THE MORXING OREGONTAX, TTJESDAT, DECEMBER 20, 1921
DA L S DECISION
ON TREAT! WAITS
De Valera Attacks Agreement
as Blow at Republic.
INTIMIDATION IS DENIED
Irish Leader Declares That Am
bassador Can Be Sent to
America If Desired.
(Cnntinm-rt From Flrt Pane.)
OiLlders and several other prominent
men in the councils of the party
spoke today, but It la generally
agreed that the most sensational and
most lmprt&slve contribution was
Kobert Barton'e narrative of the cir
cumHtanfes under which he and other
drleKates. were, according to his
statement, forced to sign the treaty
without referring it back to the
cabinet.
Ireland, under the status granted
her by the pending agreement, would
have the same right as Canada to
jend an ambassador to Washington.
declared Michael Collins, Sinn Fein
finance minister. In arguing for rati
fication of the AnKlo-Irish treaty be
fore the public session of the Dail
Eirtann this afternoon.
Collins, long-time leader of the re
publican army, made the principal
argument of the afternoon for the
treaty he Bttrned in London.
Kumonn de Valera, the republican
president fighting for rejection, de
nounced the treaty as "subversion of
the republic."
This treaty," declared Collins, this
afternoon in denying charges that he
had been bluffed into signing the
document, "was not signed under the
personal intimidation of any dele
gate." The people, he said, did not under
stand the immense powers the treaty
had given the Irish people. Irish
aspirations were satisfied with secur
ity and freedom, and the removal of
the Itritish army was pnof that the
national principles had been estab
lished, he argued.
Cheer Greet Statement.
Mr. Collins' argument that the con.
titutional right under the treaty was
actually the same as that of Canada
and Africa and that Ireland, had no
less a right than Canada to send an
ambassador to the United States,' was
greeted with cheers.
In the course of his speech Mr.
Collins, referring to cablegrams he
had received from America, said:
"What I am going to say will make
me unpopular in America for the rest
ot my life. I am going to hide noth
ing I think for the sake of American
popularity.
"I received a cablegram from S'.n
Francisco saying: 'Stand fast. We
will send you a million dollars a
month.'
"My reply to this was to send half
a million and send a thousand men
fully equipped.
Change of Stand Refused.
"I received another cablegram from
a branch of the American Association
for Recognition of the Irish Republic
reading: 'Don't weaken now; stand
with De Valera.'
"Well, let that branch come over
and stand with both of us." (Laugh
ter.) Speaking of the economic penetra
tion of Ireland by England, Mr. Col
lins said:
"That Is a thing we must stop If
Gaelic civilization is to survive and
that Is what the treaty stops."
He would not, he said, refer to the
document Mr. de Valera had presented
as an alternative proposal, as he wav
not a man to take advantage of any
body, as the president would agree
President de Valera interrupted to
remark "You stand with the highest."
Mr. Collins said he stood by the de
cision of the Dail not to coerce north
eastern Ireland and that in framing
the treaty he had desired to insure
the good will of Ulster and bring it
into the Irish parliament
Mr. Collins concluded with a plea
for a clean-cut decision, begging the
Dail not to shift responsibility. Er
sklne Childers. secretary of the dele
gation to London who has been warm
ly seconding Mr. De Valera In his op
position, argued against ratification.
Robert C. Uartin, explaining why he
signed the treaty, said he and George
Gavin Duffy were against signing,
but when he realized war would re
sult if he did not. he decided to choose
"the lesser of two outrages."
.Mr. coiitns, at the outset of his
talk, reviewed event in the last Dail
cabinet meeting, before the Irish
plenipotentiaries returned to London.
11a said they left that meeting with
decisions or impressions which they
did their best to carry out. The Issue
was limited to the following Tuesday
by arrangements that had been made
withTremler Craig of Ulster, and he
declared it must be obvious that
there was no further time for re
ferring these late developments back
to the home government.
Letters Are Rend.
Mr. ColMna read the correspond
ence that preceded the negotiations,
showing that Mr. Lloyd George had
expressly barred recognition of the
Irish republic. Yet, he said, the dele
gates were chosen and sent. If they
had stood on recognition of the re
public, they could have said so and
there would have been no conference,
he declared.
He declared that the treaty was not
phgned by personal intimidation, but
everybody knew the whole position
between Great Britain and Ireland
had been based on intimidation.
"The treaty gives Ireland security
and political freedom." he declared.
England could not interfere with
Canada, Mr. Collins said, and Ireland
would have the benefit of the asso
ciation with Canada and the other
dominions to prevent interference,
tinada could appoint a represent
ative at Washington and in the
league of nations, and England could
not make war without consulting
(xinada. Ireland would be In the
same position.
. "Rejection of the treaty means a
dTlaration of war," he declared. "Un
til you have broken the British em
pire, I, as an Individual, but now
more than ever, shirk war. but I will
not be one of those who would com
mit the Irish people to war, without
the Irish people committing them
selves to war."
Change Held Ponnlble.
Some of the deputies had talked of
fixed principles, but those same pro
visions, he said, had changed their
principles, and, having fought against
the Irish people, now were fighting
in me ime 01 tne Irish people. They
might change again. The only fixed
principle was government by consent
of the governed; yet deputies who
admitted that the country approved
of the treaty would v.te against It.
He himself belonged to old. plain
Irish stock. These references were
taken to refer to Ersklne Childers, of
British extraction, and others.
Emphatically, he declared he was
not con tic uius tbe Xi&lit without con.
suiting the Irish people for the sake
of propaganda In America.
Ersklne Childers delivered a tech
nical speech on dominion status, which
he denied was granted, and he de
clared that the treaty was humiliat
ing. Deputy Higgins supported the
plenipotentiaries.
De Valera Wins Protest.
A sharp breeze followed a reference
by Mr. Higgins to the attitude of the
Dail cabinet. Mr. De Valera said he
protested against any reference to
cabinet matters. Mr. Higgins said
that the -president and his dissenting
colleagues should be prepared to let
go to the nation, the fact that today
the people must take their stand not
between an Independent republic and
the treaty terms, but between what
the cabinet was prepared to recom
mend to the Dail and the treaty terms.
Mr. De Valera insisted his proposal
was confidential and had been made
to secure unity. Mr. Griffith and Mr.
Collins insisted that this document
should be submitted. Mr. De Valera
said it was irrelevant and he was
supported by Mary MacSwiney. The
speaker ruled that a cabinet docu
ment should not be discussed without
the consent of the cabinet.
Sean MacSwiney, brother of the late
lord mayor of Cork, said he had in
structions from his constituents to
vote against the treaty. If they went
from the Dal! solid against the treaty.
the Irish people would be behind
them.
PAIULIAMEXT TO E.XD MEETING
Adjournment Preceded by Thanks
of King for Backing Treaty.
LONDON, Dec. 19. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The BritiSh parlia
ment was to be prorogued this after
noon until January 31, it was an
nounced by Austen Chamberlain, gov
ernment leader in the house of com
nions. The original understanding
was that prorogations should not oc
cur until the Dail Elreann had acted
on the Anglo-Irish treaty.
Explaining the earlier prorogation.
Mr. Chamberlain said that the gov
ernment had expected to have the re
sult of the Dublin discussion in hand
today, but it now appeared possible
that the debate would continue until
Saturday and It was not desirable to
keep parliament sitting.
King George's message proroguing
parliament said his majesty had "re
ceived with deep satisfaction the as
surance of your-, appoval of the arti
cles of the Irish agreement" and said
he prayed that "this agreement will
speedily accomplish complete recon
ciliation of the people of Great Bri
tain and Ireland.
CIVIL AV A II IS THREATENED
lister Not- to Take Part in Any
Boundary Session, It Is Said.
LONDON. Dec. 19. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Civil war in Ireland,
arising from Ulster's opposition to
the proposed revision of her boun
daries under the Irish peace treaty.
is seriously threatened, according to
the political correspondent of the
Westminster Gazette.
Ulster Is determined that "not one
loyalist shall be sacrificed againsl
his will to the Sinn Fein," he said, and
adds:
'She (Ulster) will certainly not ap
point a representative to the boun
dary commission, and if the commis
sion operates without her consent and
allocates any part of her territory to
tne south, mere win be civil war be
fore she parts with it."
TRUSTEES WOULD LINGER
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CASE
AGAIN BEFORE COURT.
IS
Reference Made to Letters Charg
ing Gross Mismanagement of
Publishing Society Affairs.
BOSTON. Dec. 19. The controversy
between the directors of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, and the
trustees of the Christian Science Pub
lishing society were before the state
supreme court again today on a peti
tion for an injunction te prevent the
directors from removing the trustees.
Pending determination of points at
issue. Hearing was set for tomorrow.
Reference was made to letters call
ins upon Herbert W. Eustace and
Paul Harvey, trustees, to resign. In
the letter to EUBtace it was asserted
that Eustace and his associates had
mismanaged the publishing society to
such an extent that the Christian
Science Sentinel, Christian Science
Journal and Christian Science Mon
itor had lost 70, 75 and, 80 per cent
of circulation, respectively. In 1920
and 1921; that net earnings had fallen
from $500,000 a year to "less than
nothing," and that no profits had
been turned over to the treasurer of
the church since March, 1919.
The trustees in their petition assert
the charges in the letters are either
"frivolous and baselees or insuffi
cient." but that under the circum
stances they do not desire to remain
in office. The court is asked to dis
charge the trustees from their trust
and appoint their successors after an
examination of their stewardship.
Mr. Eustace replied to the directors'
letter that, differences having arisen
between directors and trustees' as to
filling the vacancy, he had asked the
court to appoint. As to the allega
tions of losses in circulation in the
periodicals, the letter said:
"You know in your consciences
that these losses have - occurred in
spite of our best efforts and in con
sequence solely of the things you
have done or approved. You know in
your hearts that the Injury to our
leader's splendid publications, lies at
your door, that it has been caused
by the insidious propaganda which
you have wholly Inspired and ap
proved." He challenged the directors to a
bearing on this point.

BOMBIIMG DECLARED
DIRECTED Bf SOVIET
U. S. Operative Reports on
Wall Street Arrest.
THREE STATEMENTS MADE
One of Prisoner s Stories Is Trans
lated Into English Poles Are
Interested In the Case.
WARSAW. Dec. 19. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Wolfe Lindenfeld,
alias William Linde, arrested here at
the instance of the American secret
service for aireged connection with
the Wall-street bomb explosion of
September. 1920, has made three writ
ten statements to the police, one of
which. In English, covers his activi
ties for the last 16 years.
Sllvesttr Cosgrove. the operative
who brought about Lindtnfeld'a ar
rest, yesterday cabled the American
department of Justice the name of a
blacksmith who, according to Linden
feld, manufactured the bomb and en
gineered the details of the explosion
Cosgrove declared that Llndenfeld's
confession has corroborated his pre
vious statements that the plot was
financed in Moscow and that the mo
tive was to kill J. P. Morgan, atrik
Ing terror Into America and showing
the world that Wall street was not
beyond defiance. (At the time of the
explosion Mr'. Morgan was in Eng.
land.)
Poles Are Intereitted.
The Polish authorities are particu
larly interested in Lindenfeld s Rus
sian connections in 1906. They declare
that he was then active In the Polish
social democratic party opposing Rus
sian rule, but that he turned traitor
to the Poles, joining the Russian
secret service.
Llndenfeld's statement regarding
his movements since March of this
year, now In the hands of the Tolish
political police, was said to show that
he has been working against the
Poles again, this time in co-operation
with the Russian communists.
On behalf of Lindenfeld, his friends
have said he lived humbly with his
father while in this city and they
have discounted the Polish accusation
that he was involved in espionage
plots.
I. P. Morican'a Kme Mentioned.
According to Paul B. Altendorf,
who was said to have trailed Linden
feld to Warsaw, Lindenfeld made a
statement to the effect that when he
was In Moscow last August he talked
with Nikolai Leuine, soviet premier.
and Leon Trotsky, soviet war minis
ter, with reference to the explosion.
J. P. Morgan's name was mentioned
In this conversation, according to the
alleged statement.
Altendorf said the statement added
that Lindenfeld attended a secret ses
sion of the third Internationale when
the explosion was discussed, and that
he heard talk of plans for further
bombings In America. Altendorf said
Lindenfeld would go further Into the
plots as conceived for execution in
America .if he were permitted to
reach the United States. He said
Lindenfeld bas agreed to tell the en
tire bomb details as he declared he
had heard them discussed in Moscow,
including additional plans to kill Mr.
Morgan.
As the interlaced details unfold
themselves concerning Llndenfeld's
activities in America and Europe,
Cosgrove and Altendorf say they have
proof that Lindenfeld was a paid
soviet agent.
Kvrnta Back to 1003 Recalled, ,
Recounting his past to Polish se
cret service operatives, the prisoner
was reported to have recalled events
as far back as 1903 when he was first
active politically in Poland while
Russians held the upper hand. His
statements were said to cover all his
New York connections, his ac
quaintanceship with men and sev
eral women named by him as prin
cipals in the explosion plot and why
he left New York, believing he was
under suspicion.
Lindenfeld gave details, it was said,
of how he went to Danzig and pur
chased a forged passport for $7; how
he attended the third Internationale
secret meetings in Moscow, inter
viewed leaders, learned much there,
including the Internationale's plans,
and talked with "Big Bill" Haywood.
Haywood was said to have asked him
many questions regarding American
affairs, telling Lindenfeld he was
planning a trip to Mexico.
Many Atlanta Are Vsed.
Lindenfeld traveled under many
aliases, it was said. When he was
in Warsaw he usually was so active
that he had several rooms in differ
ent parts of the city. In addition to
a room in his father's house, which
was raided by the police.
For a time Lindenfeld and other
communists lodged in the same hotel
where the anti-soviet leader. General
Boris Savlnkoff, who was a member
of Alexander Kereneky's cabinet, was
stopping. The 'communist's were
watching Savlnkoff, whose men also
were watching Lindenfeld. Simul
taneously the Polish secret service,
was shadowing the communists.
Poland and the United States have
no extradition treaty, but as Linden- I
feld has expressed eagerness to re- I
turn to the United States, it is be
lieved this matter can be arranged, '
providing the Poles do not object.
The police assert Lindenfeld fears '
for his life owing to the many con
flVMng interests Involved in the rise

Arguments Completed In Test on
Right of Carriers to "l(arm
Out" Work to Contractors.
CHICAGO, Dec. 19. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Economy and effi
ciency were the only motives behind
adoption of the contract system of
car repair work established by the
Indiana Harbor Belt railway, George
Hannauer. vice-president and general-
manager of the road, told the
railroad labor board today in the
opening of the test on the right of
the carriers to "farm out" work to
contractors not under jurisdiction of
the board.
Twelve cases of a similar nature
affecting nine railroads and about
11.000.000 are before, the boards. Mr.
Hannauer was a witness for both sides
In the controversy. Through testi
mony by the general manager, Frank
P. Walsh, attorney for the railroad
unions who filed the complaint, at
tempted to establish that the con
tract system was a fraud to dodge
provisions of the transportation act.
Through the same witness, S. C. Mur
ray, counsel for the railroad, sought
to establish the legality of the system.
Through the testimony of Mr. Han
nauer, which took up practically all
day, Attorney Walsh attempted to
establish as the basis for his attack
that the contractors were mere tools
of the railroad in its alleged viola
tion of the transport act: that fore
men now employed by the contrac
tors were formerly employes of the
railroad and were still working under
the railroad's orders.
With the completion (of testimony,
arguments on the case were set for'
tomorrow.

CUBM SUGAR DUTY
ARGUED lii SENATE
Rehabilitation of Island De
clared at Stake.
BOTH FACTIONS ARE HEARD
American Companies Operating on
Island and V. S. Beet Sugar
Men Present Their Sides.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec 19. Ex
tended arguments for and against re
tention of the present temporary duty
of 1.6 cents a pound on Cuban raw
sugar were presented today to senate
tariff framers.
Spokesmen for the American sugar
companies operating in Cuba declared
that the rate would prevent rehabili
tation of the industry there, while
representatives of the beet sugar in
dustry in this country asserted a re-
turn to the t'neerwood rate of 1 cent
a pound would prevent development i
of that industry, if it did not de
stroy it.
Those representing American com
panies in Cuba declared that more
than a mere tariff question was In
volved; that the rehabilitation of
Cuba depended upon the sugar indus
try, and that the United States was
morally bound to aid that country.
They also argued that there was
11,000.000,000 of American capital in
vested in the Cuban industry as
against $200,000,000 in the industry in
this country.
Duty la Declared High.
It also was argued that the duty
proposed to be made "perament" by
the Fordney bill was the highest im
posed in 30 years and that it repre
sented a tax of $162,000,000 annually
on the American people. $81,000,000
ot which would go to American sugar
producers. Attention was also called
by witnesses that Cuba imported last
year $515,0(10,000 worth of American
products, and that since the economic
life of the island depended on its
sugar crop, much of this trade would
be lost unless the United States helped
rehabilitate the Cuban sugar indus
try.
Finally it was argued that the
clause in the Fordney bill permitted
American refineries to import at three
fourths of the normal duty two pounds
of sugar for each pound of domestic
sugar refined from beets or cane was
a violation of the spirit. If not the
letter, of the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba, giving preferential rate of 20
per cent below the full rate on im
ports from that country.
Discrimination Is Charared.
It also was contended that this was
a discrimination in favor of certain
American Interests and Injurious to
others.
Senator Smoot, republican, Utah,
took exception to many of the state
ments of .the witnesses presenting the
case for the American company. He
declared conditions In Cuba were no
worse than those In this country, and
announced that he favored the protec
tion of American capital Invested in
this country as against American cap
ital invested in other countries.
Spokesmen for the industry in the
United States testified that the beet
sugar industry had been developed in
17 states: that there was invested in it
$200,000,000 with 95 factories. It now
is producing annually 1,000.000 tons of
sugar, or nearly one-fourth of the
domestic production and is reclaiming
waste land because the beets will
grow where other products will not.
Acreage Now 800,000.
The acreage now Is 800.000. and
the farmers raising the crop number
100,000 who give employment to an
additional 80.000.
Given proper protection, the wit
nesses argued, the industry would ex
pand where It could supply most of
the domestic demand and in case of
war make the country independent of
foreign countries. It also was con
tended that the raising of beets im
proved farm lands.
