i .1 calendar year.
J " Must Protect People.
Speaking of the bill for the fund
ing of the debt, Senator Lodge said:
'.The United States has no inten-
n of playingrthe part of a usurer,
t it was the money of the Ameri
i .people which was lent to the al-
"i a-j associated powers in their
' ie" greatest need. The debt
v. (,zh the United States owed to
' lose powers, she has paid in cash
md has questioned none of them.
"We are well aware that some, per
'nps many of the nations. indebted to
lie United States, cannot now pay
,'ijir principal or interest, but some
r.-snngemcnt must be made to place
that great debt tipon a businesslike
Msis and to secure what is now prop
:rly due to the United States and her
people, for it was the people who
.cut the money," ' . '
: In his account of the achievements
sf the. armament conference, Sena
or Lclge "said that 7 abrogation of
:he Anglo-Japanese alliance removed
i I'soil in which the seeds of war
Slight easily grow.'' ;
, - Respect Others' Rights.
, The four-power treaty merely
provides, ' he continued, "that we
thall respect each other's right in
mch (Pacific) possessions and do
minions and that if controversies
irise' we shall consult before taking
ny further measufes. , There is no
lilianccs in it, no military or naval
torce is hidden in those simple paragraphs.-"
The only obligation we as
tume is that of consultation.
Speaking of the Chinese; settle
ment, he said:,' - i ' ':.
"The United States refused abso
lutely to accept the propositions
regard to , Shantung in the treaty
sf Versailles, and believed then and
believes now . that that province
ihould be controlled by China, of
which " it has always been a part.
But of the other eight powers at the
table in Washington, six had ratified
the treaty of Versailles and had ac
cepted that clause relating to Shan
tung. Therefore the only way to
jet that wrong undone was to bring
ibout - negotiations between Japan
nd China directly. This was ef
fected by the good offices of the
United States, represented by Mr.
Hughes, and of Great Britain, rep
nesentcd by iir. Balfour. The re
sult has been that Shantung goes
back to China practically unbur-'
dened." ..
Ireland on Brink
j I i of Internal Strife
; ' (Contlnunl from Pare One.)
Michael Collins' dramatic disclosure
of an alleged republican plot to over
throw the provisional government,
the sudden and unexplained suspen
sion of the British military, evacua
tion, and the' dangerous tension be
tween the north and south have com
bined to produce a serious situation
in Ireland.-
The outcome no one here ventures
to forecast more definitely han t-y
speculating on the dreaded possi
bilities, but dispatches show that the
position on the frontier is not far re
moved from a state of war. Indeed
the prospect of civil war is being
seriously discussed in Belfast and
elsewhere in the north.
The dispatches sent by Belfast cor
respondents of the London newspa- j
pers represent the temper of the
Ulster men as being such that, unless j
the k :i'iijtc J utiitMiikU are j-edil
rtle4eil, there will wuin'v folio

mrutt, little more is known here than

4euts from the Britith action in hold
ins; up the evacuation, and will ins sl
that "the contract shall be carried
through." Last reports were that he
was coming to London today to ck
an explanation.
Northern Danger.
On the other hand, the Dublin
correspondent of the Times believes
the upenion will not be unwel
come to the large majority of peace
able Irishmen.
"The northern danger, with its
threat to the whole Irish settlement
is realised acutely in the soutii,
which, however, realizes alo the
great difficulties contronting the pro
visional government," he writes.
"Collins has no military forces at
his disposal, and can not claim the
direct allegiance of the Irish re
publican army in County Managhan,
or in any other part of the country.
"This army is subject to the Dail
Eireann, and althjgh Artnur Grif
fith is president of the diil, he can
not use the army in any fashion to
which the large republican minority
i the dail might object. The whole
situation is preposterous and every
day of its continuance weakens the
authority and impairs the prospects
of the provisional government."
State of Anarchy.
Dispatches from Belfast show that
the Ulster men re still skeptical of
the ability of Collins and Giiffith to
procure the release of the kidna,--:d
unionists. I hey regard ine tree
state as in a state of anarchy.

were forced to get from under heavy

"Readjustment has set in. Most
stocks are now within from 40 to
