IRISHPARLIAMENT | INJONT SESSION Lengthy Legislative Program Outlined—King’s Message Applauded. By e As=ociated Press, DUBLIN, December 13.—The two Nouses of the Irish parliament met esterday in joint session, at which «iuvernor General Healy outlined the ‘gislative program prepared by the abinet of the Irish Free State. The iovernor general also read a message i had received from King George. The legislative program was more « stensive t had been anticipated. it covered the subject of the electoral ise, reform of the judicial sys- | m, regulari: £ the eivil police and ‘he national army, compensation for . and the questions of land ¢, patent laws and copyright. interest attached to the iromise of a bill. in pursuance of the vledge given by Michael Collins, <ranting amnesty to the members of he British forces engaged in military +perations prior to the truce. Sit During Reading. Prof. Michael speaker nfl siie dail, or chamber of deputies, presided over the joint meeting, Gm,-.l «isneral Healy stocd beside the ~peaker to deliver his address, but hefore beginning the pronouncement i~ read in impressive tones the mes- ~age he had received from the king. Contrary to the practice in the Brit- <h parliament, the members re- ‘ialned reated while the message “rom the throne was read, but this tas assumed to be due to the fact at the message was a personal one ‘0_the governor general. The entire embly applauded at “he conclusion of the governmental Adress. It was noted as a remarkable fact that no member of the labor party n either house attended the joint ossion. Later, when the senate and “he governor general had retired, the Jjabor members appeared. Tom Johnson, the labor leader. epl plained the absence of the labor members from the session at which the governor general's address was ead as being due to a desire to avold anything in the nature of a scene. The labor members thought something might arise to provoke a protest and belleved it would be more tactful to stay away. The precautions _against disorder customary to the dall sessions were further strengthened for the proceed- ings. No visitors were admitted and 1he credentials of all who approached ihe place of assemblage on business ere carefully scrutinized. The sen- te, when it went into session after 1e jolnt meeting excluded the press. Thanks for the governor general's address and approval of the meas- res were moved by the members, ho took occasion to assure the gov- «rnment that the rank and file of the 1iembership Yould support all the overnment's Mmeasures for repression £ the irregulars’ campaign. The dail then adjourned. Lord Glenavy, formerly Sir James ‘ampbell, was elected chalrman of the i“ree State senate. Lord Glenav “ormerly the Irish lord chancell in war da¥s was a warm support the Ulster policy. was note by Great Britain, is now said to have been acclaimed prematurely. Prime Minister Bonar Law admitted as much in the house of commons, and from other sources, it is learned that the haste on the part of the continental press to consider Lord Balfour's utter- ance as a thing of the past is unwar- rant It is stated that Mr. Bonar Law. in talking _with the other allied premi-rs, onls indicated that Lord Balfour's prin- ciple (refusal to_consi ny remis- sion of the war debts) could be super- seded, as Great Britain's contribution to a general European settlement of the war debts and reparations questions, { but with a definite gain for Britain in view and not merely because she wished to be generous. Expect Sacrifices. The British policy is said to be centered on re-establishment of trade and commerce, stabilization of ex- changes and bringing to an end the almost continuous allied conferences and disputes over reparations and war debts. The pessimists believe that such stabilization of Europe’s economic life womwd not be realized tarough Brit- ain's cancellation of the debts due her if at the same time the French were permitted to carry out coercive méasures to obtain their indemnity from Germany. According to the official view, the Brm;h are willing to make great sacrifices, but the other allles must crifice =ome of their interests. Great Britain sees an ulti- ain through the policy of can- cellation, it is stated, the government could not carry out such a program, for the British taxpayers would rebel at having to shoulder the debts with- out benefit. VETERANS' BUREAU T0 DISMISS FIFTY Cut in Local Force Will Go Into Effect This Friday. Fifty employes of the Veterans’ Bu- reau central office will be dismissed Friday, according to the program of a 6 per cent reduction in the per- sonnel of the bureau throughout the country, it was announced today by H. W. Longfellow, chief of personnel. ‘The second and by far the largest cut will be made, Mr. Longfellow an- nounced, on December 31. The exact number who will lose their positions in the central office here on Decem- ber 31 had not been made public. Neither was it announced where the cut will be made throughout the country on the 5 per cent program. Col. Charles R. Forbes, director of the bureau. himself yesterday an- nounced, following a conference with President Harding at the White House, that in making effective the 5 per cent cut, which was first announced two weeks ago, roughly, 1,200 em- ployes throughout the country would be dismissed by the first of the year. He estimated about 300, according to present prospects, would be dismissed from the central office. | Efforts are being made to help the | dismissed employes to find new posi. tions, Mr. Longfellow announced, say- ing that these efforts on the part of the bureau had-alreadyv been largely successful in placing such persons, - e .
