an hostiity to anything accomplish

AMERICA AND IRELAND.
Kdward De Valera, who bears the
somewhat debatable title fit Presi
dent of the. Irish Republic, was told
on bis way to America of the'sen
ate resolution asking that the Paris
conference give him a hearing. He
replied:-
"America is the hope of tho
world. I never for a moment doubt
ed the sincerity of her war aims."
This remark suggests a situation
regarding which there ought to be
no misunderstanding. With De
Valcra npw ia America, and with a
big propaganda in Ireland's behalf
under way in this country, with the
work of the Peace Conference not
entirely ended, with the League of
Nations not yet formally sanctioned
and -with future British-American
relations still to be determined, it
is well that the relations existing:
between Ireland and the United
States should be clearly understood.
From De Va'era's standpoint, one
might gather that the United States
went to war to free Ireland. With
nil the sympathy and friendship
that the American people have al
ways felt for Ireland, it must be
said that that was not one of Araer
ica's "war aims." If there was any
thought of Ireland in the public
mind when we entered the war, it
was a feeling of disappointment that
she had not perceived the vital is
sues at stake as clearly as America
had, and had not played so fine a
part in the struggle as the Irish
traditions and interests seemed to
demand.
As matters stood, America did
fight for Ireland during the past two
years, but did so only in the general
sense that America was fighting to
keep Germany from enslaving the
world; German success would have
meant German domination of Ire
land, and that would probably have
been much worse than British dom
ination.
As a result of the war, allied pur
poses have been expanded to a plan
which alms at self-determination
for all nations. That includes Ire
land, naturally. But that does not
mean that the united btates is
bound to step in and deliver Ire
land from England as we delivered
Cuba from Spain.
The principle of self-determina
tion can be applied directly, immed
iately and fully only with regard to
the subject nationalities liberated
from the tyraiTny of the Central
.iiipires. The Pans (onterence is
war conference. It cannot pre
sume to interfere in the internal
arrangement of any of the allied
powers represented. And the United
States, as a participant of that con
ference, can no more demand that
Jreat. Britain free Ireland than
Jreat Britain can demand that the
uited States free the Philippines or
'orto Rico.
Any such formal demand would
be improper, and would be bitterly
resented. And it is necessary, now
and hereafter, for the sake of civil
ization, that America and Britain
get along amicably together.
The settlement of a world war is
one thing. Moral support for a long
oppressed nation striving after
freedom is another thing. This the
American people can and will give
Ireland. Americans will use their
best efforts informally, to persuade
the British to grant Ireland the
largest possible measure of self-government.
Ireland should expect no
more than this.

He doesn't always see the importance of good farm buildings, because
he harn't given so much thought to them. But thought and a little
investment pay as big dividends in buildings as in seed, stock and
machinery.
When a rood hog house will pay for itself in the saving of feed in one
winter, such a hog house is surely a good investment.
When a good poultry house makes chickens money-makers, such a
poultry house is surely worth while.
When a good implement shed doubles the life of farm machinery
and saves repair bills, such an implement shed is surely a money
maker. When a good barn increases beef and milk production at a saving
in feed, such a barn is surely a necessity.
All these things mean increased profits and make the work easier
and more pleasant. And on top of that, good farm buildings increase
the value of the farm.
We can give you practical working plans, speci
fications and bills cf material for any type of
farm building, free on request, together with
our estimate of the cost.
And our White Pine makes building easy and permanent. White
Pine when exposed to the weather holds its place without warping
or splitting or rotting. It stays put. Your banker will gladly loan
you money for a barn or any other farm building of this character.
The lumber dealer who has nothing more to offer his trade than a thousand feet
of lumber for so many dollars should lock up shop and so fishing:. That is not true
merchandising. "rp JU)t trying to compete with our dealer friends in seeing
how much lumber we can give away for as little money as the customer sees lit to
offer; but we are endeavoring to give tlio greatest SERVK'K and t lie ISEST grade of
lumber for the purpose intended. Our increasing trade testifies eloquently tht our
efforts have not been in vain.
