Explains Sim FeIn spirit.
The Rev. Michael Maloney, about
to return to Ireland after taking
special studies in the Catholic Uni
versity here, addressed the meet
ing on the meaning of Sim Fein.
Its best definition, he said, would
be the new spirit of self-reliance

A letter just received by James
Slattery. the president. from a wom-
an relative in County Limerick,
Ireland, describing their great re-
lief at the signing of the truce
was read
There was nothing but excur-
sions yesterday, Sunday" 1t recount
ed. Everyone seems mad for q
holiday. There are no more house
searches. The Black and Tans will
now have no more goods or fowls
to send back to their people in Eng
land. How will they live now with
out plumber? And since the truce
we do not see many Of them drunk
Before, they would knock you dowr

Demand Allies Pay Debts.
Immediate payment of the mil
lions of dollars owed the United
States by foreign countries was
urged upon President Harding b!
members of Padraic II. Pearst
Branch, Friends of Irish Freedom
at a meeting last night in Typo
graphical Temple. 42S street
northwest
where they are unable TO pay
the debt in the form in which II wa'
advanced to them, then we urge
that territories or lands held in sub
jection-like many OF the West In
dies and Canada-be turned over &c
the inhabitants at fair Valuation
to be credited on the Indebtedness
so that they may cease to be
menace and danger to us in time Of
war" the resolution reads.
I'VE demand that under no CTR
cumstances shall any extension oil
time be given for partial payments
Of the debtor governments unit
after the conference called by Presi'
| dent Harding be held. and these
governments shall have shown pS
action rather than by words their In
tention to pay us rather than u
continue to sQuander vast sums IT
preparedness for another great wal
which in all probability Will %
waged against us.
Speaks on Ulster Question.
| Lack of understanding Of the
Ulster question gives many people
wrong conception of the irish situa
ton. according to Daniel Doren, VINO
spoke last night to members of thu
George Washington Council, Ameri'
can Association or the Recognition
of the Irish Republic, at S1s Pennsyl'
yania avenue southeast
"In this vicinity hundreds of PEG
pie have failed to grasp the full sig
nificance underlying the Ulster ques
| ton, merely because they have
brought conditions into play which
are foreign to the exact circum'
stances" declared Doren.
