TIIE 3IORXIXG- ' OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1917. HOME RULE. PLAN REJECTED BY IRISH Mationalist Leaders, However, Say They Are Willing to Par ticipate in Conference. ANSWER IS GIVEN PREMIER TTlsterltes Declare Opposition as Strong as Ever, bat Ar Will ing to Consider Exigencies of Present Situation. DUBLIN, via London, May 17. The government plan for the settlement of the Irish question has received no pood word from anybody In Ireland. Nationalists, whether supporters or op ponents of John Redmond, agree in condemning the proposals They are regarded as the worst yet put forward and as putting- the clock back behind the position Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader, assumed at the Bucking ham Palace conference, tn 1914. It is pointed out that they exclude six coun ties without giving them a. chance of Voting- their views. ... Many of the Nationalists express the opinion that the partition policy was adopted as a tactical move to defeat home rule and that once home rule was recognized as Inevitable the Unionist counties would vote themselves in, especially the Episcopalian protectants. The home rule finance was baaed on the fact that Ireland cost 2.000.000, more yearly than she paid: she now is paying 25,000.000, instead of 11,000, 000 and the Premier's reference to the financial side of the Question, it is .; contended, means that a portion of her own money' will be given to Ireland. Conference Idea Approved. h The suggested convention of all rep k. . resentatlve Irishmen, however, is cor dially welcomed by all sections of the Nationalists, who regard it as based ; on a full concession of the home-rule principle. It is thought possible, how i ever, that the Unionists may not wish to Join in the convention, i . John Redmond, leader of the Irish ; Nationalists, in the House of Commons it today rejected the proposal of Pre mier Lloyd Geoge for a settlement of 'iv the home-rule question, but aooepted the proposal for the immediate calling of a convention to decide on a govern ment for Ireland. ' Mr. Redmond, in a letter to Premier r ILloyd George, accepts on behalf of the , Irish party the proposal for "assem-.-.-fbling a. convention of Irishmen of all parties for the purpose of producing a u-echeme of Irish self-government," on "condition that the "basis on which the " convention is to be called is such as to - : Insure that it is fully and fairly repre sentative of Irishmen of all creeds, in : ' terests and parties; and, secondly, that the convention be summoned without j-delay. - Premier's Plan Rejected. Mr. Redmond said Premier Lloyd Ceorge's proposal for an Irish govern '-r ment would. In the opinion of the Irish if (jiarty, find no support in Ireland. They therefore were irreconcilably opposed to it, and any ' tneasare based on that " proposal would meet with their vigor .. ous opposition. But, Mr. Redmond con. tlnued, the "second alternative, namely, y the assembling of a. convention of Irish men. has much to recommend It. I trust It may be found possible of real Jzatlon. My colleagues and I will place mo obstacles in the way and are pre , pared to recommend the proposal most ( strongly to our countrymen. t,j Mr. Redmond's letter follows: ii "Dear Mr. Lloyd-George: The grounds ' Thereon the Irish party decided not to negotiate .with the government are well known to you, and I do not think It would serve any useful purpose to j restate them on this occasion. I note what you say as to the impossibility n f taking action which would revive -violent political controversy In the j.- crisis of the war and the consequent necessity imposed upon the government of confining themselves to proposing a j settlement 'which would be substan- tially accepted by both sides.' - Explanation Is Promised. "I cannot accept this proposition and f tnust observe that it has not been ap- plied in some other matters since the outbreak of the war. ! '-I have laid your letter before my colleagues and they have carefully considered the two alternative pro , posals contained therein. The first proposal would not in their opinion find support In Ireland, and they de Blre me to inform you they are irre concilably opposed to this scheme and , that any measures based thereon will J meet with their vigorous opposition, ut The reasons for this decision can bet- ter. If necessary, be stated in the de pate on Monday. "The second alternative, the assent ',, ibllng of a convention of Irishmen of all r parties for the purpose of producing a ' scheme of Irish self-government has ;. much to recommend it. You sk: 'J " 'Would It be too much to hope that Irishmen of all creeds and parties might meet in convention for the pur " pose of draftmg a constitution which v- -will secure a just balance of all oppos- interests and finally compose the unhappy discords which so long have - distracted Ireland and Impeded its har- xnontous development?' "This is the great ideal and I trust "j Its may be found possible of realiza , tlon. My colleagues and I at all events will place no obstacle in the way and .v. w are prepared to recommend this . proposal most earnestly to our coun- ;., trymen on condition that the basis whereon the convention is t be called j Is such as to secure that it will be fully and fairly representative of Irishmen v of all creeds, interests and parties and, secondly that the convention be sum- .v xnoned without delay. If this era T. posal is put into operation I can assure , you that no effort on the part of my colleagues and myself will be spared to realize the hish and blessed Ideal YOU KNOW YOU NEED A GOOD COURSE OF MEDICINE. We Recommend Hood'a Sarsapartlla and peptlron Pills. It is found that many people who feel the need of a good tonic, an im mediate uplift, of pure blood and etrength get wonderful help, perfect satisfaction.

Replying to Premier Lloyd' George In behalf of the Ulster Unionists, Sir John Lansdale declared that, while the people of Ulster were as strongly op posed as ever to the entire policy of home rule, they have shown they are not unwilling to consider' the" exigen cies of the preesnt situation. While he and his colleagues had no power to bind the people of Ulster to acceptance of the Premier's proposals. Sir John added, they would undertake to submit them to the Ulster Unionist Council with the recommendation that a decision be arrived at which would promote the peace and security. of the empire and the cause for which it; Is fighting. In the lobbies of the House of Com mons today after meetings of the Ul ster and Nationalist parties the belief prevailed that all parties will eventu ally accept the convention proposal. William O'Brien, 4ader of the Inde pendent Nationalists, replying to Pre mier Lloyd George, said he was unal terably opposed to any scheme of par tition. He himself and his friends, however, were prepared to give hearty support to the proposal for a conven tion of Irishmen of all classes and creeds. BEER POINT PUZZLING BRITISH FOOD DIRECTOR TAXABLE TO DECIDE, Continuation of Brtirlml Likely to Make It Difficult to Get Increased Cereal Exports From IT. S. LONT50N, May 17. Influential rep resentations have been made to the ministry of food that the continuation of brewing in Great Britain is likely to make It more difficult to get in creased export of cereals from Amer ica. Kennedy Jones, director of food economy, gave the Associated Press a statement in regard to the complexi ties of the problem. Mr. Jones declared that a small per cent of grain was being used for beer and the question was whether the use of malt In bread or beer would secure the most efficient prosecution of the war. He said that beer for centuries had been part of the dally diet of English working classes and to cut it off suddenly might affect the output of munitions,. Mr. Jones also pointed out that South Germany Is still brewing 35 per cent of its pre-war quantity of beer against England's 27 Vi per cent, yet no one would suggest that the food situation In Germany has not been serious for the last 12 months.

During the Summer Quarter of 1SK approximately 10,684,000,000 passengers were carrrled one mile, exceeding the previous record set in 1913 by about 3,000,000 passenger miles.

UNIFORMS NOT TO CHANGE Secretary of - War Rules on Pro posed Alterations. "WASHINGTON, May 17. Secretary Baker definitely settled today the ques tion of proposed changes the Army uniforms "by instructing bureau chiefs that he will not give consideration to any suggested alterations in organiza tion, equipment or -uniforms of the Army that is not vitally Important in the successful prosecution of the war. . The Secretary's action was made nec essary by the persistence of some War Department officials that the service uniform of American Army officers be remodeled so as to follow closely that of the British army, with Its roll collar jacket. , - CAR MEN RECEIVE RISE Tacoma Traction Companies An nounce Voluntary Increase.

"AS USUAL" IDEA SCOUTED Unnecessary Work Must Stop and Efforts Bo Devoted to Needed Ac tivities, Says Frank A. Van derlip, of New York. NEW YORK. Ia V 1 7. T) Afferent business, but better business, for Amer ica during the war was predicted to day by Frank A. Vanderlip, banker and member of the labor committee of the Council of National Defense's advlaorv commdsslon. In a prepared statement xur. vanaerlip said the war will call for readjustments, but not for diminu tion in volume of business; that times will be better than ever before, and that the people should be getting ready for top-speed production that will util ize every energy. "T.ne sooner the nubile gets over the Idea that we want 'business as usual' or can have 'business as usual' during this great war the better for all," he said. "We want to stop all unnecessary work and all unneces sary expenditures short off and con centrate on the Immense volume of work which win have to be done. Business men should get rid of any foolish feara that economy will bring on a general paralysis of Industry or trade. Duylnn" of Luxuries Opposed. There Is no danger of not having work for everybody: the trouble Is that there is more work in sight than can possibly be done and the question is whether we shall cut off luxuries or necessities. It Is absurd under these conditions to talk of the danger of unemployment, and to urge that the people shall go on buying what they do not actually need to keen labor from unemployment or to maintain business as usual. 'How Is labor to be had to make uniforms unless it Is released from making other clothes? How are looms to be had for blankets unless released from something else? How is steel to be had for ships, tin cans and agricul tural implements unless other con sumption Is curtailed? How are women to be had for offices unless released elsewhere. And, finally, how are we to put $7,000,000,000 or $8,000,000,000 Of purchasing power at the disposal ot the Government unless we curtail our individual expenditures? 'The country should immediately awaken to the fact that it has a great task in hand and that it cannot carry on a war like this with one hand and continue to do all the business it did before with the other. Leans Will Be Circulated. "Most of the argument against econ omy assumes that the people who econ omize will hoard their money. That, of course, will be foolish, but If they lend their savings to the Government it will find its way directly back into circulation in providing for the Gov ernment's needs. These bond issues will necessitate more taxation in the future than in the past, but the per son who practices self-denial now In order to buy a bond, not only aids the Government, but provides an offset to future taxation On this account. The individual who takes his share of the bonds will pay hia taxes Into his own pocket. "Every community should- be closely organized for subscriptions to these loans. Once the habit of saving to buy a bond is established, it will not be abandoned -when the war is over. but a million new springs or wealth will be developed to help In the devel opment of Industry and the progress of society in the future.

Tseretelll, member of the Council of Workmen's and .Sol (tiers' Delegates.. The duty . of Ihese men will be to prepare for the consti tuent assembly. The government's declaration of pol icy begins with a statement that the government's aim is the attainment of a general peace without conquest of other nations, depriving them of their national sovereignty or their territory. In a word, peace without annexations or contributions. The declaration further meets the Council's demands by promising to take steps toward the attainment of an agreement with the allies which will realise the government's declara tion of April 9. The government, however, is con vinced that Russia's defeat In the war would be a great misfortune to all na tions and, while willing to make a gen eral peace, on the above foundations, believes firmly that revolutionary Rus sia will not permit the defeat of its allies in the west. The government consents to the council's demand for the democratiza tion of the army, but desires to com bine with a strengthening of Russia's fighting rorces. Wealth to Be Taxed Heavier. The declarations meet half wav the council's Socialist, programme by prom ising further control over the produc tion, transport, sale and distribution of products; measures for the bettor pro tctlon of labor: the right to a settle ment of the land qufV.ion by the con stituent assembly: increased direct taxation of wealth; development in a democratic direction of local self-government and the hastening of prepara tions from constituent assembly. In return the government demands such full confidence and support as will enable It not only to fight a reaction ary counter revolution, but also to take measures against the anarchists of the extreme left. A new feature was Injected Into the situation by the demand of the peasant congress, which began its sessions here yesterday, that its representatives par ticipate lir the discussions. The gov ernment and council agreed, and It Is said that five peasant representatives will Join the conference.

The army of BOO. 000 men to be raised under the selective draft will not be called Into service until about September 1, according to a letter received today by Senator Jones, of Washington, from the Sec retary of War. The letter from the Secretary was in reply to a communication from Sen ator Jones, submitting a suggestion from Ft-ank Waterhouse, chairman of the A ash ington state Harvesters' League, suggesting that soldiers be uern in tne narvest neias. The Secretary says: "The matter of obtaining labor dur ing the harvest season Is a very im portant one and is now receiving very earnest consideration by all the de partments of the Government. Owing to the depleted state of our supplies It will not be practicable to call out the .600,000 under the provisions of the act now under consideration by Congress.
