Ireland S Burden Of
Taxation rotested

The only thing you offer us for this
tremendous burden is an army of oc-
cupation of 100000 soldiers. The rep
resentatives of the people have no
more to say to the affairs of their own
country than they have in the affairs
Of China. Much as you despise Ire
land and assail her at home, and mis-
represent her abroad you have the
brazenness to come to this House and
add ten millions to the burdens she
has already to pay for her connection
with this country.
What Ireland Gets.
Continuing Mr. Devlin asked what
had Ireland received for all this Hous-
ing Bills had been introduced for Eng
land and Scotland. Money is lavished
on education for England and Scotland,
but not one of these has been men-
toned for Ireland. Ireland did not
want the English Parliament to deal
with these questions. Ireland
could deal with them herself, but she
is not allowed. "The only thing you
do" he added, els to impose an al
most impossible fiscal burden of taxa
tion, an army of occupation, courts
martial, the disappearance of constitu-
tional forms of government, oppres-
sion, suppression of public liberty.
That is what Ireland gets. You get
your taxes, and your treatment Of Ire
land is stigma to the British name,
and you are held up to the scorn and
ridicule of the whole world'
These and other transactions, said
Mr.. Devlin, are driving every moder-
ate man with any constitutional in
stincts into the camp of the extreme
party in Ireland II want to say" he
continued, that it seems to me that
the only thing we should do in Ire
land is to go to the hillside. If that
is your policy you ought to declare it

In letter read Sunday, June 1, in
all the churches of the Diocese of De-
troit, His Lordship, Right Rev:
Michael ]. Gallagher denounced the
proposed League of Nations in no un-
certain terms. The Bishops letter fol-
lows:
"Rev.~ Dear Father:
"a grave crisis has been reached
in the struggle for Irish freedom. The
proposed League of Nations would de-
stroy all hope of the liberation of Ire
land from her century-long enslave-
ment by guaranteeing all the power
of the League, which includes that of
the United States, to prevent the
Irish from receiving any help in their
efforts to achieve independence. This
condemns Ireland to perpetual servi-
tude under the iron heel of the ruth
less Sasenach. AS the Irish are the
only white race denied the boon of
liberty, the Peace Conference at
tempts to brand men of Irish blood
with the stigma of inferiority and
ld-contempt, as not entitled to or
dinary human rights and liberties ac-
corded to every other nationality.

fact that America fought the war to

II higher education isn't a part Of

knights of Columbus are devoting
their time and great deal of their

war with Germany was thought of, at
any rate in this country, the Knights
raised $550,00O among their own mem.

to take post graduate courses in arts,
philosophy, engineering, etc. Already
the number of graduates from this en-.
dowment goes over the $50 mark, with
