ment of set Of resolutions passed
at the national board meeting re-
questing that America give it's sup
port to the plea that Ireland have a
place at the peace conference and
that Ireland'S claim to independence
be given the same consideration as
PolandS.
The resolutions follow:
Whereas, The Ancient Order of Hi
bernians and Ladies Auxiliary, rep
resenting a membership of 100000 and
speaking for two and a half million
of the Irish race in America, loyal
citizens of this great Republic, are
met in the city of Washington, this
second day of December, 1918, for the
purpose of reaffirmtng the principles
| of the Hibernian organizations in
America and extending to the Presi-
| dent Of this Republic an appreciation
| of his magnificent Interpretation OF
| World Democracy which he will per
| sonally eXpound at the coming Peace
| Conference; and
| Whereas, Our President, in his
| statesmanlike war utterances has re-
| peatedly declared against secret di-
| plOmacy, territorial aggrandisement
| economic and political control without
the consent of the governed, and has
| with the same wisdom and force de-
| clared for the right of all nations, great
and small, to determine their own form
! Of government; and
| Whereas, Ireland, the Oldest small
civilization in Europe. has been held
| in unwilling bondage for centuries. de-
handing for herself those rights which
President Wilson declares are the in
alienable principles of nationhood;
and
Whereas, America and America s
representative at the Peace Conference
are opponents of the principles OF
! Democracy, self determination of gov
ernment political and economic con
troll by the governed;
Therefore, we request that the pow.
erful influence of this great Republic
| Of America be invoked for the purpose
of giving Ireland a place at the Peace
Conference of the Nations
That Irelands claims 20 Independ
ence may receive equal consideration
with those of Poland. and that SHIT
| take her rightful place in the League
Of Nations which will guarantee tn
peace of the world and will square
the Constitution of every goyernmen
with Americas incompatible Declare
ton of Independence, the rights of al
peoples to life, liberty and the puI
suit of happiness.
