Dublin City Council Calls Attention to
Flaarant Injustice Of Brit

The members of the city council Of
Dublin have passed a resolution call
ing the attention of "the free nations
Of the world to the following facts:
~From the nation of Ireland nearly
q hundred leaders of national public
opinion have been taken and cast In
to prison without charges being pre-
ferred against them and without be-
ing given an opportunity of explain
ing their position to Ireland and to
the world.
"These men and women have been
deported from Ireland and are not al
lowed to see relatives, friends or bust
ness representatives. Even their cor
respondence is unduly delayed and in
terfered with by British censors, all
entailing suffering and hardship on
families and dependents, in addition
to the suffering of the prisoners
themselves.
'1n the eyes of Ireland, these lead
ers have been cast into Jail by the
enemies of our nation for demanding
freedom for their native land and for
claiming that to her no less than to
Belgium and Serbia, shall the right
of self-determination apply"
The Lord Mayor, in moving the res.
olution, said the English government
is not only an enemy of Ireland, but
of England also. Its action" he
went on, "in arresting, deporting and
interping in English jails so many OF
our countrymen and women, without
any trial, without even any charge
being preferred against them consti
tutes one of the greatest breaches to
ward the liberty of the subject which
any government could be guilty of;
a blot which no amount Of palave1
with foreign powers will erase; an
act which goes. to the very roor OF
justice and fair play"
Bishop Fogarty of Killaloe and Tim
othy M. Healy, M. p, have written
letters supporting the resolution.

PRESIDENT G0MP[RS
And Ireland 'S!CAS[

The English Labor Congress at its
closing session passed by acclamation
a resolution offered by Manchester
delegate asking the government to
grant immediate self-government to
Ireland in accordance with the pro-
gram Of President Wilson for all small
nations. The passing of the resolu-
'tion was marked by remarkable DEM
onstration of approval.
The American labor delegates, Mr..
Gompers and William J. Browen, the
president of the International Brick
layers Union, cut an important figure
in the congress which took up these
important matters, as we'll as consid-
GRAFTON Of the terms of peace.
Discussing the Irish question, Mr..
GOmpers said that personally he had
always been in favor of Home Rule
for Ireland, and that the great mass
of the American people felt the same
way. He felt that if the English gov
ernment had kept it's pledge to give
Home Rule to Ireland there would
have been none of the trouble that
occurred in that country and that Ire
land would have unanimously lined
up with "the cause of the free ma
tions."
Mr.. Bowen, following Mr.. Gompers.
said that no one in America could
understands why Ireland was not as
much entitled to self-determination as
any of the other small nations that
had been talked about. The American
people regarded Ireland as historic
and we'll defined nation entitled to
declare by majority vote of her peo-
pie what kind of government she de-
sires. If England did not settle the
question now by giving the right of
self-determination, the question would
ultimately be settled after the war
when the nations got around the peace
conference table, and the opinion of
the world would settle it right.

IRELAND'S FUTURE

He Will Not Satisfy In Any Degree
the Aspirations Of the Majority
of the Irish People.
In letter published last week ad-
dressed to Bonar Law, Premier Lloyd
George said:
II can support no settlement which
would impose a forcible coercion Of
Ulster. Eighteen months ago the Gov
ernment made alternative proposals
for a settlement of the Irish problem.
It offered either to bring home rule
into immediate. effect, while excluding
the six northern counties of Ulster
from its operations, but setting up at
the same time a joint council which
would be empowered to extend legis-
lation of an Irish Parliament to VI
ster, or to set up convention of rep
resentative Irishmen to endeavor to
find settlement for themselves.
"The second alternative was adopt
ed, but unfortunately after nearly a
year of earnest deliberations the con
vention found themselves unable to
arrive at anything like an agreement
'In these circumstances l claim the
right to bring settlement into effect
based on the first of these alternatives
I recognize, however, that in the pres.
ent condition of Ireland such an at.
tempt could not succeed, and that it
must be postponed until the condition
of Ireland makes it possible"
