"Cabbage is the vegetable that

is even greater. Stated in terms of
percentages, the reduction during the

MANY IRISHMEN
WANT NEWVilTE
Some Sinn Feiners Favor
Accepting the Home Rule
Act
DUBLIN, Feb. 9.—There is a great
weight'of general sentiment through-
out the country in favor of any set-
tlement whichevill end the present
chaos. Irish Catholic bishops are
fox-em, not exam that mm an. en-
couraging dds sentiment.
Between the most moderate and the
most extreme Nationalists there is
this point of agreement. that the de-
cision of the Irish people themselves
must be supreme. Submission‘ of
their attitude to the electors and the
endorsement of that attitude by the
country's voters is the basis on which
Sinn Felners rest their case They
say that endorsement must stand.
There is a,conalderable section of
the populace. however. who believe
the time has arrived for a fresh con-
sultation of the people—that a. new
opportunity should be given forex-
pression of the popular will. The sug-
gestion is made that a formal refer-
endum should be taken as to whether
the people still‘ adhere to the uncom-
promising Republican policy, or are
willin gto give the new Home Rule
act a trial.
Sir Edward Carson. for Ulster. has
accepted. but Sinn Fein‘ refused the
Act. In neither case have the people
themselves been consulted as to what
they think of it.
There is even among Sinn Feiners
a number who believe that it would
be good tactics to accept the act as far
as it goes. secure the election of
Sinn Feiners to the Southern parlia-
ment and obtain as much control of
the Irish government as possible in
the same way as they have obtained
control of most. of the local authori—
ties. They would then use their new
position as the basis for a fresh ad-
vanee.
The argument is heard that de Val—
era and Arthur Griffith could do more
for the cause in executive office than
in jail. but that is not the dominant
Sinn Fein \iew—at any rate among
the "responsible" leaders of the
movement. Hence the suggestion to
consult the rank and file.
