mm ON FLOOD
BILL TO BE PUSHED
Reed Plans to Seek Speedy

Proponents of complete Federal pay
ment of the Mississippi Valley flood
.control were mustering today to bring
Hbout a speedv consideration of the
s?eid 54T3.000.000 bill which has been
'fcubmitted to the House by its flood
tontrol committee
Action on the measure will be pressed
tin the House floor within three or
four weeks. Chairman Reid of the com
mittee arid author of the bill tndica'ed
today But meanwhile supporters of
the measure admit there is a great
deal of dissension among the House
membership to iron out before it can
be passed.
Views Are Divergent.
The hard fight in the committee,
which resulted in a report by a vote
©f 11 to 7, is regarded as clear index
es the dhergent '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
other because the measure does not
extend aid to the tributaries and other
stream* of the country, especially in
the construction of reservoirs which
rould be iointlv used for flood control
and irrigation and power development
Western States Interested.
The Representatives holding to the
principle of local contributions are
tnainlv Republicans from the East and
Middle Western States. The propo
nents of more specific control of the
other streams of the countin’ include
a number of members from the semi
•rid Western States.
The Reid bill is understood to have
been explained thoroughly to Presi
dent Cooiidge by its author in confer
ences at the White House, but it has
not received any expression of views
from the Chief Executive.
The bill's supporters claim a full and
unbroken alignment of House Demo-

SEEDS OF RECENT IRISH REVOLT
HELD CULTURAL BY NATIVE POET
!
—
! George Russell Says Struc
ture Rests on Revival of
Ancient Traditions.
;
I
Likens Condition to Renais
sance Period in Lecture at
i
Catholic University.
The seeds of the successful Irish rev
olution which followed the World War
were essentially cultural. George Rus
sell. eminent Irish poet, told an audi
ence at Catholic University Thursday
night.
Mr Russell, better known bv his pc*,
name of pointed out that the struc
ture of the present Irish nation rested
upon the ancient and revived cultur*
of the people, which began to become
a vital force toward the end of the
last century.
Spreads to .Masses.
j At that time. Mr. Russell said, it be
came obvious that a change was com
ing over Ireland, which was due to the
work of the poets and scholars in re
viving the old Gaelic traditions. Tin*
change worked at first among the lead
ers, but soon began to affect the mass
of the people. An important step in
this change, the poet said, was t!v'
Anglo-Irish literary movement, in
which the younger Irish writers turned
away from English literature as a
source of inspiration and went back to
the literary tradition of ancient Ire
land
• Yeats as a young man." he 'aid,
"started as an imitator of Shelley.
Then, under the influence of the new
movement, he changed and Ireland be
gan to realize that in this young man
crats behind it. They also indicate
that through amendments on the floor
to include the other streams in a na
tional flood plan and by strengthen
ing the proposal for the future con
struction of reservoirs, adherents of ?lv-
Republican side front both the New
England. Middle Western and Far-West
ern States will be obtained to assure
the measure s passage.
THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, P. C„ FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 17. 1023.

GEORGE RUSSELL,
there was a national poet who was no j
longer an imitator but an equal of
Shelley or Coleridge. Singe, who had
been writing mediocre articles in Eng
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- j
ganization of the Irish agricultural co
operatives under the leadership of Sir
Horace Plunkett, in which he himself
took a considerable part. Next tame
the national labor movement, which
attempted to combine the rural and j
urban masses of people.
"Ireland." he said, "was heavy with I
a dream. The condition was similar
to that which came over Europe during
the renaissance. Then I brean 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 Ido not ‘Pink j
anything would have happened had it
not been for the World War, a few
sparks of which fell in Ireland."
The execution which followed the
Easter week outbreak. Mr. Russell said.
Rave a {treat impetus to the move
ment. Before the actual revolt, he
said, the men who took part in it had
been looked upon as dreamers and
laughed at.
“Nobodv could laugh at them any
longer." he said. "They became mar
tyrs and symbols."
Division of Ulster Good.
The division or Ulster from the Irish
! Free State, the poet said, probably is ft
good thing for both sections for the
; present.. If the northern counties had
been Included in the South Ireland
, state, he said, it would have been nec
essary for the latter to submit to vai 1-
ous compromises to secure harmony,
which would haye hindered seriously
1 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
1 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, eventually
would come to Southern Ireland of its
own free will, conscious of the bettei
opportunities 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 j
which is far deeper than those Issues
that lead to discord."
He contended that the Irish Free,
State is showing the world a remark- j
able example of honest government and j
economic revival, due to the fortunate
rircumstancc 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 worlds his
tory.
