IRISH ORGANIZE
TO AID INDUSTRY
Sinn Fein Parliament Pro-
ceeds in Defiance of
British Efforts.

Dublin. July 12-The Sim Fein par
lament was proceeding today with
plans for the government of Ireland
which completely ignored British in
stitutions.
Ambitious schemes had been fin
ished for four new ministries, de-
signed to operate under the Irish Re-
public and take many functions from
Great Britain. The establishment of
an Irish consular service also has
been decreed. Sim Feiners admitted
the consummation OF their plans de-
pended largely on the success Of the
loan President De Valera is attempt
ing to float In America.
Another project aims to cut down
future emigration by a loan fund
which will enable the republican
government to finance farmers with
a view to keeping youths on the
farms. Other departments provide at
tention to fisheries, reforestatjon
housing and civil service. Lastly.
the Irish parliament has decreed that
national commission conduct an
inquiry into the country's resources
and industries.
Despite Britain's determination to
prevent the functioning of these
ministries, they have been formed,
and announced today they were
ready to begin work.
