Referring to the status Of the Free
STATE, hr. Healy declared: Owe have
ssen given a measure Of freedom as
Aise as that enjoyed by any of the
states IN the American Union. The
only blot Is the separation Of the six
counties from the rest Of the country,

spiit Of mutual concession, the north
tno me south will come together in a
rsaniheatlon Of the country.
We ask the American public" he

fste' not to give is enemies financial
support" N''
