Captain Shawe-Taylor Here in Aid of Land
Purchase Bill.

Captain Shawe-Taylor. whose efforts to effect a
satisfactory settlement of tho landlord and tenant
problern in Ireland have attracted considerable at
tention arrived here on the Ivernia yesterday. He
is a member of the Land Conference Committee
which convened in Dublin on January g. He comes
here to sound the Irsh-American sentiment In re-
gard the Irish Land Purchase bill. to be intro
duced in Parliament next March by Charles Wynd-
ham Under Secretary for Ireland
Captain Shawe-Taylor said that while his father,
Walter Shawe-Taylor, owned seven thousand acres
IN Abraham, County Galway. he personally did
not own a foot of land. This enabled him to get
a hearing from both landlord and tenant. The
recent conference was the first of its kind in Ire
land he declared, and had he not had some success
previously in reconciling conflicting interests in
regard to the excise laws in Ireland he thought he
could not have obtained hearing. He secre
tary of the conference,
Speaking CT the new Land bill. he said:
We want the government to assist in the pur-
chasing of the land for the tenants. 1t Is to be
to get the money at the lowest interest Some
tenants paying rental of f5 or more a
year If our bill is sanctioned by Parliament. the
tenant will pay about ii a year, ana after a time
will become the owner OF his farm
Not alone viii the tenant be benefited. but the
landlord who is now socially ostracised and boy
cotted will then be safe. and free from annoyance
for there will be no longer any cause for trouble.
/ have come to this country to talk matters over
to many of your public men, among them Presi-
dent Roosevelt, w Bourke Cochran and Cardinal
If this matter is properly handled it means new
and contented Ireland. believe that those who
are now eXpatriates, whether they are prosperous
or not, will then go back to the old country.
