A DIscoNCERTING PARALLEL.
President Wilson's Address and Premier
Clemenceau's Statement on Peace.

London, Dec 81. Morning newspapers
give great and equal prominence to the
speech Of Premier Clemenceau before the
French Chamber Of Deputies and Presi-
dent Wilson's address at Manchester BY
their headlines by placing in juxtaposi-
tion the striking passages and by their
comment the newspapers reveal a certain
uneasiness in consequence of the appsr-
ent divergence between NJ CIemenceau
and Mr. Wilson.
There is an obvious endeayor, however,
to avoid anything suggesting the exist
ence of substantial disagreement, or
promoting anxiety regarding The confer
ence. Their desire seems mainly to show
that M Clemenceaus standpoint is not
so remote from Mr.. Wilson's as might
appear at first sight ard that any differ
ences that exist ought TO be arranged
with painstaking care,

IRELAND AND WORLD LIBERTY

America has been a friend of Ire
land and has supported its aspiration
to self-government. Americas love
of liberty prompted her to sympathize
with Ireland This world war is for
the very liberty which Ireland has
sought in its long struggle for self
government, but she must remember
that this war is for liberty of the
world and not for Ireland alone.
Irish liberty is bound up with
American liberty in this war and Ire
land cannot have liberty if America
loses it. Americans of Irish stock
must help the Irish people to see the
justice and equality Of cOnscriptiOn To
raise armies that will defeat the COM
mon foe.
Russia tried to use democracy sell
fishly and personally and each indi-
vidual Interpreted democratic free
dom as boon peculiar to himself; the
result was very undemocratic Ireland
must learn that freedom can never
be secure in any country unless free
countries act together and put down
autocracy; otherwise Ireland will be
as far from freedom as Russia is from
democracy.
Autocracy must not be permitted to
attack democratic nations singly;
that is why world democracy is fight
ing in coalition. America is as mucf
concerned in driving Germany out of
France as she would be in driving Ger
many out of New York. Together,
free nations will win this war; sepa-
rately they could not but fail. The
vastness of Gcrmany's preparations
for military conquests is a challenge
that no free nation, alone, can accept.
If Ireland wants liberty as much as
America wants her to have it, she must
find her place in this war. That is
her only hope of liberty.
If Ireland looks to America for aid
and comfort in the name Of human
liberty, America will answer; America |
has answered the call of human liber- /
ty. Ireland must realize that Irish /.
liberty is but part of world liberty /
and must not ask for aid and comfort |
which cannot be given for Allied ma
ttions.
