Views Are Divergent. The hard fight in the committec. which resulted m a report by a vote ©f 11 to 7, is regarded as clear index ©f the divergent views Two distinct groups arc understood to be opposed to the Reid bill—one because of its elimination of the long- standing precedent of contribution by the valley States to the cost and the ther because the measure does not extend aid to the tributaries and other ‘! streams of the country. especially in the construction of reservoirs which eould be jointly used for flood control and irrigation and power development Western States Interested. The Representatives holding to the principle of loc: contributions are mainly Repubiicans from the East and Middle Western States. The propo- nents of more specific control of the other streams of the country include ® number of members from the semi- arid Western States. The Reid bill s understood to have been explained thoroughly to Presi dent Coolidge by its author in confer- ences at the White House, but it has pot received any expression of views from the Chief Executive. “The bill's supporters claim a full and unbroken alignment of House Demo- — Ancient Traditions.

Singe. who had been writing mediocre articles in Fng- lish magazines, went into the west of Ireland. studied the language and tradi- tions of the people and surprised us all when he came back as a great. original poet.” Agricultural Co-operatives. Another step. he said, was the or- ganization of the Irish agricultural co- operatives under the leadership of Sir Horace Plunkett, in which he himself took a considerable part. Next came the national labor movement, which attempted to combine the rural and urban masses of people. “Treland,” he said, “was heavy with a dream. The condition was similar to that which came oves Europe during the renaissance. Then I beean to hear of volunteers—young men who wanted to gain independence by force of arms. I thought little of it. Young men for a century had talked of fighting and nothing had happened. I do not *hink anything would have happened had it not been for the World War, a few sparks of which fell in Ireland.” ition which followed k outbreak. Mr. Russell s | present. If the northern counties had been included in the South Ireland , state, he said. it would have been nec- cssary for the latter to submit to vari- ous compromises to secure harmony, which would haye hindered seriously the growth of a purely Irish culture, ‘upon which the success of the Free State depends. The culture of South Ireland, he <aid, is essentially Catholic and Gael- ic, that of Ulster essentially Protestant and English. The two cannot be mixed by force, and if one dominates over the other it will be by its essential supe- 'riority. Ulster. he believed, eventuall . would come to Southern Ireland of it own free will. consclous of the bettet opportunitics afforded it to obtain a cultural place in the sun by throwing its lot with the developing culture of a new nation A Fundamental Friendship. “There is," he said, “a fundamental friendship_between the two sections which is far decper than those issues that lead to discord.” ! He contended that the Irish Free | State is showing the world a remark- able example of honest government and | economic revival, due to the fortunate circumstance that some of the leaders of the revolution happened to be men of splendid administrative ability. ‘This is a condition, he said, which rarely has been met with in the world's his- tory.
