HIBERNIANS OPPOSE ANY
PACT THAT MIGHT MERGE
IDENTITY Of THE NATIONS

San Francisco, July 1s.-The report
Of the Foreign Relations committee
submitted today to the National Con-
vention Of the Ancient Order Of Hi
bernians in America and Canada in
session here. would place the order
frmly on record as opposed to any
pact entered into by the United
States that might merge the identity
Of the nations"
The resolution said in part:
"As It is q rnisnoner to apply for
eign' to Ireland, where the Hibernians
are involved, it might sound strange
to include our own beloved nation
under the classiflcations were it not
that late complications leave one
somewhat doubtful whether we are
Justly entitled to call the United
States our own or whether we are
mere tenants on rented land.
THE society views with misgivings
certain tendencies which have lately
caused uneasiness in the disturbed
breasts of many patriotic citizens of
this glorious republic.
80 the order wishes to go on rec
ord as unswervingly opposed to any
pact, treaty or compromise which
might tempt any one to imagine that
we have merged our identity or sur
rendered one inch Of the independ-
ence for which our fathers and so
many members fought and bled."
Eamonn de Valera, president of
the Irish Republic" addressing the
delegates said:
Il believe a democracy in Eng
land would free the English as well
as ourselves"
Bishop NJ. ]. Gallagher of Detroit,
who preceded De Valera. said:
I'VE will win Irish independence
with the aid of the democracy of
the labor party on England, which
has risen to overthrow the govern
ment and establish a real democracy
in which Irish independence is in
Guided"
De Valera said:
ut would be an act OF, despair in
Gods justice and goodness. if we
were to think our cause failure. In
order that Poland might be freed.
three mighty empires had to fall.
With the triumph before us no one
can feel that Ireland is going to fail.
1t may be necessary to have another
period of conflict and world strife to
change the old order, but it depends
on America whether that period will
be necessary.
THE present covenant of the
League of Nations is merely a modifi
cation of the old Holy Alliance. Ire
land demands her place in a real
League of Nations. We are said to
hate England, but the truth of it is
that the English hate us. / have nc
hatred for the English people.
1.-THE Irishman alone is as good as
any Englishman. Let them give us
military material and We will fight
them one to 10 and ask no one to helI
them out"
