The Case of Ireland
By T. P. O'Connor

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Frank H. Simonds is so courteous
and sane a writer, and in your journal of
May 81 shows such an evident desire to be
fair and friendly to Ireland, and yet he so,
quite unconscously, overlooks essential
facts, that l hope you will permit me to
make a reply.
With much of the article 1 agree-that
this war on the part of the Allies is one
for freedom, and, therefore, that every
valid citizen of every freedom-loving coun-
try ought to be in the ranks of the fight
ing forces. l have said SO scores of times.
Indeed, l have preached The doctrine from
coast to coast in the United States that,
especially since the intervention of Amer
ica, every man in American and in Ireland
has but two alternatives: To be with Ger
many, or to be with America l have held
this position consistently in common with
Mr.. Redmond and with every member of
the Irish Parliamentary party from August
3, 1914, when Sir Edward Grey's speech,
virtually declaring war against Germany,
was followed by the speech of Mr.. Red
mond pledging Ireland's support to Eng
land and to her allies in the war. The Irish
people backed up that policy of Mr.. Red
mond by sending 175,000 men to the army
during the first years of the war. The
1rishmen of Great Britain simultaneously
sent 100000 men to the army and these
lrishmen were all volunteers. They joined
the army before conscription was enacted
in England
New-York tribune., 1918-05-23
Neither Fooled Nor BETRAYED

That is no mere contention of Irish Ma
tionalists. The recent Irish convention ap-
pointed committee of five members to re-
port to it on this question. The chairman
Of the committee was the Earl of Desart.
a Southern Unionist, while the other men,
bers were the Duke of Abercorn, an Ulster
Unionist; Captain Gwynn and Captain Do
ran, of the British Army, and another
Southern Unionist named Powell, who has
since been appointed by the Government
Solicitor General for Ireland-that is,
Minister for Justice under the existing
regime. That committee reported anani-
mously to the convention that before it
could be imposed on Ireland conscription
would first have to be submitted to an Irish
Parliament and approved by it. This re-
port was adopted by the whole convention
by vote of 81 to II. What case could be
more complete?
The demand of Ireland is that she should
be neither fooled nor betrayed any more.
She resents it. Mr.. Simonds asks that she
should send other tens of thousands of her
sons to die for freedom, in addition to the
tens of thousands that lie under the soil
of Gallpoli and of Flanders. in the fight
for freedom, without securing the freedom
of their own land suggest to Mr. Simonds
and the American people generally, who
have a right to give friendly counsel to
their ally, that when they utter remon-
strances they are sending men to the wrong
address. AS a nation, America has been
convinced for more than forty years that
Ireland ought to have Home Rule. Let
them convey to England that opinion and
ask her to act upon it. I can promise the
American people that if that counsel be
acted upon there will be no reason to COM
plain either of the number or the valor of
the soldiers of the Irish race at home who
will take their places by the side of the
soldiers of their race that are now cross
ing the seas from America to fight for the
freedom of the world.
Yours faithfully,
T. P. O'CONNOR.

Irish Consumption for ireland

Ireland says that if conscription is to be
the method it must be conscripton by an
Irish Parliament. That is point of ma
tonal honor which she cannot yield. Aus
tralia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa.
Newfoundland-all the lf-governing do
minions of the British Empire-have de-
cided the question of conscription for them
selves. The Imperial Parliament would not
dream for one moment of imposing it upon
them. Australia and South Africa have both
decided against conscrption Is there,
therefore, bitter anger aroused against
them? By no means. Their rights are not
even questioned
Now, the case of Ireland is similar to that
of the dominions. 1t may be said that thew
have their own Parliaments and Ireland has
not. The answer to that is that an act
OF the Imperial Parliament giving Ireland
self-government was signed by King George
and placed on the statute book of the realm
in September, 1914, but has meyer been put
into operation. The right Of self-govern.:
ment is still withheld from Ir%land. though
it has for nearly four years been the law
of the land.
An Irish Parliament must decide how the
soldiers are to De raised in Ireland, while
leaving their control under imperial au-
thOritV.

War Office Ineptitudes

l agree also that all the reasons for sup
porting the Allies became more potent when
America intervened in the war. l have
preached the doctrine that any man of any
race was bound the first moment America
entered into the conflict to give his full and
undivided allegiance to America, and that
this obligation imposed more clearly
and more strongly on the Irish than on any
other race because of the asylum, oppor-
tunity and freedom which America had
given to their race. If Ireland to-day has
lost her first enthusiasm in the war you
must seek the explanation not in wide
spread proGerman sympathies, or in the
theory that Ireland has suddenly turned
into nation of towards or slackers.
The explanation, unfortunately, is too
simple, and it has been given as emphati-
cally oy English as by Irish speakers and
writer's The explantion of this loss of en-
thusiasm has been given by Mr. Lloyd
George in what he called "the ineptitudes,
and even the malignities of the British War
Office" The explanation of "The Daily
Mail" is again "the folly of the War Of
fice." The explanation of Sir Mark Sykes,
M. P, brilliant young Tory, is that Ire
land had been "infamously and wofully
mshandled."
New-York tribune., 1918-05-23
A Question of Methods

could go on quoting, but this is enough
! will not go into the other cause.-the an.
pointment of Sir Edward Carson, fresh from
the rebellion of a small minority of the
Irish people in Ulster against a majority
of the people of Great Britain as we'll as
of Ireland, to the position of chief
guardian of the law of England;
the Curragh Camp mutiny of Cen
eral Cough and other soldiers the refusal
of commissions to Nationalists in d.
visions 9S per cent Nationalists; the delib-
crate omission by the militarists of mention
in the military dispatches of the Irish reg
iments that have died by the thousands. and
the other long chapter of ineptitudes and
malignities and shameful mishandline to
which Mr.. Lloyd George and Sir Mark
Sykes gave such eloquent denunciation.
When Mr.. Simonds asks Ireland to send
her sons, he forgets that that is not the
real question at issue. No Irish Nationalist
takes up the position that because Ireland
has already done much, she ought not
to do more. The sole question is as to the
methods to be employed in securing further
contributions of men from Ireland. Eng
land says the method must be conscrptior
by the British Parliament.

EASTER BALL
The Patriotic Easter Ball Was
Largely Attended and a Great
Succ eSS.

The patriotic Easter ball and
concert at the opera house Tuesday
night was one of the most success
full social events of the season.
a.Dunbar's novelty orchestra gave
a fine concert and furnished music
for the ball. This orchestra de-
livers the goods and is a favorite
among all lovers of high class
music.
The Ladies Guild of Christ church
sold ice cream and added a tidy
sum to their treasury. The net
proceeds of nearly $50 was give to
the local branch of the Red Cross.
All who attended have only words of
praise for the event and the young
people who made the arrangements
and had charge of the ball deserve
credit for it's success.
