Cardinal AssaiIs Presence
OF Troops in ireland

fN me Associated Press
DUBLIN, Fire, Sept. 28.-Cardinal
Macrory. Roman Catholic Arch
bishop OF Armagh, said yesterday at
Cavan, Erie, that he found it "ex-
ceedingly hard to be patient when
he thought of my own corner of my
country cverrun by British and
United States soldiers against the
will OF the nation"
The partition of Ireland he said.
was ''f1acrant and intolerable in
justice against Catholics doomed TO
live under the narrow and un lust
domination of the Belfast Parlia-
ment and executive.
When l read day after day that
this war is being fought for the
rights and liberties of small nations
and then think Of my own corner of
my country overrun by British and
United States soldiers against the
will of the nation, confess I some
times find it exceedingly hard to be
patient"
The cardinal is a native of Ulster
and the little Ulster town of Armagh
is the ecclesiastical capital for both
Fire and Northern Ireland The
cardinal literally presides over AL
Ireland the church never having
followed the territorial division OF
the island, and thus he refers to
my own corner OF my country"

The act would include game fish

latory powers and gives the COM
mission power to close or open any
