®AGE TWO . SELF PRESERVATION --self preservation, ‘pression that he created. - IS BRITISH POLKCY, SAYS LORD FRENCH Geog‘r:pl.lic;l Position of Ire- land Prevents Giving Honte Rule Similar to Canada By Webb Miller (United Press Staff Correspondent) “Dublin, (By Mail.)—This is a re- port of a conversation—not an inter- view—with' Field Marshall French, Viceroy of Ireland. Lord French in- sisted upon making the distinction. The Viceroy is evidently a brave man—morally as well as physically, Decause only a few minutes betore the conversation he had drafted a re-, pudiation of a similar conversation With the correspondent of a London newspaper as being “unauthorized and a misrepresentation of what passed.” Despite his previous experience with “conversations,’ ’'the doughty old Field Marshal consénted to dis- cuss the Irish question for American newspapers saddling the responsibil- ity for whatever was published upon the correspondent. “You know, 1 never give inter- views,” he said. “Of course, 1 have conversatibns with pressmen and whatever they write is their own af- fair. But I am not responsible for what they say I said or did or did not say, and do not authorize anything.” In a remarkably frank half-hour conversation the Field Marshal Ais- cussed the underlying reasoms for Britain’s present policy toward Ire- land. He conveyed the impression that the British policy is dictated by that strongest of human instincts— while ‘the policy from the physical standpoint is based upon the geopraphical position of Ireland upon the flank of Bngland. ““We can’t grant Ireland full self- determination,” he sald emphatical- ly. “They’re too close to us. Self- determination has its limits. It must be applied within reason otherwise the nations of the world would break up and eventually revert to some- thing like the ancient feudal system if self-determination were carried to extremes. For instance, the city of Dublin might say ‘we will have noth- ing to do with the rest of Ireland’ and the city of Belfast might do the same. I might sit here in the Vice- regal Lodge and say I'll have nothing to do with the rest of Ireland,” he added laughingly. “Your people in the United States are able to understand our attitude toward Ireland if you remember your ‘War of Secess. It’s partly a question of proximity. In reply to a question regarding Dominion Home Rule, the Field Mar- shal voiced similar objections. “They can’t have Dominion Home Rule. They are not a dominion, they are a part of the Upited Kingdom. We cannot give them a government like that of Canada because they are too close to uss Its largely a geo- graphical question, the same as your ‘War of Secession.” “We understand and sympathize with your difficulty with certain ele- ments over there. [ know the United States and love it and believe that your people will understand our po- gition and the attitude resulting from it.” Having heard that the correspon- dent had a long talk with Arthur Griffith, the vice president of the “Irish Republic” and the founder of Sinn Fein, only a few hours previous- ly, the Viceroy manifested consider- able interest in the personality of the Sinn Fein leader, and inquired about his personal appearance and the im- The Viceroy received the corre- spondent in the historic Viceregel Lodge which is unusually heavily guarded since the recent attempt up- on his life. The lodge is set in the center of a great enclosure in Phoe- nix Park. In addition to the squads which patrol the enclosure with fixed bayonets day and night, the lodge is surrounded by sentries. During the conversation an armed sentry paced up and down outside the hig window of the Field Marshal’s study which commands a beautiful vista of Phoenix Park with the low PDublin hills in the background. In the distance other guards were vis- jble keeping the vigil over the Vice- roy. Every visitor to the lodge is subject t0o an unusually close scrutiny. At several stages of the trip up the long a2venue to the lodge, visitors are halt- ed and re-examined before being pasced on to the next post. At the conclusion of the conversa- tion Lord French reaffirmed his de- nie? of the report of his forthcoming resignation. § “But you know this is no bed of roses,” he added. UNIVERSITY STUDENTS HOLD OWN CONVENTION Minneapaolis, May 12.—Uhiversity ‘students were holding a presidential nominating convention of their own today. Minnesota has the largest state university in the country and because students are from nearly every state, the convention is looked upon as an effective way of learning the senti- ment of young-voters. The students were divided into groups to represent edch state and in- structed as to procedure. Results of the convention were ex- pected to be made known tonight.

Uncle Ted Says “No” and Tell Why. “Please tell us about the next pre- sident, Uncle Ted,” teased Jack who, with Ruth, had just succeeded in planting Uncle Ted in the big swing on the back porch. ‘You said you’d tell us all about him some day and you never have.” “Jack,” replied his uncle as he lift- ed the two children into comfy seats beside him, “your memory is entirely too good. 1 did say I would tell you all about our next president some day and I will, but that ‘some day’ hasn’t arrived as yet. Nobody can tell who our next President will be until next November when every voter ym g0 to the voting places and cast his or her vote (because the women will vote in many places) for the man they want. Just now the are many, many men trying to be president. The republican delegates, who will decide who shall be the republican candi- date, meet next month in Chicago UNCLE TED’S BED-TIME STORY THE BEMIDJ! DAILY PIONEER Utah. Senator Smoot has been fought by many of the people of that state because they favor the world club which Senator Smoot has refused to accept, and which Woodrow Wilson has trier to force down the throats of the public. Most of the opposition on that ground has been discontinued, however, since people came to under- stand what the world club plan really means. Senator Thomas P. Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma, is fighting for his life in that state. He is a democrat and because he would not vote for the world club, Mr. Wil- son and the whole administration for- ces are fighting him. “Senator Asle J. Gronna of North Dakota has refused from the very be- gininng to make any move that would tie the United States hand and foot to this plan of the President’s. His term 1s up next March and from all I can learn his stand on this great guestion has won him hundreds, yes thousands of friends in a state which is having troubles of its own from within. If he wants to run again there is no doubt of his being elected: Senator and the democrats meet in San Fran- cisco in July. After these two con- ventions, as these meetings are called are held, I can te.. you more about it. So far as I am concerned, the man who is selected by the republicans at Chicago next month will be the next president. ” “Who do you think that will be?” asked Jack. «[ don’t know, Jack. You mustn't be so impatinent. There are a lot of people who would like to know, but there is no way to find out. Your guess is as good as mine. “Tell us some other story, then,” coaxed Ruth. “All right, Ruth, I will. T will tell you. something about some of our United States senators whose terms of office end in March 1921, next year. First you must know that United States senators are elected for six years and the year before their term ends another election is held. This year it comes at the same time, the people vote for president, which is ev- ery four years. There are many of our present senators who, it they are to serve again must be elected this year for another six years.” “Do representatives serve for six years, too?’ 'asked Jack. “No, Jack, they are elected only for two years. But you must be quiet now so that I can tell you this story. First of all I want to say one import- ant thing which I believe to-be, from studying the situation, just as true as the fact that I am sitting here, that the American people who decide who shall represent them in the United States senate, are not going to change the senate one bit to please Woodrow Wilson."” ‘“What do you mean by that?" ask- ed Jack. . “I mean that because most of the Senafors thought more of the United States than they did of every other country in the, world; and because they refused to let the United States join the world club, of which I have told you so much and which Mr. Wil- son would have us join no matter if it did mean turning our government over to foreign countries, the presi- dent would like to have all these sen- ators defeated so that there would be a senate that would favor the world club. Of course, Mr. Wilson won’t be president after next March and even if the men he wants were elected to the Senate they would not start to serve until he was out of the White ‘House. some of the senators who have fought Now I will tell you about the World club plan and who, if they are to serve another term in the sen- ate, must run this year. One of the first senators of this kind who comes to my mind is Senator Reed Smoot of 2000 AT FOREIGN WNFERI‘NCE San Francisco, May 12.—With 2,000 or more delegates present from all over the world, the seventh Na- tional Foreign Trade convention opened here today. Speakers of national prominence are to talk at four general sessions discussing various subjects dealing with America’s foreign trade prob- lem. An adition there will be thir- teen group sessions at which import- ant phases of the general foreign trade question will be discussed. The convention closes May 15. Elaborate entertainment features have been arranged for the visitors by a committee of 100 business men. Among the speakers will be James Farrell, chairman of the board of di- rectors of the United States Steel corporation of New York; Robert H. Patchin, export manager for W. R. Grace & Co., of New York; Dr. Henry Suzzalo, president of the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington; Frederick J. Koster, president of the Koster company of San Francisco, and chairman of the Pacific Coast committee in charge of the conven- tion; George E. Roberts, vice-presi- dent of the National City Bank of New York; William Sproule, head of the Southern Pacific railway, and other eminent men. Winnipeg, Man., May 12.—Accord- ing to statistics prepared by the Ca- nadian government, the sale of farm tractors in western Canada will run over 10,000 this year. The poor con- dition of horses which have come thru a severe winter and have mot yet been able to get pasture will hasten the farmers in buying tractors instead of more farm animals, it was believed. In 1919 nearly 9,000 tractors were sold and in 1918, 7,600. Many. of the machines came from United States manufacturers. Frank B. Brandegee of Connecticut, one of those senators who has veen known as an irreconcilable” because he has fought the world club plan, is another candidate for reelection. There is every indication in Connect- icut that Senator Brandegee has won a large amount of democratic support from his stand against the league of nations. Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio is another. He is an aspir- ant for the presidential momination on the republican ticket and his de- mand for Americanization reserva- tions to the world club has won sup- port for him in Ohio. “Senator James E. Watson of Indi- ana, holds the same record, and there are many voters in Indiana who would vote for Senator Watson be- NORTH DAKOTA CHOOSE NONPARTISAN OPPONENTS Minot, N. D.,, May 12.—1. V.

Spencer of Missouri, Back in the middle of last winter there was some doubt as to whether he would be renominated, when he took his stand against the league. But today he has solid backing of the republican party in his state, with a iarge number of anti-league demo- crats for him. . ‘““There are many others I could go on and tell you a lot about if I had the time, but it is getting late and you must hustle off to bed. Some of the others are Cummins of Iowa, who did so much to give us a good law for the return of the railroads to private ownership.
