By ABs sie 4 Page Four FREE STATE OF IRELAND HIDES _ FAMINE FACTS, McCarthy Tells of the Starving Thousands NEW YORK, April 20.—The Irish Free State is hiding the true facts of the serious famine Irish peasants and | fisherfolk are suffering from on the west coast of the island, says John Patrick McCarthy, returning from the | famine area and now on speaking | tour of the United States for the Irish Peasants’ and Workers’ Famine Re-} lief committee, 19 S. Lincoln St., Chi-| cago. The contradiction of the Free State government is shown in the fact that) for the first time in many years the} government is supplying school chil- dren with bread and cocoa lunches while officially denying the famine. | Even the $25,000 sent over by C al Hayes from America back by the Free State government, | which is dependent upon foreign loans | and tries to keep up the appearance | of @ prosperous Ireland as good se-| curity for further loans. Thousands Starving. Hundreds of families in the Kerry} district, McCarthy reports from his | experience, are living on one meal aj} day and have not seen a potato—the standard Irish food—on their tables | since November. About 750,000 peo- ple are in the famine area. The long-| continued bad weather is blamed by | the peasants and fishers for the fam- ine. For months the rain has poured | down daily until the ground is too soaked to grow potatoes or even grass for the sheep and cattle and the storms at sea have prevented the fish- ing folk from venturing out. The} peat fuel has been so soaked that it would not dry and the people have had nothing but a little furze and scrap wood to burn for heat. British Steal Fish. 1 ‘The Irish peasants say that condi- tions have not been so bad for 75 }front May ganizations as to their | rangements. years. The British steam trawlers, supposedly barred to beyond the 3- mile limit in Irish waters, come right into the bays and destroy the fish or take them so that the Irish fishers must starve. The sheep and cattle are diseased from under-feeding and damp. Thatch roofs are rotting on peasant huts and the occupants suf- fer from illness and damp. There is no seett for the next season so that even worse conditions are expected next year. Refuse to Pay Rent. In Donegal 30,000 peasants have re- fused for six years to pay rent to the government because of their ex- treme poverty. In other districts the people are forced to live by begging from more fortunate neighbors. Many Lepers Cured.

Milwaukee, Wis., April 14, 1925. The DAILY WORKER, Builders’, Column, Dear Comrades: Recently in Russia, when the So- viet government was floating the-gold loan it was cus- tomary for the workers subscribing to the loan to name their comrades in the same city or in the distant point calling upon them to do their share. It was a calt and a challenge. It worked something like this, Ivan Ivano- vich in Moscow would write: “I subscribe to a ten rouble bond and call upon Stepan and Mary of Leningrad to do the same.” I wonder if we could not do the same in our second annual sub-drive? Let me start the ball rolling. I am sending you three subscriptions to the paper and call upon Comrades Vera Fomenko, Yoker and Meyer of South Bend, Ind., to do the same. What is wrong with South Bend? It used to be a pretty active town. And now they are not on.the list. I expect to hear a reply to my challenge in the near future. Fraternally yours, GS.
