"The advent Of w. u. FOSTER
thousands of unemployed and en-
ployed workers in the North Of Ire
land into sharp class battles with the
employers, the Ulster police and
British troops is one of the most i'm

"The millions of workers Of Irish
birth and descent in the United
States must be organized for support
of the battle of the Irish masses for
better wages and working conditions
and for national liberation"
THE Wall Street rulers of America
are no friends of the Irish workers
and peasants. They try to use the
heroic struggles of the Irish workers
and peasants to further their own
imperialist interests at the expense OF
the Irish masses, the British working
class and American workers. The
Labor Party of Great Britain and its
leaders like Henderson, the colleagues
of Norman Thomas, are the bitterest
foes of Irish liberation as they are Of
liberation Of the masses in India
