Whlrlwlnd Campaign to Be Made for
American Recognition Of Irish Re-
public.

An intensive campaign in favor Of
American recognition of the elected
government Of the Republic Of Ireland
is to be launched in every Southern
state early in, April, 1t was announced
in Washington recently by the Friends
of Irish Freedom National Bureau.
President De Valera accompanied by
several prominent speakers, will begin
whirlwind tour on April 8. The
itinerary includes Virginia, the Caro-
linas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Ar
kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. -
The plan employed in routing the
trip through the South has been to
have the party travel in two distinct
loops. The strain of daily receptions
and addresses has been found SO
great that a short interval between
the two sections of the coming tour
has been allowed to grant some
respite in. the terrific ordeal.
Chief among the speakers to &C
company President De Valera will be
Rev. DR.. J. A. H. Irwin, a noted Pres
byterian clergyman from Belfast.

OLD MONASTERY ON SPANISH,
"PlkE's PEAK"

Perched on a dizzy height high up
on the pixies Peak" of Spain is an
old time monastery which has done
much to contribute to the fame Of
this place of natural splendor and
thrill. It is Montserrat, an elevation
high on this noted Spanish mountain,
and it has not only an interesting
history, but modern touch as we'll.
The monastery was founded long
ago. When the Benedictine monks
first came to Spain there were num-
ber of hermfts among them, It is re-
lated. These often built cells near
that of brother monk whom they
recognized as a leader. Later they
came to live in monasteries. Remains
Of what is reputed to be hermftages
may be found today at Montserrat.
In the old days princes made long
pilgrfmages to pay devotion at the
mountain shrine. The monastery fs
now modernized up to the minute. =
A railroad goes up the face Of the
mountain, and the monastery is
equipped with electricity and the tele-
phone.

changeable picture that was the St.
Patrick's Day parade of 1920 pa
rade in which $4,000 men, women and
children of Irish birth or descent and
of many other nationalities registered
their fixed determination that ireland
shall be free"
There was a menace in the march
ing feet-menace for the impudent au.
tocracy that is still defiant of the
moral sense OF the world and still
stubbornly prevents Ireland's entry
into the sisterhood Of free nations.
Recognition of this spirit was easily
seen in the scholarly countenance Of
the bare-headed man who stood dur.
ing the entire course of the demonstra
tion in the front row of the little re-
viewing stand nestled close to the
stone wall Of the great Cathedral
Surrounded by notables of Church and
State, this man was easily the out
standing figure of the pageant.
For it was to Eamonn de Valera
president of the Republic of Ireland, to
whom the marching hosts did honor
And as each respectful salute, whether
it came from a band of school children
in the picturesque garb of ancient Ire
land or from strong men and women
of Celtic or other descent, the tall
Lincolnesque figure on the stand seem
ed to gain in dignity and the craven
marble of his brow become more i'm
pressive.
At President de Valera's right was
John F. Hylan, Irish American Mayor
Of New York, at his left Governor
Smith and His Grace Archbishop Pat
rick J. Hayes. Nearby sat other not
able figures in 1reland's fight for free
dom, the venerable John w. Golf, Pat
rick lyman and others.

Then came the war. ....
Six weeks after war was declared,
on September 18, the King affixed his
signature to the Home Rule act and
it went on the statutes; but, with the
war on, an excuse was offered and the
operation of the act was deferred by
an Order in Council for year.
Since that time the operation of the
act has been deferred several times,
at periods ranging from six months
to year.
The Irish Nationalist party, looking
on. these postponements as being
caused by the war, held that the act
would go into effect as soon as peace
came. Some time afterwards, how.
ever, the Chief Secretary for ireland
announced that he had been advised
that this would not be the case.

Some time later, when Premier AS

Story Of Home Rule Bills Reveals
Britain Has Ruled by DupIicity As
Well AS BY Force Of Arms.

There never has been generation
in the last seven centuries of history
since Henry II first conquered Ire
land-that the Irish people have not
protested against British Imperialism
and fought for freedom from British
exploitation.
By military force, bribery, diplo-
matte chicanery, hypocrisy and du-
plicity, Britain through all this time
has held the Irish people in subjec-
tion, exploited their land and made
serfs of them to the enrichment of the
English political and commercial
kings.
In the emergency of class-conscious-
ness and labor solidarity in these
times, however, with the impetus Of
sympathies of workers throughout the
world, and particularly those of Brit
ain, the people Of Ireland now hold
the hope of soon living under their
own government-the republic for
which they have unanimously voted,
and which is now being held by the
British military Intervention.
Compromise Expected.
In all the agitation for and the at
tempts to get home rule for Ireland
British duplicity and force have inter-
vened, and now that Ireland is about
to establish its own republic, a COM
promise under the Home Rule act is
expected.
The Home Rule act as it now stands,
with a few slight changes, was intro
duced in Parliament in 1912. On its
third reading it was vetoed by the
House of Lords. In 1913 it was again
vetoed on it's third reading by the
House of Lords, and on it's third intro
duction, in 1914, when It reached its
third reading, the House of Lords was
without power to veto it and it was
ready for the signature of the King.
But the King saw opportunities for
delay, II, not contravention, and in
stead Of afixing his signature he called
conference in Buckingham Palace.
This was in the third week of July.
