Take Up Case of
An Irish Worker
N. Y. Meeting Protests
Exile of Grafton

NEW YORK.-Before Tom Moo
ney Conference attended by united
Irish groups at Esthonian Hail. 2T
West ll5th Street, yesterday, fight
was begun for the defense OF another
Irish worker who till week ago was
less known than was his famous
compatriot Mooney before mass pro-
test made that case worldwide
issue.
The man is James Grafton, from
whose birthplace in Efrinagh, County
Leitrin, the Irish Free State govern
ment is attempting to Danish him
because he organized reighbors into
q Working Farmers Committee
Movement to struggle for land
Grafton, who had emigrated rs years
ago to the United States, is an Amer
lean citizen.
Chairman Joseph Byrne, of the
Irish-Ameriean Alliance which spon-
sored the meeting, refused the floor
to those who proposed a resolution
condemning the attempted deporta-
ton. ut has nothing to do with
MONEYS case" he said. 'The meet
ing is adjourned"
But the meeting continued, and
sum was collected to defray the
cost of a cable to De Valera protest
ing the deportation.
Grafton is a veteran of the Irish in
dependence and workingclass move
ment in both countries. In 1921, he
returned to Ireland to fight with the
Irish Republican Army against the
British black and tans. When thai
national struggle was betrayed ane
the Free State government estab-
lished, Grafton presided over arbi-
tration courts which fought for re.
instatement of evicted and exiled
families on land seized from them BY
"grabbers."
After Jail sentence Grafton re-
turned to the U. S. A. Last year the
death of his brother again necessi-
tated his return to Ireland so as tc
help on his fathers small farm
Again he began the same activities
which had incurred before the bitter
ennity of priests, landowners and the
government. The Pearse- Connolly
Hall, where he organized social, po-
litical and cultural activities, was
shot up by thugs during a social and
later bombed and burned to the
ground.
Escaping from the detectives who
served the deportation order, Grafton
is now being hunted over Ireland
Trade unions, the Workers Revolu-
tionary Groups, the League Against
Imperialism, the Dublin Labor Col
lege and leading Irish writers are
active in the Defense Committee. It's
work in America is conducted by the
Irish Workers Club and groups
anxious to fight the case. The COM
mittee asks workers organizations to
send protests to the Ministry of JUS
tice Of the De Valera Free State
Government.

NEW YORK-A group of the 800

many politicians. They want n
new park commission that will
spend more time and money buy
ing land for the park and not so
much time and money in helping
out unemployed attorneys. They
want "ncw deal" that will show
some action and get some results.
The Ashevillc area, which has
from the start tried to dominate
the park commission and make
the Smoky Mountain National
park an Ashevillc national park,
is still making an effort to get
control Of the new commission it
is understood, on the basis that
any other course will "destroy the
confidence" Of that section in tho
commission. In fact the pressure
for a retention of a majority Of
the old members Of the commits
sion is coming more strongly
from the Ashcvillc section than
any other, it is understood here.
But if Governor EhringhauS ex-
tends The "new deal" to the park
commission that he is extending
to other activities, many believe
that few members of the old COM
mission will be named on the new
one and that the new commission
will be far less sectional and po-
litical than the old one.

DANGERS IN THE ROAD TO
RECOVERY
(By BRUCE CATTON

As the great depression of the thirties
sinks into what we all devoutly hope will
be its final coma, it is instructive to look
back at the death-bed scenes of former de-
pressions and see how they compare with
this one.
By one way of looking at things, they
are all much alike.
In former times, as now, the upward
turn began before people realized it. Com
modify prices began a slow but steady
climb, security prices advanced, scattered
factories began to put men back to work,
people started buying things again-and
then, the first thing anyone knew, we were
out of it and there was a clear road ahead
again.
That seems to be very much the way
things are working out now. But there are
one or two differences, and they modify
the whole picture in a way that it is im-
possible to ignore.
In the first place, no previous depreS-
sion led to such far-reaching and drastic
action by the federal government. We have
never before had anything like the new
farm bill, the industrial control bill, and
so on No previous depression forced us
off the gold standard; none ever caused so
much power to be to given the president.
Secondly, the international situation IS
different Never before did the climax of
hard times in America coincide with such
a near approach to chaos in international
relations. The London conference, with all
that it implies, is a new thing; the prob
lens of disarmament, international debts,
world peace and treaty revision give to
our emergence from this depression an en-
tirely new face.
Last of all, it is probably true that never
before have we been so thoroughly disillu-
sioned-with our leaders, with our institu-
lions and with ourselves. We have called
in question the basic features of our ma
tiona life. Radical as our recovery pro-
gram may seem, it is mild as milk COM
pared with what the great mass of people
will demand if recovery is delayed along
the way.
We are coming out of it in a different
way than we did other times. To say that
we shall presently go on in the old paths
simply because eve have always recov-
cred before" is to talk complete nonsense.
Everything is profoundly different. Only
by recognizing the extent of the difference
can we find our way safely through the
next few critical years. .., s7-

governor rather than by the at
torncy general.
In spite Of the fact that the
general assembly indicated in no
uncertain terms that it wanted
the old slate wiped clean and an
entirely new park commission ap-
pointed, il is well known that
members and friends and mem
bers of the old commission are
doing everything possible to per-
Suade the governor to appoint
most Of the new commission from
members Of the old body. They
are using as their chief talking
point the argument that if any
radical changes are made and an
entirely new commission appoint
ed, there will be grave DANCE"
that the Rockefeller Foundation
will withdraw its assistance, ard
the park thus be lost. For thew
maintain that the remaining land
can never be obtained without
additional grants Of money from
the Rockefeller interests.
There is no doubt, however.
that the people generally over
the state have lost confidence in
the members Of the old park COM
mission and want the old slate
wiped clean and a new commits
sion appointed. They feel that
the old commission was too highly

1T IS NOW A SYSTEM

It is quite evident that the new State school law
contemplates utter disregard for some traditions
that have been cherished in our educational sys-
tenn, especially as they relate to the community
school house to the custom of families patronizing
certain institutions within their sectional areas
and in respect to all matters of personal prefer
ence.
Education is to be administered under this law
as a system. and the system has for one of its
major detectives the saving of money. In order to
make the $16,O00000 available for schools for
eight months spread out over such extensive
field it will be imperative that the State commits
sion cut corners, eliminate every possible dupca-
ton of expense and operate the schools in more
or less hard-boiled and impersonal manner. That
NAV not be the preferences of the members of the
state commission, but they have an obligation to
the state to meet and this will come first.
The abolition of old district lines, certain de-
velopment in the administration of the law,
carries with it certain surrenders and concessions
in personal desires, in individual choices and in
community prdes which will be given up only with
a pang of pain and regret over the state.
Certain children have been going to the schools
in which their elders educated, schools OF
communities long established as social politi-
have grown up as companions thereto since the
DAYS away back yonder when plain school house
stood as if in sacred wedlock with the house OF
God in the rural community. .......
Under the system, all of these sentimental
considerations go out. Pupils will be transported
to schools to which they can be sent more cheaply
no matter whether they feel at home there or not,
and all of those human, personal touches which
used to be ascendant in school administration must
be sacrificed.
For the moment, this will make for confusion,
disappointment and, perhaps, even to rebellion, but
in the long rum adjustments will remedy much Of
the disturbance which will be Immediately caused
by this method.-Charlotte Observer.
