British Seek Basis
Settlement With Sim Fein

Dublin. July 21-Induiry concerning
the report that the Sim Fem and the
British government are prepared to
discuss the basis Of settlement Of
the Irish question, disclosed today
that an eminent ecclesiastic with i'm
portant Sim Fein connections tn
formed friends that he had received
a communication. with credentials
which satisfied him, that it had eman-
ated from the cabinet. This he sub
mitted to Arthur Griffith, founder Of
the Sim Fem organization.
Many attempts. it is asserted, had
been made previously to sound the
Sim Fein on the possibilities of a
compromise and there appears to be
no reason to suppose that this we'll
be more fruitful than the others.
This, Sim Feiners, declare they will
not negotiate.

Third Party Choice
Asks Harding and Cox
to Help Free Debs

hehNeE' July Zl-Parley T.. Chris
Jensen. Farmer-Labor party candidate
for President today telegraphed to
Senator Harding, Republican nominee.
and Governor Cox, Democratic candi-
date, suggesting that all join in a de-
rnand upon President Wilson to imme
diately release Eugene V. Debs from
prison.
The text of the mes sage follows:
/ nave been selected. by the Farmer
Labor party as its candidate for Pres
ident of the United States. 1t is nv
intention to inaugurate as quickly as
possible nationwide campaign in be-
half of the ideals Of political and in
dustrial democracy embraced in the
platform of that party. But I dislike
utterly to start on such campaign
while one of my opponents is in pris-
on, and especially while he is in prison
for no crime other than an honest pub
lie expression of his political views. I
refer to Eugene V. Debs, nominee of
the Socialist party.
The war has been over for nearly
two years. and whatever justification
there might have been on the part of
the government for denying Debs his
freedom during the war has now been
dissipated by 20 months of peace. Mr..
Debs may be utterly wrong in his
ideas Of how best to conduct the af
fairs OF society, and so may l be and
so may you. but my conception Of lib
erty includes the right to ehink wrong.
l say to Mr.. Debs and to others with
Whom l disagree, including the candi-
dates of the Republican and Democrat
lc parties, L loathe your ideas like
death, but I will defend with my life
your right to express them
Does it not appeal to you as a mat
ter of simple justice that the presiden-
tial candidates Of the Democratic, Re-
publican and Farmer-Labor parties
should join In a demand upon the
President OF the United States to i'm
medlately release the Socialist candi-
date from Atlanta prison? AS for me.
II shall not be said that have been a
party to the persecution of any man for
the opinions he holds, and I should so
regard myself if / failed to publicly
announce my condemnation of the i'm
prfSonment of Debs since I have en-
tered race in which he is a conapeti
tor. Your sense Of sportsmanship must
have led you, since your nomination,
to consider the position Of Debs. 7
oeseech an answer from you to this
proposal"
