Assembled to celebrate the an

lief hat Ireland is entitled to the
right Of INSTRUMENTATION.
Having given our sons and

We believe our great president
meant what he said when he de-
clared that mo nation must i'm

We believe the Irish people de-
sire a republican form of govern
ment where civil and religious
liberty would be guaranteed 10 all,
and where the rights of the
minority would be completely
safeguarded and protected. AS
American citizens we demand that
they be given the right Of self
determination. so that by major
ity vote they may establish such
a government.
We confidently urge our great
presidentas he goes TO the cOun-
Gil board Of nations TO insist on
Ireland's i~nalienable right, and
thus make good his promise for
America that all nations, great
and small. shall enjoy liberty and
independence.
