Friends of Irish Freedom, of Topeka,
have asked Senators Capper and Cur
tbs in resolutions which were passed
by the branch Sunday to introduce

ton of the Irish republic without
straining the relations which exist at
present between this country and
Great Britain. The action of Great
Britain and of France in recognizing
the Confederate States of America

cited as proof that the United States
would be within it's rights i'm taking
such a step.
The resolutions are signed by the
president and secretary of the branch,
