Rev. M. J. Casey,
1927 Lafond Street,
st. Paul, MINI.
Dear Father Casey: II you have
followed the debate in the mail bag
on the Irish question, you have no
doubt observed that we have confined
1t strictly to the political side. We
cannot permit the discussion Of re.
ligious questions in our mail bag.
Your letter, which l am returning
herewith, is we'll calculated to do this.
l should be very glad indeed to pub.
lish a letter from you on the political
aspects Of the Ulster delegation, but
we must try to keep religious argu.
ments out of it.
In view of the great prominence
given to Mr.. de Valera during his
visit to the United States, do you not
think that it is no less than fair for
the newspapers, our own included,
also to give space to representatives
of the other side in Irish politics? l
do not think that any fair-minded man
can complain on this score.
Very truly yours,
H. r. GAIT,
Managing Editor.

New York, Dec. Methods of the
Sim Fein were likened to those of
the Bolsheviki by seven members of
the Ulster Unionist Council of Ireland,
who arrived here today on the steam
ship Columbia.
They said they had come to the
United States to protest against the
spread of Sim Fein propaganda. Six
of the members of the mission are
clergymen.
"As an official delegation from the
Episcopal, Methodist and Presby-
terian churches of Ireland to the
United States of America" the state
ment said, I'VE wish first to convey
the greetings of the people we rep
resent to the people of America. We

We are not here on political cam

matter for Britishers.
Sim Fein Not Solution.
I'VE are here in the interest of law
and order, of truth and honesty, Of
fair play and principle, to protest
against the pernicious propaganda
which is being spread in your country
in relation to Ireland.
"Our mission is not sectarian. Our
mission is to say to America that the
Sinn Fein movement in Ireland,
which is spreading its propaganda in
America, is not solution of the
Irish question; that it is radical and
destructive in its methods, that It is
conducting in Ireland a campaign of
coercion, threat and assassination
and that It is not supported nor re.
spected now by the better type Of peo-
pie IN Ireland, whether Catholic or
Protestant, Who have NO interested OF
prejudiced motive; that It WAS the
party Of rebellion during the war;
that It supported and fuTthered the
cause Of the foe; that It Was traitor

Sir: The Orange drum is beating

men and laymen, all tarred with the
Orange brush, have arrived in New

Press have issued manifesto to the
American people. On the front page
OF this mornings Pioneer Press,
December 81, we read as follows:
"As an official delegation from the
Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian
churches Of Ireland we are here to
say to America that the Sinn Fein

. that it is not supported nor

ment akin to the Bolshevist republic
in Russia"
Our first thought on reading this
pronouncement, Il speak as one of
hundreds Of your readers), is that our
press at the present time could be
better employed than to use valuable
space spreading insinuations of Boil.
shevfsm against the Irish people. We
have been taught that Bolshevism
stands for free love. abolition Of
private property and the Soviet in
government. Does Irish Catholicism
stand for these things? Although
some Of their ablest leaders are Prot
estant, the rank and file of the Sinr
Fefn are Catholics. To assert, nay
even to insinuate, that so per cent Of
the Irish nation are tainted with Boil

Dear Mr.. Gait: Your letter rejecting
the one sent by me to your Mail Bag
has been received and I beg to thank
you for your courtesy If not for the
Information it conveyed. Until you
drew my attention to the matter 1
was not aware that my letter was in
any sense a discussion of religious
questions" For in the first place the
statement of the Ulster delegation on
which I animadverted laid down dis
tfnctly that it was an Official delega-
tton Of the Episcopal, Methodist and
Presbyterian churches in Ireland"
Secondly, lest anyone might presume
to think that to exploit the religious
aspect Of the Irish problem entered
into the purview of the delegation they
hasten to assure the American public
that their mission is neither sectarian
nor political. Thirdly, having exclud-
ed religion pure and simple and
political, (no doubt equally as pure),
from their program, they proceed to
tell us their real purpose. I'VE are
here" they say, "in the interest of
law and order, of truth and honesty. of
fair play and principle" The issue is
as plain as day. How could anyone
treat this as religious argument?"
It is simply a question Of common
veracity and straighttorwardness: and

Society Of the City Of Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, MINI.
December 10, 1919.
Dear Friend: Each year since its
formation the Particular Council Of st.
Vincent de Paul Society at Christmas
time has appealed to the charitably
disposed for funds to carry on its
sworkdn Minneapolis. It has heretofore
sbeen explained, and we think It is now
generally known that this society pays
particular attention to the work of the
City Missionary, and our annual re-
port shows In detail how the funds
subscribed have been disposed of. In
each parish where there is a Confer.
ence of this society the people are
familiar with its work and It there
fore seems unnecessary to go into
further detail.
The response made to our appeal
last year was SO small that it was
necessary for the City Missionary,
Father Driscoll, to raise by entertain
.ments and other means sufficient
money to carry on the work of the
st. Charles Mission and his Juvenile
Court work. Our Treasurer's- report
which is printed and circulated in our
annual report shows how few con-
trtbutors there are. We hope this
year to approach the mark set by St.
Paul where over e3s;aoo.1o a year is
regularly contributed BY large list
sstsp8efons.
The City Missionary asks for $4,000
to properly do his work during the
year 1890. The scope OF his work Ia
outlined in detail III his letter to the
society. It ought not be necessary
to make anseurgent appeal to secure
this money because at this season
those who have been blessed with
prosperity should especially remember
the poor, and the society feels no hesi.
tation in asking you to make a dona-
tion within your means and in this
"Hy AOS VA1y A0AP " VI aug JOy w SOAO
of the poor but to make the City Mis-
sionary feel that we are interested in
his work, and that we are willing to
contribute our means and our time to
help in carrying it on. It would seem
that he should be relieved from the
necessity Of financing his own work,
and that his time should be free to de-
vote to the great charity in which he
is so deeply interested.
Will you kindly help to- make up
this sum of 100000 by sending a
donation to our treasurer Mr.. John
M. Gleason, Ill South Ninth street,
or to any of the officers of this organ
ization, or to your pastor. You could
also help by calling the attention of
others to this appeal, and we trust
the response will be generous and
general that the work may not fail
for lack of funds.
Sincerely yours,
PETER CARTER,
Secretary.
