Dail Fight Over
Treaty Resumed
i After Recess
CountfM Markiewicz Would
Sooner Die Than Make Deo
laration of Allegiance
to King George.
Dublin. Jan. 3.-By A. P.) The
Hail eirrann lost no tine after re
convening today following it holi
thy recesj in plunging again into
sharp debate on the .Anglo-Irish
treaty. It had before it once more
an order of the day calling for con-
mderation of both Arthur Unthtns
ratification meeting and Esmon De
Valera'i alternative proposals.
It waa not gflnera.ly thought the
debate would ruir many days lonRer,
"many members anticipating a vote
by Thursday nigt or Friday.
Opponent of Pact Talks.
Ao opponent of the treaty, Art
O'counor of South Kildare, dail miiv
inter of agriculture, opened today'
debate with an argument that the
treaty tvas a step leek ward and a
declaration of belief that the real
heart of the Irish people had not
changed despite the numerous reso
lutions by various bodies in favor
of the pact. . .
O'Connor asserted that the cam
paign since the dail's adjounrnment
had in reality hurt the treaty.
O'Connor was interrupted several
times during hi address, noteably
by Michael Collins who resented
his attitude en resolutions favoring
the treaty passed by meetings of
the farmers and other public bodies.
Collins called attention to the suf
ferings of tihe rural population
whose houses Jiad been burned on
all sides.
Pierce Beasley of County Kerry,
followed with a strong speech" in
lavor of the treaty. He said he had
waited vainly for same signs from
the opponents of the, treaty of sym
pathy for the poor, prostrate Irish
nation. What the treaty's opponents
called principles were merely politi
cal formulae and high pitched rhet
oric, he declared. The Jives of the
, Irish people, he declared were being
gambled with.
Countess Markiewicz, the next
speaker, vigorously denounced the
treaty.
Scores Southern Unionists.
" Countess Markiewicz, in opposing
the treaty, condemned clauses xvii
and xviii of the document dealing
with arrangements for a provisional
government and the method of rati
fying the pact. She also said she
tiid not understand Arthur Griffiths
promise to the southern unionists.
"They are getting something spt
s:ial, and why? she exclaimed. "They
nre England's garrisons, and stana
for grinding capitalism and against
the workers of Ireland, ruining the
small farmers and driving them
across the Atlantic."
' She branded the southern union
ists as the worst enemies of Iceland,
calling them traitors, and oppressors
of the Irish working classes. Dis
cussing the oath, she said: -
sooner die than make a declaration
of allegiance to King George."
Sentiment Favors Treaty. ,
A review of the attitude taken
by the Irish people at large would
seem to indicate overwhelming sen
timent in favor of ratification of
the compact. Smce announcement
was made that the treaty had been
signed in London, 101 public bodies
have adopted resolutions in favor of
the treaty. .
Five more county councils Lim
erick. North Tipperary, Tyrone,
Louth and Wexford yesterday
added their voices to the chorus ap-
; proving the treaty.
The unanimity of the farmers on
the question is a notable feature of
the demand for ratification.
Factions Wide Apart.
London, Jan. 3. Rival groups in
the Dail Eireann, which met today to
take final action on the treaty of
peace between Ireland and Great
Britain were seemingly as wide
apart this morning as they were
when the Dail adjourned for. the
Christmas holiday. ' Advices from
Dublin declared the situation there
was dominated by partisan spirit.
' Hitchcock Wants Farm
. Hearings Held in Omaha
' Washington, Jan. 3. (Special
Telegram.) Senator Hitchcock to
day asked Secretary Wallace of the
Department of Agriculture to hold
the hearings which have been call
ed in the interest of agriculture, m
Omaha, "Where the farmers of the
great midwest section of the country
might be able to attend the confer
ence rather than have a few men
come to Washington, while the great
bulk of the agriculturists would go
without representation."
Secretary Wallace has not as yet
replied to the senator's letter.
Representative and Mrs. W. T. An
drews have returned from Hastings.
Mr. Andrews said that while he found
business just as bad as it could possi
bly me in and about Hastings during
the holidays, he was pleased to note
a little improvement in the Fifth dis
trict, and he believed that the worst
had been passed. .
Dr. Burt L. Spellman of Beatrice
is here visiting his daughter, who

Smallest Modern Gold
Coin Minted at Geneva
London. ajn. 3. Perhaps the
smallest modern gold coin in the!
world has recently been minted at i
G-neva. It is known that the
budget of the league of nations is j
calculated on the basis of the gold !
franc, which normally has no sep-
arate existence. One gold franc has ;

goods from the city. Mr. I (opts
advire was summed up as: "Sit tight,
buy less and raise less." He iiuh
it evident that if farm prices do not
rise the cities may sutler more thvi
the country. '
Has Many Problems,
"The farmer has as many prob
lems as a dog has tlcas, he wrote.
"The least of all his problems tochy
is that of increasing production: tin
greatest is restoring the just balance
between farmer and non-farmer ele
ments of society. The time when it
was possible to get more through
cheaper or better'production ended
in September, 1920. No other group
would act as have the farmers, in
creasing production in the endeavor
to make up for low prices.
"It is. entirely possiblo that the
corn crop this4 year will exceed the
average. This' will happen unless
a miracle occurs and we farmers use
our hands more and our feet less.
1 he cotton crop of the south was
never cut until the bankers insisted
that it be done. I am doing all I
can to bring back the parity between
selling ana buying. I his is by de
creasing production and increasing
consumption, and under the existnm
sittauion I feel every farmer should
do likewise. By letting some land
fie idle I am doing away with hired
labor, such croos as I can I am
holding. By borrowing on my land
i nave been able to hold my corn
and my alfalfa. I have not burned
anything but cobs and trash so far,
but will use corn for fuel rather than
buy coal at present prices. I am
buying nothing that I can possibly
get along without, patching and re
pairing machinery, using substitu
tions anu jiving mostly on garden
products, chickens, eggs and home
butchered meat Furthermore, I have
got a job m town for the winter.
While I don't ordinarily favor re
duced production and would much
rather live in a world where all do
their utmost, no other class does this.
Farmers have no ill feelings toward
other organized occupational groups,
trom doctors and bankers to real es
tate, agents, artisans and merchants.
Applaud Both Views.
The audience save this view
fully as much applause as those pro
testing against lessened farm output.
Senator Miller, while admitting some
advantages in limiting corn planting,
declared that there was no warrant
for a systematic cut and that the
matter of acreage would be taken
care of by farmers automatically.
Other farmers said that though they
expected the usual acreage, dry
weather might reduce the yield.
For all the difficulties besetting
Nebraska farmers it was emphasized
by F. W. Chase, a pioneer of Paw-i
nee City, that there is no agriculture
section in America.
Mr. Chase, after " retiring two
years ago, visited 36 states and went
even to Canada and Jkfexico investi
gating rural opportunities. Address
ing his audience, to the students of
agriculture college he said:
"Young men, investigate by mov
ing. I have found no place where
as many men have retired in ease
from their farms as in the central
west.' There is no place where the
young mart, can start out for him
self with nothing but his head and
his hands, and do as, well as in east
ern Nebraska, eastern Kansas, west
ern Iowa and northern Missouri.
There are no garden spots where the
other fellow is not there ahead. Mon
ey can be made regardless of the
price of corn, through the" cow, the
pig and poultry. The present poor
system of cultivation in this ' state
must be changed. Boys, you're go
ing over too many acres, make, every
foot of land pay you something.
There's no place where dairying
won't pay if a man's built right."
Governor to Speak.
Governor McKelvie will speak on
the special legislative session and the
subjects to be dealt with-by it be
fore the convention Thursday. The
address will be made in response to
an invitation from H. D. Lute, sec
retary of the state farm bureau fed
eration. Deportee Kills Self
