A. Smiddy, Minister of the Irish Free State to the United States, in the sec- ond address of the Norman Wait Har- ris Memorial Foundation's fourth In- sUtute at the University of Chicago, the series this season being devoted to problems of the British Empire. The more political freedom Is an established fact, he said, and the more the absolute equality of statue of the Irish Free State with that of Great Britain and of her other do- minions manifests itself in the order- ing of its own affairs, the greater wll be the moral bonds which bind asso- ciates In the British Commonwealth of Nations. 8elf-Detsrm!n«tIon. Of relations to the British Bmplre, Mr. Smiddy stated, "We have co- operation and no coercion and the bonds which bind the various nations are bonds which are intangible. And, â- o. far as the Irish Free State is con- cerned, whether these symbols signi- fying our membership in an associa- tion of free nations are bands which attach or bonds which chafe Is to be determiued by future experience; and since tbo establishment of the Anglo- Irish treaty we have been free to work out our national life in our way without hindrance itrom any outside source whatever." At this point the speaker digressed from bis manuscript to remark that the Irish Free State and Great Bri- tain hare both adhered to the latter and the motive of the "bargain." Facts and figures were presented to show that Ireland and England are Interdependent economically; In fact, "more so than any other two coun- tries on the faco of the earth." He rihowed that 93 per cent, of exports of tlie Irish Free State are to Great Biitain and northern Ireland, and 85 per cent, of the Imports o£ the Irish Free State are from Great Britain. Possibility of a substantial and im- mediate increase in exports of the Free State to Great Britain are great and the government of the Free State has devised methods and afTocted legislatio(i by which this trade can be increased in a short time both in quantity and quality, he said. "If one of the tests of self-govern- ment Is ability to insure stability and to lay the foundations for an econo- mic and cultural development that will create for the average citizen the opportunities for a full life, th« people of the Irish Free- State have already, during the last five years, amply justlSed their claims to be al- lowed to govern themselves," Mr. Smiddy asserted, and he reported numerous progressive steps to sub- stantiate his claim. Grading Improves Market Values. The fruits of freedom are already manifest, he said, and he described A Maligned Leader General Sir Frederick Maurice, K.C.M.(}., la the London Contempor- ary evlew: (A reply to Mr. Winston Churchill).

In the castlea of the Middle Ages it was the most important single possession, and oa Its broad surfaces were worked out most wonderful patterns, with a de- votion to art dlfflcult to understand tit' a people whose lives were filled with the action of primitive lirlng. Chests seem to have been a part of man's equipment since the beginning of time, but each age and country had Its own particular type. TUey were at first made as the savage fashions his canoe, by hollow- ing a log. Then came the rectangu- lar box with a Ud. often beauUfully carved, and the gilded Italian marri- age coffer, most elaborate and ex- quisite of al such pieces. Primarily, the chest was made foU use as a receptacle, but often il served as a seat at table: and doubt- less mauy a retainer has lain down on one, thankful for its services as a bed. In 1500 It would have been a seri^ ous breach of etiquette to sit on a chair in the royal presence, but per* fectly proper to sit on a chest or cof- fer. Chests crossed to the Amoricaa continent with the colonists, and when the use of cUnlrs became com- mon, chests were raised upuu trest^ les, and soon drawers wore intro- duced, a type which ultimately be- came the bureau. The materials of these old chests vary, naturally, although the better ones remaining are of oak. mahcgany or treakwood. Soma are fitted w Ith drawers, some open with doora. ;'onio by means of a lid, as was the case originally.

An agricultural credit organization Is about to be established with an ob- ject ot cheapening the price of the farmers' raw material by purchase at wholesale prices, producing a better article, and through co-operative mar- keting and reduction of transporta- tion costs obtaining a better price, Mr. Smiddy announced.
