THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. OREGON MONDAY. JUNE Z7, K21. HOUSE HOSTILITY TOWARD SHIPPING BOARD LESSENING Washington. June 27. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL.) Wnile the ftouue' of repre sentatives the other day, through its ; conferees on the deficiency bill, re fused to appropriate . $50,000,000 voted by the senate to provide for operation of government ships be yond the first of July and to pay the long-deferred claims of shipbuilders, house leaders have given assurances that thy do not Intend to starve the new board. .S v r."' : " i ' fr. . This was revealed by a later debate In ; the senate, when - Senator Jones of Washington questioned Senator Warren of Wyoming, head of the senate con- . ferees, .. and was informed that while the house members in conference had refused to yield one dollar for ship oper ations and payment - of claims, they promised that when the new shipping board gets down to business the money needed will toe voted "if there was evi dence that the board' intended to pro ceed with greater efficiency and more . economy. , ' As the situation stands, 'according to statements of .Admiral Benson to the .committees of eongreas, . there will be nothing on hand after July 1 for operat ing chips or for payment 6f claims. If the bark of the dog were as bad as y the bite, this would be extremely serious, for not long, ago Representative-Good, retiring chairman of the appropriations committee' of the house, declared that weere not going to appropriate, if I can: prevent It, a single penny out of the treasury for next year for this board that does not know Its business." He said the board must get its spending 'money out of the sale of ships and salvage of plants. -Inasmuch as ships cannot now be sold and salvage cannot " be disposed of at any reasonable price, the result of such a policy would be the tylngf up of practically all government '''ShipS.-'1 !.. ;''':'.:. . - Already over 600 steel ships and all the wooden ships are tied up, and a pressing question for the new board is whether it will , tie up more of them or keep the ships running, at a loss for a time, with the certainty that? congress will have to be asked to provide the money to do it. ' -There; is every indication that the new shipping board does not intend to relin quish the operation of the ships, but be lieves that under the Jones act its duty is to promote the merchant marine. APPBOFilATIO JC EXPECTED r It may also be predicted that the new board wilt 'favor the appropriation - of money to pay proved claims that are ready' for adjustment and have been de layed for many weary months. Senator Jones said he had viewed "with a great deal of anxiety" the state ment of Chairman Good, for be be lieved that this kind of a do-nothing, b top-operations policy, is just what for eign competitiora want. "If is hopeful to know," he added, "that if a showing is made by the new board it is absolutely necessary and de sirable, from the standpoint of the pub lio . interest, to appropriate some addi tional money to keep some of these ships running, as ought to be done, the con gress wilt respond: to such demands. I hope they will make such ai showing that - congress will see to . it that the ships that ought to be run are. run.' and that whatever claims are adjusted, that are just -and equitable, the shipping board under that provision will be made to pay them.". . .

Ulster . probably will be granted Bimllar rights. " SUCCESS PREDICTED Between the lines of Lloyd George's written offer to de Valera political ob servers believe they find sufficient evi dence to indicate that this final attempt of the government to end the strife has more than an even chance of success,. It ir pointed out that unless there had been previous unofficial interchanges between the premier and the Irish leader, it Is doubtful that Lloyd George would have made his offer. It is believed that before dispatching the letter, therefore, the British chief had assured : himself that such an otter, would have a chance of acceptance. It is noticeable as well that De Valera has never at any time intimated directly that he would toot be glad to meet Lloyd George. CHOICE OFFERED SEIN FEIJf What reception the offer will have is problematical. It will be- received by the conservatives aa .welcome move. The extremists will counsel rejection, and it is consequently a question of ' whether conservatives or extremists are in control of the Irish Republican organ isation. : -V'i.. ., Pointing out that the offer cannot be construed as any slackening by - the government fi its war against Sinn Fein, the Sunday) Times declares, with some authority, that this is "positively the last" proposal to be made Ireland and that It is a sincere effort to prevent rieiaS? further conflict : and a 'fervent desire for settlement by conference." 1 "If Pe Valera refuses to accept it," the Times declares, "tbe government will not shirk its-duty. A republic in Ireland is as impossible- as peace is essential. It is to be hoped that the invitation will be .accepted in the spirit in which it is offered." ; ULSTERITES BEADY TO PARLEY ' SJr James Craig has already ' replied to Lloyd George's invitation to the con ference : ' I am summoning the ' Ulster cabinet to meet Tuesday," he said, "and you may rest assured that no time will be lost in conveying to, you ' the result of our. deliberations. " . . The Irish situation has, ". therefore, reached a point towards which both the government and : the 'less radical Sinn Fein elements have been working for an entire year. - ;- i - ' :;- i . There- .are . thiee - possibilities. Ct Valera may refuse to negotiate. He may . negotiate enly to arrive at no satisfactory compromise. V Or, the ques- fion may be settled o the basis of ncreased powers for a . self-governing Ireland notably greater financial power and control of the constitution of the southern senate. The first two possibilities mean a fight to the finish, with - Sinn f ein In the end losing. The,thlrd solution means a north and south harmoniously united in cooperation, ,and the south working under Brttlsh-made legislative machcln ery for the first time -in Irish history. The first possibility.' : is . considered negligible, as Sinn Fein has always pro fessed itself to be waiting for what Lloyd George has now done after years of hesitation. . The second is more prob able, but is rendered doubtful by Sinn Fein's -knowledge that the government has ; been sending thousands of troops into Ireland during the past month and that it is holding thouSanus more tn readiness. - i. ' ; , HARMONY MOST X1KELY The third possibilities stand, then, as the most promising of fulfillment If. however, negotiation fails and military force takes its place, Lloyd George baa at least removed all grounds for op position to the mailed fist, program on the part of the liberals. It is openly agreed that Lloyd George's letter was based, officially, upon the fact that De Valera . and Craig had already held a conference on their own initiative and upon the sentiment cre ated by the king's "forgive and forget" speech at Balfast a speech which the cabinet had prepared and which the king, merely read.. " NEWSPAPERS APPROVE OP LLOYD GEORGE COURSE London. June 1 27. -T. iN. S. "The hour for peace In Ireland has struck," said the Times today. In commenting upon Premier Lloyd George's invitation to Eamonn de Valera and Sir James Craig to come to London to discuss an Irish settlement with the British gov ernment. ' .- Virtually all of the newspapers ap prove of tho premier's course. . The opposition newspaper, Daily News, which" has been an outspoken critic of the government's Irish policy, declares that the country Is confronted with the appalling prospect of intensified warfare in Ireland If the conference fails. It has been proposed, that . England administer Ireland as a" crown colony beginning July 12 unless the southern Ireland parliament (created under the new home rule bill) meets and sweara allegiance to England and King George. The view held in Ireland, said the Daily News, is that this action would be tantamount to actual declaration of war. This newspaper pointed out that both , general staffs. English and Sinn Feini have plans completed for great campaign, Thev Irish' republican army has been strengthened by enforcing con scription in industrial districts. " TWILIGHT OA DAWJri "Is this the twilight or the dawn V queries the Daily News In commenting upon the latest peace move. - ; The , Daily Telegraph referred to; the premier's invitation saa a "state docu ment of first clsss importance which will be closely scaoned throughout the world." . ?The letter waa jit forward, as a final appeal for, reconciliation in the spirit of the king's word i. at Belfast," said the Daily-Telegraph, t-- - - - - "The country looks for no niggling conditions but Yer :-a wholehearted at tempt" to bring "the deplorable situation to a end . and. conclude ; a' handsome peace." said the Dally Mail. . ."For the moment an attitude of cau tion and restraint from Criticism on the part of the Irish is necessary," said the Irish Independent adding i "If , the elected representatives decide to . accept they may be trusted to do everything possible "to secure terms eat factory to the Irish-people.? .... "We must taker exception to the at tempt of the premier to drag-Ulster Into a conference- with the Sinn Fein.' said a dispatch from Belfast, quoting the Northern Whig.: This newspaper con tinued: : ! :-' "What have we to do with De Valera's absurd claims to set up a republic?

(WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) Congressman Addison T. Smith of Idaho has coma to the front to combat - the representatives of women's organiza tions who contend for equal pay with men in the government service and in the activities outside which probably would be affected by governmental adoption of that principle.

By the time She is 35, he said,, she is likely to be fully pos sessed by the . idea of making money for herself, and enters the-old maid stage for good. . Along . this line Mr. Smith fired a broadside of questions-: at Mrs, Maude Wood Park, chairman of the national league of women voters, but he was unable to shake her adherence to the doctrine that for the same work women should . have the same pay , as men. Large numbers of women are forced to. engage , in useful employment, aid ing others dependent upon them, she said, and it is a condition,, not a theory.

"Obviously we cannot, and De Valera cannot, say anything offhand without due consultation. - , i "The question of accepting the invita tlon is being put up to the Dail Kireann (the Sinn Fein parliament). It is prob able that if it is accepted Michael Col lins, former commander-in-chief of the Irish Republican army, will be one of De Valera's colleagues on the ! trip to London. Another probably will ? be Richard Mulcahy, "quartermaster gen eral of the Irish Republican army." f Beta Collins and Mulcahy have been known as "marked men," as they were held by the British military authorities to be chiefly responsible for the numer ous ambush attacks --upon crown forces during the past few months. In Sinn Fein circles it is believed that the release of Arthur Griffith and Dr. MacNeill soon will be ordered. Both are In Mount Joy prison. Griffith is pres ident of the Seinn Fein.
