Smuts, Colonel House, Irish
Peace.
From an Article by Stephen Bonsai, in the New^York Times.
The writer of this article, at the time lieutenant colonel of the ipilitary
Intelligence division of-the general staff. United States army, was the Amer
ican member of the Inter-Allied Mission which, unde* the leadership of Gen
eral Smuts and under instructions from the peace conference in Parts, pro
ceeded to southeastern Europe in March, 1919. General Smuts' return to
Paris from Budapest was- hastened by the approaching Irish crisis pro
voked by the arrival of the Irish-American delegates in Paris, and the
launching of what was known to inner circles at the World eopgress as the
House-Smuts plan. How the semi-official negotiations that ensued were
carried on Is here disclosed for the first time by one familiar with this plan
for the pacification of Ireland, which failed two years ago, but IS now being
tried out ansin with better chances of success:
The herculean task which has been
tacitly imposed by Lloyd George and
the members of the British Imperial
conference in Lqndon_upon that wheel
horse of world democracy, Jan Chris
tian Smuts, prime minister of South
Africa, is one that is at least familiar
to this famous negotiator of difficult
problems. As a matter of tact, he is
merely reassuming a role he was chos
en to fill in the spring df 1919 at
Paris by Col. _ E. M. House, of the
American peace delegation. It was
the arrival of the Irfish-Amerlcan del
egates, Messrs. Walsh, Dunn and
Kyan, that brought the Irish ques
tion upon the carpet of the peace con
ference. What actually happened
after many amusing moves and dip
lomatic passages, is this: The Irish
ftaders and the English'^irime minis
ter did not get together and down to
business, as they are happily doing
now. They were kept apart, appar
ently, but only apparently, I think, by
a puerile question of etiquet. The
lrlsh-American delegates could not
write the mighty little Welshman be
cause they were not so instructed, and
Lloyd George—well, he “flinched.”
Tljat is what was generally said.
But is it true? It seemed to mefHhen,
and I am quite certain now, in the
light of recent events, that the Eng
lish prime minister, after sounding
public opinion in England by the sim
ple method of launching rumors and
contradicting them, and receiving a
well-nigh unanimous negative from
his home press and parliament, filed
away in his mental archives the
House-Smuts plan of compromise and
pacification, to be drawn out again
under more favorable conditions, as
now. The American plan for pacifica
tion of Ireland did not fail; it was
only postponed.
Now Lloyd George wanted to con
fer with the lrlsh-American delegates.
He, better than any ono in Paris,
knew bow close they were to, without
being involved in, the Sinn Fein or
ganization. He jaw the great op
portunity and sought to seize it, but
in his own way. He sensed the possi
ble settlement, but he wanted it forced
upon him. He told President Wilson,
Colonel Hpuse and Cfemencaau “that
as these gentlemen wanted to see him,
had indeed expressed this desire re
peatedly, and that as they were dis
tinguished American citizens of Irish
ancestry or affiliations, and above all
evidently men of irreproachable char
acter, he could find no reason why he
should not receive them.”
Several hours later Mr. Lloyd
George was saying to every one in
his numerous entourage, sounding
them as it were: “These gentlemen
in most courteous terms have writ
ten me that they would like to con
fer upon Irish affairs, and it seems to
me It would be grossly discourteous
not to accede to their request. Be
sides President Wilson. House and
Germany and the Swindler.
From the Columbus Dispatch.
It was supposed that the past genera
tion had* made Germany a nation of
hard headed realists, peculiarly kable to
slxe up the character of a business
proposition. Has the war bled hiost of
the business shrewdness out of her, and
left a rather unusual gullibility in Its
place? U is only a short time since the
story of the Gestnan "sport banks"
came over the cable, revealing a swin
dle so easy thanTonzi must have won
dered why he wasted his efforts on the
New Englanders when so much easier
marks were available. Ponzt covered
the source of his assumed gains under
a cloak of deep mystery, but the "sport
bank" swindlers merely proclaimed
their intention to make fabulous sums
of money by gambling on races and
other such events with the thousands
paid intp their outstretched hands.
A similar scheme in Italy, a decade or
two ago, was made the theme of a short
story, “Trenta per Cento” (30 per cent.)
by Matilda Serao, the well known news
paper woman and" novelist of Naples.
The German sharpers, were not so mod
est, but offered.something like WO per
cent, within a few weeks; and the
money flowed in in proportion to the
very absurdity of their promises. And
now an American, barely out of a Ger
man Jail for a former swindling scheme,
has organized a “Arm" on the mere pre
tense of English and American backing,
bought goods extensively on credit, sold
them abroad for cash, and escaped over
the German borders with the proceeds,
leaving Germany the solaceV>f Jailing
his less nimble German partner in the
crime.

European money and various United

man iu Europe or America would have

Now the wise admit they know nothing
about it. Sermany starts paying bil
lions to France and England and French
and English money go down, even more
raphlly than German money.
Over here, there wan a stock gambling
eflort to cheer up lieeause the president
"was talking disarmament,” which
would cut down taxation. But some
body asked "what will happen te the
poor eteel companies If they stop build
ing warships?" 'And the cheerfulness
died out.

Smuts and Botha evidently have the
matter much at heart, and I would
accede to their request even If my
own Judgment opposed, but, as a mat
ter of fact, It does not!"
Of course, the letter of the Irlsh
American delegates never was writ- •
ten except in the prtme minister's
imagination. One wit conversant
with what was going on announced
to all and sundry that the Indispen
sable and indefatigable, Philip Kerr
had been forbidden the golf course
until the document whleh he was re
ported to have mislaid could be pro
duced.
Colonel House nnd General Smuts,
of course, knew sooner than all others
concerned what was going on and,
above all, what was being said. There
is some reason to infer that, at the
first moment, they suggested the ad
visability to the Irish delegates of
allowing the legend as Lloyd George
was weaving it to stand. "All you
will have to do,” It was suggested,
"will be merely tacitly to acquiesce
in the version of the negotiations la
which the English premier has come
to believe with absolute and unques
tionable sincerity.” But, fortunately
or unfortunately, the delegates could
not see their way to this course, or !
yet allow this impression to be #a
tablished.
It is true that in April and May,
1919, Lloyd Georgo drew back when
a more courageous man would have
gone ahead, but we should not lose
sight of the fact that this display of
courage might have only led the way
to failure. The educational value of
the horrors that Vhave taken place In
Ireland during the last 24 months
must not be lost sight of. When it
became known to the London papers
that Lloyd George was "nibbling at
the bait of disloyalty," as some hot
heads put it, they, irrespective of all
party ties and of all creeds and previ
ous associations, attacked him, and
President Wilson, too, for "gating
dirt" and other high crimes ana mis
demeanors, including their alleged
recognition of the Irish delegatest
Today these very papers and the
English public which they mislead
• have learned much.
It Is even quite possible that the
result of the Dublin negotiations,
which are now In their critical period,
will fully justify the conduct of Lloyd
George in the spring of 1919. Even
then he was too well versed hi the
slow movements of democraeiw, how
ever Intelligent, to outran the mental
processes of his constituents. And
slnee then the lesson has been em
phasized by the defeat of President
Wilson and the fall of AEentzelos, who
both did good teo daringly. So today
It may be said with the approval of
the whole world, aroused as never be
fore to the horrors and to the dan
gers of the Irish situation, tho House
Smuts plan Is being tried out again.
