of a political nature, 88 members OF

"with the profound conviction that
further wars and acts of war should
be avoided and believing that whole
sale arrests without arraignment OF
trial disturb the peace and tranquil
lily of a people. are destructive OF
human rights, and are at variance
with that principle of liberty which
is embodied N the United States

person shall be deprived of life, lib
erty or property without due process
of law" the undersigned Members of
Congress of the United States OF
America protest against further irl-
prisonment without arraignment or
.,fial of persons resident in Ireland for
acts of political nature; and fe' ask
in the spirit of American freedom and
love of Justice, out of our friendlineSs
10 the peoples of England and Ireland
and in the name of international
peace, that, hereafter, il arrests bas-
ed upon acts of political nature are
made in Ireland, by color of any form
of authority, the right of trial shall
without unreasonable delay be accord
ed to the accused"

ton introduced two weeks ago by Con-
gtessman Peter F. Tague, of Mass,

twenty congressman who conferred
with Secretary of State Colby, asking
that the State Department seek some
form of relief for those held in prison
without arraignment or trial. Sec
rotary Colby has not yet determined
what action if any he will take.
