DUBLIN, April 6.--Tne Sim Fein to-
day issued an official statement declar-
ing that Lord Edmund Bernard Talbot
has been appointed viceroy of Ireland
because the Government hoped to turn
his name and religion to successful
propaganda use in foreign countries
and create dIsunion among Irish Cath
oiics.
The statement asserted the present
state of Irish opinion was destitute OF
sectarian spirit and called attention to
the fact that some of the Catholic
bishops favored settlement on lines not
acceptable to the majority Of Sim Fem
ers and have discountenanced armed re-
sistance to aggression. Were the ma
tional movement sectarian those views
the statement declared, would naturally
influence the character Of the national
demand. but had not done so. The
statement said:
"The actual effect of this appointment
among Irish Catholics will be repulsion
at the thought of Catholic acting as
the agent OF tyranny"
ROME. April 6.--A semi-official Vati-
can statement says:
THE appointment of Lord Edmund
Talbot as viceroy Of Ireland has pro-
