that Irish citizens who wished TO
testify in America would be given
passports by the British authorities
and be permitted to visit the United
States.
1--WE firmly believe that there is
in ireland a government legally
constituted by the free will OF her
people, and that IL has every right
morally and in law to issue pass
ports to It's own citizens to visit
any country in the world. We do
not intend to sit by idly and permit
this right to be nullified by the
arbitrary action in this country, and
IL II becomes necessary we Will
contest 1t in every way possible in
the courts.
TALK LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
"The rights of Irish citizens regu-
Iarly permitted to leave their country
by their government, but interfered
with in this country, may well be-
come the subject of legal proceedings
in this country. We do not purpose
to allow men who risk their lives and
their liberty to come to the United
States to tell something of Ireland's
sufferings to be returned against
their will without a struggle,
all the fuhctions of a regularly con-
stituted government in a foreign
country and are thoroughly satisfied
that under the rules of international
law we have a full Tight to do that.
Under the statute requiring notifica-
ton to the State Department such
action has been taken. 1t is the feel
ing of leaders in the Irish republic
that they are well within their rights
when they act as did Benjamin Frank
lin in Ireland, Holland and France
when he sought to obtain recognition
for the struggling American repub-
lie"
The quetsion of deporting Irish
representatives here without a Brit
ish passport, which was revived with
the arrival of Lord Mayor O'Callaghan,
brought forth the fact that the State
Department had made the decision
under which the immigration authori-
ties will be called upon to round up
all such representatives in the coun-
try at the present time. That includes
President De Valera's secretary,
Harry Boland.

international News service.)

Reports that Soviet Russia has
abandoned the idea of conauering
the world to bolshevism are appar-
emily refuted by records of the pro-
ceedings of the Second World Cen
gress of the Communist interna-
tional in Moscow last June. which
were made public today by the State
Department.
CO-oPERATION IS wAGED.
These records, 1t was announced,
are the departments translation OF
reports Of the meetings printed in the
Petrograd Pravda and the Moscow
Izvestia, official organs of the Soviet
Government.
The world proletariat is on the eve
Of decisive battles. the platform
unanimously adopted by the congress
declares, and calls upon the working
classes to prepare for a vital struggle.
1.-THE working class" the resolution
continues, "can not triumph COM
pletely over the bourgeoisie through
the use Of only the general strike and
the tactics of crossed arms The
proletariat must have resort to armed
uprising"
Although no enumeration is made
of the countries represented In the
congress, the names of delegates
from practically every country in
the world appear in the debates.
Russia was represented by sixty
four delegates, and America by John
Reed, L. Fraina, A. Stoklitsky,
Bilan, and ]. Jurgis.
The American delegates made
several addresses before the con-
gress, Jurgis being particularly bit
ter in his attack upon the United
States Government
"Offcial America" he is quoted as
saying. (which took part in the
world war allegedly for democratic
ideals during the war itself, lost
even those shreds of 'democratism'
of which It had until then boasted.
Official America, which proclaimed
the slogan, Down with Prussian
militarism and Observation-Disclosures
goes to save democracy, now has
become the most autocratic oligarchy
Of financial capital that has ever
existed"
LEGION Is DENOUNCED. :
He denounced the American Legion
for "riotous attacks on the head
quarters of Communists and trade
unions and the beating up Of active
workmen," and declared that despite
1000 arrests in a single night, the
reorganization of the Communist
labor party in America has been
successfully completed and the work
Of propaganda and agitation" Is be-
Ing successfully conducted with
great zeal"

AFFECTS PENDING CASES.
II will mean that about 800 cases
which are pending against alleged
yiQIators OF the prohibition laws, will
be thrown out OF court, ~ the decision
10 upheld.
Pending some action by officials OF
the Prohibition Bureau. all search
warrants which have been obtained
during the past few days and which
have not yet been served. were with
held by the Washington prohibition
agents and bootlegging was permit
ted to go on.
The action by Judge Hardison fol-
lowed the fling OF z brief by Attorney
James O'Shea. setting forth that when
Merett Wilson. his client, was arrested,
officers In the case we're acting, without
authority despite the fact they had n
search warrant issued by United States
Commissioner Isaac X. Hit. The brief
sets forth that the officers did not
make the proper affidavit In securing
the warrant. that the goods to be
seized were not specifically described
in the warrant and that the proper
return had not been made on the
warrant
QUESTION NOT RAISED.
Prohibition officers attached to the
Washington ONCE said today that they
had been using the same form OF
search warrant ever since prohibition
became effective. and that II had
never been questioned before.
II the contention Of Attorney
O'Shea 10 upheld by higher courts.
they say. II will be practically I'M
possible to search q house In quest Of
liquor, because they cannot tell just
what kind Of liquor they will md
They said that when they received
word that someone was selling
liquor. they sent someone In to buy
II with marked money. and when
they returned, with the liquor. a
search warrant was obtained. and the
house or store raided to obtain the
marked money and the store of whis-
key.
Under the ruling Of Judge Hardison,
they claim II will be almost necessary
for a revenue man to get into the
house or store and see just how much
whiskey and what kind is being sold
and then go before United States Com
missioner Hit and obtain search
warrant. This Is almost impossible
to do, they say.
United States Commissioner Hit to-
day received a transcript of the de-
cision Of Judge Hardison and said he
intended to study 1t. He said that
without going into the merits. of the
judges reasoning. he was certain that
the warrants issued by him would
hold in any court and that Judge Har-
Olson would be reversed
At the legal department of the
Prohibition Bureau, officials said they
would have to study the opinion rem
dered by Judge Hardison before they
would discuss 1t.

meet the nationwide emergency.
This is an impelIing moral obiiga-l
