.LAFOLLETTEURGES
RECOGNITION IRISH
REPUBLIC BY i. s.
WISCONSIN SENATOR PLEADS IN
NAME OF FOUNDERS AMERI-
CAN INDEPENDENCE FREE
DOM EMERALD ISLE

Washington, April 26.-The cause OF
Ireland was pleaded in the senate,
Monday, by Senator LaFollette, Repub.
lican, Wisconsin, who, in a prepared
address, advocated his resolution pro-
posing recognition of the Irish re-
public"
ireland is today the test of real
Americanism," he said. Those who
today most actively oppose recognition
of the independence of Ireland in her
struggle for freedom from Great Brit
ain are of the same flesh, the same
blood, as the Tories of l77G. Those
who today favor recognition OF United
States of Irish independence stand upon
the great fundamental principles Of
human liberty which We're written into
the Declaration of Independence"
Il believe that Ireland should be free
AS free and Independent as any nation
on the globe" he told the senate.
IL believe she should be as independ-
ent and have as complete dominion
over her own destiny as England.
France, or the United States, and by
the same right-the inherent right of
every nation 10 a government deriving
its just powers from the consent Of the
governed,
IL stand for this country doing no
more for Ireland than We have done
for other small nations Of Europe. But
stand for this government doing no
less. am unalterably opposed to those
who would have us abandon that tradi-
tional policy and make US by cowardly
silence accomplices of the oppressors
Of Ireland"
The Wisconsin senator referred 10
last weeks visit of President Harding
to unveil the statue of Simon Bolivar,
Venezuela patriot, and predicted that "it
will not be necessary to wait hun
dred years until an American president
will unvell with all fitting ceremony
and with the approval OF the whole
American people, u statue to Eamonn
de Valera, the first vice president ol
the Irish republic"
