SYDNEY, Australia.-Agitat for
an Australian republic free of Eng
lish control is increasing here. There
are many Irish people in Australia
who want such a republic and would
like English control cast aside for
ever. =.
But there is apparently not the re-
hottest chance of the English gov
eminent letting Australia go its own
way.
A movement is on foot for the
formation of an Irish party, with
a strong political program.
During the war, Sim Feinism Sc
cured footing here and an organ
ization was formed. The common
wealth government, however, set its
secret service men to work, and the
result was many arrests, and the
appointment of a royal commission
to inquire into the organization.
The taking of evidence in Sgd
ney lasted over three weeks, and
the finding of the commission was
against some of the Sim Feiners,
who were interned until the armistice
was declared.
Irish feeling ran high over this
inquiry, and it was not many weeks
after the suspension of hostilities in
Europe that leading Irishmen became
active. Organizers recently have
been working night and day getting
their forces together.
The Irish party hopes to exercise
a strong political influence, and the
prospects are that it will do so. A
large part of it's membership comes
