THE FINAL STEPS
The Daily has traced the events in
Ireland up to the point of the sharp
division between the North and the
South when each stood upon their
fancied rights and balked the settle-
ment which every one had hoped for.
Southern Ireland, basing her position
upon the treaty of 1921 which created
her the Free State, claims the unden-
iable right of a boundary dispute.
England, in response to the demand
appointed a commission, headed by
Mr. Justic Feetham of South Africa to
consider the troublous question. It is
now apparent that England looked
upon it only as a commission which
would attempt, to adjust some dis-
puted points in the boundary between
the Free State and the North, while,
the Free State apparently h'oped to
gain Armanagh and Tyoone, and as
much else as they .could. Northern
Ireland refused to appoint a com-
missioner, basing her refusal upon
the point that she was not a party to
the treaty of 1921, having voted her-
self out of the union. When appealed
to, the Judicial committee of the privy
council decided that Ulster was not
bound.
However, the government deter-
mined to carry their point, and a bill
was drawn un which was intended to
give the government power to appoint
a commissioner for the North. The
fate of the bill is unknown. It passed
the house of commons, coming up for
its second reading on 30 September.
The Dail Eiranan, the Irish parlia-
ment, passed it a few days ago. The
bill was however , stopped in the
House of Lords by the prorogation of
parliament, pending the coming elec-
tion.
This is a very brief account of some
of the phases of the Irish Boundary
dispute which threatens England at
this time, and over which they are
seething in the throes of general elec-
tion. The final outcome of the mat-
ter of course depends upon the new
parliament. Labor will of course sup-
port the act of their first ministry in
handling the situation, but it is doubt-
ful if labor will find itself in a posi-
tion to carry out any of their ambi-
tious program. The liberals seem about
at the point of dissolving the partner-?
ship with the laborites, and threaten
to seek glory in their own right. With-
out the help of the cohorts of Lloyd
George and Asquith, the Irish bill
will probably slip out of the reluctant
fingers of the labor minister, to be
tabled for some time.
The result then is problematical. At
any cost though, union of some sort
should be sought between the two
rival factions. As it was pointed out
yesterday, to legalize a complete sep-
aration of the two countries will mean
the putting off of a definite solution
for many years.

ly formulated by former Secretary
Root, who may properly and proudly
be called its father. The Republican
platform promises it, the Republican
administration has worked for it and
the Senate Committee of Foreign Rela-

extent to which the administration is
warranted by the laws of the United

must be remembered that there is a

THE LEAGUE NOT AN ISSUE
(Continued from Page One.)
"(a) That the past four years have
resulted in stagnation in the foreign
policy of the United States, retarda-
tion in the process of world economic
recovery, and a growing distrust of
the United States in foreign countries,"
(b) that the United States should join
the League of Nations and the World
Court, and (c) that the "only way to
bring the United States into the
League within a reasonable time is. .
through the election of John W. Davis
as President."
"(a) In the calling of the Washing-
ton Conference, in the bold and rama-
tic proposals for the cessation of com-
petitive naval armaments, and for the
acceptance of the several agreements
of that Conference, by which the Pa-
cific Ocean has ceased to be an area
dangerous to the peace of the world,
the Secretary of State, Mr. Charles E.
Hughes was the master mind, the
guiding spirit, and the tireless work-
er. From the point of view of actual
constructive contribution to the peace
of the world, involving problems fac-
ing world powers, the work of the
Washington Conference is the most
important during the four years com-
plained of. A policy which has pro-
duced such results can not justly be
called "stagnant."

TIE NEW COMEDY CLUB MEMBERS
The following persons have been
elected to membership in Comedy
Club after three odd days of tryouts
in Newberry Hall with more than a
hundred people making application
for membership:
Phyllis Lawton, '23; Vera John-
stone,'23; William Bromine, '27;-
I Marion Miller, '25; Paul Vickers,
Grad; John Elliot, '26; Mary Lou
Miller, '26; Arthur Bowman, '23;
Eumilda Williams, '26; and Mr. Cook
whose first name and numeral are
at present unknown.
While these ten persons were ex-
ceptionally talented, there were three,
four, or five times that number show-
ing all but equal promise, and the
final selection at best becomes a lot-
tery. Very sincerely, it is the desire
of Comedy Cluh°that those who fail-
ed to gain admission this' fall will
give the present members another op-
portunity next spring to judge again
their ability under more favorable
circumstances.

"(c) The statement of the Signers
that by the election of Mr. Davis the
only way is provided for joining the
League goes farther than either the.
Democratic platform or the utter-
ances of Mr. Davis himself. The plat-
form promises an advisory referendum
on the question. Thus in opposition to
the efforts of Mr. Newton D. Baker,
and no doubt mindful of the events of
1920, the Democratic convention vot-
ed down, by over two to one, Mr. Bak-
er's resolution for . a clear cut ad-
vocacy of the League, and the entrance
of the United States into it. Mr. Davis
stands upon his platform-he is in
favor of joining the League when the
American people signify their desire
to join it. So do we all. So does Sen-
ator Jim Reed of Missouri, who says
that upon such a declaration he can
stand upon the Democratic platform
and support Mr. Davis.
"The fact is, that when the Demo.
cratic party in convention assembled
defeated Mr. Baker's resolution and
substituted the phantom referendum
it effectually made the League of Na-

campaign. It is a closed incident be-

"MEET THE WIFE"
It is strange and unique enough for
Ann Arbor nowdays, with the present
road conditions of the theater, to re-
ceive any professional attractions,
whatever and when a really clever
production- such as Lynn Starling's
"Meet the Wife," which is to play at
the Whitney theater Monday night,
arrives, it deserves the very best en-
couragement possible. This comedy
was- truly-the outstanding satirical
success in New York last year, where
it coralled capacity houses for a full
season at the KlIaw theater.
