Must Check Inflation. ' 'A review of Europe's situation the weak, disturbed and unstable storm center in international trade and finance draws us to the in evitable conclusion that there can be no stabilization of exchange upon any footing until there is a cessa ,S tion of inflation in the principal con- tinental states." says the statement. "Inflation is, the result of un balanced budgets, which themselves are the result of the necessary ex penditures upon reconstruction, the unsettled situation of German re narations, the maintenance of laud armaments and increasing debts. The disturbing forces are indeed pre- dpminantly ' European, and , while Europe has made great progress in agricultural, industrial, social and political stability since the war, the fiscal situation continues to disrupt exchange with'-great severity.

Lift Boycott on Ulster By JOHN STEELE, tltlrM Trl i.bl. ( f rlaktl. Ittt London, Jan. 22. A long tep toward eventual unity of Ireland wai taken when Michael Collins, the chief of the Iirh provinclonal gov ernment, and Sir Jamei Craig, the I'lster premier, met in London The lrikh dclrgatci in London regard today' meeting at almost important i: the signing of the pracy treaty itself. v The meeting was described at be ing mot cordial and Craig, who had recollection of Iris' meeting with Lamonn de .Valera when the Irish republican leader lectured hisn for 'an hour on Ireland' wrong in the past without coining to btiM uets, wis agreeably surprised to find Mr. Collins wa even more anxious than himself "to stop talk ing and to get on with work." Agreement Reached. After the conference. Iating only about an hour, an agreement was ar rived at w tiii li was embodied in the following statement issued jointly: "Michael Collins and Sir James Craig met in conference today. Aft er discussion the following mutual agreement was reached: . . "I. The boundary commission as outlined in the treaty is to be al tered. The governments of the Free State and northern Ireland are to appoint one representative each. t.) report to Mr, Collins and Sir James Craig, who will mutually agree on behalf of their respective govern ments on the future boundaries be tween the two. "2. Without prejudice to future consideration by his government on the question of tariffs, Mr. Collins undertakes that Belfast boycott will be discontinued . immediately and Sir James Craig to facilitate in every possible way the return of Catholic workmen, without tests, to the ship yards when a trade revival enables the firms concerned to absorb the present unemployed. Iu the mean time, a system of relief on a large scale is being arranged to carry over the period of distress. . Unite in Rail Settlement "3: Representatives of both gov ernments . to unite to facilitate- the settlement 'of the railway dispute; " "4. The two governments will de vise a more suitable system than the council of Ireland for dealing with problems in Ireland. -r "A further meeting will take place at a subsequent date in Ireland be tween the signatories of this agree ment to discuss the question of am nesty for persons arrested after the truce." (Signed), "MICHAEL COLLINS. ' "JAMES CRAIG." There is little wonder that this is considered the most important event since the truce. The first clause eliminates England, altogether from the .settlement of the Irish frontiers. The truce provides for a frontier commission from each part of Ire land and one from Eia!and. Now Collins and Craig, in less than an hour, agree to appoint their own investigators to settle the matter themselves, They also agree to throw over the council of Ireland as the link between the two govern ments and to devise something more effective, again without the aid of England. This - is .interpreted as pointing to an early unity between Ulster and the Free State. The lifting 6f the blockade by the south and the restoration of the Catholie-"workers' by the north elim inates the chief cause for religious and political bitterness in Belfast which has been responsible for so maiiy' murders recently. Another signifcant clause is the agreement to meet .in Ireland later to discuss an amnesty for post truce prisoners, again without reference to England. Most of these prisoners are in Ulster jails, the crimes having been committed in Ulster where the truce never was fully recognized.' , Ferry Boat With 75 on Board Marooned in St. Lawrence Syracuse, N. Y., Jan. 22. Seventy five persons were marooned aboard the ferry boat Ferdinand, fast on the rocks in the St. Lawrence river near the Ogdensburg lighthouse, accord ing . to . a dispatch tonight from.

( Special Tcl? ,,,;,m.)Kxplosion on gasoline in Nebraska' legislative hall eeni certain a legifdators from the four icrnrr of 'the state arrived tonight and began expressing view a on the i f.ecial session to, open Tuesday, t ' Early arrivals included member openly' for the gasoline tax, some are almost persuaded, and ome openly opposed to it. Everyone is for the McKclvie re ticncliment program and will "cut till it hurts'' when asked to vote on the $1.1100,0(10 slash iu appropriations Tax Promises Trouble. Dut the gasoline tax promise trouble. Many of tl)e early arrival feel it is a good measure and will relieve real property of a burden. They say there was not sufficient time for study of the proposition by their constituents to dispel the smoke screen of misrepresentation which aspiring politicians threw around it at J.c beginning. ' Lundy of Custer, living in the hot ted of Arthur U wrays louowers, said: "Two weeks ago if I had coin to Lincoln and voted for the gaso line tax they'd have hanged nic. A week ago a vote for it would have Meant a life sentence. .Now it proo ably would mean an intermediate sentence, and maybe two weeks hence, when the proposition is un derstood, I might be granted a par don." " Byrum of Franklin, usually a con sistent enemy of McKelvic measures, declared that while lack of under standing in his district made the tax unpopular at first, it was gaining in popularity. ' ''" ""' "I believe it will furnish some rei lief," Byrum said.' . Aurora Man Opposed. Anderson of Aurora is a bitter enemy of the tax. He says tv.erc arc a few out-of-state owners of farm property in his county who would benefit by the cut in state taxes which the gasoline tax contemplates. "I think they should be taxed the limit,'" he said, "although I would like to see the tourists dig up sev eral thousands of dollars for use on our roads. However, I am still open to ' conviction." ' ' Has New Argument. Ujallace of Orleans opens a new Jiheof thought in his argument for the tax. He said: "Towns and cities are filled with young people who own the clothes on their backs and an automobile; They are exempt from personal taxes under the $200 exemption clause .and the only thing they do pay in the taxation line is jn auto mobile ' license. Such people . us ually kick the hardest against the roads and drive more recklessly than anyone else. I .think they should help pay for building the good roads they constantly demand."
