Another member, in telling of the
effect of the speeches of the mem
bers on the President, said Justice
Con. as he faced the President,
looked like "the incarnate spirit of
Ireland with the weight of $50
years OF Ireland's suffering on his
shoulders" According to this In
formant, President Wilson acted as
IL he had been shot between the
eyes, when Justice Cor calmly
asked him If he would put before
the Peace Conference the question
OF self-determination of ireland.
There seemed to be a unanimfty of
opinion between members of the
committee as to why President Will
son took the action he did against
Justice Cohalan. The statement
made to President Wilson at the
meeting that there would be no
peace until Ireland is free" caused
much speculation. II was inter
preted by many as meaning that
the Irish in this country would be
asked to engage in periods of mill
itancy. This Interpretation was de-
MED, however. by several members
who attended the meeting. One said:
This statement merely means
that there will be continuous SYM
pathy here, especially among the
fifteen OF twenty millions Of people
of Irish extraction, for the people
of Ireland are sure to clash with
the 10000 British soldiers quar-
tered there"
The following members Of the
committee, which was designated by
