ment; determination preached by
gospel; state-created famine; sale of
Irish youths into slavery in the West
Indies at Is pounds each; death of
millions from famine and plague, cul-
in the great famine in Queen
Victoria $ reign, and the exultation of
the English press. This policy of ex-
termination, adopted by Henry VIII,
practiced by his daughters-Mary and
Elizabeth, and expanded by James l,
was brought to logical perfection of
iriquity and the reduction of the popu-
lation to one-third by Cromwell; the
murderers of the people being COM
monty rewarded out of the property
of their victims. A nation that has
survived that, the severest test of a
nations manpower of which there is
record, must be indestructible. And
yet within forty years of the Crom-
wellian massacres, the nation was
once more able and generous enough
to make a brave fight for an unde-
serving king, James II. English legis-
lation against Irish industries and
trade threw the people onto the land;
the penal laws and laws hostile to
agriculture cleared them off the land
again; the consequential state-created
famine and plague overlook each other
almost continually during the eigh-
teenth century. The misery resulting
from the union and from hostile legis-
lation and culpable neglect of official
reports on the condition of the people
perpetuated famine from 1915 to 1916.
The great famine of 1868 was
caused by carrying away the food
grown by the Irish people to feed the
English people, subjecting more than
a million people to the most terrible
of all deaths, and forcing nearly two
millions into exile. Victoria, whom
many of us have seen in the flesh,
surpassed Cromwell in cruelty. The
same policy Of determination was con-
tinued in milder but equally effective
form down to 1914, when the popula-
tion of Ireland was only half what it
had been seventy years before, while
that of England had more than doubled
in the same period. The Irish race
is now estimated at 30,0o0,000, less
than one-seventh of that number. be.
ing in Ireland; situation showing at
once the fertility of the race and the
necessity for freedom to enable them
to live in their own country.
| 6. Ireland is apt for industries and
trade as an independent state. When
Independent she. had her industries
and trade in the measure customary
at that time; manufactured her own
requirements; used them with great
profusion, as will be found set forth
in this statement, and exported con
siderable surplus of commodities in

tanning intimacy with the pure and
noble. She has today no feeling for
the peoples of other lands but recip-
rocal friendship, respect and a desire
to cooperate with them towards in
creasing and securing happiness and
peace amongst nations, by, as in the
time of her independence, CONNER
cial and industrial as we'll as intellec-
tual intercourse. All this constitutes
an additional title to independence, an
additional claim upon European ma
lions, and an additional reason against
leaving Ireland in subsection to the
usurped power of a state guilty of the
abuses of power exemplified in this
statement.
4. Ireland is inherently entitled to
sovereign independence and interna-
tional recognition. For nation as for
individual, the right of self-determina-
ton is indefeasible. Endowed with
all the qualities, properties and facul-
ties essential to state, she is entitled
to exercise them. Ireland being re-
plete with distinct national individu-
atty and animated with an inextin-
guishable desire to realize the pur-
poses of her being, she has never
learned, from morality, or constitu-
tional law, or the course of history,
any valid reason why she should not
be, now as in the past, in the full en-
joyment of sovereign Independence;
and she confidently submits that no
valid reason exists; that her national
endowments, which even England re-
|luctantly admits in making them a
pretext for persecution, are for Ire
lands own purposes; and that foreign
usurpation of power over her is an
outrage upon her and breach of in.
ternational law, aggravated by the
manner of its exercise and by the
policy of defamation; that it is her
duty and her interest to throw of
this foreign yoke; and that in doing
this she is entitled to international
support. The inherent right of free
intercourse with the outside world
now denied her, is also indestructible
We would ask the peace conference
to note in connection with this propo
sition, that as slanderous person is
dangerous to society, so a slanderous
Estate is dangerous, to internationa
peace, and that abuse of country BY
those who are proiting by that coun
TRY is suspicious.
S. Ireland possesses adequate poten
tial man power to maintain sovereign
independence once established. Gen
eral proof of this appears in the fact
that the Irish nation still exists, IL
spite of the policy of determination
carried on persistently for $50 years
including, as will be found in this
ytatement, murder by act of parlia

M. q. Morgan and Russell
Linn, Get Chance to
See Inside of Jail.

An Interesting hearing will be held
today before Judge Raymond when
Manager M. E. Morgan, Of the Grand
sopera house, and Manager Russell
Linn of the Dixie, will appear on
charge of disregarding an injunction
order yesterday afternoon served by
Sheriff Glover prohibiting the showing

tom
Both Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Linn stuck
F.. to the ship until 1t sank. After all but
two of the reels had been shown until
they were served with warrant for
their arrest. Mr.. Morgan contended
that he was within his right In show
ing the picture as the law which for
bids the showing of 1t does not come
into effect until May 20. The West
Virginia State Council OF Defense
some time ago decided that the pic.
ture should not be shown in this state
during the war because 1t aroused
race prejudice at time when the ne
gro element was helping win the war.
Mr.. Morgan contends that If the war
f. is not at an end at this time and this

prominently and other race prejudice
pictures. He was also of the opinion
that the West Virginia Council of De-
Tense had disbanded. There was no
move made In the Circuit court or by
any other authority to discourage the
showing OF 1.-THE Birth of a Nation"
until the showing yesterday though

Prosecuting Attorney Haggerty re-
ceiyed a telephone message from
Charleston yesterday to the effect that

. came at the instigation of Secretary
of State Houston H. Young, and imme.
/. diately steps were taken to prevent
the further showing. Judge Raymond
Issued an Injunction order and the or.
