OPENING GIVEN DE VALERA
Necessity of Acting in Close Asso
ciation of British Government
Is Cause of Anomaly.
BY GEORGE N. BARNES.
British Parliament Leader.
CCopyright, 1022, by The Oregonian.)
LONDON, March 4. (Special by
Wireless.) Are Michael Colins and
Arthur Griffith jeopardizing their fu
ture influence and power in the Irish
free state by their present temporary
service as representatives of Eng
land? Certainly they are in an anomalous
position, for while acting for the Eng
lish government in the interregnum
until an Irish election can be held
they at the same time owe an al
legiance to Sinn Fein. They could
not possibly function effectively on
the face of an adverse Sinn Fein vote.
De Valera, meantime, is actively
engaged in spreading propaganda
against the treaty and urging its re
rejection. The provisional govern
ment, therefore, is being subjected to
critical scrutiny. . This will continue,
, and any slip will be many times
magnified. - -
Affairs Daily Matter.
Everv dav the affairs of the south
era Irish government have to be dealt
with. They cannot be neia in sus
nense. Collins and his colleagues are
responsible for the Irish, services of
government, but they are without
adequate means to provide them. The
British government, therefore, has ai
located a sum equal to $6,000,000 for
the immediate requirement. Ar
rangements also have been made be
tween Dublin and London for com
pensating those who suffered loss or
injury in the recent guerrilla, war
fare. The logic of events is bringing the
provisional . government more and
more into co-operation with the gov
ernment in London. How that will
' appeal to Irish psychology remains
to be seen.
Despite an- ever-deepening depres
sion of trade and difficulties about
the Genoa conference, the Irish ques
tion continues to occupy first place
In the mind of responsible persons
in this country. This is more from
compulsion than choice, because we
would fain devote ourselves to the
economic evils which confront us.
But we are arrested by events in
Ireland.
Surrender Delays Bill.
The surrender of Collins to De
Valera at the Sinn Fein club conven
tion last week led to a postponement
of the bill in the British parliament
legalizing the Irish treaty. Confer
ences with tho Dublin ministers,
however, cleared the air and the bill
has again started through its par
liamentary stages. The net result of
De Valera's victory over Collins and
Griffith has been to strengthen Brit
ish opposition to the government's
policy and to retard the working out
of a timetable for the various stages
of the Irish bill. But, providing no
further obstacles shall be interposed,
the bill should pass in about a fort
night. ' . . j
There can be no election in Ireland, i
however, for at least three months, j
and then, in accordance with the ar
rangement made between the two
Sinn Fein sections, the vote will be
on a constitution as well as the
treaty. Collins and his colleagues
appear to hold the view that their
acceptance of De Valera's terms of
three months' delay and the Inclusion
of the constitutional vote was the
lesser of the two evils open to them.
For, if they had pressed the issue to
a vote defeat and chaos might have
ensued.
Factional Troubles Certain. .
The inclusion of the constitution
In the campaign in the next three
months is almost certain to lead to
further factional troubles. Therein
lies the danger of delay. The unfor
tunate feature of the present situ
ation is that Irish unity seems to be
receding. Sir James Craig, Ulster
premier, has even declined to proceed
with a jud'cial inquiry into recent
killings at Glones or to have any
parley with the southern government
until all kidnaped Ulster prisoners
are released.
In the northern area itself disor
ders are subsiding. It is true there
has been further bombing and shoot
ings at Belfast for which no arrests
have been made, but these may prove
to be the last outrages to be com
mitted with impunity in Belfast, for
the Ulster government has at last
issued an edict regarding possession
or traffic in firearms. As from Tues
'day last any person found guilty of
either offense is liable to punishment
up to two years at hard labor.
On the whole the Irish position is
critical, but I still think Ireland is
in a fair way to peace and tranquil
lity provided only that she is left free
from American or any outside or irri
tating influences.

versary on Thursday, March 2, in their home at 205 North Eighteenth

HARDING PROUD OF WORK

senate to read an address to the
legislative branch. The executive
and . the legislative branches do not
always see things in the same light.
Congress has disappointed the pres
ident grievously In its apparent ina
bility to frame a satisfactory per
manent tariff bill. Tariff making has
the particular forte of the grand old
party for, lo, these many years, and
that the party, after its most over
whelming victory, should still be
without a tariff after nearly a year
of struggle is incomprehensible ' to
the old party leaders.
It has been said that some of the
difficulty in congressional function
ing is due to the fact that the gov
ernment now is divided Into four
more or less constitutional branches
instead of three the legislative, the
executive, the judicial and the farm
"bloc"
. "Bloc" Blamed, for Muck.
There is a disposition to blame
much' upon the "bloc." It has not
been imbued with the old time G. O. P.
principles. But the members of the
bloc with the greatest serenity, lay
claim to having initiated most of
the really helpful legislation thus
far enacted.
The president has not had a real
fight with congress as yet. He will
not have it if he can help himself, tor
he does not believe that the best re
sults are achieved through open hos
tilities. He prefers a policy of rec
onciliation and will continue that pol
icy with congress so long as congress
itself permits. Mr. Harding is opposed
to going over the heads of anyone to
appeal to the people.
But 'presidential fights" seldom de-
velop during the honeymoon year in
the White House. From time Immemo
rial, however, the latter years of
! presidential - terms generally . have
been marked by turmoil and trouble.
The fact that - history has an im
mutable way of repeating itself has
not yet begun to worry Mr. Harding,
however.
Business Methods Improved.
To President Harding's own mind,
possibly, the greatest achievement of
his first year has been in the direc
tion of institution of better business
methods in the government. In his
inaugural address Mr. Harding said
that what was needed In the country
was less of government in business
and more of business in government.
He has attempted to carry out that
idea to the letter.-
The establishment of the budget
system gave the president his oppor
tunity, and he feels that the work of
General Charles G. Dawes, as com
missioner of the budget, has been
monumental.
The president has been particularly
proud of the work of Secretary Mellon
in the treasury department. Secre
tary Mellon is not very popular In
congressional circles. He has told con
gress many plain truths when con
gress was in no disposition to-hear
these truths. But President Harding
has stood staunchly behind Mr. Mel
lon and will continue to do so in the
future.
Economy and Reform Sought.
Mr. Harding has also endeavored
strenuously to bring about great gov
ernment economy and departmental
reforms, but it has been a hard fight
and he has not yet conquered the
'system" which has controlled the
Washington governmental agencies so
long.
The president feels much has been
achieved by the administration In
looking after the affairs of disabled
soldiers. The bonus for all the sol
diers has not been so deftly handled
and still threatens to plague the party
sorely because it is laid to rest.
President, Hardang promised in his
campaign that he would see that fed
eral agencies were used to stamp out
lynching in the south.
The president promised also that he
would do what he could ,to give the
American flag a place in commerce on
the seven seas. Almost one of the last
acts of his first year. in office was to
read a ship subsidy message to con
gress. This measure also promises
to meet with much opposition. The
president is discovering that a rec
ommendation to congress is one thing
and getting the legislation through
Is quite something else. J
German Peace Accomplished.
The president promised early peace
with Germany. This has been accom
plished by a separate treaty, which
brought no great protest from our
ex-associates in the war. At the end
of the year we are preparing to ex
change ambassadors with the recent
enemy country.
The president promised a foreign
policy which would involve an asso
ciation of nations. He feels he has
gone far in the direction of fulfill
ment of this promise in the accom
plishments of the Washington confer
ence.. The president believes in an j
association with the nations of the i
world, but not in an association en-
cumbered, as he says, by machinery !
and sanctions.
To many fair-minded observers the
Harding administration in its first
year has been made notable by the
disposition of President Harding to
give to each cabinet officer complete
autonomy in his own department.
The president let Secretary Hughes
dominate the arms parley completely,
with the result that Mr. Hughes has
been acclaimed around the entire
w orld. '
The president let Will Hays have a
fret hand in the exploitation of the
postoffice department, and so well
did the young postmaster-general em
ploy his time that at the end of 12
months he steps out of the govern
ment into one of the highest salaried
positions ever created in this country
said to be twice the salary received
by the president.
In conclusion it may be said that
Mr. Harding has put in as president
the hardest year of work he has ever
experienced. During the last six
months he has been particularly tied
down. But he hopes for a short vaca
tion soon.
direct relation to the better ,home
movement constitute the center of
interest in the home problems exhibit.
These extensive displays are ' de
signed to help solve the perplexing
problems of modern homemaking with
due regard for sanitation.
With "choice" as the slogan for the
clothing exhibit, the display will ex
emplify the principle that "to dress
economically means to choose mate
rials of quality, select designs easily
cared for and have in the wardrobe
onJy such garments as suit one's so
cial opportunity."
Institutional management exhibits
and demonstrations will be staged In
the new dormitory for women and in
the college tea room, featuring the
necessity for proper equipment the
right tool for the job.
Community dramatics will be demonstrated-

Veteran Senator Expected to Win
'Election Against Friends
of ex-President.
BY EDMUND HART.
(Copyrig-ht, 1&22, by The Oregon ian.)
BOSTON, March 4. (Special.) To
day Henry Cabot Lodge entered upon
his 30th year in the senate of the
United States. A year' from today
he will have completed his fifth con
secutive term. This fall he will have
to run the gauntlet of the voters of
the Bay state.
The democratic leaders of the na
tion as well as the state are going
to center one of their two strongest
attacks of this year's campaign
against Senator - Lodge. The other
great drive will be in President
Harding's home state, -in Ohio. The
democratic national committee in
tends to help in the anti-Lodge cam
paign and ex-President Wilson's
friends far and wide have sent word
to Massachusetts that they wish to
come into the state to help beat
Lodge. j
Six years ago Senator Lodge was
elected over his democratic opponent
John' F. Fitzgerald, by a plurality
of 33,000. It was Mr. Lodge's first
election by a direct vote of the peo
ple. His other four elections were
at the hands of the legislature. Mr.
Lodge had been one of the consistent
opponents of the election I of United
States senators by a direct vote.
Opponent Not Decided.
His opponent of six years ago
wants to run against him this year.
but it looks, at the present writing,
as if Mr. Fitzgerald would have dif
ficulty getting thj democratic nom
ination. His old political enemy and
brother in. politics, Mayor Curley of
Boston, whose two elections as chief
executive o- that city Mr. Fitzgerald
opposed, is grooming Sherman L.
Whipple of Brookline, for the nom
ination. Mr. Whipple is one of the
leading lawyers of Boston, rich and
ambitious to shine politically, and
would like to end his career as a
member of the United States senate.
There is unusual interest in. the
outcome of the Massachusetts sena
torial campaign this year,- because
of Mr. Lodge's prominence in the
senate and his leadership of his party
at Washington. To Mr. Lodge, by
reason , of his position as chairman
of the committee of foreign rela
tions, has been committed the task
of putting the new treaties through
the senate, just as it was his job to
kill the league of nations fathered
by Mr. Wilson.
Scene Is Memorable,
To Mr. Lodge also was assigned
the roie of curtain dropper at the
closing scene of the historic tragedy
of the Wilson administration when, i
as the senate's representative, it was
his duty to notify Mr. Wilson that
the senate had transacted all of its
business and was ready to adjourn
to make ' way for the coming in of
the Harding regime.
Those who were privileged to wit
ness the meeting of these two oppos-
I ing political leaders Wilson broken
Iin health and Lodge erect and mili
tant will not soon forget the mem
orable scene as Lodge conveyed the
senate's message, and President Wil
son's cutting reply that he had no
further communication to make to
that body. There was studied cool
ness in Mr. Wilson's curt answer as
he dismissed the republican spokes
man on that occasion.
Wllsonltes Among Opponents.
Wilson's friends have not forgotten
Lodge's opposition to Wilson and his
policies and they declare that they
intend to do everything in their
power to prevent his election this
fall. They also state that they are
not so particular who runs against
Mr. Lodge as they are in seeing the
latter compelled to drink of the cup
of bitter defeat.
Senator Lodge has already opened
his campaign for re-election. The
lead was "taken by Joseph Walker,
ex-speaker of the Massachusetts house
of representatives, one time candi
date for governor, whose father, Jo
seph Walker of Worcester, the "Gray
Eagle of the Quinsigamond," hated
Lodge with the venom of an Indian,
Mr. Walker used to be a standpatter,
but of late years he joined the re
publican progressives. His chief rea
son for opposing Mr. Lodge is the
latter"s stand on the league of na
tions. Mr. Walker states that if
nobody else- bars the course to op
pose Lodge in the primaries, he will
run.
Republicans Dodge Candidacy. .
One by one prominent republicans
suggested as desirable candidates to
oppose Mr. Lodge in the primaries
announced that they would not think
of entering a contest against him.
The feeling is that Senator Lodge
will be re-elected, but if he is he
will have to work harder for it than
he has been obliged to in former
campaigns. '
The prohibitionists would like to
see the republicans nominate a dry.
like John L. Bates, ex-governor, who
is strong also with the church ele
ment. Many of the two elements
blame Senator Lodge for the removal
of Prohibition Enforcement Officer
Wilson, who had the audacity to raid
a republican banquet, given at a Bos
ton hotel, in honor of Governor Cox,
seize a quantity of whisky and sum
mon several leading republicans into
court for a violation of the dry laws.
Wilson is now touring the state mak
ing anti-Lodge speeches.
Democrats Among Friends.
Strange to relate,' there has al
ways been a large number of demo
crats in Massachusetts, ready at all
times to rush to the rescue of Sen
ator Lodge, whenever his seat has
been In Jeopardy. Many of the Irish-
American voters admire him for his
ficht against the league of nations.
Lodge's friends say that for every
republican he Ioss on that issue he
will get two democratic votes.
Two Mail Contracts Awarded.
