Dry St. Patrick’s Day Issue Brings | Deadlock in Dail | ed Press . December question of whether St. Patrick's day shall be wet or dry has caused a deadlock in the Dail Eireann and the Free State Senate over the government’s compromise liquor bill. The Senate yesterday persist- ed in its decision to insist on the reingertlon in the bill of a pro- vision making St. Patrick’s day dry. This provision had been struck out by the Da Lord Maye, in discussing the question said: “There is no use blinking our eves at the fact that many get blind drunk on St. Pat- rick's day he Senate is not empowered to change the measure. but its action probably will have the legal effect of holding up the bill nine months, thus permitting St. Patrick's day next vear to be as moist as usual. Meanwhile temperance is beco ing an active and political issue, reformers insisting on a popular referendum on the liquor bill. DAWES PLAN HELD DANGER TO NATION 13 —The [Garvin Says It Rebuilds Frankenstein That Caused World War. : By the Associated Press.

Garvin, former alien prop- erty custodian and now president of the Chemical Foundation, said yes- terday before the Synthetic Organic Chemical . Manufacturers’ Associa- tion. Mr. Garvin said he recognized this was.“an_ill hour" for criticism of the iplan, yet he dld not agree with it, for it “is bringing back into the| world the same conditions without| any guarantee of control of them {Which brought about the World War.” “Upon' the men who brought about acceptance of this plan rests respon- sibility that its working be not abused-and turned to the destruction of the interests of this country,” the speaker continued. He a sserted that German dye in- terests had come to America, en- couraged by the Dawes plan, and had borrowed “millions upon millions of American dollars.” These interests have organized in. Wall Street a_huge fund “to corrupt and break down the great progress that has been made in the American chemioal industry,” sald Mr.'Garvin. Mr. Garvin asserted that .the Ger- man interests would not invest a dol- lar of their own money in American plants purchased. American .dollars would be_used, he sajd, to_ throttle the American chemical industry. “A.man who listens to their argu- ments is a fraitor to the people who have supported this industry and to the American flag,” continued Mr. Garyin.. “Every Industry of -ours s an .arsenal and the introduction of foreign control over any of the ar- senals of America is treason, gnd i8. treason to the great end and cau: of all’ our liyes, treason to our chil- dren andour’childre; children. | terday by Secre | 1ation and congressional committee to draw opyright by Underwood & Underwood C.
