4-POWER PACT
ANDDA|[ ACTION
Friends of Freedom Here Draft
Declaration Of Policy for
u National Meeting.

Opposition to the so-called "fonr-
Lower alliance" proposed by the Presi-
dents disarmament conference. and the
action of the Dali Eireann I'm accept
ing England's terms Of peace for Ire
land were voiced at a meeting last
night Of the Padraic H. Pearse branch
of the Friends Of Irish Freedom.
A declaration of policy. drafted ny
the Rev. Father James A. Geary. pro-
fessor of Gaelic, Catholic University.
was UNANIMOUSLY adopted. Father
Geary was chosen to represent the
local council at the national meet Of
next in New York.
The following report of last nights
meeting was issued today:
The Padraic II. Pearse branch Of
the Friends Of Irish Freedom last
night adopted a declaration of policy
which expresses regret that the nego-
tiations which have been carried on
between the representative OF Dali
Eireann and the British government
have not resulted IN comforting on
Ireland the full measure of libertv
which was demanded when the re-
public was set up in 1915.
They feel that the struggle, never
theless, Is bound to continue until full
justice is done by the universal recog-
milton Of Ireland's national status.
They believe that those who Inherit
the ideal and spirit Of Emmett and
O'Mahoney and Pearse will not rest
content with any mere fraction Of what
4. due Ireland as a nation, and that
the blood of Ireland's martyrs will
not have been shed in vain.
ITO those who continue the re-
publican tradition in Ireland we renew
our assurances of the hearty support
of the Friends of Irish Freedom until
their complete freedom is accomplish
cd. We give this assurance as eorol-
larry, which Is now being assailed by
another attempt to bind this country
in an alliance with foreign powers
under the guise Of an effort to prevent
war.
I'VE denounce the proposed quad
ripple alliance Of the United Suites,
England. France, and Japan as essen
tally vicious, because 1t Is based on
the status quo without any attempt
TO inquire into the justice of that
status; because II necessitates our 60
ing to war Qf 1t has any force II AID
t. maintain the sovereignty Of other
nations over populations ruled with
out their consent; and because 1t over
looks the best, in fact the only means
OF avoiding war, namely, the estab'
Eshment of justice in international re-
lations.
1--WE call upon all true Americanyt to
join us in pressing our own deals and
IN aiding in their extension to Ireland.
