Arthur Griffith, the Sim Fem leader
and editor of Nationality, has written
the following letter to DR.. Patrick Nc
Cartan:
My dear DR.. McCartan:
When the people of the United
States were struggling to overthrow
on their soil that English tyranny
which still maintains itself in Ireland,
they sent through their Congress an
address to the Irish people in which
they said:
wrong. You had ever been friendly
to the rights of mankind, and we ac-
knowledge with pleasure and gratitude
that your Nation has produced patriots
who have nobly distinguished them
selves in the cause of humanity in
America. We are desirous of posses
sing the good opinion of the virtuous
and humane, we are peculiarly desir-
Gus Of furnishing you with the true
state of our motives and objects the
better to enable you to judge of our
conduct with accuracy and determine
the merits of the controversy with
impartiality and precision"
Today it is Ireland's turn to address
the United States. The English Gov
ernment uses it's strength to prevent
our voices reaching the ear of Amer
lea. 1t has it's manifold agencies to
misrepresent our claim and defame
our patriotism. 1t depicts Ireland as
poor country largely dependent upon
England's bounty, as country riven
by political and sectarian feuds and
it represents itself as allowing to the
Irish people the right of deciding their
own form of government, while it pre-.
tends that the Irish cannot agree on
the matter.
If the American people will refer
back to their own history, to that

Washington and used as their pass.

Beauty" they will find that the Eng.
lish then misrepresented the Amer,

| represent now the Irish to the Amer
leans. Ireland is not poor country;
! Ireland is rich country, a country
against whose manufacturing and
! commercial enterprise England EN-
| acted and carried out code of penal
laws unparalleled in the history OF
civilization. Let America know that

ment of home rule, either he stands to
make compromise between Ireland
and Ulster, in which case he can as
sure Mr.. Wilson that Ireland is safe
for democracy, or else if Ulster re-
jects that compromise the world will
realize that the Irish cannot agree
among themselves, and that, as the
minority is privileged and different
race in the eyes of the law, the ma.
jority are unreasonable in insisting
on what are purely theoretical rights
in time of such stress.
In way Lloyd George has turned
the tables on Ireland. For two years
Ireland has been hammering at Eng.
lands gates for her rights and now
England with heavier hand still is
calling for England's rights due from
Ireland. For three years Ireland has
been challenging England in courts
of American public opinion and now
Lloyd George seizes the opportunity
of crisis involving British and
American arms to challenge Ireland
in the same courts. His speech was
not altogether madman's speech,
but it was certainly gamblers
throw.
Warns Against Premature Opinion.
The first thing to be urged in
America is calm and watchful wait
ing. The game is being played on a
board the other side and we must al.
low several delicate moves to be
played before shaking the board with
the impetus of American opinion. Do
not shake the board! Do not rock
the boat.
The Irish standard., 1918-04-27

To those who have worked and
hoped on this side of the Atlantic for
an Irish settlement, who have upheld
Sir Horace Plunkett's efforts and have
assured the 1rish-Americans that the
convention represented the British
sense of fair play and justice, the
manner of the final report has caused
great uneasiness.
1t has been timed to be born in the
hour of military catastrophe in
France, unless Lloyd Georges Celtic
temperament was exaggerating the
situation, and it is to be Graded in
conscription. For the purposes of the
British Government it would have
been wiser. to have said nothing about
the convention, which we have under
stood or tried to understand was a
boon. 1t loses all its savor when it is
suddenly snatched and tossed as a sop
or bait to people who are to enjoy
conscription by another people as
preliminary to the self-determinatio
which nobody in the world can ap-
parently hope for until after the war
In serving simultaneous notice of
Home Rule and conscription on the
Irish people Lloyd George reminds
one of the young Irish doctor who
hoped to see St. Vitus dance cured
by broken leg!
Lloyd Georges Dilemma.
But to be fair to Ireland we must
also be fair to Lloyd George. We
cannot as yet estimate the desperate
position in which he found himself,
and human beings will admit that a
human politician could not have done
otherwise, unless he were a Lincoln
or a Wilson. He Jumped together all
his difficulties and threw them into
the maelstrom on the chance of fish
ing something therefrom. He is bound
to gain something by his bold stroke.
Either he will impose conscription on
The Irish standard., 1918-04-27

in Ireland when England gained the
power it was made treason for an
lrishman to own a ship, felony for the
Irish to export their goods, and a
punishable crime for the Irish to con-
time the manufacture of their staple
industries. Let the American people
know that England by law prohibited
the Irish from cultivating so much
as even five in every hundred acres
of the soil. Let them know that Eng
land crushed by force Irish manufac
turing industries, Irish commerce,
Irish agriculture, and having done
these things assured the world that
Ireland was a poor country mainly
dependent on her benevolence.
Today England is wringing thirty
million pounds sterling annually out
of Ireland, sum greater than the
revenue of Sweden or Holland or any
of the free smaller nations of Europe
Today England governs in Ireland by
martial law and brands our aspiration
for independence as sedition. Today
Ireland has but four millions of peo
pie in a country meant to sustain

Many important phases of the war

that there is $6,O00,O0O in the treas

as arranged, is carried out, it means
that between this date and July /, 1919,
$28,000,000 will be spent.
The paramount topic for discussion
was the question of entertainment for
the fighting men. This was taken up
because of the recent plea from Sec
retary Baker and General Pershing
for more amusement in the battle
zones occupied by American troops.
James K. Hackett, actor, who has been
devoting all his time to developing this
branch of the organizations work, pre-
sented a program which met with ap-
proval and was adopted.
To Feature Soldier Talent.
This plan is to pay particular at
tention to the forms of amusement,
leaving the work of teaching to the
Y. M. c. A., so that the activities OF
the respective organizations will not
overlap. It is proposed to develop the
latent talent among the soldiers them
selves and give minstrel shows, bur
lesques, boxing and other athletic
events the preference. Men especially
able in these branches are being sent
to France as rapidly as accommoda'
tions can be obtained.

ON MATTER BY MAY is
The 1918 Meeting Has Been called
for San Francisco
In July.
The Right of National Board to Change
Arrangement Is Questioned - Only
Grave Emergency Would Justify
Such Action.

San Francisco, Cal, April 13.-The
Hibernians of California have made
most elaborate arrangements to greet
the delegates to the Hibernian Nation
al Convention which is to take place
here in July. Over $4,000 has been
raised so far by the local Hibernian
committee to help entertain the big
convention, which was set for San
Francisco by the delegates to the last
national convention in Boston.
The national officers, or rather some
of them, had misgivings about holding
convention this year owing to the
war and the railroad conditions, and
the national board on the suggestion
OF the President, Mr.. Mclaughlin, took
up the subject at their recent meeting
in Washington, ID. G. From all over
the country there were protests against
abandoning the convention or taking
it away from San Francisco, and so
strong was the protest that the ma
tional board changed it's idea. The
national director of railroads as we'll
as officials of the United States who
were communicated with replied that
the Government had no objection
whatever to the holding of the conven-
tion in San Francisco this year. The
railroads have made special low rates
to the Golden Gate city.
In view Of the protests and the let
ters received from the railroads and
Government officials the national board
decided that they would not be JUS
titled in calling off the convention, the
point being made that under the con-
stitution they had no right to do so in
any event. Finally it was decided to
call a referendum on the matter refer

nOLue, MARCH IL, 1918.
The day after a short Editorial
Note" on the German chancellor's
statement appeard in it, the following
important article was printed in the
"Osservatore Romano:
"The whole press is discussing-and
with reason-the new statement Of the
German chancellor, with comments on
each part Of it. We propose to COM
plete the hurried comment which we
printed yesterday, treating particularly
of the part concerning Belgium, SO
close to the heart of the Holy Father.
First, the chancellor repeats what
has been said so often before, that
Germany is not thinking of keeping
Belgium. That is something, but it
would have been much better for the
peace of mind of the civilized world
if the chancellor had said that Ger
many was disposed to restore Belgium
in it's full political, military and eco
nomic independence, in accordance
with the Holy Fathers words of Au-
gust 1. Indeed, the phrase does not
think of keeping Belgium lends itself
to restrictions which may not perhaps
be in the mind of the present director
of the foreign policy of the empire and
which for the rest would certainly not
be accepted by public opinion.
"Also in another place the statement
of the chancellor is not in agreement
with the Pontifical appeal in a sense
which we may call negative. To the
general rule proposing reciprocal con-
donation of war damages and expenses
the Holy Father applied restriction:
If in certain cases there exist special
reasons, let them be weighed with JUS
tice and equity This restriction GER
