V a Staff Correspondent of Uni

(Special able Dispatch.)
Dublin, Jan. 10. Things threaten
to come to a head in Ireland witbin
the next few days. The Sinn Fein
movement is displaying an attitude
of unprecedented defiance and de
"termination.

the Sinn Fein, says today:
"ff the demand for the release of
the Irish prisoners is Ignored the
people must rise up immediately and
. force British acquiescence.

I Monday.','
Publish Preamble
' The preamble to the Sinn Fein
" constitution, published today says:
"The people of Ireland have never
relinquished the claim to separate
nationhood, and the provisional gov
ernment of the Irish republic of
i Easter of 1916 reasserted the inalien
: able right of the Irish to sovereign
independence and reaffirmed the de
termination to achieve it, and the
4 proclamation of 1916.
' "The supreme courage and glor
; ious sacrifices of the men who gave
their lives to maintain it have united
! the Irish under the flag of the re
; public."
Sinn Fein Constitution
The- text of the "constitution" is
is follows:
"The name of the organization is

' the;ir own form of government, this
; object being attained through the
Sinn Fein, which shall deny the right
innd oppose the will of the British
Parliament or crown or of any
foreign government to legislate for
Ireland, and it will use any and
every means to render impotent the
power of England to hold Ireland
j by military force or otherwise.
I "Xo law passed without the con-
tent of the Irish is binding. There
, fore, in accordance with the resolu
tion of the Sinn Fein adopted in
1905, a constituent assembly shall be
convoked as the supreme authority
; to speak in the name of the Irish,

bers of the British forces or any
who have sworn allegiance to Brit
tin." Disturbance! at Prison.

Wilson Plan Meets Some,
Opposition But Wins Mass
Of People of Great Britain
Senator Owen Finds Small
'Think in Terms of Territory" and Seek to btir Up
Strife Between Nations. Body of Opinion
. Favors World League.
t By ROBERT L. OWEN.
United States Senator from Oklahoma.
(Written Kspecially for Universal Service.)
0 (Copyright, 1919, by Universal Service.)
Paris, Jan. 10. After two weeks in England I am very sure that the
body of opinion of the English people is altogether favorable to the
idea of providing international means through the league of nations for
the prevention of future wars and as the establishment and maintenance
of world peace.- N
There are serious difficulties in the way.
There are groups of people connected with reactionary elements who
wish to maintain the old principle of the balance of power, wishing to
leave the smaller nations subject to exploitation. -
They think in terms of territory, coal and iron mines, commercial
spheres of influence, fortifieed boundaries and military and naval power.
They do not sympathize with the idea of a league of nations and sug
gest ingenious ways of postponing it. They point out difficulties; in short,
they are telling how not to do it
The reactionary elements in Ureal
Britain belonging to those groups
would now arouse antagonism be
tween the British people against
the United States. Their arguments
are advanced in various forms, but
they might be stated thus:
President Wilson is offering an
unprovoked challenge) to Great
Britain by threatening to build a
navy equal to or. greater than the
British; he is grossly inconsistent
in urging disarmament while author
izing a program of aval expansion.
He does not represent American
opinion in dealing with.-foreign af
fairs. Ihrough the press tney quote
with great emphasis speeches by
distinguished men in the United
States senate opposing President
Wilson on partisan grounds, having
forgotten the ancient senate maxim
that party lines cease at tidewater.
These ingenious ' arguments are
inadequately answered in the public
press. Yet it is vital that they
should not become prejudicial to the
league of nations and injurious to
the conservation of future peace and
the happiness of mankind.
Navy Expansion Natural.
Conversing with some leading
Englishmen, I explained that the
expansion of the American navy is
a natural result of war with the Teu
tonic powers of the existence of in
ternational anarchy and the lack, of
international means for the safe
guarding of world peace. These con
ditions have clearly compelled each
nation to arm in its own aefense,
but the act authorizing the expan
sion of the American navy contains
a provision stopping the program
whenever adequate international pro
tection has been obtained by . in
ternational agreement. I further
explained that America, in expand
ing its navy, is simply following
Great Britain's policy; that Ameri
ca's naval expansion is no more a
threat to Great Britain than Great
Britain's expansion is a threat to
America.

Group in England Who
Moreover- I explained that Ameri
ca had agreed with Great Britain
cn two occasions at .The Hague
in urging disarmament' and that, if
inconsistency existed between the
two policies this inconsistency was
as . much British as American, but
that there was no' inconsistency in
fact.
I asked them to remember that
naval expansion was inevitable un
der the old rule of individual na
tional force, while disarmament is
the actual sequence oj international
protection by a league of nations or
of a mutual understanding limiting
armaments.
Similar Aspirations.
In foreign affairs when seeking
to establish a league of nations and
a method of universal disarmament
and maintenance of world peace by
a world agreement, I insisted that
President Wilson did represent the
(overwhelming desires of the Ameri
can people who want neither to kill
others nor to be killed by others;
that the American people zre. just
like the British in desiring to de
velop their internal affairs and en
joy domestic life peacefully in pros
perity and happiness and that if the
leaders of public opinion respond to
the desires of the common people
who must face death on the battle
field, they will make effective this
aspiration of human hearts every'
where. s f
If the leaders at the peace con
ference find difficulty in reconciling
their views on these fundamental
points and in agreeing upon
league of nations, with the views of
the people of .the United States,
Great Britain and other nations, it
will be because those leaders are
blinded by the vision of many years
in the past when they unavoidably
thought in terms of fortifications,
military and naval power and of
force rather than reliance upon the
tremendous spiritual forces which
move men s hearts. .

Interior Department's Plan
Would Provide Labor for
Thousands of Men Dis
charged from Army.
Washington, Jan. 10. Immediate
consideration of the Interior depart
ment's request for $100,000,000 for
the reclamation and occupation 'of
215,000,000, acres of tillable soil in
this country by returned soldiers,
was asked today by Secretary Lane
at an informal meeting of members
of congress held in the house cham
ber. The plan of the department not
only will provide labor for thous
ands of men discharged from the
military service, Secretary Lane
said, but will greatly increase the
resources of the nation. Briefly, the
program contemplates that dis
charged soldiers be employed at cur
rent wages on vast reclamation
schemes in many states, and that
they be permitted later to select a
section of the reclaimed land for
farming purposes, the government
furnishing money to pay for the
cost of development. This money,
together with the full cost of the
land and interest, would later be re
turned to the government.
"The project will not cost the gov
ernment a penny," Secretary Lane
said. "Full payment for the land
will be made within 40 years."
Necessity for haste in making the
appropriation was emphasized by
Secretary Lane. Soldiers are being
discharged from the service at the
rate of thousands a day, he said, and
provision for employing them should
be made soon.

"Sometimes a fellow whistles to

Indeed, these days, the mayor's

APPROPRIATION
BILL PROVIDES
FORM TRADE
Commerce Bureau to Send
Agents Throughout World
v to Investigate Busi
ness Opportunities.
Washington, Jan. 10. Aid in the
e::tnsion of American foreign trade
is provided in .the annual legsilative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill for 1920 reported today to the
house. The measure carries appro
priations totaling $96,318,000, ap
proximately $7,000,000 more than the
19i9 bill, and provides for 19,435 sal
aries, a decrease of 178.
For the expansion of America's
foreign trade an appropriation of
$905,500 would be given the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce
of the Department of Commerce.
The appropriation, which is double
that made in 1919, contemplates the
sending of agents of the bureau
throughout the world to investigate
opportunities for American busi
ness. The home personnel of the
bureau also, is increased under the
bill, so that information as to world
markets may be readily available to
American business men.
To Assist American Firms.
Assistance also would be given
American firms engaging in foreign
trade, through the State department,
additions being provided for the de
partment's staff of trade advisers.
In providing for State department
needs, the bill abolishes the title of
counsellor of the department and
substitutes the title of under-secre-tary
of state.
The increase in appropriations
carried by the bill is due largely to
provisions for the 1920 census, ths
amount proposed for that purpose
being $13,650,700. The other prin
cipal increase is an addition of
$2,238,000 over the 1919 appropria
tion for the internal revenue bu
reau. Reductions from the 1919 bill con
sist mainly in elimination of many
positions created during the war,
