Ceddes Denies He Called
Sim Fein Religious
British Ambassador to u. S.
Calls Statement Credited to
Him absolutely Inaccurate

From, The Tribune's Eurupedn Bureau
Copyright. 1920. New York Tribune Inc.>
LONDON, March 5.-Sir Auckland
Geddes, newly appointed British Am
bassador to the United States, denied
emphatically to-day the statement i'm
puted to him by "The Daily News" that
the Sim Fein movement is practically
a religious scheme aimed at securing
power for the Roman Catholic Church.
THE News" commenting editorially,
said: eff this'report of Sir Auckland's
statement is true, he seems to have
spoiled his career as an ambassador
even before it started"
Discussing the report with the
Tribune correspondent, Sir Auckland
said
"The statement credited to me by
The News is absolutely inaccurate
What l did say was that the Sim Fein
movement is national, bat that there
are undercurrents in this, as in every
ether movement of the sort. l have al
ways believed Ireland's difficulties were
political rather than religious
What / said was not in an interview,
for have not granted any since my ap-
pointment. My remarks, even if given
correctlr, should never have been pub
lished, as l made them at private
treheon, given by Lady Astor, at
which American newspaper correspond
ents were present"

To Reject Irish
Home Rule Bill
Plunkett Assails Govern

u. S. Feeling With Erin
MACPHERSON in Commons
Says2OO, 900 OSinnFeiners
Are Ready for Outbreak

LONDON, March 5.--The gravity of
the Irish situation has been emphasized
by Sir Horace Plunketts attack in a
speech in Dublin last night on the
Irish Home Rule bill and by the ad-
mission of Ian Macpherson, Chief Sec
retary for Ireland, that the govern
ment is "up against a tremendously
dangerous situation in Ireland"
Sir Horace, speaking Ss welcome
home" dinner given in his honor by
the Irioh Dominion League, assailed the
government for it's broken promises to
Ireland and said the proposed Home
Rule bill in practice would only bring
martial law to the part Of Ireland that
wants self-government and Home Rule
in the northeast corner, which never
has asked for it.
Discussing his impressions Of the
American attitude on the Irish ques-
ton, Sir Horace said ne had found
more anti-English feeling in the United
States than he had seen in forty years.
He said it all hinged on the Irish ques-
tion, because Americans wanted as .arge
a measure of self-government for Ireland
as was consistent with the safety of
the British Empire, though they did
not favor an independent Irish re-
public.
Assails Home Rule Bill
American participation in the war
undoubtedly was delayed, Sir Horace
said, by the Irish question, and the
same issue was a source of embarrass-
Washington. Sir Horacs race criticized :edI the aes
Home Rule bill chiefly. on the ground
that it gave Ulster and a minority of
not more than one-fifth of the Irish
people "a virtua mandatory over Ire
land--a mandatory without response
bility."
Macpherson's remarks on Ireland
were made in rebutting attacks in the
House OF Commons on the irish admin
istration. He said that the Sim Fem
ers had at least 100000 men prepared
to commit murder at any hour of the
day or night.
Secretary Macpherson asserted he
had received letters from Roya.ists in
the west and south of Ireland begging
the government to take steps to get
them out of the country. The Faster
rebellion Of 1916 had rot beeN seamps 4
out he said, and he'd left behind it a
spirit more malignant and revolution
arv than Ireland ever had known
The speeches of Sir Horace and Sec
retary Macpherson formed the basis
OF comment in some OF the morning
newspapers.
"The Daily News" severely condemn
ing the new Home Rule measure, asks:
Can the insincere jugglers who are
thus mocking the maddened victims of
their own cowardly policy be relied
upon to give real effect to the slight
promise of happier development Which
may be hidden in its crooked prom
ses?''

roy that his duty is to order that after
a given date all proved guilty of crimes
of violence be courtmartialed and shot.
Otherwise, "The Post" says, he ought to
resign.
"Viscount French was appointed to
govern Ireland" the "Post" declares.
"Hc has failed. He must know he has
failed, and it is inconceivable how he
justifies his continuance In Office"
4'The Graphic" features Dublin dis
patch saying that the Irish situation is
changing remarkably. The dispatch de-
clares that nothing can avert a fresh
tragedy except the utmost coolness on
the part Of the authorities, and that any
increase in the rigor of martial law will
inevitably precipitate such a tragedy,
causing dangerous complications for
England in America.
The chief danger, according to the
"Graphic" advices, is the widespread
conviction that small Dublin Castle
clique is bent on getting Ireland's
youth into the open so that the morale
of the Sim Fein may be broken by
bloody repression. This, however, the
dispatch says, is having one good result,
in causing the Sim F&in leaders to
avoid provocation at all costs.
