OUR CRITICISMS JUSTIFIED.

We may be pardoned if we refer the that the
of events has amply justified denuncation of
certain individuals and publications purporng to
sent the Of Ireland and the Catholic Church for
their treacherous and nsidious activities We have
peatedy pointed that these reasonable
would be publicly imputed to the church and whose
they pretend to espouse And such has the
fact The great Catholic body has been aroused the
danger; and the overwhelming majority of the genuine
friends of Ireland has found it advisable make public
protest against the propaganda of these
dents. Referring to them recent meeting in New
York, Dr. Joseph Brennan president of the IishAmeri
can League, administers this wel-merited' rebuke:
The few individuals scattered throughout this country
who serving their selfish interests trying
fos their warped ideas upon people will per-
mted to cast cloud of suspicion a people whose
loyalty stands out of counrys history
We to postery to the Irish who served the United
States in the trying days of the republic and to the Irish
men who have offered their lives in this crisis that we
tear away the green emblem from who would dis
honor it. They not Irshmen. Ireland dsown
who attempted to gain her iota through
honor Dsoyalty to allegiance, dishonor
and confidence foreign to the true Irish heart"

from the food control bill a senate

are understood to be ready to make n
determined fight against the provision,
which was voted into the hill near the
close OF the long senate debate. The
house leaders also are planning to op-
pose vigorously the senate's provision
for a food control board OF three men,
bers instead OF one administrator and
there are many indications that in
this. likewise they will have the pres

Mr.. Wilson wrote to Representative
Lever in response to a letter promis.

after brief debate. Briefly il would
create committee of five senators
and five representatives to ascertain
just how contracts were being let and
money spent in the conduct Of the
war and to report to congress when
ever 1t SO desired.
The president and the executive de-
partments under the provision would
be compelled TO keep said committee
