Recognition of lrish
Republic Impossible
Through Mason Bill
Ne\f> York Tribune
Washintfton Bttreau
WASHINGTON, Junc 2. Recogni?
tion of Dr. Patrick McCartan aa ac
credited envoy to the Unitod Statc^
of the Jrish Republic would not follow
passage of the Mason bill appropriat
ing $14,000 f6r an American minister
to Ireland.
Speculation on th?.^ po:nt was set at
..':-, by State Departmcnt officiais to
lay. Until an American' minister to
the lrish republic has been appointcd
by the President, following recognition
of the existence of a de facto govern
inent in that country, no representative
of the lrish Republic could be tocog
:>-:'.eii hy the l ritec! State-; government
The Mason mctsure follows the form
of resolution: introduced in the Houss
by P'ay and Webster, when the reccg
nilicn of the Republic of Buono"
Ayrec and of the Greek Republic was
tiesired. The sending of an envoy to a
ncw governmeni is not purely an ex
ecutive function, since the appointment
of the minister must be approved by
the Senate, and an appropriation for
the marntenance of a legation must be
rnade hy tIio House.
By the sanie token in an; provision
for -1 mini U r by the House is without
effeel until th< President makes a:i
appointment. Pa s.ige or the Mason
bii! would. however, make known to
the President the desire of Congress
and would h" calculated to hurry ac
tion by the Executive.
While the House. in the closing
days of the last session, passed a reso
iuticn expressing sympathy with the
aspirations of the lrish peonie, by a
tv/o-thirds majority, it is doubtful if
the sanie favorable action would be
taken on the Mason bill.
Filipinos Ask Full
Independenre From
Congress at Once
Memorial to Lawmakers
Says I^lawf? Can Condwt
Own Affairs and Preserve
Order: Plrdges Recalled
WASHINGTON, June 2.?The Phil
ippine Islands will app'.y for member
ship in the league of nations immedi
ately after receiving their independ
ence and will rcgard such membership
as sufficient protection from outside
aggression.
In making this statement to-day at
a joint nieeting oi' Senate and House
committees, Manuel Quezon, President
of the Philippine Senate and head of
the mission ser.t to this country to
urge independence, declarcd there was
no reason to fear at: attack by the
Japanese. The people of the islands
did not anticipate trouble from Japan,
he said. adding that while they could
not resist a powerful attack alone, now
or within ten years, they would be
able eventually to protect themselves
from all invasions.
"But cur plea for independence is
not dependent at this time," he said.
"on the leagu? of na'ions. We would
like to see it formed and we would like
to become part of it, with the full be
lief that we would be abie to work
out our own destiny."
Answering Senator Harding, Repub
lican. of Ohio. Mr. Quezon said the
Filipinos were ready to aceept inde?
pendence without any protection from
the United States. He thought, how?
ever. it would be of interest if the two
countries should have some sort of
an understanding.
"Would you advocate earnest con
sideration of this question," Senator
Harding asked, "while the world, and
especially the Senate, are engaged in
a discu3sion of the league of nations,
or wait until the league has been def
initrly disposed of?"
"from our standpoint we believe
now is the time," Mr. Quezon replied.

with the approval of the delegates of

may have said something which it

However, it. was indicated that after

Attaeks Entente Leaders
Calls Atlitude of Wilson
and Otliers Assuniption
of "Equality to GocP"
PARIS. June 2 'By The As
sociated Press i, The reply of the
Allied and asscciated governments to
the German counter proposals, the
"Echo de Paris" declares, will be
hunded to Count von Brockdorff-Rant
zau on Friday. It will constitute a re
fusal of the German proposals. The
Germans, the paper adds, will be told
they must either riccept or refuse the
Allied conditions befor" June 25.
The '?'>uncil of four discussed to-dav
the reply to the German counter
prcpo3als. The council will not meet
to-morrow, but President -Wilson will
confer with 'he American experts rep
resenting all the different commis
sioiis. who are working on the reply.
The attitude of the council appt'.ars
to be ahsoiute hostility by M. Clemen
ceau to any modifications in the tenns,
while Premier Lloyd (Jeorge is under
stood to favor concessions P.remier
Orlando is neutral, and President \v"i 1 -
son is declared to he inclined to leave
the decision to the British and Frcnch.
LONDON, June 'J. Count von Brock
dorff-Rpntr.au. asked whether he he
lieved the German cour.ter proposals
would lead to negotiations, aceording
to a Berlin dispatch to the Wireless
Press, said he had cured himself o\
the habit of believing in such things.
The chairman of < he German deiega
tion added:
"I will do what I think right and
await results. The French press be
gan the sanie of asking 'Will they
sign?' We, on our part, should re?
ply to-day with another question, 'Will
they negotiate?'
I.ittlc Prospect of I'nderstanding
"Aceording to an arteicle in the
'Temps' on Wednesday, our opponents
seem to assumc that the German coun?
ter proposals go beyond the limits
within which they want to grant us a
discussion. If this article interprets
the view of the enemy leaders ! hardly
see any prospect of an understanding."
Asked whether he considered un
bridgeablc the gulf between the Allied
demands and the German offers, the
count replied:
"This question itself is based on a
controversy of principlcs on which no
agreement can be reached. It is pos
sible to be of different opinion about
the rer.ources of Germany, but tbere
cxists no agreement about the question
whether this nation is to do penanco as
a criminal or to fulfil its obligations
as a party to the treaty.
Would Have Kept Fighting
"If in Octcbcr, 1018, an avowal of
its sins had been laid before the Ger?
man nation for its acceptance, instcad
of a preliminary treaty icgarding the
foundation of peace, it would have con
tinued to fight. At prcsent Germany
cannot fight any more, but she can stili
say no."
After declaring that if he were in
the position of President Wilson. Pre?
mier Glcmenceau or Premier Lloyd
George he would be afraid of "assum
ing an equality to God," Count von
Brockdorff-Rant~.au continued:
"At the moment when the moral
clcck of penal justice is removed from
the peace document it becomes bear
able for Germany to a certain extent
that we, as the vanquished, must make
sacrifices in power and goods. We
realize this, but we decline to agree,
like criminals, to our removal into a
second-class position among the na?
tions."
"There is in the draft an astonish
ing amount of mental work which
could be uscd advantageously if the
stipulations, which were formulated in
the most blunt one-sidedness, in favor
of our opponents, were to change to
a point of view which would corre
spond with a peace of justice. It is
true that such a work would possess
many bones of contention which would
have to be done away with in some
other manner, but the first condition
for the establishment of a peace of
understanding would have been ful
? lilled by it."

ARCHANGEL, June 1 (By The Asso

against the attempted coup in pro
claiming an indenendent Palatinate
republic.
It is also reported thai pro-German
Palatinatists at Mannheim declared a
general strike and that the inhabitants
of the Palatinate, notwithstanding
threats by the French of court martial,
everywhere are tearing down the pos
ters proclaiming the republic.
PARIS, June 2. -The Allied forces of
occupation will take no part in t'nc
movement for the establishment of s
Uhino republic, the "Journal" says
The Allied powers will observe an at
Litude of watchful waiting.
Coblenz will be the capital o
the new Rhine Republic, whicl
wns proclaimed yesterday in sev
era! Rhine citi^s. The new gov
ernment and National Assembly will
nieet there, but the provisional gov?
ernment will sit at Wiesbaden. Parts
of the proclamation have boen tele
graphed to the "Echo de Paris' from
Metz by Maurice Barres. One sig
niricant section follows:
"We declare the autonomous Rhen?
ish, Republic to be founded in the
bosom of Germany. It is a pacific
republic which is composed of th<
Rhenish province, old Nassau, Rhen
ish Hesse and the Palatinate.
The foundatioti rests on the follow

"Tbo frontiera will remain the same

"Chantres in frontiers can be mad?

"Elections for the Rhenish Na

delay, according to th<? methods of th:
German National Assembly.
"Coblenz is to be the capital of th<

The Provisional government will taki
the place of the Central governmen
and the Prussian, Bavarian and Hes
sian governments.
"Rhenish Hessian

"Palatinate Committee.
"June 1, 1919."
Another passage shows the move
ment not to be separatist, but anti
1'russian. It says:
"Violence from whatever side mus
disappeai. The Rhenish peoplo hon
estly and sincerely wishes peace basei
O'. a reconciliation of all people.-. Tha
is why it separates itself from the in
stitutions which ar< the bases of s>

It thereby eliminates an obstacb

Wilson Delays Omsk

i By
PARIS, Jui
Press i, Until Roland
A m e r i c a n A m ba s sa d o r
reaches Omsk from Tok
e Associated
Morris,
to Japan,|
io, it seems
improbable that further steps toward
extending recognition to the Kolchak
government will he sanctioned by
President Wilson. as he is anxious to
have ;? report from Mr. Morris after
he has fully discussed the situation
with the Kolchaak Cabinet and has in
vestigated conditicns ai Omsk.
Because of s'ov, communications over
th< Trans-Siberian route, it is proba
ble that it will be another week before
Mr. Morris reaches Omsk.
While it is generally believed that
Admirable Kolchak will accept the ma
jority of the conditions under which
the Entente nations and the United '
States offer recognition. it is likely the
Omsk government will seek modifica
tions of the section providing for Rus
sia'~ recognition of the Baltic, Trans
Caspian, and Trans-Caucasian govern
ments as autonomous and stipulating
that any differenc.es which may arise
between them and the Kolchak govern?
ment shall be referred to the league of
nations. The Russian Commission in
Paris, which is supporting Admiral
Kolchak, holds this section to he preju
: dicial to a reunited Russia, for which
a struggle is beir.g made. The Trans
i Caspian sections contain Russja's chief
cotton and petroleum supplies, and the
[ provisional governments there are
j largely creations of the British army,
it is said. Consequently, their recogni
, tion as autonomous would. in the opin?
ion of Russians, make Turkestan and
; Tran.s-Caucasia virtually British zones
of influcnce.
A. F. Kerensky, the former Russian
Premier, and his sympathizers in Paris
; are strongly opposing the extension of
| recognition io Admiral Kolchak on th
ground, chiefiy, that they believe hi
j to be monarchial and have no faith i
the pledges he may make to ;'
' Entente.
