Execution of Erskine Childers is
conclusive proof that England is
facing imminent defeat in her long
battle to keep the Irish people I'M
der subiugation." Mrs. Muriel Mac
Swiney. widow of the Lord Mayor
of Cork whoNdied of hunger strike
while in an English prison. declared
today.
England is trembling on the
threshold of defeat in her effort 10
keep Ireland her chattel. But 1t is
now only Il matter of time before
the Irish really will be free"
Although Childers was executed
by the Free State, the British,
Mrs. MacSwiney declared, were re.
sponsible.
THE Free State" she said. "is
not representative of true Ireland.
Members of the Free State are but
servants of the British, TO whom
they have sworn allegiance and at
whose beck and call they are sub
ject.
"It shows that the British are on
their last legs. They are at the
end Of their rope In trying to keep
ireland under English rule. Child
ers' execution. will create the great.
est horror throughout Ireland and
the world. and the reaction will
find England's hold on Ireland
hanging by a thread"
