Thomas, British*labor leader, told the Amer- ican Federation of Labor convention today that it would not “For 100 years we in England Have been confronted with the Problem of Iteland and if we at home cannot solve that problem let me ask how do you, 3,000 miles away, expect to solve it?” Mr. Thomas adur@ised the convention as a frater- hal @élegate from the British trade Won ‘congress, Ufitieh labor,” he continued always stood and stands now for lib erty, We stand for home rule for trelana at me. warn you against cny agi- te vom that might disrupt your move tent here in America by creating dif ‘er*H@es among yourselves. Do not mistake me. British labor stands for Irish freedom; the only limitation we insist upon is that Ireland shall not be allowed to become a menace. “Bor over 100 years, people of Ire land have: been deceived. Fee 100 years they have been fed up on prom: teseS—broken promises, by British Statesrheri. Now the Irish people are looking to you. “I'warn you against trying to create in their minds the feeling that you Gin solve their difficulties. You can't solve by passing resolutions this prob. Jem that has existed for the yast 10) years.” Mr. Thomas’ remarks immediately brought a response from Irish sym pathizers among the delegates who demanded the right to question him. After the. British leader had an- Swered several questions ‘regarding the acts of the military in Ireland President Samuel Gompers stopped further debate. In answering Timothy Healy of New Yuk, one of the leaders of the Irish ‘ympathizers, Mr, Thomas said that “Militariam may goon to doom—but it will not solve the Irish problems." SOLATION OF NATIONS DEPLORED BY THOMAS. No nation can “lock itself up in a watertight compartment” and isolate itself from the rest of the world and prosper," said Thomas, who is also president of the International Federa- ron of Trade Unions. “Da not make the mistake that any nation in the werld totes can’ build @ wall around itself,” said Mr. Thomas. | “Do not pelieve that it is ‘possible for any ¢ountry to isolate itself, to) hold itself aloof from ‘world. affairs, ‘Only a féo! Ana fanatic would belleye) that. Today every nation in thé world! is dependent and ihterdepengent upon each other.”’ Disarmanient, Mr. Thomaa declared, “ig the only ‘pariacea for the world’s} itlay The only triumph. and . justifica- tion,” he said, “for the lives sacrificed in the- great; world war will be the knowledge that they have died. th: war may be impossible in the future." No nation is entitied to claim credit for winning the ‘war, asserted the la- ber leader, adding, “let us: realize we all shared a common sacrifice and) shared in the glory of victory. Don't {ure the winaiug the war with the ning of peace. M “While I believe the war won, I am apprehensive as to whether we have won peace.” “We have also been living in arti- ficial prosperity—a fool's paradise," said Mr, Thomas. “The workers of the world also are suffering the in- ev.iable price of living @ riotous lite curing the last six yearc." He pointed out that of the “artifi- clal prosperity” was due to the mis- takes of the’ governments “confusing paper money with wealth.” ‘This, he he said, had resulted in the serious depression’ of the value a@ currency, abroad.
