THE two weeks it took the state

for it to consult with the English

exposure of its barbarous misrule in
Ireland such as the Walsh Dunno afro.

United States government refuse to
grant permission to one of it's citizens
to visit the British Isles and the State
Department meekly obeyed
This is just another example of
the way the present administration at
Washington has played in to the hands
of Britain in allowing foreign power
to dictate to it.
"The department could have
amended the passport, leaving Eng
land to refuse to wise 1t, but 1t pre-

England either is or is not at war
with Ireland. This refusal indicates
beyond doubt that state of war
exists and that Britain recognizes it.

Paris, Aug. 2O.-Having been re.
fused permission to visit Ireland, j.
A. Murphy, Irish-American commits
sioner here, today issued a statement
in which he virtually accuses Presi.
dent Wilson's government of conniv-
ing with the government of Great
Britain in the suppression of publi-
cation and investigation of alleged
new British atrocities in Ireland.
Mr.. Murphy, who will sail for New
York in two or three days, is the
last of the American commissioners
on Irish independence in Paris, and it
is a question whether there will be a
successor here.
He charges that from present in
dications it is almost a foregone con.
clusion that thanks to the way Presi-
dent Wilson played into the hands of
Lloyd George" the peace conference
will not consider the Irish question
at all.
In this connection the following
sentence from Mr.. Murphy's state

This is just another sample of the

INDUSTRIAL And POLITICAL SLAVERY
Interview With Frank p. Walsh.

Interview With Frank p. Walsh.
tBy William P. Harvey, former Edi-
tor of the American Railway EN-
fploye's Journal)
Autocracy, whether political or in
dustrial, succeeds only in the measure
of the ignorance Of it's victims. The
effort to democratize the world will
succeed only when every artificial
obstacle has been removed from the
paths of individuals making up the
races.
For those races which have
achieved political democracy, there
remains only fight for industrial de-
mocracy. For the so-called "back-
ward nations the effort must be first
for political freedom and afterwards
for Industrial freedom. Never in the
history of the world has any nation
achieved mental or physical freedom
as far as industry Is torcerned, until
it has made effective the fullest and
freest political independence.
American labor is primarily inter-
ested in political freedom for every
nation in which majority wish to
exercise the right of self-determina-
tion because that is the first and the
most necessary step toward doing
away with the competition of pauper
labor. That class of labor exists
only among suppressed races, the
politically subservient. Political free
dom, with the Industrial freedom
which inevitably would follow, would
raise the standard of wages and Of
living in all countries in which pau
perism is bred wilfully and conscious
ly by political masters.
The foregoing ideas form the crux
