FREE STATE OF
IRELAND HIDES
FAMINE FACTS
Mccarthy Tells of the
Starving Thousands

NEW YORK, April 2O.-The Irish
Free State is hiding the true facts Of
the serious famine Irish peasants and
fsberfolk are suffering from on the
west coast Of the island, says John
Patrick Mccarthy, returning from the
famine area and now on speaking
tour of the United States for the Irish
Peasants and Workers Famine Re-
lief committee, 10 S. Lincoln St., Chi
cago.
The contradiction of the Free State
government is shown in the fact that
for the first time in many years the
government is supplying school chill
dren with bread and cocoa lunches
while officially denying the famine.
Even the $4,000 sent over by Cardin-
al Hayes from America was sent
back by the Free State government,
which is dependent upon foreign loans
and tries to keep up the appearance
Of a prosperous Ireland as good Sc
curity for further loans.
Thousands Starving.
Hundreds of families in the Kerry
district, Mccarthy reports from his
experience, are living on one meal a
day and have not seen a potato-the
standard Irish food-on their tables
since November. About 100000 peo-
pie are in the famine area. The long
continued bad weather is blamed by
the peasants and fishers for the fam
inc. For months the rain has poured
down daily until the ground is too
soaked to grow potatoes or even grass
for the sheep and cattle and the
storms at sea have prevented the fish
ing folk from venturing out. The
peat fuel has been so soaked that 1t
would not dry and the people have
had nothing but a little furze and
scrap wood to burn for heat.
British Steal Fish.
The Irish peasants say that condi
tions have not been so bad for 75
years. The British steam trawlers
supposedly barred to beyond the 3
mile limit in Irish waters, come right
into the bays and destroy the fish OF
take them so that the Irish fishers
must starve. The sheep and cattle
are diseased from under-feeding ant
damp. Thatch roofs are rotting OF
peasant huts and the occupants SUI
fer from illness and damp. There il
no seen for the next season SO tina
even worse conditions are expected
next year.
Refuse to Pay Rent.
In Donegal 10000 peasants have re
fused for six years to pay rent t
the government because Of their ex
treme poverty. In other districts the
people are forced to live by begging
from more fortunate neighbors.
