WOMEN TESTIFY
Arraign Britain for Lack of Sincerity
 In Irish Policy
By Associated Press

Washington, December 21.--An ar raignment of the coalition government for what was described as fits lack of sincerity in it's policy towards Ire- land" was presented today by two English women to the commission of the committee of 100 Investigating the Irish squestion.
 Miss Eileen c. Wilkinson of Man chester, one of 10 women who in- vestigated conditions in Ireland for the Womens International league, de- clared that if referendum were taken it would be found that the mass of British opinion was not behind the government in it's present policy to- ward Ireland"
 Mrs. Annot E. Robinson, also of Man chester, joined her in the declaration that, while the British public hardly was ready to accept the Sim Fein plan of an Irish republic, Ireland can be won yet" if the government adopts a sincere policy. Both women indi- cated their belief that dominion home rule would prove the final solution of the Irish question.
 Little scraps of nations are opposed by the English as inviting Struggles between masters Miss Wilkinson said, adding that the fear of other powers using Ireland for military bases probably would prevent the Eng fish people from willingly accepting the complete severence from the united Kingdom. Both women told of the burning of homes and the destruc- ton of property in Ireland.
