AUCKLAND GEDt WILL FIND MUCH FOOD FOR THOUGHT By Da rid Lawrence . ' ,V CoprrthUd. 1V20 , Washington, Aprfl 28. President Wilson expected to grant an audience to Sir Auckland Oeddes, pie new British ambassador, within a few days. The state department has 5 asked the British envoy to hold hlm ,elf In readiness for a visit to the White House. But Sir Auckland will find the tank of discussing International affairs with the--head of the American government . practically as difficult a the task of ' American ambassadors who have been . Instructed to . act as "observers" at the councils of state abroad. Kor whichever '. way one turns. President Wilson's treaty of peace and League of Nations, ' tinder which European governments are now functioning, stands In the way. IS ELAND WIDEK8 RIFT The whole structure of foreign affairs Is interwoven nowadays with the execu tion of the peace treaty which America signed but did not ratify. Bulking; larger, however, than the In determinate status of the peace treaty Is the existence in the United States of an aggressive group of American dtiiens who are sponsoring the cause ' ft .Irish Independence. In analyzing the . cause of the rtft in America's ranks over the peace treaty. Viscount Orey did not In his famous letter to the London Times ; feel free to take cognizance of what ' has been from the first an active oppo sition to the peace treaty and especially to Article 10 from the Irish sympa ' thlzers. CECIL WARNS BIUTISR While no British envoy coming to the United States may formally take notice of it. the Irish independence movement u this country is unquestionably in the minds of President Wilson and Sec retary Colby as one of the most deli- cats questions affecting relations be ' tween the British empire and the United , States. An authoritative outline of the Brit ish position as given the writer Is there- fore pertinent at this time. While the Irish questionhas gotten into American politics it is no less a disturbing factor In British poUUca, where the desire of all classes is to get something done Immediately. Only today, for instance, comes a cablegram telling of the speech of Lord. Robert. Cecil In the house of commons condemning the British gov ernment for "vacillation" and warning against a cycle of anarchy that would lead to an Irish republic. FREEDOM HOI LIKELT The British government Is resolved to enact the home rule blU providing for dual representation for the North and South of Ireland in an Irish parliament. This will be put through by midsummer or August of this year at the latest. As for Independence, the present view point of the British cabinet is practical ly unanimous against such an idea. Ireland is too close to England on trade routes, too close for comfort's sake In the event of a war in which Ireland might afford submarine or aerial bases to an enemy. The British government is willing to give the Irish people full control of their domestic affairs, but is firmly resolved to keep control of Ireland's ex ternal affairs in the same way as it maintains Jurisdiction over the foreign concerns of all of its dominions. EUROPE HEEDS PEACE There is no undue optimism in Eng land that this plan of home rule will satisfy the Irish people at this time, but there is a conviction that the people of Ireland may ultimately accept home rule as the best that can be obtained, it is perhaps a hope more than a con viction, but it represents the trend of British policy. In defense of England's "vacillation," It is contended that with the with drawal of the United States from an active participation4 in European affairs since the peace conference, the burden of keeping peace in Kurope has fallen upon Great Britain, indeed it may be said that the policy which transcends all others just now In the British cab inet is that of getting peace in Europe. MILLEEAND PLEASED The peace conference left a residue of quarrels and tangles and boundary disputes. Russia is an open sore. Ger many is economically gasping for breath and Italy has joined with England in persuading France to forget her war spirit for the moment and keep from strafing Germany. In this connection the writer is able to shed some light on what has for the last fortnight puz zled observers as to the true relations between France and Great Britain. The sharp note from England, criti cizing French policy in occupying Ger man territory, was not unwelcome by the French foreign office, where a small section of the French military party had succeeded for the moment in forcing Premier Millerand to act independently of the allies' with respect to the Ruhr valley episode. The British declaration gave strength and encouragement to the .elements in the French government who had striven' for common action with the allies and served to illuminate the French mind on the dangers of allowing the military party to cause a rift In the councils of the allies, something far worse for France than the grievances against Germany. DOHT UHDEBSTAJiD AMERICA But with the United States merely an onlooker, Great Britain is compelled to hold things together in diplomatic Eu rope. Settlement of the Adriatic ques tion helps bring Italy to the side of Britain and the cordiality of the meet ings in Ban Remo between Premier Mil lerand and Prime Minister Lloyd George Is regarded here Vs further evidence of a drawing together of the moral force and opinion of the liberal elements against the militarists of Europe. ThUB, while continental Europe wor rles the British cabinet, home troubles press - even more vigorously for atten tion. The-relations' between capital and labor are demanding an adjustment and something must be done to prevent the economic waste involved in the large estates entailed from generation to ten oration. And the Irish question grows more serious every day. American Interest in the matter Is hardly understood, but there are plenty of domestic reasons compelling England to give autonomy to Ireland.

TTNTDL, Kis thirtieth year the Master was the Carpenter of Nazareth. Could He possibly forget those carpen ter years when the years of His ministry began? Could the men who labor with their hands ever be far from His thought and prayers? To such men, oppressed and driven, men bent by toil, with hopeless hearts, He Spoke a phrase that flamed with power. it You are sons of God, 1 ' He told them. Sons of God brothers of their rulers and employers; with an equal right to happiness, to comfort and opportunity. All the hopes of Labor in all the centuries had their beginning in that splendid thought The Churches cooperating under the name of the Interchurch World Movement offer the pro gram of the Master; and His Golden Rule. "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." By that rule the industry of the future must be directed. Its products must be not merely goods, but good; not merely wealth but happi ness and character and joy. If you believe these things, you believe in one of the fundamental purposes of the Churches and of their agent, the Interchurch World Movement. And you have this month your chance to help. Whether you labor with hand or brain, whether you are inside the Church or out, you are a sharer in the benefits of the influence of Jesus Christ. Help to make that influence the ruling spirit of the modern world. Help to make industry a spiritual enterprise, where men shall work to gether not in envy but in mutual respect as brothers all, and "sons of God.
