gasoline and kerosene was an
nounced by the Washington branch

spectively, while the general retail

plauded.

the audience booed the interrupter
into silence and urged the speaker
to continue.

ers and termed as "unwise" some
of the activities Of the Black and
Tan troops. he said: 'Tf the leaders
of the Sim Fein love Ireland as
they claim they do. and are not
merely giving eff hot air in a loud
way; II they have any fairness and
intellect. they will stop this dirty
anarchy and accept dominion
home rule which will be given them
as soon as they concede the repuo-
lie idea"
Three uniformed policemen were
stationed at the exits. but were not
called upon at any time during the
address. Sir Philip described the
meeting as highly refreshing" and
said that II the hecklers had asked
him fair questions he would have
been pleased to have answered
them.
