 OCeallaigh also urged President Will son to support the claim to freedom which the Irish representatives wish to lay before the conference.
 Referring to the memorial in which he had recited the claims of the Irish republic to right to join the league of nations as an independent state, MT. OCeallaigh wrote to the President:

------------s~s--- MINE SWEEPING
 IS COSTLY JOB

London, April S.-Sweeping up the thousands of mines which strew the seas in the neghborhood Of the British Isles has proved such costly and dangerous job when carried on by the ordinary methods, that the admiralty has turned to the airship for relief. Experiments conducted in the North sea, it is an nounced, have been successful, mines being located and exploded much quicker than when the usual mine-sweeping ship is used
 While the airship has the advantage of height in locating mines. the mere fact that an airship cannot hit a mine adds so much to the element of safety that it is expected that much of the 5000 square miles of mine-strewn waters which remain will be cleared without loss of life.
