UN-AMERICANISMS IN THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS

Here is a brief list of astounding facts in
regard to Englands un-Amercan League of Ma
tons:
The proposed League Of Nations would be a
league to perpetuate the slavery OF small nations
now subject" (wrongly) to empires, to autocracies
and to the larger nations.
1t would be a league for the protection of those
Who take because. they have the power
And keep because they can.
1t would be league for the perpetual protection
OF the slave-making, robber nations in their rob-
berries, and for the perpetual oppression of the
robbed and enslaved nations
1t would be league to ''blcss' and "sanctify"
robbery, loot, plumber, spoils of war; murder and
all other GnternationaD crimes committed, or to
be committed, by the nations i'll the 'league.''
1t would be league to perpetuate the ascend
ancy OF favored minorities over "disfavored' or
undesirable ma jorties, such .as the ascendancy
OF the Orange minority the enormous majority
of the people in Ireland
1t would be a league for the perpetual denial of
iself-deternination and freedom to the weak dis
armed nations held in political slavery by the
armed nations in the league.
1t could be made-and doubtless would be made
a quasi-international mercenary organization of
world policemen whose principal duty would be
to keep in state of permanent disarmament and
unpreparedness the small subject nations rightly
struggling to be Free
In practice, if not in theory, the leagues "assem-
decisions of the league council would be reviewed
and England with it's six votes in the assembly
would have the United States and all tho American
policies and ideals at 6-to1 disadvantage in the
final voting-the United States having only one
vote in the assembly, vote that England could
consider negligible.
| The proposed League of Nations is simply new
autocracy. 1t is not even cloaked in one tattered
rag of the discarded Wilsonian, 14-pointed World
Democracy 1t is "greater than the senate or gov
ernment (of the United States)," President Wilson
tells us. But our President has not hazarded the
guess that the proposed League is greater than the
British Empire"

THE ONLY ENGLISH-SPEAKING RACE IN
SLAVERY

"Some wonder," said Senator Walsh in his men,
orabe address in the United States Senate "at the
intensity of feeling the part of the people of
America of Irish blood to the application of
the principle of sel-determination to the land Of
their forbears What, think you, must be the feel
ing OF disappointment and of sadness experienced
by the hundreds of thousands of American soldier
boys Of Celtic blood justly proud of their work in
llberatng the enslaved peoples of Europe when
they hear still voice in the depths of their hearts
saying, L have helped to bring independence and
freedom to many enslaved peoples l have helped
to remove the shackles of political oppression from
many races, but the race from which have sprung
is still left the only English-speaking race in the
world today in political subjection' Indeed may
lie not also add, Can it be that my governments
which l have had the honor to serve in liberating
ether races, is negotiating, unconscousy, per-
haps, to make it difficult for nv kindred in
Europe to obtain their long hoped and prayed for
freedom?'
"What think you must be the thought of Ameri-
can parents of Celtic blood, whose sons bodies lie
in Flanders Field when they learn that their su-
preme sacrifice helped to bring independence and
freedom to many races and peoples of whose exist
ence they had never known, whilst the Empire
with whose soldiers their sons fought side by side
continues to deny their kindred across the sea the
same measure of independence America and her
allies have bestowed upon the races who were our
enemies in this war?
Words cannot express the depths of anxiety
of these people when they contemplate the possi-
bility of this country-this country, which well
coined their exiled forefathers and gave them their
first realization of equality of opportunity and en-
joyment of liberty they fed from tyranny and
has been their ancient enemy in covenant which
they believe may result in crushing out future
and opportunities of obtaining freedom for the land
of their ancestors

WILL HENRY FORD SUCCEED?

1t is interesting to read that Henry Ford is con-
sidering running line of steamers from the United
States direct to Cork where he is building an auto
mobile factory. But wait until Mr.. Ford runs up
against the commerce-throttling measures of the
British Government. The way that the English
powers do business is finely illustrated in the case
OF the American steamer Lake Gretna, which made
direct trip to Dublin about two weeks ago. The
American press hailed this trip as the beginning OF
new era for Irish industry. But, on September
IS, Floyd Gibbons, the noted correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune smashed the beautiful bubble in
cable from Dublin He quoted correspondence
proving that British commercial interests charged
Irish consumers of goods the Lake Gretna ex-
actly the same rates for goods sent via England.
Port dues at Liverpool master porterage at Liver
pool, carriage at Liverpool and charges equivalent
to freightage between Liverpool and Dublin were
assessed, despite the fact that the American cargo
had never gone into Liverpool. In other words, an
effort to eliminate the extortionate charges made
by the English upon the Irish people by forcing
importation" through Great Britain was fruitess.
In the of the Lake Gretna cargo, Dublin manu-
facturers were told to pay the price go without

MR.. LANSING AND THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS

In his examination before the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate, an interesting portion of
the evidence of William Bullitt member OF the
American secretariat at Paris pertains to Mr. Lam
sing and his views. Mr.. Bullet stated that in one
of their conversations Mr. Lansing said. Il con-
slider the League of Nations at present is entirely
us useless: The great Powers have simply gone ahead
and France in particular have got out of the treaty
everything that they wanted, and the League Of
ations can do nothing to alter any of the unjust
clauses of the treaty except by unanimous consent of
the members of the league, and the great Powers
will never give their consent to changes in the inter
possibility of ratification by the Senate Mr.. Lam
sing said I believe that if the Senate could only
understand what this treaty MEANS and if the Amer
can people could really understand. it would un-
questonably be defeated but l wonder if they will
ever understand what it lets them in for He
expressed the opinion that Mr. Knox would prob
ably really understand the treaty and that Mr. Lodge
would; but that Mr.. Lodges position would become
purely political, and therefore ineffective. He
thought that Mr.. Knox might instruct America in
the real meaning of it,"

For one thing, England opposes
Irish freedom by the plea that she
needs Ireland for her own protection.
TO begin with, that is an immoral rea-
son, for it disregards Ireland's rights
in the matter. It is the logic Germany
would have applied to Belgium. Also
it is unsound logic. England does not
need Ireland for her own protection.
Ireland could be maintained in depend
ence without menacing England as Bel
gium Is, by the agreement of nations.
THE real reason why England wants
Ireland is to maintain it's supremacy
OF the sea, the same as it wants Glib.

wants the Falkland islands. Ireland,
with its strategic position at the gate
of the Atlantic ocean, overlooking 80

her command of the seas.

Radisson.
League Opposition Urged.

League OPPoSltion urged.
In the evening, preliminary speakers
linked the cause of Irish freedom with
the defeat of the present league of ma
tions plan. The Rev. jeremiah Har
rington, the first speaker introduced. by
J. L. Lynch, who acted as toastmaster
at the banquet, urged his hearers to
petition their senators in Congress not
to vote for the adoption of the plan
without an amendment which would
assure self-determination to Ireland
The Rev. Philip Gordon, native Chip
pe.wa Indian, who accompanied the de
Valera party from Reserve, Wis, fol-
lowed this thought by announcing that
one of his first acts on returning home
would be to write Senator Lenroot, OF
his state, on the matter. Women OF
the Irish race in the United States
were urged to use their influence to
the same end by Mrs. McWhorter, OF
Chicago, national president of the
Women's Auxiliary of the Ancient Or
der or H1Der1ans.
President de Valera was called the
"Leonidas of the Irish race" by the
Rev. R. R. Cunningham, who sounded
the spirit of thankfulness that the
cause Of Irish freedom should have
progressed so far that men and women
Of America should at last be given the
opportunity to greet the president ode
jure'' Of the Irish republic, and of hope
fulness that the time was at hand when
they should have the opportunity to
greet the recognized president in fact
Harry P. Boland, member of the
Irish parliament, was the speaker just
preceding Mr.. de Valera. "The Spirit
of Irish Nationalism" was his topic
and he asked all of Irish blood to re-
joice with him that the spirit has been
kept alive since the days of Tome and
Emmett.
ireland is at last free in spirit" he
declared. 1--WE will never bow to the
oppressor. AS long as there are Irish
men, women and children, they will
fight for Ireland. We Irish owe allegi
ance to but one country and that coun
try is Ireland"
president Of Irish Repubiic."
Mr.. de Valera was the last speaker
introduced. He was introduced fatty
as ''the president of the Irish repub
lie" and Immediately announced his
right to the title, unqualified by the
term provisional" "Not even King
Albert of Belgium" he said, has as
good right to rule in his country as
we have to rule in Ireland. We were
elected by plebiscite Of four-ffths Of
the Irish people. I'll bet King George
couldn't be elected by such vote al
i president of Great Britain"
The speaker then turned to the ques
tion Of Irish freedom, exhorting hil
listeners to study the modern history
of Ireland, to post themselves thor
oughly on the merits Of the question
and be prepared to answer tho ques
lions put to them BY the opponents o1
