S|NN FE|N TO VOTE
IN Irish ELECTIONS
But Its Representatives Will
Boycott the Par|iaments to
Which They Are Chosen.
BY ARTHUR HENDERSON,
Former Member British War Cabinet

|
Former Member British War Cabinet.
| BY Radio to The Star.
| LONDON, May THE coming cleo
! tions in Ireland will, in effect, decide
whether the Sim Fein demand for a
! republic will be persisted in as the
| irreducible minimum. or if Irish po-
litical economic development, for the
immediate future. is to be carried on
! through legislatures provided by the
British government. in the Ireland
act. The strategical policy of Sim
Fein will - determined by the cleo
tions.
If majority of the people cast
their votes for Sim Fein candidates.
; 1t viii be regarded as conclusive con-
/: firmation of their demand for inde-
pendenCe, a demand which in princi-
pie was pronounced for at the last
general election. There is no reason
to anticipate reaction from the
spiritual ideals of Sim Fein in the
coming elections. On the contrary,
it Will be surprising If the reVulslon
of feeling, due to the Wretched poll
cies pursued by the British authorl-
ties. does not find reflex in greatly
augmented Sim Fein poll. But the
fact that the Sim Feiners are par
ticipating in the election does not
mean their elected representatives
will attend the new parliaments. They
will boycott them in just the same
way as at present they are ignoring
the parliament at estminster. 1T is
believed the eX-lOrd mayor of Dublin
reported to Dali Eireann the semi
official offer of a dominion form of
government and home rule. but the
position of the "parliament of the
Irish republic is that any proposal
from Lloyd George should be made in
writing to that body directs.
British Industrial Depression.
Meantime, the industrial depression
in Great Britain is assuming alarm
ing proportions. Not only are there
a million and a quarter miners locked
out. but in addition over two million
and 4 quarter workers are registered
as unemployed. The general public
seems very impeffectly informed as
to the vast economic consequences of
the stoppage of coal mining. It's ap-
probation rests to very large ex-
tent on the measure Of its personal
inconvenience and discomfort. The
shortage of coal is becoming acute.
and while the distress of the miners
and their families in increasing, the
become more accentuated daily.
The letting of Egyptian state rail-
way contracts for coal to America for
five years is but one indication of the
economic penalties which the stop
page in this country will entail for
long time ahead. The decision of the
transport workers not to handle for
eign coal to be used in this country
will not be without it's effect. The
miners fight is now in its last stages.
The government and the owners ap-
pear to be relying upon the pressure
of starvation to break up the miners
resistance. There is no sign of weak
ening as yet and it seems clear that
only a war of attrition. will compel
the men eventually to return to work.
