TWO IRISH PROPAGANDAS
The Irish controversy seems to be transferring itself to
A V-v w a . - .
American son. ue vaiera, so-called President of the Irish
Republic, has been here for some months, directino th
propoganda of the Sinn Fein party. Lately a group of Ulster
representatives arrived, to combat the Irish independence
t movement and set forth the claims of the Unionists to con
tinued British rule.
There can be no objection to the efforts of these foreign
DrODapandists nrnvided thv rirrv nn nfnrk i k.

iiipvi uuuuiy wun American pouncs. untortunately the
Irish question has been injected into the political life of this
country during the past year a good deal more than it had
any business to be, sometimes to the neelect of local issues
and the clouding of the peace treaty problems. Americans,
however, are keenly interested in the Irish question, and
much puzzled by the present situation, and will welcome a
chance to have it cleared up.
De Vaiera, challenging the purpose of the newly arrived
Unionist spokesmen, proposes the appointment of a com
mission to pass on the points at issue between the "Irish
Republicans" and the Ulsterites. He would have it consist
of two clergymen named by the Republicans, two named by
, the Ulster delegation and the fifth, as chairman, agreed upon
by the other four all to be Americans, and all Protestants.
This would be an interesting proceedure, but would
hardly dispose of the matter to the lasting satisfaction of
anybody. It has. been suggested that it might be better for
the rival propagandists to appeal-directly to the country in
a series of public debates, held in every section. Such de-
oaies wouia oe well attended, and the speeches would doubt
less receive wide publicity.

Public Tired of Belag Damned
It would be impossible to adequate
ly portray the woeful consequences to
all the people if the production
and distribution of the necessities of
life should be halted in the short dark
days of winter, says the Dallas Itlm
ixer. While the right to strike in aU
ordinary industries, under normal con
ditions, cannot be denied, there are
some callings which are so closely re
lated to the life, liberty and security
of the people that the right to strike
in those cases must be subordinated
to the right of the public to enjoy un
interrupted service.
