and we base our appeal, first, on the
generosity of the American Admins
tration in all things affecting Wo-
mems lives and welfare, and secondly,
on your recognition, many times ex-
tended of the justice of 1reland's de-
mand for political freedom
For many lamentable generations
the Women of Ireland have had to
bring up their Children in a country
in a perpetual state of economic and
political disarray consequent on its
being governed in the interest of an
other country. Your Declaration con-
corning war settlement which has
called into being and endowed with
hope the spirit of Democracy in every
country, has made us feel that new
era is opening for us. Our appeal
now is to remind you of a cause which
should not be overlooked when so
many European Nationalities are to
be reconstructed in accordance with
your Declaration. Our country, hav.
ing behind it twenty generations of
repression has, we believe, profound
claim upon those who have declared
their will to make the world safe for
Democracy. We appeal to you to
recognize the political independence
of Ireland in the form of an Irish
Republic.
And encouraged by the knowledge
that the States of Wyoming, Colorado,
Utah, Idaho, Washington, California,
Arizona, Kansas, Nevada, Montana,
Oregon and New York have granted
full suffrage to their women, we feel
that your generous sympathy will be
extended to the women of our country
in our demand before the world for the
recognition of an Irish Republic vir-
tually in existence since April, 1916
the only Republic which from its in
auguration was prepared to give wo-
men their full place in the Councils
of their Nation.
