america MUST AID IRELAND
SAYS NOTED CHICAGO LAWYEA
(By Patrick H. O'Donnell.)

(By Patrick H. O'Donnell.)
The political situation in Ireland is
not an Irish question nearly so much
as it is an American question.
America is bound to settle this
Irish question at the peace confer
ence IL she is to maintain her moral
supremacy among the nations, and
that moral supremacy of America has
builded up SO many republics, and
has extended freedom so broadly on
both hemispheres, that it cannot be
abandoned even though the contest
at the peace conference is sharp and
the opposition to American ideals
powerful. ....
Fl ireland Comes First.
America has declared for the self
determination Of small nations, and
under the world facts, Ireland must
receive that benefit first of all, and
without limitation or restraint. The
reason is manifest. Self-determina.
ton already has, been conceded to
Schleswig, Alsace-Lorraine, Poland,
Bohemia, Finland and Hungary. These
have become new nations, or parts of
other nations, by their own choice
and election.
Poland returned from her old mas
ters and became a united nationality;
Alsace-Lorraine returned to France;
Schleswig to Denmark and so on.
How did these nationalities earn
the independence and freedom they
are getting?
Parts Of Central Powers.
They were all provinces and parts
of the central powers, and while such
they marshalled their soldiers, sup.
Piled the revenues, gave the rulers
and were led by the commanders OF
their own races that made war on the
allies and directly against the United
States.
We have readily granted the right
of self-determination to all these
people, and justly so. 1t is the loft.
lest standard that America has ever
borne to give benefit to her enemies.
But what is the case with Ireland? /?
She. too, has been oppressed beyond
any Of these.
DreIand's Part In War.
The Irish standard., 1919-02-08

The great French Premier knew
what could be accomplished for peace
and for France by balance of power
but the peace possibilities under a
League of Nations were unknown.
Up to the present the League OF
Nations is unexplained.
And that is perhaps the chief rea.
son why, to please President Wilson,
the other great powers have consented
to consider it in connection with the
final treaty of peace.
The Sim Fein programme will
about end the League of Nations.
For if ever there was case in
which the so-called self-determination
of small nations might be permitted,
and, indeed, guaranteed by the great
powers who have acceded to Presi-
dent Wilson's fourteen points as the
basis for a permanent peace of the
world, it is furnished by Ireland.
Ireland has been ruled against her
will for 700 years.
That is conceded on all sides. Eng.
lands sway in that country has been
maintained by armed force, and
scarcely generation went by without
an armed rebellious protest on the
part of Ireland. But it was thirty
millions against ten millions, and is
now forty millions against five mil
lions.
England has a large, strongly armed
garrison in Ireland.
How hopeless an appeal to arms on
the part of the Irish in Ireland is was
shown in the rebellion of two years
ago, which was put down in little
more than a week, but, nevertheless,
revived the national spirit throughout
the land and made it more vigorous
than ever. .....
Then there was the recent Parlia.
mentary election.
Held under the most adverse cir.
cumstances, as far as the Sim Fein.
ers were concerned, yet they fairly
swamped their opponents, who favor
the continuation of English rule.

Soldiers in Trenches
Don't Hate Germans

| In the invaded territory of France
we found plenty of evidence of harsh
military occupation. 1t was bad at
Its best, and some local commanders
made it more intolerable. The peo-
pie were taxed without much to show
for their money, forced to work for
little. or no pay, rationed rather slen.

strength, had to put up with requisi-
tions of animals, houses and some
minor property, such as linen and cop
per down to the brass knobs off the
stoves. They were also dragooned
about to various places to do work
for Germany. 1t all makes an Ameri-
cans blood boil.
"On the credit of the German &C.
count ! shall say that after the first
onslaught of wanton killing heard of
no case of assault upon women or of
mutilation. On the very eastern bor-
der of France, however, and in South
Belgium, through which we crossed,
/ heard plenty of tales of such strong
and, fully believe, often unwarrant-
ed measures. 1t must have been hell
in Belgian towns the first week or
two the Germans were there. Then
there came sudden change, and Bel
GUM has had vastly better treatment
than the French.
"The townspeople suffered, but the
farmers all got rich on the prices the
Germans paid; rich, that is, in money,
though with no fat living while the
war was on, and with only German
marks in the old woolen stocking now
that 1t Is over. can't sympathize
with them. They are a rapacious lot.
The French and Belgians tell me
though some other suspicious to the
contrary that the Germans were
strict about seeing that nobody took

that all Germans were robbers, for

When this war broke out her SOL
diers were already enlisted men in
the English navy and English army
and went with the first. Her leaders
called for volunteers, and one man
rallied 100000 to this war, and while
it was in progress Ireland gave So per
cent Of her man power to this struggle
and all Of them willingly and without
conscription.
She sent more produce to feed Eng
land last year than was shipped to
her from all the rest of the world.
She planted 100000 extra acres of
potatoes to supply the American SOL
diers as they went over there. She
has a dead or wounded soldier for
each home in Ireland.
With the American Flag.
Not an 1rishman bore arms against
the American flag (but every Irish
man that could go was with that flag
and with the standard of the allied
armies.
If America fails in placing her high
declarations into concrete law and es-
tablish Ireland's freedom and make
| her a nation, then history must say
that we failed in this war, as we
failed to accomplish our noblest pur-
pose, and history will record that we
bestowed our favors upon our enemies
and deserted our friends.
Ireland has natural boundaries; has
had a fixed civilization and govern
ment for centuries; has the resources
of nationhood and is in the most ad-
vanced position for international trade
of any country on earth.
l expect America to fulfill the hopes
of the world by making Ireland an in
dependent nation.

If England is willing the delegates
appointed by the Sim Fein Parlia-
ment in Ireland be received by the
Peace Conference in Paris and per-
mitted to offer it's consideration their
plea for self-determination, then, in
deed, she may be said to be in favor
of the League of Nations upon which
such great store is set by President
Wilson; but. if England distinctly and
absolutely refuses such consent on the
ground that any consideration of the
matter by the Peace Conference
would be unwarranted interference
with the internal management of her
own state affairs, then there should
be an end to this League of Nations
talk, which, it must be remembered,
has not had the hearty and unquali-
fed approval of any of the five great
powers which won the world war and
from the nucleus of the Peace Confer
ence.
League of Nations.
President Wilson is the originator
of the plan, and what acquiescence
was given to it by the other powers
was mainly owing to his propaganda.
At best it was vague consent.
From the very start England made
conditions.
If there was to be League of Ma
lions it must be first understood Eng
land was to have the largest navy in
the world, and If the seas were to be
policed in the interest of the League
she was to do the policing.
Clemenceau, for France, argued for
a balance of power.

THE CHAMBERS PROGRAM

TINE platform for the year an
nounced yesterday by the di-
rectors of the Chamber of Com
merce embraces a program COM
prehensive enough to keep the or
ganization intensely busy and in
elusive enough to satisfy even the
most ambitious. 1t is an admirable
summing up of Harrisburg's needs
and desires. 1t shows that those
who are directing the affairs OF the
Chamber have both vision and
purpose to serve. Already there are
signs that the directors mean to put
as many of their planks into practice
as is possible this year, and to go
seriously into those problems of
deeper import that. by their nature,
cannot be solved in n month, or even
a year.
The Chamber of Commerce has
done much in the nature of war
work. 1t has been the center of all
war fund activities, the headquar-
ters of the Liberty loan commit
tees, the Dauphin County Farm Bu-
eau and war garden work, and now
with a record of having gone over
the top in every one of these ef-
forts. it is turning it's attention seri-
ously to reconstruction, read1ust-
ment and the ways of peace. 1t Is
setting a good example for the rest
of us. 1t has not only outlined
program, but it is going right ahead
to put it into effect. The Chamber Is
doing what every businessman
should do-move forward eonhdent-
~, instead of halting and letting
business stagnate while waiting 1or
somebody else to lead the way

"Lest We Forget"


daily contact with Germans, who
are still our enemies.
We desire to remind the men of
the regiment that too open friend
ship towards the Germans now is
not at all in accordance with the
spirit in which we fought on the
Marine, at st. AFfhiel, and in the Ar
gonne. The Hun was tricky on the
battlefield. There has been no evil
dence of sudden reversal in his
mental attitude. Even now ne
doesn't admit he was beaten. Rather,
he explains the German catastrophe
of the past year as a misfortune due
to lack of food and the strategic
retreat" idea has not entirely disap-
peared.
THE American soldier has made
incalculable sacrifices. Home life,
business, everything worth while has
been left behind, and when the SOL
dier turns into the civilian once
more he will be confronted by in
creased taxation, for all of which
the Hun is responsible.
while we are in occupied terri
tory it behooves us to treat the
natives with polite mien. 1t isn't
necessary to assert brutal superior
ity, nor even an undue spirit of con-
descension; yet at the same time they
should be impressed by our mill
tary bearing and direct way of COM
ing to the point when occasion de-
mands, that Uncle Sam is not here
on a pleasure trip, but on business.
Handshaking with the Huns and
good soldering don't harmonize."

A POINTER FROM IDAHO

The repeal of the law which in
troduced the direct primary election
into the State of Idaho at the time
when it was a general fashion to
adopt that system, is another of the
indications of a growing reaction
against it in various states
The experience of Idaho in fail
ing TO make it a success has taken
place so often elsewhere that its
return to the delegate-convention
method of nominating all candi-
dates for State Office and for Con-
gress, is likely to facilitate other
movements in that direction.
Under the direct primary law In
Pennsylvania, for example, there
has been much of the same sort of
dissatisfaction and disappointments
over its results as have caused both
Republicans and Democrats IN
Idaho, a ten years trial, to aban-
don the system in their state affairs.
The average of fitness and fchar-
acter in nominees has not been
raised by it here; the power OF
politicians over their party organlza-
tions is pretty much the same ana
the expenditure of money has come
to be greater than it ever was.
AS it is now the bosses carry on
business under it quite as effectively
as they did at the stand, and prob
ably nowhere more to their satistac-
toin than in the primary election In
Philadelphia.
