“HAMPER UR ~ONIRSHAFFARS mericans on the Commission to Have No Difficulty Over Passports. By David Lawrence. Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, Noy. 27 (Copy- right,-1920)—-The committee of five Americans, who plan to investigate vonditiona in Ireland, will have no diPloulty about their passports. The Britieh Government has determined lo take no official cognizance of the natter and the British Embassy here ia treating the request for the “vise” \t approval of passports in much same way es it would treat the PY PMuest of any American citizens. txPe¥imilarly the Department of State nil {esue passports to the committee o the same routine way that pass- ports are given to any Americans ' wbo want to go tg Great Britain on pleasure or business. ‘There has been yome talk In the last fow:days that the Department of State might de- tine (o Issue passports on the ground that the visit of the cominis- tion might be regarded as an Inter- ‘erence in the politics of another vountty, Dut the commission is 4 private affair and ‘its request for passports does not differ from that }f five newspapermen ot any other ‘oup of individuals who want to te about conditions in another jouritry . | The Department of State will not be febponsible for thy reports or utter- ences of the commission any more than \t ts for the writings of Ameri- tan correspondents, resident in Ire- and ot anywhere else in Europe. BRITAIN HAS RIGHT TO OBJECT IF SHE WISHES. Of course it was within the right of (he British Government to pefuse ap- proval to the passports of the com- wlwsion. Frequently during the war {.e United States Government would ssue passports, but the French or British Governments Would refuse to upprove them and the would-be pas- vengers were turned back at the steamers by the officers of the ship because none of the steamship com- panies would accept passengers who did not have their passports approved in advance by thé consular or diplo- ynatic representatives in the United Mtates of the country of destination. The British Government might have efused to approve the passports of the investigating commission with- out necessarily giving any reasons, out such @ step St was felt would only aggravate Irish-Americans in this country and add fhel to the ames. On the other hand even with those who have no particular preju- lices on the Irish question, refusal »f passports might have created the ‘mpresston of an unwillingness to let the outside world know the truth «bout happenings in Ireland. So ‘the British Government determined to ¢ no incident cut of the request ‘or passports and to let the commit- ee go its way. The attitude of the British officials sere 1s probably an index of the pos!- tion that will be adopted when the American commission reaches Ire- and. Every opportunity will be given the commission to make its own investigdtion unhindered by the British Government. MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION SAY THEY ARE IMPARTIAL. The members of the commission are insistent that they approach the question {mpartially. at Major Oliver P. Newman, who was n the artillery in the A. E. F, was President of the Board of Commis- sloners of the District of Columbia under President Wilson, and before that was prominent newspaper writer and investigator, His ancestry is English on both stdes. Rey. Norman Thomas of New York s a Presbyterian clergyman. Dur- ng the war he was prominently dentified with the efforts of a group which championed the cause of the conscientious objector. He is a grad- vate of Princeton University, and while one brother was detained in camp as @ conscientious objector an- other who had volunteered on the out- break of the war saw service as a eombatant officer in France. James Maurer, President of the Pennsylvania State Federation of (Labor, 1s a radical labor leader and a conspicuous opponent of Samuel jompers, His passport was reyoked ; year ago When he contemplated vis- {ng Engiand and European coun- tries to make @ study of labor con- iitions, and it was generally believed the action was a consequence of come yf his inflammatory utterances gainst President Wilson and the American Government. Arthur Gleason, a New York wri- who has recently spent much time in England studying the Labor Party, and Dean Robert Morse Lov- tt, head of the English department vf the University of Chicago, are the other members of the commission. LOVETT A MEMBER OF THE PACIFIST GROUP, Dean Lovett was one of the pacifist group and was frequontly criticised during the war for his att! le ta: ward ft. On the other hand, he took no part in any effort to obstruct war aperations and his owm son volt teered and yes killed in action in “EBS epectas somatttes of ive was FIRST AMERCAN “TREATIES FILE | . Sweden Presents Text of Two Cotiventions With the United States. GENEVA, Noy. 27 (Associated Prees.)—The first American treaties to be filed with (he League of Nations were put officially on record to-day when Sweden presented the text of two agreements with the Unived States. The first of these, signed Oct. 18 last, is in the form of a proclamation by President Wilson extegding the Copyright Law of 1909 as appited be- tween Sweden and the United States The second treaty cancels Articles XI. and XU, of the Consular Conven- tion between Sweden and the United States, making them terminate March 18, 1921. The treaty was signed fune 18, last, {Under Article 18 of the Cove- nant of tho League of Nations, all entries must be filed with the Secretariat of the League before they can become effective.! The arrival of the first American treaties, although they are minor ones, was Gn occasion of consider- able interest among the League members and officials. A total of fifty-one treaties and agreements have so far been filed with the League by the various members. Of these fifteen w filed by Great Britain, eleven by Switzerland, and fifteen by other na- tions which filed one convention each. Germany, although not member, has yoluntarily Mled nine treaties, two of which were with Soviet Russia Optimists at the meeting of the As- sembly of the League are count upon finishing the work of the ses- sion next week—ten days eariler than was calculated by League officials. re Committees No. One and No. Two have virtually finished their work The International Court Ys out of the way and the armaments question has been disposed of by a practical ad- Journment. The principle relative to the admission of new members has also been decided upon. Some apprehension is felt in some quarters that the discussions in full assembly, which will be resumed on Tuesday, especially those on the ques- tion regarding the relations of the League Council and Assembly wil! | be prolonged. k delegates are now furnishing the only opposition to the admission of Austria to the League Switzerland is strongly advocatin: admission, with the proviso that if reaction. occurs in Austria with restoration of the monarchy, she will | insist upon the right of the province | of Voralberg to decide whether to| remain a part of Austria or not.| Voralberg recently requested that it be attached to Switzerland, but this request was rejected by the latter country, Committee No. 4, which has been examining the accounts of League, finally has approved comparatively high salari personnel of the recretar the high cost of living in Geneva jus: titled them, in part, while the ex- penses of each worker in ‘reaching his native country should also be taken {nto account.
