eS ‘(8p BRITISH ENVOY 10 ‘WHITE HOUSE SOON Sir Auckland Geddes Notified by Colby to Hold. Himself in Readiness. * IRISH CAUSE TROUBLE. Agitation in This Country the Most Delicate Question in Relations With Britain. By David Lawrence. jal Correspondent of the Eve- ning World. WASHINGTON, April 27 (Copy- night, 1920)—President Wilson ex- pects to grant an audience to Sir Auckland Geddes, the new British Ambassador within a few days, The State Department has asked the ‘pritish envoy to hold himself in readiness for a visit to the White House, But Sir Auckland will find the task of discussing international affairs with the head of the American Goy- ermment practically as aiQeult as that of American Ambassadors who have been instructed to act as “ob- servers” at the coffncils of state abroad. For whichever way one turns provisions of the treaty of peace and League of Nations under which European Governments are now functioning stand in the way. ‘The whole structure of foreign af- fairs ts interwoven nowadays with the execution of the peace treaty which America signed but did not vatity. 'RISH QUESTION IS CAUSING MUCH TROUBLE. Bulking larger, however, than the indeterminate status of the peace treaty is the existence in the United States of an aggressive group of American citizens who are sponsor- ing the cafse of Irish independence. In analyzing the catises of the rift in America’s ranks over the peace treaty, Viscount Grey did not in his! iamous letter to the London Times feel it discreet to take Gognizance of what has been from the first an ac- ive opposition to the peace treaty, and especially to Article X., from the irish sympathizers. While no British envoy coming to the United States may formally take notice of It; the Iflsh independence movement in this country is unques- tionably in the minds of President Wilson and Secretary Colby as one of the most delicate questions affecting the relations between the British sm. pire and the Untted States. An authoritative outline of the British position as given the writer is therefore pertinent at this time While the Irish question has got into American politics, it is no less a disturbing factor in British politics, where the cry of all classes is to get something done immediately. Only to-day, for instance, comes a cuple- gram telling. af the speeoh of Lord + Robert Cecil in the House af Com- mons condemning the British Govern- ment for “vacillation” and warning against a cycle of anarchy that would Jead to an Irish republic.

As for independence, the present viewpoint of the British Cabin practically unanimous against an idea. Treland is too close t: land on trade rontes, too clos sneh ng. for . comfort sake in the event of a wat in which Ireland might afford sub- marine or aerial bases to an enemy The British Government is willing to * give the Irish people full control of their domestic affairs but is firmly resolved to keep control of Ireland's externa] affairs in the same way as it maintains jurisdictiog over the foreign concerns of all of its domin- ions, There is no untiue optimism in England that this plan of home rule will satisfy the Irish people at this time, but the a conviction that nd may ultimately rule as the ‘best that ined.

Nelson, twenty-four years old, a conductor, formerly @ sailor in the United States Navy, at his home, No. 1072 Teller Avenue, the Bronx, by De- tectives Frederick Ryan, John C.

The girl said the baby was taken from her immediately after Its birth last February, and that she was told it had died. According to the police Nelson and his wife, the girl ister, had been keeping the baby in their home as their own and were to have christened him soon as Vernon Irving Nelson, with the consent of the girl's parents. When Corine was told In the po- lice station last night that her baby was alive she was overjoyed and asked to see ‘him. ‘The police were attracted to the case by the receipt of « “poison pen” letter from. one of Nelson's neighbors to the effect that the Team Owners’ BRING ON STRKES BY WEAK STAND Team Owners’ Head \\sserts Flabby Attitude Menaces Trade of Port. ©.
