Mr.. Cochran sai% diplomatic recoe-

Arguing that Congress has prece-

policy of the United States toward
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
and asserted that Sim Fein courts
were functioning in all parts of Ire
land, except Belfast and Dublin.

For three centuries, Mr.. Cochran
said, British laws had denied the Irish
land ownership and kept them in pow.
erty. The entry of the United States
in the World War raised the struggle
to the plane of great crusade" fol-
justice to all, MIR. Cochran said, urging
notice to the world that this country
was continuing that pledge. AS he
concluded an uproar of applause swept
the room, to be checked only wher
committeeman raped for order.
Resuming his speech in opposition tc
the Mason bill, Mr.. Fox attacked the
statement that upward of 20,00000(
Americans of Irish blood were asking
recognition of the republic, declaring
the 1910 census showed only 100000
males in the United States who were
born in Ireland
canon de Valera, President of the
Provisional Republic, he charged, is
not truly an 1rishman, but an Ameri-

never had held any public Office OF

Fox explained to-day that during his
testimony of yesterday he was not re-

One Foe of Cause Heard
Mason Bill to Recognize
Sim Fem Republic Is
Taken Under Amusement

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Arguments
for and against diplomatic recognition
of the Irish republic were continued
to-day before the House Foreign At
fairs Committee, which is considering
bill to appropriate funds to send
diplomatic and consular representatives
accredited to the republican govern
ment.
Headed by Justice Daniel F. Cohalan,
of the New York Supreme Court, rep
resentatives of various Irish organiza-
tions in this country told the commit
tee that such a recognition not only
would follow out the determination
pledges Of President Wilson but would
stabilize the struggling republic and
convince Great Britain that her domi-
nation in Ireland must be surrendered.
In closing the arguments for the bill
Bourke Cochran, of New York, declared
conditions in Ireland are Infinitely
worse" than they were in Cuba when
the United States interviewed there
The only speaker opposing the bill
during the day was George l.. Fox, of
New Haven, Conn, who continued the
speech he began yesterday in general
denial that the republican government
was functioning sufficiently to deserve
recognition. He asserted that the
movement did not have the united sup
port claimed for it in Ireland, and that
many stories of mistreatment of the
Irish by British authorities were
myths.
Their Crimes, Virtues"
A big crowd again was attracted by
the hearing, and although the session
was not so tumultuous as yesterday
there were frequent bursts of applause
IF any member of this comm ittee, ,
said Mr.. Cochran, in his closing argu-
ment, "were to make in Ireland a
Fourth of July speech advocating the
principles Of the Declaration of indie
pendence he would be put in Jail. Al
though it is a country freer of crime
than any other in the world, there are
more people in Jail than anywhere else,
and the crimes with which they are
charged are the very things you cele-
brate as virtues"
Asked if he favored war in case Eng
land took offense at passage of the
bill, Mr.. Cochran said his reply was
that of Lincoln before the Civil War
when he said: Let US not be fright

he placed the needs of his country.
DR.. Renner declared the question was
not political one, but involved Saving

The French government, it is de-
clared in authoritative circles, is fav-

relief can be given the Austrian people

Breaking of Dorpat
Deadlock Forecast
Bolsherik Demand for Occu-
patton of the Narra Front
Ties Up Baltic Conference

DORPAT, Dec. 13.-M. Poska, Estho-
nian Foreign Minister, told The AS
sociateed Press to-day that the point
on which the Baltic conference was
temporarily deadlocked was the Dol
shevik demand that Soviet forces pro-
vislonally occupy as one of the mill
tary guarantees that part of Esthonia
northward from Lake Peipus which
takes in the Narva front and all the
territory occupied by the remnants of
the Yudentch army
M. Poska appeared to take a cheerful
view of the situation, indicating his be-
lief that satisfactory adjustment of the
situation would be reached, and said he
did not think the decision of the North
western Russian government 20 with
draw its forces from Esthonia would
have much influence on the negotia-
tons.
The announcement of the North
western Russian governments inten-
ton was made yesterday by Premier
Llanozow in reply to communication
from the Esthonian Premier, to the
effect that the presence of the North
western government had created diff
culties in Esthonia, which was COM
PEELED thereby to conduct an active war
against the Bolsheviki, while desiring
to take only defensive action.
The effect of The decision upon the
army recently commanded by General
Yudenitch is not clear, as that officer
has severed connection with the gov
eminent by resigning from the War
Ministry. 1t is probable, therefore,
that it will be unnecessary for him to
leave Esthonia, as the Esthonians as
sert the Yudenitch army no longer ex-
lists.

shouted: "Sonnino was dumb"

France aims to, get back only the 49,

lent the Car 1t is curious fact that
France, since she has been republic,
has always worked to restore mon
archy. She began by suffocating MAJ
zinl's republic in Rome and aimed to
replace the Pope on the throne. Then
she helped Hohenzollern to the Ru-
manian throne and now would restore
the Hapsburgs in Austria and the Ro-
manoffs in Russia"

NeaU Home Rule Bill


LONDON, Dec. 13.-Sir Horace Plunk-

Statesman" "a Message From Ireland
to America" in which he says:
eve are promised in few days an
announcement Of a bill to provide self
government for Ireland The Irish
people have had no part in the framing
of the government they are to work.
They have not the faintest notion of
what it is going to be. One minister
in the secret has publicly disclosed
that they would denounce it when its
terms are known.
eve may, therefore, confidently as
sert that this at the best is merely
marking time, and at the worst is a
device of political opportunism, in lieu
Of statesmanship.'

The treaty was bad enough, but we are
entirely resigned to it and are ready

with Germany and are ready to place
ourselves entirely in the hands of the
Allies. We offer them this interchange
for help. We must have an opportunity
to get on our feet and to pay off the
obligations which we have mortgnged
all our possessions to secure.

tobacco and in the development and
exploitation of immense resources in
water power that could provide a sort
of power station for all Central Eu-
rope. The Danube River alone in the
vicinity of Vienna can furnish a mil
lion horsepower, and in the mountain
regions two million more.
No Politics in Question
"The question should not be treated
as political, because there is no politics
in it. 1t is business proposition
which involves urgently at its Begin
ming the humanitarian question of saw
ing 100000 human beings from star
vation."
DR.. Renner appears to count largely
on America for aid. Dr.. Schiller, For
elgn Trade Minister, together with the
Chancellor, told The Associated Press
that the Austrians had acquired the
habit of looking to the United States
for help and that the name of Herbert
Hoover, former head of the Inter-AIlied
relief organization, has become a fam
lily byword. They said if Mr. Hoover
could have been a candidate for Presi-
dent of the Austrian Republic he would
have been elected by tremendous ma
jority, although the peoples informa-
ton about him is limited to the sub.
ject of American bread which they re.
ceived through him.
