RESOLUTIONS


 At a mass meeting held in the Park Theatre, Bridgeport, Conn, April 20, 1919, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:-
 Whereas, The question of self-de- termination for small natiOnalities is now engaging the attention of the Peace Conference at Versailles; and
 Whereas. National realignme ents are heing made on the basis of racial units, new nations being formed par ticularly of those races. like the Poles and Czecho- -SOval1s, that have been struggling to regain their lost inde- pendent sovereignty; and
 Whereas, America through it's spokesman. President Wilson, has con- sttuted itself the advocate and cham p1on of all small natiOnalities and racial units that assert their right to self-deternnintion a---l the restoration of their independent sovereignty; and
 Whereas. Ireland is a nation and a separate unit that has never surren- dered its nationhood at any period of its existence since first it was robbed of it's indeDendence through force and fraud: and is now more than ever claiming it's right to determine and control it's own national destinies; therefore, be it
 Resolved. That We citizens of Bridgeport, in mass meeting assem- bled, do hold America to its obliga- ton to include Ireland among the small nations, whose independence it went into the world war to restore, and that we ask President Wilson and Americas representatives in the Peace Conference to use every influ- ence and every means at their com mand to bring Ireland's case to the favorable attention of the Conference; {; and be it further
 Resolved. That we shall hold the war to have been fought in vain and without result if Americas ideal of self- determination shall be denied to Ireland alone among all the nations that are striving to reach the surface and live their own national life in their own way; and, be it still furth CT
 Resolved, That a copy of these res c1utions be forwarded to the State Departrn ert at Washinton for trans mission to President Wilson at Paris, and also to the delegation from the Irish Race Convention-Hon. Frank r. Walsh, Hon. Edward F. Dun1Se and Michael J. Ryan-as a testimony that the Irish race and lovers of liberty generally in Bridgeport are with them in every effort they make and every method they employ to secure elf-deternlination for the Irish peo- pie in Ireland. a*

Paris, April "A Lloyd George, who had a long conference with Pre- mfer Orlando during the forenoon, went to President Wilson's Paris resi- dence directly afterward. As he reached the White House. he re- marked:
 ''The Italians will not leave today
 There was no explanation of how the situation stood beyond the brief remark quoted. Whether the British premier meant that the entire Italian delegation would not go, or whether he had succeeded in inducing Premier Orlando to remain, was not develop ed.
 MT. Lloyd Georges declaration, however. was construed as lndicat- ing slight improvement in the situ- ation.

(Continued from Page One)

Rome adviCes report an imposing demonstration in that city in support of Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister SonninO, during which the American, British and French embas- sies were guarded by troops ito avoid possible incidents.'
 Paris despatches late last night de- cIaCed that President Wilson's state ment had the approval of Premiers Lloyd George and CIemenceau.
 The arrival of the German peace delegation at Versailles has again been delayed, it being announced of ficially that the Germans will not be on the scene of the peace congress until May l. It is declared that this additional delay is not unwelcome to the Allied and associated governments as there are many minor points which still must be cleared up before the final draft of the treaty is ready for presentation. The Italian crisis will also tend to retard the framing of the convention which the Germans will be asked to sign.
 A further setback for the Russian BoIsheviki has occurred in the Ukraine where Kiev, the capital, has been wrested from them by Ukrain- ian revolutionists friendly to General Petlura, the Ukrainian anti-BOlsheVilI leader.
 The situation in Hungary is still shrouded in uncertainty. Reports as to conditions there are contradic-
 tory, one saying that the Rumanian advance from the east is progressing
 and that Czech forces are quite near Budapest, while another states that the Rumanians have been checked and that the Soviet regime is in full
 control of the situation.
 Mexico, it is officially announced, has recalled Alberto J. Pani, her minister to France, and is rumored that the Mexican representative at Rome also will be called home. The inability of Senor Pani to present his l credentials to the French govern ment, although he has been in
 Paris since last December, is given as the reason for Mexico's action rel alive to France. Mexico also de- clares that she will not recognize the Monroe Doctrine.
