THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1921. ~ GIBBS ADVOCATES " DOMINION FOR RISH English Writer Says Home _ Rule Similar to Canada Is Solution of Problem. Dominion home rule, as enjoyed by Canada, Australia and South Africa, will be the uitimate solution of the Irish question, cording to Sir Philip Gibbs, English writer and lecturer, in an address on “Ir Yast, Present and Future” at Theater yesterday. Powerful forces, he sald, including || the British labor party, noted educa- tors and other distinguished profes- | [i| sional men of England, were working Indefatigably at present with that |/} goal in view. Deploring _existing conditiens in Ireland, Sir Philip said he had come to America to present thé perplexing . problem to the people im and he implored those in t try who have the interest of Ire-|li Jand at heart to lend their support in aiding the home rule movement. Interrupted Several Times. i . Several times during Sir Philip's | address he was interrupted by mem-, bers of the audience, but when he| can make the United States and | land go to war over the Irish question” | he was roundly applauded by his - auditor: #history of Ireland and attributed the | troubles between north and south Ireland to the dispatch of the Scotch into Ulster by James 1. He con-| demned Bricain for strangling Irish | ||||f industry in the old days, but blamed such action to the p: ge of the penal laws, which, he said, affected England as well as Ireland. “It was an age of cruelty the world over,” he declared. “not alone for land, but for the masses of all Europ: countries. Industrial conditions in land, as well as Ireland, were strangled, 8o it is not fair for the Irish to build up their history on something separate.” Cites Beneficial Acts. In relating the many beneficial legis- | | said had been in- || Iative acts, which strumental in ma perous country, the speaker cited the land purchase acts of 1893, and the Win- dom act of 1903, when, he said, more than 2,000,000 pounds had been sub- scribed by Englishmen for the better- J ment of Ireland. . The speaker paid tribute to the 170,000 Irishmen from all parts of Ireland who “gallantly fought side by side with the allies,” and denounced the “many blun- ders of staff officers in handling the men.” “Instead of holding out a friend- }y hand to Ireland at the time,” said Sir Philip, “red tape, brass helmet methods were resorted to, which even P Lloyd George was compelled to ac- knowledge ‘as most stupid.’ " Describing 1e “Easter insurrection” as a “stab in the back, at time when | Engiznd was fighting for civilization” | Sir Philip said that it was the exe- cuticn of the leaders, “justifiable, but Ireland a pros- poor statesmanship,” that turned the | | Eoeat majority of Ireland to Sinn ein. “Commenting on present condtlions, | || the Englishman decried reprisals, and denounced the black and tan forces as “a disgraee to those British soldiers who fought Germany.” Better Element Rules. “TFe only excuse I have to offer for the actions of these men is that they! i are young, and are fighting an in- visible enemy. Your officers well | know the brutal instincts developed by men compelled to face guerrilla warfare " In conclusion Sir Philip declared that the better element in England will settle the Irish question, and he . hoped satisfatcorily. “Ireland has| declared war on England. We were | | not scared by the Germans, and we won't run up the white flag to the Irish.” APPEAL FOR AID. i Belfast Committee Says Workers Can No Longer Contribute. . An appeal for aid from a joint com- | ‘Mittee representing the Belfast labor party and the Belfast Trades Union . Council was received yesterday by Peter A. Drury, chairman of the hon- orary American committee for relief in Ireland. The cable stated that owing to wide- wpread unemployment in England, it was impossible for the workers of |||l| that country to contribute funds any | longer. and that labor groups of Ire- Jand and Scotland were unable to! continue the little assistance they ||| had been giving. Mr. Drury said last night that local trade unionists were responding gen- erously to appeals made to them nightly by speakers working in the cause of Irish relief, and that he felt = = declared that “no group in America ||| LANSBURGH & BROTHER 420-30 SEVENTH STREET NORTHWEST—PHONE FRANKLIN 7400 .
