Ireland's president and not detail
has been omitted, every American citi
zen, regardless of racial descent, of
creed, of color, tried to do his little
bit to make the meetings successful.
In the next issue of the Irish Stan
dard complete rapport of President
De Valera's visit will be given, and
as the paper goes to press Friday
morning, it will not be distributed in
time to reach all the readers, but as
the mass meetings have been largely
heralded by the daily press The Irish
STANDARD is satisfied that the meet
ings will more than fulfill our greatest
expectations. President De Valera
will find that he is among loving
friends who will look upon him as
their spokesman before the bar of
justice. Our citizens of the Northwest
will have an opportunity of hearing
from his own lips the story of Ire
lands wrongs and her hopes. His visit
to the Twin Cities will stand out in
our annals as red letter day ever
to be treasured in the memory among
things that remain sweet and fresh.

1910 it was less than four and half.
The first and most imperative con-
cern of the republic of Ireland, there
fore, is to establish direct business
and trade relations with other nations,
so that Irish initiative and enterprise
and not British aims and interests
will determine her industrial life and
activity.
Realizing this, the Dali Eireann has
voted Bond-C Certificate issue, to be
distributed in various countries;
wherever the SONS Of Ireland have
gone before. The portion of this is
sue assigned to America is ten mil
lions Of dollars. and the American
Commission on Irish independence, at
the special request of President De
Valera made to Chairman Frank p.
Walsh, has undertaken to place this
amount.
The organization for this purpose
is in process Of rapid formation. and

American Commission
On lIreland's Liberty

New York, Oct, II, 1919.-For CEN
turies now, British financiers have con-
trolled the banks, the railroads, the
mines, the mills, the commerce, the
shipping and the trade Of Ireland.
They would loan no money and give
no help or encouragement to any
Irish enterprise they did not approve.
They would approve no enterprise cal
culated to make Ireland more prosper
GUS, for the less prosperous she was
the more she had to depend on Great
Britain. They approved none calcu-
lated to support the population of Ire
land, for the less populous she was
the easier was she held in subsection
by Great Britain. They would ap-
prove none calculated to bring Ire
land into contact with other nations,
for the more isolated she was the
harder it was for other nations to
learn the wrongs she suffered and the
more completely was she at the mer-
cy of Great Britain.
The veto of the British f1nanciers
extended to the whole economic life
of the Irish people, and held back as
with an iron hand all their trade and
industry. For example: 1t costs more
to distribute Irish products within Ire
land, than to import the same class Of
products from England. 1t costs more
to ship Irish products from Ireland to
France, than to ship the same class of
products from the continent to Amer
lea. The foreign trade of Ireland, al
though it is greater than that of Nor
way or Sweden, is strictly a British
monopoly, exploited with the twofold
object of furnishing profit to British
|tradesmen and keeping the Irish a sub
ject people. Ireland is forced to buy
from British capitalists at their own
price. She is forced to sell to them
at their own price. The difference be-
tween the cost of Irish produce and
the price at which she must sell, has
been determined not by supply and
demand, not by bargaining and trade,
not by Irish interests or justice or
right or humanity, but by the arbi-
trary and selfish dictum of the British
financiers. And it is on that differ
ence that the Irish have had to live,
starve or emigrate.
Here .is the whole grim tragedy
briefly told: In 1910 the population
of Ireland was over eight millions; in

IRISH CONSUL TO
AMERICA APPOINTED

DAHL E1REANN, functioning in the
name of the Irish Republic, recently
decreed the establishment of Con-
sular Service with representatives at
all the important trade centers thru
out the world.
The first Irish Consul appointed by
the new Republic to the United States
is DR.. J. L. Fawsitt, Secretary to the
Cork Industrial Development Associa-
tion. Mr.. Fawsitt arrived in this coun-
try few weeks back, and has opened
the Offices of the Irish Consulate at
Suite 404, in the Stewart Building,
260 Broadway, New York City.
The principal object Of the new Con-
sulate is to promote closer trade rela-
tions between America and Ireland.
Mr.. Fawsitt comes we'll fitted to un-
dertake this important work. For up
wards of twenty years he has been
a close student of Irish economic af-
fairs, has labored increasingly to ar
rest the decay that threatened to sap
the vitals of his nation, and has
preached and practised the gospel Of
self-re1iant Ireland, drawing the
essentials for her national sustenance
from inside her own borders. As Sec
retary to the Cork Industrial Develop
ment Association he pioneered the
modern Industrial. Revival movement
throughout ireland, and this work
brought him into direct contact with
the captains of industry in all parts
Of the country.
Mr.. Fawsitt, who has travelled ex-
tensively in distant lands, has been in
America on a former occasion, when
he made a special study of American
Industrial methods. To an inter-
viewer Mr.. Fawsitt stated that the ex-
tent and value of Irish external trade
is not generally known, nor is it ap-
preciated by large exporting houses
outside of England. The value of Ire
lands external trade in 1917 was esti-
mated at more than $1,200,00O,OO0.
Practically all of this trade was car
ried in English shipping, and passed
to and from Ireland, mainly, through
British ports Whilst the value Of Irish
exports exceeds that of Irish imports,
the latter trade is of large proportion,
and in 1917 was valued at 100000, 900.
This trade consisted, in the main, of
manufactured products and certain
raw materials essential for Irish needs.
Over ninety per cent of this trade was
supplied by English houses.
Continuing, Mr.. Fawsitt said that
Irish sentiment favors direct trading
with foreign countries, principally with
France and America. Irish consumers
will gladly buy American products It
they are offered on the Irish markets.
This important trade is well worthy Of
serious attention by American export
ing firms. Mr.. Fawsitt signifed his
readiness to meet and discuss this
proposition with American firms in
terested in the European trade, and
the services of the Consulate are at
the disposal of American houses who
wish to enter the Irish market, and
The Irish standard., 1919-10-18

of importers in this country who de-
sire to draw supplies from Ireland.
1t is the wish of the Irish nation that
American houses should be directly
represented in Ireland, and the Con-
sulate will gladly recommend the
names of firms and individuals in Ire
land desirous of accepting agencies
from American firms.
