STORY ATTACKED
 BY IRISH PRESS
Alleged Bombing COnspir. acy Against British King,
 Queen False News

Michael Whalen of Chestnut ave- nue who returned this week from Ireland in his travels about the country took pains to inquire into the affair some months ago of the bomblngs in and around Belfast on the occasion of the visit of the king and queen of England. Mir. Wha- lens knowledge of the affair Rs well as others in this country who have no direct contact with the Irish Free State, was what was published at the time in our American press which more often than not iS by way of England. AS we recall, at the time the bombings In the north were reported to be the work of Catholics and especially Catholic Irishmen not afiiliated with the De Valera party.
 Irish Press
 In the progress of his inquiries MT. Whalen's attention was called to an article in the Irish Press of September l0, part of which fol. lows: MT. R. M. Hunter, honorary organizer of the Empire movement, which was responsible for . great portion of the decorations in con- nection with the recent royal visit to Belfast, said he came to Belfast six months ago, because like tho average man from across the water, he believed that the Irish were un- civilized and did nothing but shoot at each other. He believed that the Irish people lived in little white washed houses where pigs and fowl ran about That was the picture which the average English. man saw of Ireland"
 The article goes on to say that the English press distorted their reports of the event to the detriment of the Irish people, "and said that the mine which exploded in Academy street Gin BelfasD on the day of the visit was not set of by Catholics nor dis. loyalists as had been alleged. It was not even set off by Ulstermen. It was purely the work of the Eng. fish press.
 Manufactured News
 Tt was sent over from London" he said, ito be exploded at the Customs House in Belfast, In order that they could get sensational news in Ulster, but the men who took over the mine had not the gutS to put 1t there, because they knew they would be torn to shredS; 60 they took 1t down to an old wares house about Q quarter of mile from where the king was."
 The Irish Press story concludes, "the story was on the printing ma. chimes of ..ie papers on the previ- ouS night, according to Mfr. Huns ter.
