BRITISH THINK ONLY ' OF UNEMPLOYMENT Irish Question Overshadow- ed—Hope Seen in Lloyd George Coming Here. BY GEORGE N. BARNES, British Parliament Leader. By Radio to The Star. LONDON, October 22.—The problem of the unemployed has taken prece- dence here thls week. It indeed transcends all else in importance. Ire- land for the moment is comparatively unimportant. Irishmen are like the rest of us, and can live only by eat- ing. So to the unemployed Belfast man self-determination of Ulster is of little account compared to getting and keeping a job. The cabinet plans submitted to par- Hament during the week are pitifully inadequate. They were found to con- sist of increased financial assistance to the local authorities, who may in- stitute rellef work, and a_ more ge erous sharing of risks with those en- gaged in export business. In addition there were subsidiary proposals for supplementing insurance benefits and the granting of loans to poor law guardians. These measures may relieve the pov- erty of the workless by tilting some of their burdens to shoulders best able to. bear them. That is good as far as it goes, but otherwise, excepting where they may help to a resumption of nor- mal trade, the proposals will do little permanently to increase employment. The relief plans were assailed by labor with vehemence, and alternative proposals were submitted. As between the twa sets, however, there is but a choice of palliativ Blamed on the War. The abnormal unemploymeni is a result of the war. Having rlain Go- liath, we are now faced with the havoc wrought before he fell. To clear away the debris we must get more cordial relations between the employer and the employed. as well as lessened taxa- tion on industry and more mutual aid among the nations in the international sphere. I have put these in the order of easiness of application, though I be- lieve the first to be the best as well as the easiest. It may be applied every- where without waiting on governments anywhere. The Irish conferences have passed through a critical time, for the dele- gates have got through the initial meetings and may be presumed to have abandoned preconceptions which were misconceptions, and to have created a peaceful atmosphere by friendly contact But the real tug-of-war, to use a perhaps misapplied martial metaphor, will come when the claim is made to deal with Ulster as a part of Ireland. In that connection the latest utter- ance of Sir James Cralg, the Ulster prime minister, is of interest. Speak- ing in Belfast, he has just assured his followers that if called upon to take part in the parley he will yleld nothing. The point here, however, is in the implication of a willingness to take part. Hope Seen in Decisl The fact that Prime Minister Lloyd George after all may go to Washing- ton is hailed here with satisfaction and may be taken as a sign that in his view the Irish situation and his other preoccupations are getting less serious. In the Silesia settlement I must say that the league of nations council has scarcely risen to the occasion. The industrial triangle is to be divided. It is an erea crowded with mines and factorles, some of which will be sep- arated from their power plants. Two towns which voted 80 per cent Ger- man are given to Poland. The de- cision will create friction and inse- curity generally and thereby lessen the output. In view of the essential economic unity of the territory, how- ever, the Germans and Poles are in: vited to co-operate in its admin tration for fifteen years, after which they will be required to keep on their own side of the line. The allied powers are, of course, pledged to the acceptance of the de- cision. Owing perhaps to regard for our French friends there is indeed but little criticism to be heard here. My own view is that effect can be given to it for the specified time only if the Germans and Poles are agree- able. That is, it may evade facts for fifteen years at the cost of efficiency. After that, the deluge. (Copyright, 1921.) British War Mother to Honor Unknown American Warrior MRS.

ROME, October 3.—Americans who have paid the Itallan luxury tax de- manded in the so-called de Iluxe restaurants of Rome will be cha- grined to learn that four of those restaurants which draw large num- bers of visitors from overseas did not turn that tax money into the Italian treasury at all, but simply put it in_the restaurant cash drawer. The restaurants which have just been discovered by the Italian police as_collecting this money from the public under the guise of a national tax have#ll been brought to account for the illegal manipulation of ac- counts, and have been fined 1,000,000 lire by the Italian finance depart- ment. The Umberto restaurant paid the highest fine, which aggregated 558.800 lire. The Castello di Cesari paid 78,191 lire; the Regina, 391,800, and the Taverna Russia, 23,900 lire. (At normal exchange 1,000,000 lire would be equivalent to about $200,000; at current rates to about $40,000.) The waiters of these restaurants ‘would present the bill to the custom- ers adding on 10 per cent for the luxury tax. No record was kept of the 10 per cent on the bill, and, ae- cordingly, no return was made to the Italian finance department. When the authorities discovered the ruse they took the books of these restaur- ants and placed a fine amounting to the discrepancies. TIGER HUNT WITH PISTOL. Navy’s Crack Shot Hopes to Get _ Big Game With Revolver. - SHANGHALIL, September 8 (By mail). —Commander E. H. Cope, U. 8. N)-. who_has held the post of paymaster at Shanghai for the past several years, Is carrying out a wholly novel purpose in connection with a big game hunt that is to precede his re- turn to America for a new assign- ment, as he has been transferred. Having sailed from Shanghai in Au- gust, he is going after big game in Indo China, and he intends, he said before he sailed, to shoot a tiger with a revolver. Commander Cope has long been known as one of the best, if not the best, revolver shot in the United States Nav He has captured vir- tually all the trophies for revolver shooting in the far east. Demand for Arms Limitation Universal, Tokio Writer Says TOKIO, September 7 (By Mail).— The forthcoming conference in Wash- ington is a fruitful topic of discussion with magazine writers, and a consid- erable portion of the current issue of the Taikwan (Outlook) is devoted to a consideration of the subject from various points of view. One of the articles in question comes from the pen of Yotaro Sugimura of the for- cign office, who directs his attention principally to limitation of arma- ments. g This limitation, he declares, is now a universal demand, arising, not so much from a desire to lighten finan- cial burdens, as from a fervent wish to avert the horrors of war. Much as this is desired, it is extremely difficult of achievement, not only be- cause a numerical cr a financial scale of reduction is not at all easy to assess fairly, but rather because it is almost impossible to fix a standard of universal application, and because if an agreement on standard should he reached it would be of no practical use without some organ by which the agreement may be enforced. Cites World's First Need. The world’s first need today, he says, is an effective instrument to prevent war, or rather to guarantee peace, because with the establishment of peace naturally comes disarmament. The league of nations is good as far as it goes, but it is far from com- plete. in that it touches only the ma- terial side of the problem. b in Mr. Sugimura’s opinion, no hope of a lasting peace until in- ternational relations are regulated-by the spirit of justice and law, so that all disputes between nations may be Settled not by force of arms, but by an appeal to the law. This involves a moral reconstruction of man + which is still far off and must nece: earily be of slow growth. Therefore, the world must, in the meantime, be satisfied with the next best thing, and that is, according to the writer, the Jeague of nations, which he urges America to join. in preference to her as yet unborn and untried assoc’ation of nations. Though_ in sympathy with Amer- ica’s good intentions, Mr. Sugimura fails to understand why far eastern problems particularly = should be Twught up for discussion. Trouble 1s likely to occur in any part of the world, Europe or South America, and vet no consideration is to be given to that. But putting this on one side, he says the most important thing is to explain clearly the exact connec- tion between the question of arma- ments and that of the far east -and the Pacific. It stands to reason that lne subjects to be discussed must be closely connected with the plan of ef- fecting a limitation of armaments, and they must, if necessary, include many so-called accomplished 'facts. Argues Against’Diserimination. 1t would be wrong, for instance, to discriminate between territorial rights and the rights of spheres of influence. It would be decidedly unjust to p serve the former and abolish the lat- ter. Rather than that. all “accom- plished facts® should be recognized. Reverting #o his earlier argument, that the demand of the times is for the institution of an international au- thority to insure the free and untram- meled operation of the open door and equal opportunity principle through- out the world, to promote interna- tional competition without bloodshed, and to enable all to enjoy and share the bounties of the earth. Mr. Sugi- mura holds that until the world is ready for the establishment of such an authority, by a higher moral at- tainment, ail that can be expected of the Washington conference is a “gen- tlemen's agreement.” in which _the main motive power will be a spirit of self-restraint on the part of the sig- natory powers. —_— THEFTS OF FOOD SENT RUSSIA VERY SMALL W. L. Brown, Relief Director, Denies Any “Looting” of United States Supplies. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 20.—Thefts of food supplies sent to Russia by ‘the American Relief Administration have been very small, says a letter from Walter Lyman Brown, European di- rector of the administration, which is auoted by today’s London Times. 'rhei letter concerns primarily reports that dhe Russians took large quantities of supplies sent to Petrograd on | board the anish steamship Phoenix, and Mr. Brown declares the loss occasioned by the action of long- shoremen there was only slightly more than one-half of 1 per cent of the cargo. He adds that this loss could not “by any stretch of the imagination be calied looting. Only 7,790 pounds-of a cargo of 1,378,363 pounds was missing between the time the steamer was loaded In Hamburg until - the- supplies were Pplaced in the Petrograd.warehouses, and this shortage was inclusive of alf losses. Mr. Brown's letter adds that American Relief Administration trains have reached distant points in Kazan Shamara, Stmbirsk and Saratov with comparatively no shortage in their contents. .

S8pecial Dispatch to The Star. OTTAWA, October 22.—Canadians are expressing some surprise over the passage by the Senate at ‘Washing- ton of Senator Borah's bill author- izing United>States ships engaged in coastwise trade to pass toll-free through the Panama canal. . These ships have, of course, 2 monopoly of the carriage of goods from one United States port to another, but the Borah bill will discriminate against foreign ships in the overseas trade, it is de- clared. “A breach of contract” is the way that the Toronto Globe refers to this step. It says, “To escape canal tolls cargoes destined for Europe would be carrled in American bottoms to the Atlantic coast. where they would be transshipped. Similarly, shipments could be made from Atlantic ports to Asia, via California or Oregon. Freight that would otherwise go in British or Canadian carriers from a Canadian port on one coast to a Canadian or American port on the other coast, or from an American to a Canadian port, via the canal, will be diverted to American merchant- men. Treaty Violation Charged. “The Senate,” continues the Globe, “has acted in direct , violation of treaty obligations.” Then it recalls the provisions of various treaties dnd words from the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which while transferring all rights in_ownership and construction to the United States, but with a reservation as to tolls, says: “The canal shall be free and open to all vessels of commerce and war of all nations observing these rules, on terms of entire equality, so that there shall be no discrimination against any such nation or its citizens or subjects in respect of the conditions of charges of traffic or otherwise." “The framers of this clause, British and American, thought it meant what it said,” adds the Globe. “The dis- covery that ‘all nations’ should be in- terpreted ‘all nations except the States’ came in 1912, when the United States in the coasting trade were exempted from tolls. In 1914, at the instance of President Wilson, the tolls were reimposed as a matter of national honor. In the struggle in Congress he had the support of Messrs. Root, Lodge, Burton and other leading republicans. Declared Unfortunate Breach. ‘As tolls exemption became plank in the republican platform in. 1920, President Harding will un- doubtedly sign the Borah bill, which does not require the sanction of the House of Representatives. This breach of faith on the eve of the Washington disarmament conference will be doubly -aunfortunate. No for- mal protests have been made by any foreign country, but probably lead- ing maritime nations will ask that the treaty be submitted to an inter- national tribunal for interpretation. “The welght of reputable opinion in the United States is so overwhelm- ingly against the bill that the ad- ministration may welcome this course as a means of escape from a reproach intolerable to just men.
