This country loaned England five thousand million follars to fight for liberty and Eng- land was now using strangio liberty in Ireland. England claimed she could not pay the inter- est on the loan, and it was a remark- able fact that the interest, about $250,- 000,000, was the annual sum spent on the Black and Tan and other British forces, which the British General Crozier has admitted, have been en- gaged burning, looting, ravaging as- sassinating and hanging in Ireland. Mr. Purcell said every red-blooded American believed in liberty for all nations, Ireland included, and Ireland was now the only white nation in the world whose independence was not recognized. The Irish republic, he re- marked, had brought off a brilliant coup in defeating the British plan to Partition Ireland by destroying British state documents through the burning of the Dublin custom house.

In the course of his address Mr. Harkin, speaking on the demand of the Irish republic for recognition aid: “ “Six of your state legislatures, those of Wisconsin, Montana, Illinois, Pennsylyania, Minnesota and New Versey have already. given recognition and have asked President Harding and the United States government to fol- low suit. “In December, 1918," he continued, “under British law and supervision ‘when most of the Irish leaders were under lock and key in English jails, the Irish people by an 82 per cent vote endorsed the action of the men ‘who in 1916 prociaimeu the Irish re- public. Last summer, elections were again held in the cities and counties of Ireland and the republican: vote was inereased to 91 per cent of the whole country, On this second occasion the ‘women of Ireland had the right to vote, and the second figure therefore represents more correctly the strehgth of opinion in support of the Irish re- | afh public. “But the people did not stop “with voting. immediately set about giving effect to the decision arrived at through the ballot box and set up a national government which’ estab- lished a cabinet which in turn created departments to tranact all the busi- ness pertaining to the government of Treland. 4 7 “Judges were appointed, a police force was organized from the Irish ‘volunteers, a local government board. ‘was established to superintend city and county and district government. consuls were appointed to the United Btates, the South American republics and: the countries of Europe to foster Irish trade and commerce, a direct export trade with the world was in- Atlated “and the government of I land by the Irish people made an established fact. “Lord Northcliffe's powerful news- papers, the London Times and Daily Mail, declared that English govern- ment had been quietly elbowed out, adding, that the new republic was functioning with - success that as- tounded friend and enemy alike. The recognition of that republic by Presi- dent Harding and the United States ment is what we are now seek- ing and tc this end the American as- gociation for the recognition of the Irish republic has been established. “Is the Irish question not largely & religious question, {t was sometimes asked. 3 “Emphatically no,” said Mr. Har- kin. “As well might you say that Catholic Belgium's was against Prot- estant Germany was a religiogs ques- tion.

Durins the past 150 years all the republican revolutionary leaders down to our own day have been Protestants and Presbyterians. Take Wolfe Tone find Robert Emmet, both Protestants and martyred republicans. Their hames are venerated in Ireland next oniy to that of St. Patrick himself. Besides there are the other Proes- tant leaders like Mussel, Henry Joy. MacCracken, John Mitchel and John Martin. A Protestant poet and lead- er, Thomas Davis, may be said to have inspired the Sinn Fein move- ment. ."fhen coming down to our own day we find that there are’ no fewer than three Protestants in the Irish republican cabinet. These are Capt. Robert Barton, who served with dis- finction in the English army during the war, but came over to Sinn Fein. Ernest Blythe, well known journalist and Countess Markievicz of the Goore- Booth family of Sligo. This lady as a girl was presented at court to Queen Victoria. Besides these cabinet min- isters the Trish republican govern- ment has the support of the Protes- tant intelligentsia of the country. * “Major Erskine Childers, son of a former chancellor of the British ex- ehequer, and an officer who was dec- orated for bravery shown fighting the Germans; George Russel, better known os AE., an Ulsterman, political econ- USED PIANOS xew Very Low Price Write for List and Terms | Knight-Campbell’s PENYEF- Green, who wrote ‘A History of the English People.

Did the Protestantism of the Boers sare them when the im- perialists of England wanted their dia- monds. and gold? England does Rok. care’a tinker's damn abcut the religion of any people she wants to despoil. Imperialism has no religion.” In regard to the suggestion that the recogni the Jrish republic would be a‘menage th England, the countries being so elose together, the speaker pointed out: © “ “France is nearer England than Ireland is. Germany tried to justify the invasion of Belgium on a sug: gestion of this kind, but Germany was told that the world must be safe for democracy, not strategy. Canada and Mexico are ne&rer ‘the United States than Ireland is to England, but nobody suggests that because of the fact this country! should seize them, The fundamental fact to be membered, said Mr. Harkin, England has no more land than Germany had in Belgium, or Russia in Poland. Robert Lynd, Uterary editor ef the London Dally News, likened the position of Eng- land in Ireland to that of a burglar in a bank. And he expressed his opinion through one of the leading and most influential newspapers in England. é The Irish people at the election, said, had for a third time within past few days demonstrated their whole-hearted allegiance to the Ir'sh republic. In the south and west of the country 128 republican candidates had been elected without opposition In three of the ‘nine Ulster counties the republicans made a clean sweep by winning every seat. President De Valera‘and.Arthur Griffith, the Father of Sinn, Fein, have been returned for er donstituencies, and even in th@ Your Orange counties, that claim tobe "Uigter” Sinn Fein has thirty- fiv6 percent of the representation. .

They must see to it, he concluded, that the pledge given to Ireland by Benjamin Franklin is redeemed. Mr. Sullivan said recognition with- out intervention is the traditional poli- cy of the United States, and recogni- tion without intervention is all that the Irish republic asked. Irishmen have done their full share in building up this great country. They have been and are*in the forefrent in all walks of life, in the nayy,—Commodore Jack Barry, father of the navy, was an Irfstiman—in the army, in trade and commerce, in the professions, and wherever ability counted. Ireland only asks a square deal such hs was given the other nations. Mr. Sullivan went on to refer to the fight for independ- ence "made by every generation of Irishmen for seven centuries, and showed how the greatest of thenation- al leaders, had been Protestants, giv- ing the le to the British calumny that Ireland's fight was a religious question. Casper, he said, must lead the state in the work of the American association for the recognition of the Irish republic, and he felt sure that in numbers enrolled and work done, they would set a headine to every eity and town in Wyoming. Mr. Sproul said as an American citi- zen, he wished to see Ireland enjoy the same liberty as was bestowed on the Poles, the Czecho-Slavs and all the other small nations. The liberty that we enjoy as Americans was good enough for Ireland, and he hoped, he said, that every citizen would do his Part to see that liberty was secured through the recognition by our gov- ernment of the republic of Ireland. -Mr. Slack speaking as one who had not a drop of Irish blood in his veins also supported the cause of Irish re- cognition, A business meeting of the council will be held again next week.
