BRITISH RESENT
U. S. AID TO IRISH
Question Is Raised During Debate
in the House of
Commons.
GREAT BITTERNESS IS SHOWN
Horatio Bottomley Asks Whether Gov,
eminent Knew of Honor. Being
Conferred on De Valera, "Pres-
ident of Irish Republic"

London, May 1O.-The subject of the
support given to the Irish republic"
by some persons id the United States
came up in the commons. Horatio
BotfOmley asked whether the govern
ment was aware that appeals for SUBJ
scriptions for bonds addressed by De
Valera as president of the Irish re-
public" were still appearing in Ameri-
can newspapers and were supported
by the governors of various states,
and whether Great Britain proposed
to make representations on the mat
ter to President Wilson.
Mr.. Bonar Law, replying in behalf
of the government, said it was UNDER
stood that such appeals were still app
pearing in certain American papers,
but he was not in a position to say
whether they were supported by any
governor
Great Britain, he added, was not
prepared to make representations.
Mr.. Bottomley asked whether Mr..
Law had seen the announcement that
already f2,000,000 had been subscribed
to this fund and that triumphant pro-
cessiOns had gone through the prin-
cipal streets of the United States in
Valera had been entertained by state
governors. He asked if Mr.. Bonar Law
did not consider that in international
law this amounted to an unfriendly
act.
The government leader said he had
not seen statement Of the specific
facts named, but it did not alter his
view regarding Great Britain's right
course, namely, that it was not always
wise to take action to which a coun-
try had the legal right
Capt. William Wedgewood Benn
wanted to know whether the govern
lnent would take steps to halt the ma
1icious campaign which, he declared,
was destroying the friendly relations
between this country and the United
States. To this Mr.. Bonar Law did
not reply.
Robert Burton Chadwick asked
whether Mr.. Bonar Law was aware
that "the outlaw" was recently hon-
pred with the freedom of New Orleans
and whether any representations had
been made TO the United States in the
face of "this deliberate insult by an
ostensibly friendly power"
Mr.. Bonar Law answered that he
was satisfied the good feeling of the
United States was not represented at
all by such. demonstrations and he
did not believe that any action the
British government could take against
them would have any other effect than
to make the relations worse.
In debate in the house of lords
Baron Birkenhead, lord high chancel-
Tor, on behalf of the government, said
it was intended to continue the policy
q giving to the Irish executive all
possible assistance and support.
He added that in no conceivable
circumstances would the government
concede the demands OF the Sim
Fein.
Every single motive which led the
United States to resist the attempt at
secession would operate with even
greater force to determine this coun-
try" said the chancellor, and he would
remind the Sim Feiners that the race
which had resisted the might of the
German empire would not yield to a
section Of desperate people in Ire
land.
