FREE IRELAND URGED
BY REV. DIR. POWERS
Emerald Isle Oppressed by British
For Centuries. Declares Uni
yersalist Pastor.

In his sermon on what About Ire
land?" the Rev. DR.. l.. NJ. Powers, of
the Universalist Church, last night
declared that self-determination for
that country was the only solution OF
the Irish question.
"Granted the right OF self-deter-
mination, said DR.. Powers, "in a few
years Ireland would be one of the
most prosperous and loyal states in
the British empire, for no matter
what the extremists may say, geo.
graphic and economic interests have
decided that Ireland must cooperate
with her nearest neighbors in prob
lens that of necessity must be COM
mon problems.
"The only people who have profited
by 'England's Irish policy are the
office holders, the grafters, and the
absentee landlords. and the only solu-
tion is to grant Ireland the right OF
self-determination. No one ac-
quainted with history can deny that
the conquest and occupation of Ire
land is a story Of long continued per-
fidy and injustice. Even today $l30,-
600, 900 a year is being taken in rents
and taxation, from which the coun-
try receives no benefits.
The police force in Ireland, known
as the Irish constabulary.' continued
DIR. Powers, 'is needlessly large in
numbers and cost. English manage
ment OF the Irish question has kept
ireland poor and dissatisfied, and has
been a weakness of the British en-
pire. During the war, when soldiers
were needed most on the Continent.
England kept 10000 all the time in
Ireland"
The speaker pointed out that re-
ligious differences in Ireland were
dying out with the cooperation in
industry OF both Catholics and
Protcstants.
"a large number OF the Irish have
decided" concluded the speaker,
"that IL they must fight, II is better
to fight for themselves than for their
enemies"

Congressional leaders are today
looking 20 the American banks to

Cry Axai.st War Taxes.
Already there is popular cry
against the war taxes, and to make
new taxes would bring storm OF
protest against Congress that would
be reflected in the elections. The
same holds practically true OF new

not feel THAT the public wants an
other bond issue.

veteran OF the House Ways and
Means Committee, today. Facing us
ip the next fiscal year we see expendi-
lures piling up to huge total of ap-
proximately $4,000. 900, 900. We know
that revenues from all sources under
existing laws will not exceed In all
probability $4,000, 900, 900. There Is a
certain deficit of about $4,000, ,000, 900
facing the Government.
,"The Government must make up
this deficit in some way. Ways open
are by increased taxes and new
taxes, bond issue, or short-term
Treasury certificates sold. to banks.
But the banks may be unable TO lend
TO the Government all the money 1t
needs.
Expenses Easily Traced.
"Our huge annual expenditures are
easily traced. The interest payments
on the vast war debt and the sinking
fund run far over billion dollars a
year. or more than the pre-war an
nual total cost OF providing for the
Government. We have increased Gov
ernment salaries. military pay, and
pensions until the total needed now
to take care Of these increases is
huge. And the end of these increases
Is not in sight.
I'VE are delaying internal and
other necessary improvements until
necessity will come for huge appro-
priations to take care of them. Many
heavy war expenditures still con-
continue, and payments for war work
remain to be made. War risk in
surance is a heavy dr. ain on the Treas
ury. There are many other large
items So the financial difficulties OF
this Government must be apparent
