the Declaration of independence says:

sion of the loot he could overturn at
the peace table by direct appeal
to the peoples of Europe.
If such was his dream it was a
childlike one. At the peace table the
reactionary elements were in full con-
troll. The war was won and Mr.. Will
son, having delivered America, was an
unwelcome supernumerary to the
whack-up. AS to appealing to the
peoples over the heads of their gov

Nevertheless the defeat of the
United States at the peace confer

still come out of the matter creditably
if we stick to the principles which
Mr.. Wilson once advocated. 1t may
be difficult. 1t may take time. But
it is very we'll worth while. Any de

atrocities in Belgium were alleged
to have extended over period of
three or four years while the atroci-
ties of England in Ireland have ex-
tended over the centuries.
Belgium today, with chorus of
thanksgiving from all over the world,
has resumed her place among the ma
tions of the earth. Ireland after
seven and a half centuries - greater
suffering, still lies PROSTATE at the
feet of England, but liberty is in the
air and it will be given to Ireland as
to the rest of the world. Men of
Irish blood, Joined by patriotic Ameri-
cans everywhere, are determined that
the Irish people shall not femain the
only white race in slavery and they
have put their shoulder to the wheel
and are not going to surrender until
Ireland is internationally recognized
as free and Independent Republic.
The Irish nation was refused hear
ing at Paris, but America realizes full
we'll that just and lasting peace can
not be made, until the question of
Ireland is settled. And it can be set
tied right only by granting to that
country her absolute freedom from the
chains of the tyrant that has bound
her through the centuries. England

prospered and grown beyond the fond
est dreams of our American fore
fathers.
1T Is inconceivable that any con-
siderable portion of our citizens, either
in numbers of influence, would join
the English reactionaries, or other
anti.social forces of the world, in the
slaughter of Irish people, which
would be inevitably necessary if any
attempt to drive them back to English
rule were undertaken.
with one-half of the world in re-
volt against the ideas of the ancient
autocracies which have SO lately
bathed the world in blood, the for
ward-looking and deep-thinking men
and women of the world have awak-
ened to the realization that 1reland's
demand for the right to control its
own destinies is the most conserva-
tive one which is being expressed in
this world of new concepts.
ENGLAND has in Ireland at the pres
ent moment an army of occupation
approximately 100000 men, equipped
with all the hideous machinery of
modern warfare, yet fearing to strike
the blow which she undoubtedly in
tended few months ago.
IF England were again to attempt
the wholesale murder of Irish Republi-
cans, the world would rise in it's might
to prevent the outrage.
"The demand for Irish independence
is sweeping through Europe like Wild
fire. Every Italian paper of impor-
tance is demanding the speedy recog-
milton of the Irish Republic. France,
still the ally and associate in arms of
England, is voicing the same demand
through it's most powerful and con-
servative newspapers. The neutrals,
including Switzerland, are laundering
forth the identical plea.
"It is not out of the range of possi-
bilities that, on account of England's
failure up to this time to withdraw
it's army of occupation, the Covenant
of the League of Nations will be de-
feated in the Senate, or that an amend
ment will be added declaring that Ire
land comes strictly within the prin-
ciples laid down by the President up
on our entry into the war, and de-
mandinp the ful1 recOgnitiOn of the
Irish Republic, with the right of that
government to deal as the represen'
tative of free and Independent ma
ton with the other countries of the
world.

First Aid to Patriotism
(From The Nation.)

It seems nowadays that when an
American legislator has nothing on his
hands worth doing-which happens
pretty regularly-or finds need to vim
dicate what Whitman finely calls "the
never-ending audacity of elected per-
sons," he bestirs himself towards the
seditious alien with the alacrity of the
hart towards the waterbroOks. The
number of Federal and State bills in
troduced during the great recurrent
calamity known as the session of the
legislature, with view of making
treason odious, is only less remarkable
than their character.
One Senate bill, for instance, pro-
poses that periodical literature in any
foreign language be excluded from the
mails. Another proposes that any lit
erature printed in German be unmail-
able. Then there is the red flag bill,
which not only covers red (and black
flags, but also "emblems." There is
the bill which forbids advocacy of
|overthrowing the United States Gov
ernment, whether such advocacy is ex-
pressed in speech or writing; the or.
ganizing of associations, or even the
hiring of halls for the purpose of or
ganizing an association for the purpose
of such advocacy.
BY the terms of another bill, an
alien who places any explosive, OF
does any act with the object of de-
stroying either life or propertyAlike
killing somebody's dog, for instance
which is combination of both crimes
shall be punished with death.
There is a batch of deportation bills
bewildering in their number. content
and inconsistency, and Overwhelming
in their contemplation of bureaucratic
license. There are immigration bills
without end. Being an alien in Amer
ica is responsible and onerous bust
ness, these days; no wonder they are
going back to their native lands al
soon as they can.

quests for revision of war aims that
destroyed Russia's confidence. The
Russians were uninterested in
struggle between groups that seemed
equally bent on Imperialism.
Second, the peace treaty, following
closely as it does the lines of the Sc
cret treaties, is thoroughly destruc-
tive document. 1t contains no healing
provisions. And it has powerfully
stimulated international discord even
among the Allied nations. Inciden-
tally, it has plunged the peoples of
Europe as distinguished from their
governments, into growing disbelief
in the present order, and convinced
large numbers of them that nothing
short of revolutionary methods can
bring relief.
Third, the peace treaty, because OF
it's injustices and undisguised exhibi-
tions of greed, has rendered impos-
sible an inclusive League of Nations,
such as Mr.. Wilson declared at Man.
chester was the only kind of league
America was interested in. So impos-
sible would it be, through any means
but sheer force, to carry out the treaty
of Versailles, that the diplomats of
Europe and, no doubt, Mr.. Wilson him
self realized that true peace league
was out of the question.
And they instantly fell back on the
balance of power plan, whose para
mount object is to provide the machin-
ery for holding slave nations in firm,
vise-like grip, while the master ma
tions proceed to exploit them. This
is the reason-and a perfectly logical
one-for Mr.. Wilson's insistence on
retaining section 10.
Without a section obligating all the
league members to cooperate in de-
livering, for instance, Shantung to
japan, giving Great Britain the bal
ance of the worlds oil, carving up
Mesopotamia and Asia Minor for her
benefit, making the Mediterranean a
British lake, Persia British province,
and the Saar Valley and the west
bank provinces a French Ireland, the
peace treaty would not last a twelve
month.
But why Mr.. Wilson did not see the
trend of events little sooner Is In
explicable. He must at least have
SUSPECTED what was coming. Most in
telligent people saw it as almost
certainty, The only theory that seems
to explain Mr.. Wilson is that he con
sciously elected not to know what the
Allies had done, so that he could more
freely talk Of the wars idealism, and
believed that whatever secret agree

to war to vindicate. In the Western
states was frequently invited to state
Ireland's cause from Protestant pull
pits. But it was in New Hampshire
that l found the most remarkable evil
dences of American opinion on the
Irish question transcending sectarian
lines. Speaking recently at Ports

cord, had ministers of several de-
nominations in every meeting, and all
enthusiastic in support of my plea.
In Manchester the Rev. Mr.. Lockhart,
the leading minister of the city and
known as one of the strongest sup
porters of President Wilson, applauded
with particular vigor. At Concord the
Rev. Thomas Collett, Episcopalian,
was on the platform with me, while
the other speaker of the occasion
was the Rev. William B. Spofford, of
the same faith, who is Son of the
American Revolution and member of
the Cincinnati. More than half the
audience on this occasion was non.

audience was put by prosperous

asked what could most effectively be

"The only dissenting note in the
