The Irish standard., 1919-10-11

President Wilson would stand as their
champion at the peace table. His
noble words gave the sons of Erin
hope.
"We are glad to fight the presi-
dent said, "for the rights Of nations,
great and small, and the privileges of
men everywhere to choose their way
of life and obedience"
These were his words when he was
urging forward the Irish blooded
Americans to fight on foreign soil.
The Irish people thought that "the
privileges Of men everywhere to
choose their way of life" included Ire
land, but they were wrong. There is
to be no privilege in Ireland under
the League of Nations to choose any
thing. Their only privilege is the
privilege of living within the en-
pire" and being the subjects of for
eiyn prince.
1t is unnecessary to restate the
cause Of Ireland. Many times the
world has read the wretched fate of
that unhappy land. The question is
simple. Has England right to rule
Ireland? II she has, her right is based
upon some other principle than the
consent of the governed" If she has
the right the controversy is closed.
Ii she has not the right then the in
dignation of the world should rise up
and Overwhelm the arm of oppression.
a great campaign is being waged
for the ratification of the League of
Nations. The only barrier that stands
todav between Ireland and oblivion is
the United States senate. The sigma
ture of the American senate to the
League of Nations sounds the doom
of ireland The requiem should then
be sung. After that tradition will tell
the tragedy. The Irish nation will be
extinct. The Irish language will be
dumb. Irish heroes will pass into
fable, Irish valor will be unsung and
the Celtic people will be scattered
like the Jewish races, to the four cor
ners of the earth. Ireland will then be
an alien land to the Celts as Palestine
Is today to the Jews.
1t is useless to retell the struggles of
Ireland; useless to recount her heroes,
her champions, her patriots, her mar
tyrs, her ambitions, her virtues, her
woes. From Brian Boru to Daniel
O'Connell, the children of the Gael
have struggled for the cause of liber-
ty. Struggled against the Norsemen;
struggled against England. They
struggle yet. Perhaps this is the last
struggle. But whether they win or
lose the fight has been magnificent,
And the world must bow to the bold,
brave, open hearted, impulsive, tena-
cions, liberty loving, unconquerable
sons of Erin's Isle

Great Convention Declares for Self
Determination.

On September 13, J. H. Thomas, M.
p, chairman of the rail unions and
the Trades Union Parliamentary Com
mittee, speaking at Glasgow, before
the Trades Union Congress represent
ing 5000, 900 British workmen said:
Unions and ireland.
"The delegates to this congress will
be shirking their duty when they know
what is occurring in Ireland, if, as trade
unionists, they do not record their
opinion. ireland is today a mere
armed camp. The situation has not
changed since IL years ago, when John
Redmond demanded justice for Ire
land. He was ignored and refused.
AS consequence the people of Ire
land believe there is no intention on
the part of England to give them JUS
tice. When they remember how their
u1Su gave up Iuc1l l1tSS III lhC uOACAoS
of small nationalities it surely is
reflection upon them that England is
governing Ireland by militarism and
not by common sense and justice.
unless the Irish problem is settled
it must inevitably lead to strained re-
lations with other countries. We are
fighting for justice for other nations
and denying justice to the Irish.
LET us make the only appeal we
can; namely, justice for Ireland. The
only Justice is self-determination, al
lowing the Irish to work out their own
destiny"
Then Robert Smile of the Miners
Union declared.
"The Home Rule bill has been
passed by the house of commons, still
Ireland is kept down by the guns and
bayonets of the British nation. Sup
The Irish standard., 1919-10-11

Perhaps President Wilson does not
consider Ireland nation. Ireland not
a nation? What is nation? Does
intelligence make nation? Do prog
ress, learning, integrity, valor, patri-
otism, Christianity and the love of
liberty make a nation? If these make
a nation then Ireland is nation; for
in these respects the Celtic people far
surpass all the races Of the newly
erected states of Europe.
Does size make nation? Then Ire
land is a nation, for Ireland is larger
than either Belgium, Holland, Greece,
Serbia or Montenegro. 1t is larger
than Belgium, Holland and Monte
negro combined. It is larger than
Serbia and Belgium combined. 1t is
three times the size of Belgium, and
Belgium is the nation whose woes
reused the remonstrance of the world.
Belgium is the nation that President
Wilson insisted Germany restore to
statehood without any attempt to
limit the sovereignty which she en-
joys in common with all other free
nations"
The Rights Of ireland.
But why should Germany restore
the sovereignty of Belgium and Eng
land strangle the sovereignty of Ire
land? Are not the Irish people more
closely bound together by ties of COM
mon blood and language than the Bel
gians? Are they not as progressive
and enlightened and humane and val
orous and patriotic as the Belgians?
Are the frontiers of their domains less
definite than the dubious borders of
Belgium?
Then why is Ireland not nation If
Belgium is nation? Why is she not
nation if Poland is nation? Why
are the rights of the Walloons more
sacred than the rights of the Irish?
Why are the rights of the Poles more
holy than those of the Celts? Poland
has been extinct for ages. Belgium
has enjoyed independent sovereignty
less than 80 years. In the year 1900,
before the Irish Parliament was be-
fouled by British bribery, Ireland en-
joyed legislative independence and
had population of more than 100000
people. At that time Belgium was one
of the pigmy provinces Of Napoleon
the Great. But President Wilson de-
clared on January 8, 1918, that unless
