CONSOLIDATED AUG. 2. 1
ON IRISH
TREATY
Hot Discussion in Dail
Eireann, Eonar Law
Speaks in House of
Commons
Dublin. Dec. I".?The second
private session of the Dail Eireann
today having under consideration
the Ar.glo-Irish treaty, lasted un
til nearly 8 o'clock this evening
and adjourned without reaching a
decision. It will be resumed early
in private session tomorrow to con
tinue its deliberations.
The most that can be said tonight
is that there is a strong possibility
that the public session, at which k
is hoped to take a vote on ratifi
cation of the treaty, may nor 1 e
held until Saturday. If matters
should progress no further tomor
row, however, than they have to
day, i: was thought likely that even
Saturday's sitting would be private
and that the public session there
fore, would be postponed until next
week.
The interpretation placed on this
in that it is felt to be undesirable
to debate the controversial points
in detail in the presen.ee of the
newspapermen., and that public
sessions, of course, will be arranged
beforehand. The delegates to the
London negotiations and some <>;"
their supporters are said to be de
termined to afford themselves an
opportunity of stating in public to
the Dail Eireann, and through the
Dail to the country, the reason why
they recommend acceptance of the
trc aty.
The opponents of the treaty are
already anxious to explain their ob
jection to it. Some of them object
to inclusion of Ireland in tic- Brit
ish empire and some to the privy
council as the supreme court of ap
peal, and there are numerous ob
jections to assuming a share of
Great Britain's war debt.
Dr. Ado English, one of the wo
men members of the Dail. com
menting upon the situation this
evening, said:
"We need a strong man to get our
b-aders together. We must have
this treaty."
Heated discussions were indulged
in before this afternoon's meetings
was called, various members of the
Dail gathering in groups about the
corridors of University College.
They were so engrossed in their
discussions that the meeting which
was scheduled to assemble at 4
o'< lock was not actually called to
ord'-r until more than an hour later.
Even then th>- members had to be
reminded by officers of the Irish
Republican army that the speaker
had called the assembly to order.
A. IJnnr Law for Irish Treaty
London. Dec: 13.?The event of
the day in connection with the
Irish settlement was the decision
of Andrew Bonar Law. Unionist,
former government leader in the
House of Commons and one of 111 * -
strong men on the Ulster side, to
accept the treaty, and, if not to
invite Ulster to come into the set
tlement, a: ail events to counsel ac
ceptance of the boundary commis
sion, which the Marquis of Lon
donderry, in the House ?>: Lords,
hinted Ulster might reject.
Mr. Bonar La v had been confi

treaty, or. at the worst, to remain

Had he opposed tie- treaty, there
would likely have been an acqui

United States, Great
Britain and Japan
Finally Agree on
Naval Limitation
Washington. Dec. 15.- The first
: great stride toward a five-pow'or
treaty limiting naval armaments
was taken tonight when the United
[States, Great Britain and Japan
j announced a final agreement on
the American "5-5-3" ratio:
j The next step?elaboration of the
[agreement to include France and
j Italy?was initiated immediately
. within new naval committee of
[fifteen, in which all five powers
i are represented.
Agreement among the three ma
' ior naval Powers was reached on
j the basis of a "status quo under
l standing as to fortification of the
[Pacific islands. At the same time
the United States and Great Brit
tain acceded to Japan's ?? srie to
j retain her newest battleship. t!a
j Mutstt. with proportionate changes
; in the American and British fleets;
i While the i rineiples of the ori.g
i inal American proposal were noi
? impaired by the triangular agree
ment, the settlement contemplates
the following changes in Beets to
i be retained:
Great Britain, twenty ships in
stead of i .venty-one, with an ag
gregate of s2.or,-? ions- instead of
604.4-50 tons.
United States, eighteen ships as
originally proposed, but with an
aggregate of 525.000 tons instead
Of 500.650 tons.
Japan, ten ships as originally
proposed, but with an aggregate of
313 3"" tons instead of L'yy.TOO
tons.
At tie- end of the ten-year build
ing holiday, the fleets will stand
under the revised detailed plan as
follows:
Great Britain. 525.000 ton:-"
United Stat??--. 525.000 tons; Japan,
31 5.000 tons.
In announcing tie- three-power
agreement to the committee of fif
teen the following otfieial expla
nation was made:
"This arrangement between the
I United Stats. Great Britain and
I Japan is. so far as the number of
! ships to be retained and trapped
i is concerned; d? ? i?? ? t : * I ? at upon a
[suitable agr^envrnt with France
i Italy as ro th !r capital ships."
i Strict silence was maintained by
I all members of the committee of
! fifteen as i>> what transpired after
} the announcement had hen re
| eefved. an otTroial statement saying
i merely that negotiations for the
I five-power agreement and treaty
! were proceeding. The French group
I is understood, however, to have }?< -
i ...
srur: presentation ol r ranee s de

i to that of Japan in the revised tig

IVttack upon the four-power F-c
! cifir treaty was mad.- in the sorr
j ate today by Senator Reed. Demo
crat. Missouri, who characterized
! jj :,s a "gold brick" and an
":A;iberican-.Tapane5*e alliance."
Mr. Reed also turned on the
! American naval reduction propos
als which, coupled with the four
power treaty, he declared, made
'treat Britain "absolute master of
' the seven seas for ten years." Tit
'combination of tin- treaty and a
reduced navy, 'no declared, was a
"dangerous concession, going t<?
I the entire limit of prudence."
' In substance ami effect." he
1 declared, "it binds us never to
hav>- a navy greater than Britain;
\i conceded to Japan a navy out
of all proportion to her wealth and
population."
The "r?-5-3" proposal submit
ted by Secretary Hughes was de
; scribed by Mr. Reed as so gen
erous to Great F'ritain and -Japan
that he could not hut wonder
whether it had not come from the
British government itself. At any
rat-, in- said, it was so generous
and America ha 1 displayed sue!;
aItriuism that the United States
ou~br not to be asked "to pay the
price of foregoing the advantage
she now has."
"America demonstrated during
the war." he continued, "that she
could beat She world. Had need
he. she could have demonstrated
that she could conquer the world.
She lias the wealth and population
to eclipse ad! in the race for naval
armaments:
"She could have kept on and be

sin- chose to forego thai advan
tage; Now, it appears she j:< al

tin- blood of her sons tin- ambi
tions and avarice of Great Britain
ami Japan in the Southern Seas."
Mr. Reed did not complete his
diseusrioTi of the subject before
the senate adjourned. lie an
nounced that having made his
"preliminary statement" in- would
he prepared tomorrow to analyze

also that there wen? a number of
counties in the state hieh did not
produce corn enough t.'> supply the
home needs. All of these things
can be grown at home much more
cheaply than they can be purchased
from other sections, and producing
them should not interfere with the
production of staple cash crops but
should round out a well balanced
cropping system. On any farm oh
which a good rotation is followed
for the purpose of building up the
fertility of the land and maintain

ture, all of these crops can be
grown economically and to good
advantage.
Provide a Good Mi-Year ifomc
Garden.
On every self-supporting farm
"all-year" vegetable garden, be this
l large or small, is one of the lead
j ing sources of food supply, and
therefore is of first importance and
i
I of indispensable value. In fact,
without a good garden, both spring
and there can be no "100 p?r
j cent" self-supporting farm. The.
I underlying principles involved in
I good gardening are; (1) site and
' soil selection: (2'i advanced plan
ning: (2) deep and thorough prep
aration of the soil: '4) judicious
and liberal applications of fertiliz

careful selection of varieties and

For general farm, conditions, Ik ?
dual purpose breeds are the mos?
popular. Plymouth Wyandotts,

most popular and from records ap

poultry men because of tied*- great
egg-pr ?ducing ability.
When starting in with the farm
flock one should be sure to obtain
some purebred stock, especially
purebred males. Purebred stock
produces a greater number of eggs,
a more uniform product, makes

Washington, Dec. 17.?A bill au

: $20.000.000 out of the funds of
the United States Grain Corpora
, tion for relief of the distressed
and starving people of Russia was
passed tonight by the house, 114
; tO 51.
Opponent? of the measure fought
? it to the last and forced a roll call
or- the ground that the vote as an
, nounced did nor include quorum
of the house. The roll call re
sulted \r: i to 71 and the bill now
goes to the senate.
h wrangling over the measure
the house attempted to chop it to
pieces with amendments. The first
actual teat was on an amendment
by Representative Bankhead, Dem
ocrat. Alabama, to reduce the
\ amount from. $20.000,000 to $10.
OGO.O-.io, which was defeated TS
to 60.
There had been two solid hours
of debate during which a flood oi
eloquence was I..*, loose on the arg
ument that the starving' children
of Russia, regardless of the Bol

about their distress should have
! their cry for bread silenced with
American food. when, a new fight
was starred over proposals to tear
the bill to pieces.

it was easy to vote a tax on the
backs of the American people, and
cry at the same time for economy.
'?There are conditions of distress
in this country which would ap
pall congress if I dared relate
them." Mr. Madden shouted, add
ing that information to this effect
had been laid before him confi
dentially.
"Hur I can not see my way clear
to vote money out of the treai*
: ury." said the chairman, "when it
is not to be used to relievo the
' distress of the people we were sent
here to aer\ e."
When the time came to receive
amendments more than a score of
members, .lumping to their feet, de
. rnanded recognition. In the midst
oi the flood of them Etepresenta- 1
t.ive Goodykoontz, Republican. W.
Virginia, stepped forward with a
' new paragraph which would direct
I the president to spend ?'2u,u0?,0??
for relieving distress among the j
"starving, hungry and unemployed
citizens of the United states." It '
was hov. h d out on a point of or- i
der. but the West Virginia Repub- ,
iiean stood his ground.
"My amendment may not come;
within the rules of the house." Mr. i
Goodykoontz declared above the
din, "but it at least has the merit
oi coming within the constitution
: o'' the United States."
After that amendments were s?mt
up in rapid succession only to be I
knocked down. About all that was
tacked on to the original Dili
a direction that grain for the Rus
sians be purchased in the United
States and sent to Russia in Am er- i
lean bottoms, and a direction ttiar
j a re;?ort of all expenditures be
made to congress by the end of the
next year.
The house refused to include Ar- j
menia in the ma a to which relief i
wou bl be s< t.t.
