D~Iscouraoing for Lawyers.
About twenty years ago there were

the prisoner could answer-"You must
be guilty. If you were not guilty they
wouldn't be bringing you in here"
Only once has crime reared its n.y.

So far, Benny Leonard has been the

However,, interesting activities are
brewing in the bantam and heavy

TOO MANY YOUNG
MEN IN IRELAND
By RUSSELL BROWNING

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
CORK, Dec. 9.-"The trouble with
Ireland is that there are too many
young men," said Lord French. These
are about the only words Of the vice
roy that are quoted in Ireland. But
it is rare discussion Of Irish woes,
political or economic, where Lord
French's diagnosis is not commented
upon.
F Alderman, Liam de Roiste, Sim
'Fe;n Nj. +. for west Cork, and one OF
the leaders in the attempt to divorce
Ireland economically from England,
prefaced an interview with the United
Press with reference to Lord
French's statement. "Ireland has too
many young men," said Mr.. de Roiste,
"if the country is to be kept purely
agricultural and Irish industry handi-
capped by unfair British trade regula-
tions."
"For the moment" continued De
Roiste, "the majority of 1rishmen are
welded together in an endeavor to
throw off the British yoke. Labor is
found backing decree by Dali Fire
ann (Sinn Fein parliament), namely,
the order forbidding emigration,
which ON it's face in the present state
of industrial development is inimical
to their own interest.
. . "There is a surplus of labor that
cannot be used on the tiny farms and
that works to the disadvantage OF
trade unionism. If emigration is
completely restricted, it will mean the
saving to the motherland of 10000
young men who before the~war annu-
ally saided from the port of Queens
town for America.
