Dublin. March Cardinal Logue,
in q pastoral letter just issued, says
that as any one of ordinary foresight
might have anticipated, ireland is not
likely to reap much good from the
labor peace conference.
The country is now distracted, and
there is no prospect of immediate
improvement, he declares; the gov
eminent policy always has shown
neglect of every remonstrance by re-
fusal or evasion of every just claim
and violation of every promise until
the people are goaded into wild
course and then comes stern repres-
sion.
The cardinal advises the people to
bear the present drastic military code
in a Christian spirit and not to eX-
pose themselves recklessly to severe
punishment by needless assemblies OF
other practices, remembering that
turmoil and discord never promote a
good cause.
