Late Lord Mayors Sister Attempts to Put Americans Straight on Irish Problems-TeIIs of Lack of Educa- ton Over There.

Washington. Dec. S.-American aid for Irish independence can best be ex- erted through efforts to gain the truth about actual conditions, Miss Mary MacSwiney. sister of the late Lord Mayor of Cork, declared today before the commission of the Committee of 100 Investigating the Irish question.
 Miss MacSwiney was the first wit ness called when the commission re- stunned its hearings after an interrup ton of several weeks. It had been the plan to first examine Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney, widow of the lord mayor, but this was changed. Mrs. Mac Swiney, who arrived here last night with her sister-in-law, will be heard probably this afternoon.
 Miss MacSwiney told the commis- sion she had come to America to ''aid our friends in obtaining the facts about conditions in Ireland. She felt, she said, that most Americans were uniformed as to real conditions.
 No Sectarian Movement.
 Outside of Ireland, Miss Mac Swiney said. an impression prevails that the move for Irish independence is fostered by the Catholics. This she denied, asserting that Protestants and Catholics were equally represented in the movement.
 The system of education established in Ireland by the British was criticized by Miss MacSwiney, who declared that most of the people of Ireland do not know how to express themselves.
 ''These conditions with respect to education" she continued, "have made it possible for anti-Irish groups in England to say that the Irish citi- zens do not want independence. The difficulty is that long years of British domination have not permitted the Irish as a people to develop mentally"
 Defends Sim Fein.
 Miss MacSwiney gave a historical account of the development of the Sim Fein and of what she described as attempts of the British officials to destroy the sentiment.
 The Sim Fein, she said, has been interpreted in some places outside of Ireland. M
 ''It simply is a phrase meaning ourselves she explained. Ut is a policy just as you have your republi- can or democratic policies
 Miss MacSwiney told of the activi- ties of her brother, the lord mayor, in aiding the development of Irish in dustries. She said he founded the original industrial development league and was responsible for sending out consul generals to many lands.
 Says U. S. Helps England.
 Miss Mac.winey declared that America has not made the world safe for democracy but has made it safe only for a short time and especially there will be other troubles
 You have she he'd the sword when England got whas she wanted" Mis7 MacSwiney declared The world has been made safe for a little while, but when England gets control of all oil, all coal and all else that she wants there will be other troubles"
