AFTER THE LEAGUE-POOLING OF THE
WAR DEBTS

A communication from Henry C. Wisewood in the
Minneapolis Tribune of Thursday Sept. 18, fur
nishes interesting data in reference to British
propaganda which is being carried on through
a myriad of agencies in America. Mr. Wisewood is
known to be pronounced and hard-hitting oppo-
nent OF the League of Nations and has publicly de-
clared his opposition thereto. Here is the interest
ing story he tells of the work of the propaganda in
trying to abandon his attitude of hostility to the
covenant:
EARLY last May there called upon me at my office
la Mr.. ]. J. ONeill whose engraved card described
him London manager of the Manchester Guar
dian of Manchester, England. Mr.. O'Neill, who
was stranger to me, Immediately introduced the
subject of the League of Nations and took me to
task because of my opposition to that project Up
on inquiring of him why an Englishnan should be
in this country instructing American in the lat
ter's national duty, and receiving clear answer,
asked him bluntly what was the actual purpose of
his visit to the United States. He replied that he
was here upon mission connected with the inter-
naturalization OF the debt. l asked him if he
meant me to understand that he was here upon the
business of inducing the United States to guarantee
the debt of the nations recently at war, nclud-
ing that of Great Britain, and that of Germany He
said he | told him that he would find little
sentiment in this country favorable to such prof.
ect. This seemed to surprise him; he said that I
was the first American he had met who did not
favor it. then asked him whom he had seen, and
he replied that upon the previous day he had seen
Mr. ]. P. Morgan and that Mr. Morgan had ex-
pressed himself as being in favor of the plan
In this illuminating incident we have forecast
of the next step in international affairs which is
follow the adoption of the League, under the British
program. Apparently, as Mr.. Wisewood suggests,
the United States, the new partner is to be asked
to assume pro rata share of the debts of the old
partnership, whose troubles to be pooled in the
League of Nations Mr.. Wisewood further suggests
that it is high time to inquire publicly what plans,
if any, afoot to bring about such an adjustment
of world finances
This is not by any means the first intimation that
has been given of such plan for the relief of bank
rupt European nations. The League seems to be
vertable Pandoras box of troubles so far as Amer
ica is concerned. Would it not then be advisable
for Uncle Sam to reject the whole package and send
it back unopened to the British diplomats who have
fabricated the thing after their designs and
specifications?

ranging from six months to fourteen
years. Besides, a number of promi.
nent citizens were flogged in public,
receiving from 15 to 80 stripes.
The editors of many papers were
forced to pay security, their first de-
posits with the government having
been forfeited. About % papers were
either papers or made to pay addi-
t1onal security, the government resery-
Ing the right to suppress these and
to declare their security forfeited, at
Its pleasure. Sums ranging from Rs.
1000 to Rs 10000 (about $4,000 were
paid as security. The editor of the
Bombay Chronicle Mr.. B. G. Horniman.
an Englishman, was deported to Eng
land, and his paper forced to pay addi-
tional security of Rs. 5000 upon re-
newal of publication. The government
decision to censor the news of the pa
per forced the directors to adopt the
policy of withholding all editorial
criticism, and publishing only the
news of the day. For publishing
Harmless stuff" another paper was
made to pay Rs. 1000 ($SO0). So
rigorous was the enforcement of the
Press Act in the Punjab that most of
the papers throughout the Province
stopped publication.
In the light of the recent upheaval
throughout the world the events in
india appear trivial. But if one con-
siders that the government rules with
an iron hand, that no avenue of pro-
test, or expression of opinion has been
left open to the people, the significance
of these disturbances can be properly
understood. The policy of repression
and suppression has begun in India
now that the war has ended. The re-
ward for India's loyalty and India's
sacrifices is arrests and punishments,
suppression of speech and press, and
coercive legislation, the like of which
has never been known in her long his
tory.

LIVERPOOL VS.. QUEENSTOWN.

Speaking at the services incident to the consecra-
ton of the Cathedral of St. Colman at Queenstown
on Sunday, August "a, the venerable Cardinal Logue
called attention to the Enthusiastically sinister
British practices that have thwarted from time to
time the efforts of Irish business to develop the
natural capacities of this magnificent harbor 1t
had been port of call for foreign vessels especially
American liners, until few merchants in Liverpool
got their backs up" in jealousy of the enterprise
of Queenstown. These merchants persuaded the
owners of the ocean liners to declare their vessels
could not make Queenstown with safety, though,
as the Cardinal declared they had been coming
there since he boy, and there no record
of ship being wrecked in the 1arbor Thus it is
that the great port capable of accommodating the
largest vessels in commercial service stands idle and
empty except for few tugboats and barges. Mul-
ton against Irish and industry by several
hundred and the resulting composite will help you
to better understanding of the Irish problem. 1t
should also demonstrate the justice of the demands
of the Irish people for control of their com
merce, industry and government, not only for their
own benefit but also that of the whole commercial
and industrial world

London.-A good deal of unneces-
sary irritation has been caused by
the military prohibition of markets
and fairs throughout County Glare,
which has been decreed military area
by Dublin Castle. Sale of potatoes
and peat fuel to the poor has been
stopped. Much privation has been
the result.
Thus blandly observes the Daily
News special correspondent in Ire

What the Daily Erin Is
Doing for the People

Lloyd George that 1T was difficult to
know what Ireland wanted" Mr.. Grif-
fifth said: "The last election told him
that we'll when almost three-fourths of
the Irish representatives were elected
on the clear declaration that Ireland
wanted an independent Republic. On
the polling figures Sim Fein repre-
sented Is per cent of the Irish people,
while Lloyd Georges Government only
represented 60 per cent of the English
people. And yet he presumed to carry
on the government of England! They
found President Wilson, who repre-
sented the whole of America, had only
a majority of few thousands on a
poll of IA million. The principle of
majority rule was good enough for
America and England, but in Ireland,
even though they were three to one,
Lloyd George said: Since you can't
unanimously agree we can't concede
your demand They were ready at
any future time to accept a challenge
at the polls and return not 73 but 80
members"
"Men Of Ulster"
Addressing them now as "Men of
Ulster" Mr.. Griffith said England by
her propaganda abroad tried to repre-.
sent that province as half of Ireland
and as in favor of government by En-.
gland, but it was shown at the last
election that out of nine counties in
Ulster five were in favor of Sim Fein
and he (Mr. Grifith) believed six
would poll for Sim Fein in the next
election.
The demonstration at Belfast on Sat.
urday, Mr.. Griffith said, was political
device, in which the men who served
in the war were used as pawns for the
purpose of pretending to Continental
countries and America that Ulster was
altogether on the side of England
They heard Sir Edward Carson the
other day making a certain speech
which British ministers disavowed, yet
in his going to Belfast they found the
whole English Government behind
him, trying to make it appear before
the world that they had a consider.
able part of Ireland behind them. vi.
ster, the Ulstermen there could say,
would never be divided from the rest
of Ireland on the path to freedom.
Very Large Gathering.
1t was estimated that there were
over 10000 people at the meeting from
various parts of the county and Meath
and numerous bands, most of which
carried the Republican flag. An Amer
ican flag and the Irish tricolor foated
from the platform. Jas. Murphy, Co.
c., presided, and Mr.. Griffith was ac-
corded an ovation. Other speakers in

Ultimately the whole matter will and should be

THE SHEPHERD OF THE BELG1ANs.

tribute to Cardinal Mercier, who is now in America
for a few months visit:
There is one other outstanding figure in the
recollectons of these years, that of man already
possessing the full confidence of those who were
privileged to know him intimately, but now at
length discovered to the world in the true power of
his character. The of Cardinal Mercier, Arch
bishop of Manes and Primate of Belgium, will rank
forever with those of the greatest pastors who
enshrined in the annals of Christendom. Unfalter-
ing in confidence, dauntess in courage, answering
in the teaching of truth relentless in his pursuit Of
injustice even in high Places he has shown himself
the true spiritual shepherd of the Belgian people"

Arthur Gritfith's Statement at Bally.
jamesduff-Policy Being Put into
Action by Sim Fein ParIia-
ment.

Arthur Griffith, M. P, speaking at
Ballyjamesduff, recently, said after
the General Election suggestion was
made to the 40 Irish members in Jail
that if they agreed to go to the En-
glish Parliament they would be re-
leased. Lloyd George wrote letter
in January, stating that he hoped
nothing would prevent them attending
the opening of the British Parliament.
In the past they were told England
was afraid of the Irish members sent
to her Parliament, but the English
Premier was so anxious to get them
there that he was prepared to open the
Jail gates and give them the cushioned
seats of Westminster, with 94OO a
year. When they refused he kept them
three months longer in prison.
They were told that if they left the
English Parliament Ireland's voice
would never be heard in the world;
but had Ireland's voice ever been
heard so powerfully in the world as
since the day, eight months ago, when
once and forever, they renounced the
Parliament.
TriumphaI Progress.
De Valera marched in triumphal
progress from end to end of the
States. No visitor to that country had
ever been received with such mani
festations of honor, respect and en-
thusiasm. From the Atlantic to the
Pacific his march was unexampled.
Legislatures and municipalities Wed
with one another in honoring him.
Everywhere he spoke the people of
America pledged themselves to him,
to work for Irish freedom.
The Irish Republic had floated
loan in America to which cities were
subscribing with enthusiasm. In San
Francisco three times the amount
asked for was subscribed in "a hours.
Mr.. Griffith proceeded: 1--WE are 60
ing to float an internal loan and ask
the people of Ireland to subscribe as
their countrymen abroad are doing to
the national fund for the maintenance
and development of the work.
Foreign and Home Policy.
In addition to carrying out through
out France, Italy and other Continent
al countries and in America our for
eign policy, we have appointed and
sent consuls to half-dozen impor-
tant European countries (prolonged
cheers). These consuls will represent
the interests of Irish trade and COM
merce, and we have sent to several
countries political representatives to
look after the political interests of
Ireland.
eve have established a department
to look after the fisheries of Ireland,
and already, on the west coast, are
helping the fishermen to secure from
the seas part of the harvest now car
ried away by Scotch and English
trawlers." They had established de-
partment of forestry and timber indus
tries, which were projecting the es-
tablishment of national bank to deal
with loans for agriculture and indus
try; were dealing with the land ques-
tion in an attempt to see that men
shall not emigrate for want of land,
and had appointed commission, COM
posed of representatives of the manu-

into the resources of Ireland. On that
