clearer case for the application of the
principles for which the war was
fought than there is in the case of
Ireland.
A Nation in Chains.
Ireland, in repudiating all pretense
of right on the part of England to
legislate for that country, speaks more
eloquently to the world than her
ablest statesman could. A parliament
of the UNITED Kingdom from which
the Irish representatives voluntarily
absent themselves, shows clearly the
nature of the demand made by the ma.
ton. English Ministers have been
forced to admit that Ireland is held
by an Army of Occupation, and the
world wants to know the reason why
that should be so, if the war for the
freedom of small nations has been
won. The distinction of being the one

looking for outside assistance to save
her from a fall.
Sir Alfred Booth, the chairman of
the Cunard Company, stated at a
meeting of the company during the
week: I'VE appear to be heading
straight for national bankruptcy. y
Throughout the war the value of the
sovereign was maintained by govern
ment borrowings in America. Last
March it became necessary to let the
exchange go, while it was still neces-
sary to forbid the export of gold.
This means that our gold standard has
gone, and that the erstwhile financial
centre of the world now has to put
up with what is in effect an incon-
vertible paper currency which differs
only in degree from the fiat money Of
Bolshevik Russia. The labor situa.
ton today is so grave that it is idle
to ignore the fact that great civiliza.
tions have vanished in the past, and
the same thing may happen again"

''blitish Cabinet
Behind Carson"
Declares De valera-"Sir Edward De-
Of Britain" Says irish President.

New York, Sept. 6.-Eamonn De
Valera, President of the Irish Repub-
lie, in a statement issued yesterday
in reference to the new campaign
! against Home Rule, about to be start
ed by Sir Edward Carson, said:
"The Carson campaign is again
starting, on orders, as usual, from
the British Cabinet, which Carson
pops in and out of, according as the
occasion requires. He is once more
to relive the British Government of
its difficulties and, so far as he can,
furnish it with pretext for misrep-
resenting the true situation in Ire
land
Prof. De Valera said people should
not lose sight of the fact that out
of the 1,519,0OO votes cast in the last
general election in Ireland, only $685.
900 stood for union of Ireland and
England. He added:
"The Irish people do not ask Eng
land to settle the minority question
in Ireland. All the people of Ireland
want is that the British forces of occu-
patton leave the country.
"The British Government sustains
Carson because it is to the Govern
ment's interest that he should be sus-
tanned. They claim him as, and he
claims himself to be, a 'loyalists.' He
processes to acknowledge the suprem-
acy of British law, and this profession
entities him to set British law at de-
fiance whenever he chooses.
"But it would be mistake to think
that he is traitor or that either he
or the Gritish Government are incon-
sistent. This defiance of British law
by Carson is the purest act of loyalty
to the British Government that he
could perform.
Seeing that 1t is to the benefit Of
the British Government that British
!! law should be defied when that de-
fiance enables them to evade acts
they do not want to enforce, it is in
deed 'unthinkable' that those who
confer this benefit upon them should
be proceeded against as traitors to
Britain. AS long as Carson works
in the interests of the British Gov
ernment Carson will be immune.
More than that, he will be once again
richly rewarded for his timely serv-
ices.
"All Ireland asks England Ito do is
to leave Ireland to Irishmen. They
will have no more difficulty in adjust
ing their differences than have Ameri-
cans, once the power, whose interest
it is to promote these differences, has
departed"

SCOTLAND DESIRES ITS
RELEASE FROM ENGLAND

New York, Sept. s.-Scotland's g
right to self.determination and auton-
omy will be presented to the Foreign
Relations Committee in Washington
this week. A demand to this effect
was sent yesterday to Senator Lodge
by George j. Bruce, secretary of the
Highland Land League of Scotland
and head of the Bruce London News
Service:
Protest Made.
In his request for hearing, Mr.
Bruce said the Scottish National Com.
mittee, representing majority of con-
stituents of Scotland, prepared ma
tional memorial and protest against
Scotland being excluded from the
Peace Conference. The memorial, he
said, was presented to President Will
son, Premier Clemenceau and Lloyd
George, as we'll as to other members
Of the conference, and was favorably
commented upon in the European
press. But, like the Shantung issue,
the memorial was ignored at Paris.
AS a result Mr.. Bruce and Jesse A.
NIAGARA, of Edinburgh, were sent to the
United States in June to tour the coun-
try. Funds were solicited and poll
ticians and bankers consulted.
Ignored at Paris.
The memorial, which was ignored in
Paris and of which Mr.. Bruce was one
of the signers, will be brought to the
attention of the Foreign Relations
Committee. Continuing, Mr.. Bruce
said:

I'VE shall tell Senator Lodge we in

the large area of land taken from them
and held by English Mobiles.
"And we shall tell Senator Lodge
we expect to return and organize the
Highland Crofters as we'll as their

men as follows: Gentlemen, Amer
lea is willing to make immense sac
rifices to help you, but we are inter
ested primarily in war for democ
racy such as will result in world
peace. The secret treaties, which you
have until now concealed from the
American government, are undemo.
cratic and war-breeding; they seem to
provide for a renewal of European
conflicts, into which the United States
may again be drawn.
I'VE will, as I promised in my
speech of April 2, 1917, dedicate our
lives and our fortunes, everything we
are and everything that we have to
help you. But in return you must re-
lease each other from the secret
promises you have made, SO that we
may all sit at the peace table unbound
and as free men, with only one
thought in mind-to negotiate peace
consonant with the worlds needs.

The results of Mr.. Wilson's initial
ignorance and of his subsequent fail
ufe to act when he saw the pftfall to
which HIS ignorance had brought this
country have been literally stupen-
dous. To this ignorance and to this
neglect are directly traceable three
main results. First, the failure of the
Allies to revamp their war aims
drove Russia out of the war-Russfa,
which lost more men fighting Ger
many than any other two belliger-
ents.

President Wilson and
the Secret Treaties

Following his letter to Senator
Borah, of the Senate Foreign Rela.

in the press of the country, Amos
Pinchot has issued the following state.

Informed Mr.. Wilson would have held
all the winning cards. He could easily
have forced the Ally governments to
abandon the secret treaties already
made and pledge themselves to make
no more without this governments
consent This would have insured, at
the wars end, real peace confer
ence, honestly interested in making
an enlightened and lasting peace. In
which case we would have been spared
the spectacle of the fictitious peace
conference, to which the Ally repre-
sentatives came, not to make peace,
but to cash in on the secret contracts
already in pocket.
An informed Mr.. Wilson, vfgflant for
American interests, could, at almost
any time before Germany began to
crumble, have held the whip hand
over European and Asiatfc imperial
ism. Then the Allies needed our help
food money, arms and men. But at
the peace conference, when Mr.. VIII
son undertook to fight and almost Inn
medfately surrendered, they no longer
depended ON America. And they told
Mr.. Wilson so I'm actions that were
more eloquent than Mr.. Wilson's

Question Between
Ireland and England

Hon. Daniel F. Cohalan, Justice of
the Supreme Court, New York, COM
menting upon the Irish question, in a
statement issued from National Head
quarters of the Friends of Irish Free
dom, New York, said last evening:
IF the question between Ireland
and England were between two in
dividuals, no jury sitting in any part
of America would have any difficulty
in disposing of the matter. Ireland
does not ask anything of England ex-
cept to be left alone. She only wants
what belongs to her. She wants to
govern herself and her own people in
her own way, according to her own
standards. She does not ask one inch
of territory that is not contained with
in the four seas of Ireland. She does
not ask to impose her will upon a
single person who dwells beyond her
shores. She appeals to the free peo-
pies of the earth for the opportunity
to go her own way, in peace and har.
mony with all the rest of mankind.
She offers not only to forgive, but
as far as she can, even to forget past
dealings with England and to dwell in
peace and amity with England as a
neighbor.
But she refuses, as she has re-
fused for $50 yedrs. to permit the
stranger, England, to govern her, to
control her resources, to shut her of
from contact with the other nations
Of the earth, to keep her out of her
high place among the nations and she
says, with a voice of united people,
that as she has fought for $50 years
for her independence SO she is pre-
pared to fight, If necessary, as long

That England's failure to withdraw

the Irish Republic was stated to g
Register reporter Wednesday by
Frank p. Walsh who addressed the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
on 1reland's claims last Saturday.
"The presentation of Ireland's case
to the Senate Committee" said Mr.
Walsh, marks a genuine advance to
the goal of Irish independence.
"The final treaty making authority
of the most powerful nation in the
world, through whose influence alone
the peace of the world may be hoped
for, is now thoroughly advised of the
Irish situation.
"The Irish people are neither beg
ging or demanding their liberty from
any other government. And this in.
cludes England.
AFTER the signing of the armistice
by a solemn plebicite, held under all
the rigors of English law, Ireland de.
clared herself separate and distinct
nation; cut off all governmental ties,
which sought to bind her to England,
and now is prevented from carrying
on her governmental affairs, including
the despatch of ambassadors and
other diplomatic agents, to other gov.

THE new MOVE IN IRELAND

(From the Liverpool Catholic Herald)
Ireland has for three years splen.
didly withstood the policy Of the
mailed fist. That policy has failed as
completely as we said it would. 1t
will be a tougher task to meet and
beat the policy of the honeyed word
now being inaugurated, but Sim Fein
will beat that as effectually as it has
beaten the policy that has failed. The
new offensive will be harder to beat,
because it is so insidious.
The government showed that they
did not realize the new spirit of Ire
land when they threw down the
gauntlet to Sim Fein. Unless" they
said in effect, ireland abandons Sim
Fein and becomes more reasonable
we shall do nothing for Ireland"
They were thinking in the terms of
the generation that has. passed, when
ireland, because of the slavish policy
of looking for justice and mercy where
there was none to be had, protested
her good will and showed her good
behavior as an argument for having
her shackles relaxed. The enemy did
not measure the, grand change that
had taken place in the soul of the
nation; they did not see that the
welter of the world war opened Ire
lands eyes to the simple fact that If
ireland had to give surety for her
good behavior it certainly was. not to
England that the surety had to be
given.
"sincere Good Will Towards Ireland"
Having failed to coerce Ireland into
throwing away the most efficient
weapon she has yet held, the British
government is attempting to beguile
her into doing 80. 1t realizes now
that the Home Rule Bill of 1914 would
be a small price to pay for the re-
subjugation of the country. The Lon
don Times, which boasted seventy
years ago that the Celt was going with
a vengeance, now. protests that the
attitude of England "is inspired by
full and sincere good will towards Ire
land, the Irish people in Ireland, and
the Irish race the world over"
This attitude will deceive no Irish
Nationalist. We can derive some
comfort from the fact that the Prince
of Lies is would-be saint only when
he suffers from some dire ailment.
The ailment he suffers from at pres.
ent is his gradual isolation in the pub
lie opinion of the world. That public
opinion is turning more surely every
day into the fixed conviction that the
past i've years agony has been suf-
fered in vain If the cause of the agony
is allowed to remain. In the relative
position of Ireland and England, they
see a continuance Of the system which
the war was to end. The people

the politicians had in their minds. On

England, with all her power, with all
her barbarity, cannot destroy them or

Ireland and leave that country, which
she has been robbing for centuries,

every form of cruelty, of tyranny in

Irish Republic
Gaining Favor

Steadily increasing support for the
cause of the Irish Republic among
Americans of all creeds and classes
is reported by the Rev. James Graf
tan Mythen, an Episcopalian clergy
man who has recently completed sew
eral speaking tours in the interest
of Irish freedom. The outstanding
impressions received" said DR.. My.
then, ARE, first, that it is sound Amer.
ican doctrine to demand the applica-
tion of the principle of self-determina-
tion to nations held in unwilling sub.
lection by our associates in the late
war as well as to peoples formerly
enslaved by the Central Empires; and
second, that the theory of the Irish
question as a religious issue is re.
ceiving its death blow at the hands
of American Protestants."
DIR. Mythen is Assistant Minister
of Christ Episcopal Church, Norfolk,
Va, and Minister i'll charge of the Com.
munity Church, undenominational
Baltimore, where he has the largest
congregation in the country. Volun.
teering as Chaplain when America
entered the war, he saw service abroad
till the armistice was signed. He is
powerful orator, and his statement
of 1reland's case before the Irish Race
Convention In D1,i1 lplr
ington's birthday, electrified his audi
ence, including Cardinal Gibbons and
many other Catholic dignitaries. His
recent itinerary carried him through
dozen Western states as we'll as
New England, New York and Penn
sylvania, and everywhere he reports
whole-heatrted, enthusiasm for the
Irish cause among Americans who
are not of Irish blood and very no.
tably among strongly Protestant sec.
tions. Ministers warmly seconded his
advocacy of the application of Amer.
ica's war aims to Ireland, and the only
exception to this rule was found to
be an unnaturalized British subject.
"The so-called religious issue in
Ireland" said DR.. Mythen, "is moth.
ing but common political trick by
which English militarism seeks to JUS
tify its rule of might in that country.
1t aims to SOW dissention among nat
urally tolerant and amiable people,
and to exaggerate that dissention a

Yet the masses of Catholic Irishmen
have repeatedly followed Protestant
leaders like Dean Swift, Henry Graf

other hand the last election proved
that Protestants give equal confidence
