So far no G. O. P. rush for copies
of the separate peace resolution to
frame has been observed.
One of the international sports that
will create interest is the effort of the
administration to get Bergdoll.
Poetry may be soul food, as Dr.
Frank Crane says, but a lot of folks
would rather subsist on the baseball
scores.
Congress is in extraordinary session,
but it has done nothing so far to in-!
dicate that there are any extraordin
ary congressmen in attendance.
In redeeming the G. O. P., pre
election promise to devise a tax that
nobody will have to pay, yet is ample
to meet the expenses of the govern
ment, congress has a job on its hands.
We quote from The New Age maga
zine, as follows: "The whole body of
ithe priesthood have turned into elee-
i
itioneering agents and are employing
jfor political purposes all the engines
sand powers of their profession. With
such a condition of affairs the Irish,
jawed by superstition, seduced by
j hereditary prejudices, and menaced by J
priests, simplicity obey those clerical
firebrands; and "those among them
who have no fear of eternal damna
tion for them there is any amount of
j intimidation, burning of their houses
Jthreats of assasination, and violence iH
every conceivable form. Such is the
sacrihgious confhet, and it is this
state of things that the persisten,
well-organized and secretly financed
propaganda s asking the world for ac
tive assistance. "
America's foreign trade last month
was three-quarters of - billion dollars
less than in the corresponding month
last year. But of course a republican own judgment and dictates
tariff will restore it.
America, a nation of free peoples
guaranteeing the inalienable right to
every man to worship a he chooses,
and recognizing no church or denom
ination above aflbther, has no part in
such a fight and should play hands
off and leave it to the British nation
to settle this question accordng to its
Why are some of the Republican
papers so touchy now about references
to the separate peace resolution?- Did
not Harding vote for it in the senate
and declare for it in his recent mes
sage to congress? Having urged hi3
election with the knowledge that he
was for such a peace resolution the
logical thing for them, no that he has
recommended it, would be to look
glad instead of gloomy.

Yesterday the United States had
under consideration a resolution to
recognize the Irish Eepublic and a
prepared address urging the passage
of this resolution was being made by
Senator LaFollette. The fact that
Senator LaFollete hmself was advoca-
ting this measure should of itself be!
i
argument enough against it, in view
of his attitude all during this coun
try's participation in the world war.
As to whether or not Ireland gains
its freedom as a nation, is a question
in which this country as a nation has
no business to meddle. It is purely
a British question and should be left
to that government to settle alone.
Just as surely as this government pas
ses any resolution recognizing the
Irish Republic as av' separate nation, ;
just as surely will we be precipitated'
into a , conflict with England, and the '
turmoil ,of the world will be on again. 1
