land, sponsors this statement. Speak.
Ing At an Irish Selt-Determination
meeting under the auspices of the
British Labor Party in Albert Hall,
London, on November 18th last, Com
mander Kenworthy said: ''This bogey
about Ulster is simply trick to keep
the workers Of Derry and Belfast from
realizing their working condition and
apprectattng the wage question; and
to divide them from the rest of Ire
land" Councillor Morley of Halifax.
Yorkshire. England, reporting upon
the investigation Of the Belfast strike
OF 1907. In which he revealed an al.
most incredible story of industrial op-
preston and Wholesale poverty said:
Il am sorry to say find that there
exists an evident and interested de-
sire by the employers to keep the
workers disunited, and for that pur-
pose they exaggerate every little diff.
ference either of religion or politics.
I am also happy to know that by the
growing intelligence of the workers of
Belfast they are seeing through this
capitalisttc dodge"
Mr.. Coote and his associates seek
to justify the foreign yoke by elabor.
ating upon sums loaned to Irish farm
ers to improve Irish agriculture, rail-
way improvements; construction of
four room "homes" for working men
and their families and old age PEN
stons. This, to one who knows Ire
land, is very little to boast about in
deed, but admitting, for the sake of
clearing the issue, that British rule in
Ireland was the most beneacent on
earth, the Irish people would still de.
mand their freedom because the Brit.
ish Government is a foreign govern
ment and is therefore utterly wrong
unless we take the position that all of
the precious American lives lost in
the war to establish government by
the consent of the governed every
where were sacrificed in an unworthy
cause.
Mr.. Coote admits Ireland was once
misgoverned but says she is not mis-
governed now. But, as I have said,
whether she were or not would make
no difference to Irishm.en. No one who
knows even little bit of history can
forget the unexampled tribulations of
the people of Ireland; even in living
memory there has been a famine In
which hundreds Of thousands perished
while food that would have saved
them all was being transported to
England in payment Of rents to alb
sentee British landlords. But to for
get history and bring the situation up
to the minute, Ireland is occupied by
force Of 100000 British troops armed
with all the machinery of modern war.

OF soldiers and policemen by Sinn

cumstances it is surprising that more
violence Is not done by groups of
young men who can see but one reply
to the repressive measures dictated
from London. Look at your own
American history prior to the actual
formation of the Revolutionary Army.
In the United States Mr.. Coote and
his clergymen companions from Ulster
are addressing audiences in Prote-
stant churches and drawing upon the
religious prejudices of uniformed
Americans. AS one born and reared
a Protestant and an Orangeman in
Ulster l can deny that religion is a
factor In the struggle for freedom in
Ireland. And to thinking people it
should be a proof of the utter worth
lessness, in this day, of the British
and the Unionist position that they
should resort to religious bigotry in
their effort to thwart the clearly ex.
pressed will of nation. Americans
should remember the Tories of 1776
and Washington's admonition that
they leave the colonies if they would
not abide the will of the majority,
when they consider the attacks upon
Republican Ireland by the Unionists.

Covenanters as will be shown by the
1913 statistics, which place the adult
Protestant population of Ulster at

Warsaw.-The evacuation of Kiev

The American Red Cross workers. ac-
cOrding to latest accounts, had made
preparations to evacuate Kiey with
the armies.
News of the evacuation of kiev
reached Warsaw Saturday night which
was the first report from Kiev in sew
eral days. Just prior to the cutting
off of communication by the BOlshe-
wiki, General Rydzmigly, the cOmman-
der at Kiev, sent dispatch that he
would make stand unless otherwise
ordered. With difficulty the Poles got
through personal order from General
Pilsudski, the commander in chief to
the Kiev commander to evacuate i'm
medately.
General Budenny, the Russian COM
mander who fought against Denikine,
is bringing up reinforcements, the dis

ties assert that the fight for Kiev is
not yet ended by any means.

Before evacuating Kiev, according
to the latest Bolshevik communiQue,
the Poles blew up the vladimir ca

PERSIA AND SOVIET
ROW IS TACKLED
WORLD COUNCIL ATTEMPTS TO
BRING ABOUT PEACE IN
NEAR.EAST REGION,
Awaiting Result OF the eoIsheviki
Promise to Cease Aggression In
Persia and Withdraw

LOndOn.--The case Of Persia versus
Soviet Russia, the first bit Of inter-
national adjudication undertaken by
the council Of the league Of nations,
was remanded Wednesday morning,
June 10, pending the result of the boil
shevikl promise to cease aggression In
Persia and withdraw the landing party
operating In the neighbOrhoOd of En-
xeli.
The supporters of the league an
tfcipate action by the council on the
Persian appeal for Intervention as the
first practical test Of its power to
settle international disputes, but the
council after two days secret deliber-
alton concluded that 1t was desirable,
In order to give every opportunity for
success Of the exchanges now going
on between Teheran and Moscow, to
await the fulfillment Of MoscOw's de-
clared intentions before determining
the manner of bringing the leagues

Lord CurzOn, British foreign secre-
tary, bringing up the subject at the
public meeting Wednesday at St.

rendered its sympathy to the Persian
government In the difficult position In
which 1t had been placed and agreed
that 1t had done right in opening dis
cussiOns with the Russians.
Reporting his investigation Of the
problems connected with the repatra-
ton of prisoners of war, who had been
unable to return home, especially
those in captivity In Siberia, Dr. Fridt-

laments Failure to Ratify League Of
Nations, and Expresses Fear That
Question Will Be Submerged
During Campaign.

MOntreal.-Organized labor Of the
United States was appealed to by
Samuel GOmpers of the American
Federation of Labor on June ii to sup
port the federatiOn's nOnpartisan poll
tical program and to urge on congress
adoption of the league of nations.
Characterizing the failure of the
United States to ratify the covenant
as 'pitiable," Mr. Gomper stold the
annual convention that "if the ques-
ton was submitted to the people, with
out any other entangling problems, l
am positive that the people of our
country would say by an overwhelm-
ing vote it desires the league of ma
tions."-
He expressed the fear that in the
political campaign the league of ma
tons question will be Submerged in
the number of questions which must
attract the attention of the people"
ut is regrettable," he added, "that
the question in itself has not had an
opportunity to be presented for the
consideration and determination of the
people"
Mr.. Gompers asserted that his nom
partisan political program 'may be in
concrete form before the convention"
within the next few days.
"FOrty years of experience, of sue
cess and triumph" said he, "has
shown us the way. Demands which
labor makes are for services which
labor performs and gives to society
and without which such progress
would come to standStill. Labor
makes demands for better and higher
life."

eight May Be Heard From.

ChicagO.-OppOsed to the selected
candidates and selected platform of
the Republican party, and the future
selection of the Democratic camp, are
already four or five third" parties,
with several groups yet to be heard
from. The Bull Moose Progressives,
reborn Saturday night with a dinner
ut the Auditorium hotel with 100 men
from twenty-seven states, are propOs-
ing ticket but are Withholding judg-
ment until the Democratic decision.
The COMMITTEE of Forty-eight,' with
a membership of 100000 persons, is to
hold convention here July 10, for
the selection of national candidates
the Socialists already have nominated
Eugene V. Debs and Seymour Sted-
man; the single takers are talking
about third party, and the Labor
party of the United States, with it's
convention here July II, II and 10,
proposes to put ticket and plat
form into the field.
Just how strong any or all Of these
third parties may become Is prob
lematical, but the Labor party is be-
ing taken the most seriously, mas
much as 1t has been in the field for
long time, has proposed tickets and
platform for months before the two
big parties selected dates for their
conventions, and is moving silently
along.
Dissatisfaction with the action of
the Republican convention is respon-
sible for proposed action by the for
mer Bull Moosers, who want to pro-
test against the defeat of Wood, John
son and Hoover. The former Moosers
hope to combine followers of all three
candidates under one banner, possibly
that Of Hiram w. johnson and Sen
ator William e. Borah, with William
Randolph Hearst lurking in the back
ground.
