CONCLUSIONS REACHED BY I'M
PARTsiAL INVESTIGATORS -
BRITISH OFFICIALS SANCTION
MURDER--MASS OF EVIDENCE
PROVES ENGLISH GOVERNMENT
GUILTY OF SAVAGERY AND uN-
MITiGATED BRUTALITY.

The American Commission on Con-
.ditions in Ireland has issued a report
in 146 pages. This document confirms
all that the world knows of British
savagery in Ireland, and even adds
new light on that brutality.
The conclusions of the Commission
are backed by a, great mass of evil
dence which makes up a tale of horror
SURPRISING the famous Bryce report
on Belgium. 1t presents a picture,
unparalleled in modern times. of the
attempted subsection of a people by
the assassination of elected officials
and private citizens, by the wholesale
destruction of private and public prop
erty, including whole towns, by Off
eially organized looting, robbery and
acts of terror, such as fiogging pedes-
trians on public streets and dragging
women and children out of their
homes at midnight and burning down
the homes.
An instance of the policy is the re-
cent official order of the British I'M
perial Command making mothers who
give shelter to their republican sons
and an overwhelming majority of the
young men of Ireland are republicans
liable to the death penalty

mission, Awould seem to be directed
not only against Irish womanhood, but
also against the noblest of English
women, Edith Cavell; for by it the
British High Command would appear
TO make the heroism of Edith Cavell
a crime and to confirm her sentence. .
Statements Of Military.
Several statements by military and
high police officers melting their men
to promiscuous murder are included
in the report. Generals Lucas and
Deasey are among the officers order
ing the summary shooting of Irish re
publicans.
Much evidence is included to show
that British officers not only failed tc
prevent raids for the purpose of muir
der and destruction, but frequently
participated in them.
Conclusions Of Commission.
The conclusions of the Commission
are as follows.
"We find that the Irish people are
deprived of the protection of British
law, to which they would be entitled
as subjects of the British King. They
are likewise deprived of the mora
protection granted by internationa
law, to which they would be entitled
las belligerents. They are at the
mercy of Imperial British forces
which, acting contrary both to all Law
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1921-04-09
American Commission on ireland

and to all standards of human con-
duet, have instituted in Ireland a
terror the evidence concerning which
seems to prove:
l. The Imperial British Govern
ment has created and introduced into
Ireland, a force Of at least $4,000 men,
many of them youthful and mex
perienced, and some of them convicts;
and has melted that force to unbridled
violence.
2. The Imperial British forces in
Ireland have tortured, and indiscrim-
inately killed, innocent men, women
and children; have discriminatory as
sassinated persons suspected of being
republicans; have tortured and shot
prisoners while in custody, adopting
the subterfuges of refusal to halt
and attempting to escape; and have
attributed to alleged Sim Fein ex-
.tremists" the British assassination of
prominent Irish republicans.
3, House-breaking and wanton de-
struction OF whole villages and cities
by Imperial British forces under I'M
perial British officers have been coun-
tenanced, and ordered by officials of
the British Government; and elaborate
provision by gasoline sprays and
bombs has been made in a number of
instances for systematic incendiarism
as part of plan of terrorism
4. A campaign for the destruction
of the means of existence of the Irish
people has been conducted by the
burning of factories, creameries, crops
and farm implements and the shoot
ing of farm animals. This campaign
is carried on regardless of political
views of their owners, and results in
widespread and acute suffering among
women and children.
5. Acting under series OF procla-
nations issued by the competent mill
tary authorities of the Imperial Brit
ish forces, hostages are carried by
forces exposed to the fire of the re-
publican army; fines are levied upon
towns and villages as punishment for
alleged offenses of individuals; pri-
vate property is destroyed in reprisals
for acts with which the owners have
no connection, and the civilian popula-
tion is subjected to constant inquisi-
tion upon the theory that individuals
are in possession of information val
liable to the military forces of Great
Britain. These acts of the Imperial
| British forces are contrary to the laws
of peace or war among modern civil
lied nations.
g. This terror" has failed to re-
establish Imperial British civil govern
ment in Ireland. Throughout the
greater part of Ireland British courts
have ceased to function; local, coun-
| ty and city governments refuse to
| recognize British authority; and Brit
ish civil officials fulfill no function of
service to the Irish people.
| 7. In spite of the British terror"
the majority of the Irish people sane

| their allegiance to it; pay taxes to it;

NEW DIVORCE BILL IN ENGLAND
GAINS ANGLICAN SUPPORT
CATHOLICS OPPOSE IT-cATHo-
Lie PRELATEs SUGGESTED FOR
PEERS.
(By N. C. w. C. News seryice.)

(By NJ. w. U. News Service.
The first shot in the new campaign
against easier divorce was fired in
the House of Lords by Baron Braye, a
Catholic peer, who moved the rejection
of Lord Gorell's new divorce bill.
Of the terms of this bill it is not
necessary to speak here; it will be
sufficient to indicate that it is not de-
signed at making divorce more rare
and more difficult, but more frequent
and to enlarge the grounds for the dis
solution of marriage.
The doctrine of the indissolubility
of marriage, Lord Braye said, is one
of the foundations and bulwarks of the
Catholic Church.
The bill might possibly pass into
law, but he wished to make his final
protest against it, and against its
whole principle, which is hostile to
the religious convictions of three hun
dred million Catholics all over the
| world.
High prelates of the Anglican
Church rose in their places on the
ep1ScOpaE bench to support the Gorell
Divorce Bill. The Archbishop OF
York, associating with himself the
Archbishop of Canterbury, who was
absent, pledged their votes to the
measure. The Bishop of Durham also
pledged support.
1t is notorious-and the High Angli
cans admit it-that when vital mat
ter of Christian faith or morals is in
danger of attack in the legislative
chambers, it is not the parliament
bishops who rally in defense of these
principles, but the Catholic peers, and
more often than not the Irish Catho
.Elics.

ed when she was engaged in prepar-

The first t'Three Hours Agony
Service ever held in the United States
was that in the Old Cathedral, st. Lou
is, Mo-, one hundred and three years
ago.
This fact was brought to light by a
letter which is on file in the archives
of the St. Louis Diocesan Chancery at
the Old Cathedral, and which was
written April 2, 1918 to Bishop Rosati
by the celebrated Vincentian, Blessed
de Andreis, then stationed at the Ca
thedral The letter says:
"On Good Friday evening we had
the function called the Ire Ore car
ried out in every detail. The setting
was magnificent beyond belief
Father de Andreis had taken part
in the devotion at Rome and in France
and brought the custom to the trad.

ANGLICANS FAVOR DIVORCE

Church, with other religious represen-
tatives,. shall sit with the spiritual
peers.
The change is needed, for there is
a no more hollow farce than to see
these prelates, who pride themselves
on their so-called "Catholicity," arising
in the midst of an assembly of Chris
tians and Christians and permit
ting one of the fundamental bases of
Christian morality to go by default.
For any particular reading Of the Cos
pei words it is impossible to look for
verdict to unanimous Church, said
the Bishop of Durham. And SO they
must have resort to the higher expe-
diency," whatever that may be.
