6 IMO'S ENTITY AS FREE STATE IS LEAGUE PROBLEM I RY DAVID LAWRENCE (Special I.cawed Wire to The Journal -Copy- i right. 1921.; WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—1 s the ■ Irish Free State independent entity j so far as international relations are | concerned, or is it a part of the, British empire? Reniemberini? the sharp differ-’ ences of opinion which developed in , the American senate in 1919 aml 1920 over the question of whether the six British dominions had six votes or one vote in the League of Nations, Hie point now raised by t he llish'free* state is of more than aca demic interest, for it may in the end bring; embarrassment to the powers endeavoring to deal with Ireland as an independent state. The question has been raised quite unexpectedly by Great Britain her self, because her foreign office wrote to Geneva satting that neither the League covenant nor any conven tion entered into under the auspices | of the league was intended to govern , the relations between the various parts of the British commonwealth. This viewpoint is emphatically de nied by' the Dublin government, which registered the treaty of 1921 in accordance with one of the articles | of the covenant. The Irish free state applied for admission to the League of Nations more than a year ago and was formally admitted to membership. Great Britain raised nn objection, because Canada, South AT ricsL Australia and New Zealand had been invited to accede to the cove nant of the league, were in fact mem bers. No distinction had been made as between thp various common wealths in the British empire, as each of the dominions signed the Versailles treaty and the league cove nant. Territorial Integrity Perhaps the greatest opposition to American entrance into the league came from Americans of Irish de scent or affiliation, who insisted that under article ten all the mem bers of the league were obligated to preserve the territotrial integrity of members of the league. Ireland was not then a member and it was feared that the United States might be morally obligated to help Great Britain preserve her territortial in tegrity as against a rebellion by Ire land. The answer made by the friends of the league was that article ten meant the preservation Os the territory members of the league as against external and not internal aggression because the words “external aggression'’ were in the covenant. Still this did not satisfy the opposing elements. When the Irish Free State joined the league many Americans of Irish descent saw the league covenant as a protector to Ireland because, it was reasoned, the member states would' be obliged to come to the as sistance of the Irish Free State “as against external aggression” by any other member state, whether that state was Great Britain or not. The action of the London govern ment, however, in making the point that her treaty with Ireland doesn’t come under the requirements of the covenant may be construed as an anticipation of such a development some day though the reasoning of the British has always been that all the dominions might have a voice in international relations, but that the vote of the British em pire must be cast as a unit ami the obligations of each dominion must be those of the British empire as a whole. The article on the other hand under which the Irish Free State registered her treaty with England reads as follows: Every treaty or international en gagement entered into hereafter by any member of the league shall be forthwith registered with the secre tariat and shall as soon as possible be published by it. No such treaty or International engagement shall be binding until so registered." Being a full fledged member, the Irish Free State duly rejdstered her agreement with England which i.‘ definitely described as a “treaty" ami the Irish viewpoint is that it makes no difference whether it is called nn “international" engagement. Controversy Not Pushed Neither London nor Dublin is pushing the controversy to a settle ment by the league itself though each has the Wight to appeal to the world court for an interpretation. Great Britain might oppose such a step, but the league itself can ask for an advisory opinion from the court at any time and the chances are the public opinion of the world won I<l be Influenced by such a decision « ven though it was not binding on either party. So far as America and other na tions are concerned, the refusal of Great Britain to concede that her dominions are states in an interna tional sense, means continued diplo matic dealings with the British em pire as a unit through London no matter how many ministers or lega tions', commissioners or commissions are established in Washington or elsewhere to represent the British common wealths. The viewpoint now adopted b> Great Britain is an interesting se quel to the charges ma-de in the sen ate here that the British conspires to get five extra votes in the league us compass'd with America’s one. The orginal idea of giving the do minions membership in the league received in the fact more encourage ment from President Wilson than from the British who consented re luctantly and largely because they did not foresee the possibilities of controversy which since have been opened up. Ireland’s use of her mem bership in the league is such that there is no doubt here Great Britain would rather eliminate the six do minions from voting power altogether in the league if that could be done and so far as the American debate is concerned the six to one issue would then be removed. The Irish in America, ho '.ever, might then be even more opposed to the league than ever before. The independent status of Ireland may yet be achiev ed through definitition by the league and the world court. Power Co.

Ballard, state superintendent of schools, Tuesday morning was en joined in Fulton superior court from paying SI,OOO to the Homer High school, in Banks county, after a hearing before Judge John D. Hum phries on a petition signed by citi zens of Banks and Jackson coun ties. The petitioners allege that the payment of funds to school, as provided in a legislative act of 1919, pertains only to standard four-year high schools. The petitioners further allege that the Homer High school is not a standard institution. Payment of funds to standard schools in Georgia is provided for in the Barrett-Rogers act of the legislature of 1919, which provides that funds to the extent of $200,000 shall be available to standard schools, the money to come from the rental of the Western and Atlantic railway terminals in Chattanooga, Tennessee. According to the petition, the Ho mer school does not meet the re quirements set up by the act, and, ■ therefore, it would be illegal to pay any ninny to the school from the state treasury. A hearing on the injunction will be held January 3. The following citizens of Banks and Jackson counties signed the petition for injunction: M. C. San der, J. M. Eberhardt, J. T. Hale, P. K.

COOLIDGE PLURALITY IS LARGEST EVER IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—(8y the Associated Press). President Cool idge received 15,718,789 of the 28.- 920,070 votes cast for the three lead ing presidential candidates in the November election. His two prin cipal opponents. John W. Davis and Robert M. La Follette, received, re spectively 8,378,962 and 4,522,319 votes. • These official returns, complete from all sections of the country, give Mr. Coolidge the largest plurality ever recorded for a candidate - 7,- 339,827, or 334,980 mote than War ren G. Harding's plurality in 1920. The llaiding count of 16,152,000, however, was greater by 433,411 than h's successor's because the to tal vote four years ago was shared in the main by only one other lead ing Candidate—James M. Cox. Expressed in percentages, the Coolidge vote represented 54.4 per cent of the total of the three lead ing candidates, while Davis received 29.0 per cent and l.t Follette It>-G per cent. Harding received 61.6 per cent of the votes cast for all candi dates in 1920 and Cox 34.9 per cent, while in 1912 Taft was given 25.1 per cent; Wilson, 45.2 and Roose velt. 29.6. The popular vote in November, including ballots not listed in the Coolidge, Davis or La Follette col umns, reached a total approximately 2,500,000 higher than the 26.711,183 cast in 1920, despite that eighteen states, most of them in the south, cast fewer votes this year than they piled up in the Harding-Cox contest. The Davis total was 768,391 less than the 9,147,353 received by Cox, while La Follette's wa greater than mat of Tneodore Roos evelt in 1912 when he headed the last preceding strong third ticket. La Follette’s strength, however, was so widely scattered that he is cred ietd with only one state —Wisconsin —with 13 votes —in the electoral col lege, while Roosevelt received 88 electoral votes and ranked second to Wilson.

Dec. 24.—Al 'niost one-third of the personnel of . the Weehawken police force is un der indictment today, in connection with the operations of the alleged bootlegging ring in that city, as the I result of the indictment yesterday by the Hudson county grand jury of Captain John Dillon and Lieut. Ed ward John Kirk on charges oft mal feasance. Os the fourteen persons thus far indicted, eleven are mem-! Iters of the Weehawken police de partment. The finding of t,rue bills against the police officers, the raiding of forty seven alleged saloons in Jer sey City and Newark by federal agents from New York city and the charge made bj r Samuel Wilson, as sistant superintendent of the Anti- Saloon League of New Jersey, that there are a “few hundred open sa- ■ loons here” furnished the high lights lof the prohibition enforcement situ- I ation yesterday. Captain Dillon and Lieut. Ktrk were charged with responsibility for the alleged disappearance of a truck load of liquor in front of the Weehawken police station Novem ber 20. The truck was captured by Alfred R. Ransom, a federal piohi bition agent, who is said to have | testified that the liquor thereon was ■ j removed while he was telephoning n the station house. The raids in Jersey City and New- I ark were made under the direction j of Actiing Divisional Director W. 1-1 J Walker, of New York city.

PUBIISHCBE I WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. AI charge that the postoffiee depart-I merit's cost ascertainment report j was especially aimed at newspapers; and periodicals was made Wednes day before the senate postoffice sub committee by Arthur J. Baldwin, president of the National Publish ers’ association. Appearing at public hearings to oppose the $10,Out),000 advance in second class mail rates under the] administration bill to take care of I pay raises for postal employes, Bald- | win said Joseph Stewart, who had j charge of the compilation of the r<2- i port, had an obsession that the sec-I end class mail was a big burden on the department. “I think." he said, “this report is framed with one specific thing in mind, to show that the enormous cost in the postoffice is in the han dling 'of second class mail matter." I’or Fainter, Not Publisher Referring to the rural free deliv- j ery charge against periodicals, Balti- ' win said congress established this : service not for the benefit of the publishers, but of the farmers. This service costs approximately SIOO,- 000.000 a year. “That $100,000,000 should be re garded as an appropriation for the relief of the rural population,” he -said. Baldwin' said he was not present to say that the increase in the sal aries of postal employes is not jus tified and merited. “I am here to say,” he declared, “that as far as the method of rais ing it is concerned, it is wrong'.” Before Baldwin took the stand, F. 11. Sigsby, representing the account ing firm of Ernst & Ernst, which i made a recheck of the report, de fended the document. Defended by Investigator “It is our opinion,” he said, “that the data obtained for the purpose can be considered adequate and that it has been used in accordance with the best established practices ob served in obtaining similar results in commercial enterprises. The report I of the cost committee reflects a fair 'and reasonably accurate approxima- J tion of the relative revenues and ex penditures applicable to the several classes of mail and special service.” Like the American Newspaper Publishers’ association, Baldwin’s orga-nizat ion protested against the short time given for the publishers to argue on the cost ascertainment report. Chairman Moses interrupt ed to say that he regarded some of the conclusions in the report with "great skepticism." Baldwin disagreed with some com mitteemen that the postoffice de partment should be self-sustaining, lie declared it should not be so as long as congress decreed that it should handle free matter for other departments, should carry literature for the blind without charge, and perform other services at a loss. Not Logical, He Says “There is nothing logical or equitable in that arrangement.” he said. “Congress provides for this set vice, and then says that the other classes pay for it." Baldwin also disagred with the ex perts that the cost of handling each piece of mail should be based on time and not on weight or bulk. He asserted that it must cost more to handle an 80-pound parcel post package than a newspaper. Baldwin discussed the section of ti e report showing a loss of only $4,600,000 on handling magazines, other than scientific and religious works, which takes a free preferen tial rate. “1 have heard it stated in con gress." he said, “that the Saturday Evening Post alone enjoys a subsidy from the government of $25,000,000. This report shows that the loss on that magazine, the Woman's Home Companion and the hundreds of ! other magazines is less than $5,000,- I 000. 1 am glad the department j finally has nailed the falsehood re garding the Saturday Evening Post.” Turning Away From .Mails “It was disclosed .that some of the large magazines are getting away : from the use of the mails. | “Do you think our publishers are approaching the situation in Eng land where there are no mail sub ' scription lists because of mail rates?" I asked Chairman Moses. “Yes in the case of magazines of I large circulation/’ Chairman Moses expressed the opinion that the practice now of some magazines to ship large num bers of copies by freight for re-entry into postoffices in states other than that of publication is subversive of : the spirit of the second-ciass law privileges. This practice, he added, is to escape the zone charge. Determined to have a posetai rate increase bill out before the senate 'gets to a vote early next month on I the president’s veto of the postal sal ary increase bill, the joint congres sional committee drove forward with hearings on the measure.

Cobb Board Authorizes Dixie Highway Paving In Acworth Section CARTERSVILLE, Ga., Dec. 24. ' According to information reaching I here from Acworth, the Cobb county commissioners have authorized the pavinu of from four to six miles of the I'i'-ie highway, the work to start at the Bartow county line,'one mile west of Acworth, and go south ihri ugh that town. All papers of the contract have been signed, it is understood. The federal government wh: pa'- > ne-half the expense, the state highway department one-fourth and Cobb county onc-fourt-h, the Ut ter principally in convict/labor. The work is to begin early in the spring. It is also expected that an other stretch of pa.ving will begin at the southern limits of Cartersville, and go south for a distance of four to six miles, and later this will be extended to connect with the Cobb county project. When this work is completed a paved highway to Atlanta will be an accomplished fact. North of Carters- ; ville another project is to be started January 1. and this is believed to be but a beginning of a paved road to Rome. When that is finished, inotoi’J.sts may travel from the-Floyd cuuiity capital to Atlanta on a paved highway—and officials who say they know what they are talking about, are confident this will be consum mated within the next two years, at the outside. • , J TTI Ts TT in&T * misc. watch i M * n _ML_R| JL X NS catatoc F R.
