Today the Dublin chamber of com- merce, a body of mixed politics, held a iargely attended meetinz at which deep concern was expressed for the present lack ‘of ‘security to life and property. There was condemnation voiced against those who “are playing freakishly with the vulnerable machinery of trade.” Sir Horace Plunkett was the chiet meaker. He sald he thought the people of the United States must be puzzled to know what is happening in Ireland at the present time. He declared that he sup- ported the provisional government be- cause it was doing its best to obtam freedom for Ireland. It was showing high courage in this effort.
