Frankly let me say. that these re-
ports" wrote Gov. Morgan to Senator
Sutherland. lin so far as have been
able to determine from invt stigations

grossly exaggerated and are. seem
ingly. the product of imaginative

ties as a result of depression tn the
coal industry and difficulties arising
from the maintenance of contract
between employers and employees. d
Scattering Cases Of Poverty. ! H
TT is true" continued Gov. Morgan,
have been discovered, but the welfare
agencies find these cases even in
times of general prosperity. And it
is equally true that there has been
no suffering in this state during the
present depression which the local
authorities or local welfare agencies
have been unable TO alleviate"
Gov. Morgan detailed Investigations
by George F. Daugherty, state labor
commissioner. in Fayette and Raleigh
counties, which. he said. disclosed
that the reports of distressing con-
ditions were not of a serious nature
and that the county authorities and
Red Cross were prepared to give aid
in any case of distress or suffering"
No Dire Necessity Anywhere.
A Raleigh county committee. was
quoted by the governor as reporting
to him that "in no instance did we
find a family starving and in every
case we found they had food enough
to last for several days. To be sure.
Christmas was not perhaps as bright
as it might have been had the men
been working, but there was no dire
necessity anywhere"
The committee distributed candies
and other things for Christmas among
fifty-seven families, with a total of
Isl individuals. the report added.

But z in $4,000 Against Pact.
Owen ODuffy of Monaghan. Sim
Fein liaison officer for Ulster. spoke
in favor of the treaty on its merits.
He said only one or two individuals
out of $4,000 people he represented
were against the treaty. The dali
eireann should not take the re-
sponsibility of flouting the almost
unanimous will of sovereign people:
The principal parts of the treaty
that appealed to him. he said. were
the provisions for the evacuation of
Ireland by the British forces, civil
and military. and the setting up of
| an Irish army, trained and fully
world, he declared, had secured SO
much as the treaty gave Ireland. He
did not like the Ulster clauses in the
treaty. but there was unanimity in
the view that Ulster should not be
co-erced. He was convinced that the
bulk of the Ulster men would not cut
themselves off from a prosperous Ire
land, and such men approved the
treaty. 1t was only the armed as
O'Duffy remarked that he had said
at Armagh he was prepared to use
lead against Ulster: He did not mean
then or now that he would use lead
for the purpose O. psingns hst In
said then. and still says, was that If
the Orangemen continued to murder
Catholics in cold blood they should
ret lead in return. II this treaty
were rejected there would be many
caIlous murders by Orangemen of
Catholics in Ulster, he predicted.
Not Signed Under War Threat.
He argued that it could not be said
the treaty was signed under threat OF
war. No threat Of war was needed
, he insisted. as Ireland was at present
at war with England. with hostili-
ties suspended by the truce.
Liam Mellowes, who led the revo-
luton in Galway in Easter week
l1e16. and afterward escaped to
America, spoke against the treaty
The treaty, Mellowes insisted. was not
supported by the, will Of the people
hut by the fears Of the people. The
Treaty meant. not separation. but
union. It made 1rishmen British sub
jects and citizens. The question in
his view, was not how to get q re.
public, but how to maintain the one
already in existence.
