NEGROES SHOULD
RETURN SOUTH

Memphis, Fenn:, Aug. 49,
Plenty Of farm and mill work,
better wages than ever before
paid and improved living condi-
tions await Southern negroes who
have gone to the North and who
now are said to be claoring to re-
turn to the South according to
employers here.
Southern farmers and planta-
tlon owners want the southern
negroes back. If there were some
method Of getting in touch with
them it is declared the expense Of
their return to Dixie would be
willingly borne. This will hold es-
pecially true for the next few
weeks, because there is need Of
negroes who know how to take
care Of the cotton crop.
But these employers say theq
do not want northern-born and
reared negroes: They would pre-
fer to bring in foreign labor, they
assert.

Archbishop Hayes
Makes No Apology
For Irish Attitude
Father Dineen, Secretary,
Says He Will Not Dignity
Leaders of Organization
With Reply to Criticism

Criticisms of Archbishop Patrick J
Hayes by the Citizens Of the Irish
Republic. an organization with head
quarters at 537 Third Avenue, are not
disturbing the archbishop, it was
learned yesterday. His secretary,
Father Joseph P. Dineen, said the arch
bishop has no apologies to make for
his attitude toward Ireland and that
he did not propose to dignity the Irish
organization by replying to its attacks.
These officers of the association have
signed the protest addressed to the
Archbishop: Thomas J. Joyce, vice
president ;aMatthew Butler. secretary:
Sean Murphy, financial secretary, and
E. Machalan, members of the executive
council. Their communication follows:
Object to Lack of Recognition
Your grace, in an interview with q
New York World reporter, denied both
by omission and innuendo the exist
ence of the Irish republic. which was
baptized in Irish blood Easter week,
1915. Delivering Christian messages
is the true role of churchmAn Pro-
pounding new and weird theories re-
garding what should be acceptable to
the Irish nation is entirely outside
your province, particularly as you are
an American and not an Irish citizen
Suggesting settlement Of what al
ready has been settled by the Irish
people themselves by the self-determ-
ination election of December, 1918, is
an outrageous disregard of facts and
shows desire on your part to deny tine
existence of the Irish Republic, which
is the re jure government Of Ireland.
when you suggest a common i'm
port duty tax for the whole "Unit-
ed CO" Kingdom, you ask the Irish
people to agree to the perpetuation Of
the very economic system devised
with that object by England) which has
brought about the reduction of Ire
lands population from 100000 to
4,250,000 souls. What triumph Of
economic wisdom for your grace to
PROFOUND to the new race-conscious
resurgent Irish nation! Most assured
ly there is truth in the adage fools
rush in where wise men fear to tread
Take Issue With Appeal
Again, your grace asks the Irish
nation to contribute it's proper quota
to the upkeep of the British military
establishment in Ireland Why any
people should pay for something which
they have never asked for does not
seem to penetrate the capacious mind
of your grace. At the present moment
the presence of this foreign army of
occupation is the one and only thing
which prevents the de jure government
of Ireland from functionine as the de
facto government of the nation.
Finally, the citizens of the Irish
Republic, which is an organization of
involuntary exiles, beg to protest
against the discourtesy with which
they have been treated in this matter.
We have by letter asked your grace
for the favor of an explanation or an
interview and, failing either, we are
row obliged to approach you in this
direct method, which is repugnant to
the Irish character"
