more or less, to
help balance the budget? Why should
the Federal employe, for the mere rea-
son that he is a Federal employe, be
thus Disseminated against?
There Is, OF course, only one answer.
That answer is that the Federal Gov
ernment, If 1t favors Federal pay cut
ting, favors like cut In everybody's
wages. For it should be generally con-
ceded that Federal pay differs in no re-
spect from pay in private employment
1t Is just compensation for services rem
dered. The Federal Government has
no right as a matter of equity to single
out its servants for the extraordinary
sacrifice that lies in wage reduction, un-
less it favors wage reduction generally
as q national policy and believes that
the example thus set should be generally
followed in private employment. That
Is the only possible Interpretation of a
Federal pay-slashing program, and it
can be granted at the outset that the
Federal Governments example would
be widely. and in some quarters en-
Enthusiastically, followed The net result
in budget balancing would be relatively
small.
Reducing the Federal pay roll by
wise and carefully planned depart
mental reorganization is O horse OF
another color. II there Is waste and
inefnciency and duplication-and there
are-they should be eliminated, and
it is obvious that in the process OF
reorganization an unestimated number
Of employees would lose their jobs. Blu,
the number thus cut on would bt
small as compared with the number
to be penalized under q blind program
Of salary slashing.
To save governmental administration
costs by a wisely devised program oi

organization possesses all the merit.
that are lacking in the scheme appar-

wastefully employing ten men when

cedure is to allow the two unnecessary
Jobs to lapse, but to leave untouched the

Had one good horse, but wanted two
At last he realized his dream
knd owned a fine, quick stepping team
Which when he drove 1t out one day
Against his wishes ran away.
And he remarked, mo more Ill strive
To own more hoss than I can drive"
When I am tempted by desire
To gather all that l admire,
And win in battle or by stealth
Power and its companion, wealth,

Has not been kind to hesitate
To grant each wish, lest contrive
To own more hoss than can drive.

Paris Fau0rs JduntySpring
 Wool Outfits
Smart April Wardrobes Be- ing Fashioned Around
 New Design
By DIANA MERWIN

| Associated Press Fashion Edit0rl
 PARIS, March 23.-A little wool costume built of a frock, jacket and scarf occupies a prominent place in the spring style picture.
 Smart April wardrobes are being fashioned around the nucleus of this new design-trim, jaunty and young as a schoolgirl.
 Sleeves of the little wool frocks often are short--a mere cap over the shoulder; their waistlines are two inches above the normal belt, their skirts trim and plain with hemlines about 12 inches from the ground.
 Their belts of bright hued yarns, plaited feathers or wool faced with some gay color generally are their sole ornament.
 The little wraps which make them ready for the street may be brief fitted jackets ending at the hip bones, waistlength boleros or short capes attached to the belt in the back.
 Matching combinations are the rule, although striped jackets ofter- are worn with plain colored frocks and plain jackets with plaid or checked frocks.
 Scarfs Are Chic
 The scarfs of the costumes make them chic. A grey wool jersey frock. worn with a matching waistlength jacket has a scarf of zebra striped jersey in crimson, grey and black. "A biege wool dress with a short bolero wrap is finished with a biege, brown and green scraf of pieced silk strips, and dark blue costume has a grey crocheted silk scarf tied like mans fore-in-hand
 Most of the scarfs are worn wrapped closely about the throat or tied in brisk bow on one side. Biege, gray, navy and sapphire blue are the fayorite colors for these little costumes, although leas- green, wood brown, tomato red and coral red are seen in quantities.

 Foley Herself

One of Southern California's $ most exclusive estates is shown in RKO Radio Pictures com y- drama, Fanny Foley Herself, , which will be shown for the last times tonight, at the Capitol thea tre.
 A massive white Colonial man. sion, skirted by beautiful grounds and colorful gardens, it is located in South Pasadena, just north of Los Angeles, and is the property of Mrs. E. D. Roberts, wealthy Cana dian widow.
 Through her courtesy the com pany, including Edna May Oliver, who has the stellar role, Hcoart Bosworth, Florence Roberts, Rochelle Hudson, Helen Chandler. John Darrow and Robert Emmett O'Connor, spent three days on the property where many of the most beautiful Technicolor scenes in the production were made.
 Fine Acting Extolled
 Eric Paulson, manager of the Capitol, is quite enthusiastic over the fine acting in Fanny Foley Herself"
 Miss Oliver portrays Fanny, high -salaried vaudeville head liner" he explained. "A great hearted woman, she is a typical old-time vaudevillian, exceedingly chesty about her success and her popularity, a flambouyant dresser, and one who believes ones social status is reckoned by the pounds of jewels worn.
 "She has two lovely daughters. Nothing has been too good for them. They have been educated at exclusive boarding schools, have enjoyed trips to Europe. Poor Fanny! It never occurred to her that her ideas as to what consti- tuted a gentlewoman and those of her daughters might differ.
 Invited To Performance
 They return from Europe and she invites them to see her perform, supremely happy in the faith that they will think her as great as her beloved public think her.
 'In the midst of her song and dance sensation, where she portrays an inebriated creature in gaudy garments and bounds ludicrously about the stage, she catches a glimpse of her girls. They are mor- tified, fearful, frightened. Shame for their mother oyercomes them and they flee from the house. Meanwhile the audience roars, as Fanny, broken-fearted answers cur- tain call after curtain call.
 Miss Divers histrionic effort in this picture cannot be excelled."
