Former Chairman of the Committee on Public Information of the United
States Go vernment.
The world is asked to tonsider 4
Ireland merely as “England’'s do
mestic problem.” Certain ecireum
stances, unyielding as {ron, preclude
the acceptance of any such view. ‘
Not even by the utmost stretéh of
amiable intent can a question that
strikes at the very heart of In
ternational agreement be set down
and written off as “domestic,” That
magic formula, “self-determina
tion,” has marched armies and
tumbled empires these last few
years, playing too large a part in
world consciousness to be limited
by any arbitrary diserimination in
the hour of victory and adjustment,
Bven as Poles, Czechs, Jugo-
Slavsi Ukranians, Finng and scores
of other submerged nationalities are
struggling to the upper air of In
dependence so does Ireland appeal
to the solemn covenant of the Al
lies, with its championship of the
“rights of small peoples,” and its
sonorous assent to “the relgn of
law, based upon the consent of the
governed.”
IRISH PEOPLE UNITED. |
As never before the Irish are
united. With the exception of pro- ‘
testing majorities in four Ulster
counties, Ireland voted as a unit in
1918 for a republican form of gov
ernment. The 73 representatives
elected by the Binn Fein refused to
take their seats at Westminster and
h-:: assembeld as an Irish Parlia
ment, of sorts, in Dublin,
The' thousands of Britlsh soldiers
in Ireland virtually constitute an
army of occupation.
In America the race has put aside
the factional bitterness of the past,
‘and stands solidly and squarely in
support of Ireland’s demand for jus
tice.
It is this that gives the Irish ques.
tion an American aspect, In the
United States there are over 15,000,-

000 people of Irish birth or descent,
woven into the warp and woof of
our national life by common aspira
tions and devotions. They stand
implacably today between this
country ant England, crying out
against any alllance, agreement or
even amity until the case of Ireland
has been fairly considered and just
ly settied.
Such a mase, Instinet with intel
ligent emotionalism, ean not be ig
nored either in honor, decency or
plain common sense. This is a de
mocracy in which the treaty-mak

that for 40 years the cause of Ire
land has been pleaded unceasingly

cern with the Irish question save
as it bears upon the destinles of the
I'nited States?
1t is idle to adopt a tone of heavy
reproof and talk of “America first.”
America has always been first with
the Irish-American, for while love
of Erin is an unchanging passion,
hig alleglance, once given, |8 never
divided by a hyphem,
Men cf Ireland gave heart and
strengh to Washington; they died
by thousands that the U'nion might
endure, and of the army raised In
the United States to war against
German absolutism, fully 15 per cent
were of Irish birth or Irish de
scont, :
It ix with thig record of love »nd
loyalty behind them that the Irish
call upon America to lend hope, it
not aid, to their unhappy mother
land. It i# a call to which some
port of answer must be glven,
OTHERS FACE PROBLEMS.
Other nations, as well as this, are
confronted with the same problem,
for there is not a civilized country
in the world in which the Irish ex
iles have not played important parts,
enriching and encouraging the na
tive stock and lending their ardors
and @bilities to every national task,
whether war, statecraft or admin
igtration, commeree, industry or lit
erature,
Not the least or many bitter
nesses of the Irish is that the Eng
lish rule forces them to rise to
greatness in other lands, writing in
every language in every history a
record of capacity which if ex
pressed in their native country,
would have lifted Ireland to a high
place among the nations,
Macanley, commenting in melan
choly upon the cruel laws and re
pressive bigotries that forced Irish
men into exile, said:
“There were indeed Irish Roman
Catholles of great ability, energy
and ambition, but they were to be
found everywhere except In Ireland
—at Versailles and aj St. Ildefonso,
in the armies of Frederick and in
the armles of Marie Aheresa One
exile became a marsghal of 'rance.
Another became Prime Minister of
Spain. If he had stayed in his
native land, he would have been re
garded as an inferior by all the ig
norant and worthless squireens who
had signed the Declaration against
Transsubstantiation,
. *ln his palace at Madrid he had
the pleasure of being assiduously
ecourted by the ambassador of
(leorge the Secdénd and of bidding
deflance in high terms to the am
bassador of George the Third. Scat
tered over all Kurope were to be
found brave generals, dexterous
Irish diplmatists, Irish counts,
Irish bargns, Irish knights of Saint
lLewis and of Saint Leopold, of the
White Bagle and of the Golden
Fleece, who, if they had remained
in the house of bondage, could not
have been ensigns of marching reg
iments or freemen of petty corpo
rations,"
FRANCE INDEBTED TO IRISH.
France, in partioular, still relJ
under a heavy burden of gratitude
to the Irish. In 1641, in 1690 and in
1798 the French promised aid to
Ireland, but gave so slowly and so
little that it was more of a hurt
than a help.
Yet out of the friendships engen
dered by this sympathy, thousands
of Irishmen entered French service
to fight the battles of France, In
the 50 years that followed the
broken treaty of Limerick, fully
450,000 Irish died fighting under
French bnnnol;. and countlesg oth
ers vitalized Prench industry and
enriched the French professions.
Patrick Sarsfield won the bfpton
of field marshal at the head of the
famous Irish Brigade, and publicly
received the thanks of a grateful
people in an hour of victory; Ma
hony and Gaels carried the lilies of
France to triumph in Italy, and on
the field of Fontenoy, England's
most overwhelming defeat since
Hastings, Irish fighting men played
80 important a part that the Eng-
Ysh King cried out in his angulsh,
“Cursed be the laws that deprive
me of such subjects.”
)noluh?‘n was made Duke of
Magenta, like Sarsfield he was made
a fleld marshal, and later the free
votes of the French people raised
this exlled Gael to be President of
the n&:blle.
In in, Wall was a Prime Min
fster, as Macaulay noted; the
O'Donnells were Dukes of Tetaun,
an O'Rellly was Governor of Cadiz,
and three times during the eigh
teenth century there was witnessed
the amazing spectacle of Irishmen
werving as Spanish ambassadors at
the Court of St. James,
In Portugal the O'Neills were
counts of Santa Monlca and tutors
to the young princes, and men of
the proud houses of O'Daly, O'Don
nell, Kelly, Fitzgerald and O'Far
rell roge to be dukes, barons, min
isters, judges, generaly and admi
rals,
The great J.einster house of Kav
anagh supplied Kurope with a Gov
ernor of Prague, a fleld marshal in
Vienna, a chamberlain of Saxony,
a fleld marshal In Poland and a
minister of Portugal. The O'Don
nells and O’'Briens, changed to
Odontscheffs and (’bmtnvhegu. rose
to greatness in Russia, and one whs
%overnor general of L{vonla; Count
aafe wielded autocratic power in
Austria, an O'Dwyer was command -
er at Belgrade, a Lawless Governor
of Majorea, a Lacy ruled Ria and a
lally reigned in Pondicherry,
SERVICE OF EMPIRE.
The British Empire itself has not
scrupled to take the abllities of Irish
for use lin other countries than Ire
land, or to wear laurels won by
Irigh genius. :
The great Duke of Wellington
was an Irishman, and even while
England was donylnf the capacity
of the Gaels to rule themselves,
four Irishmen-——Richard Wellesley,
Franclg Hastings, Rghard Bourke
and Frederick Blackwood-—were
gent as governor generals to hold
sway over all India,
Guy Carleton, the greatest gov
ernor general that Canada ever
knew, was an irishman; likewise
Lord Dufferin, Jonathan Swift, that
savage M’fla"m: Lawrence Sterne,
¥dmund Burke, Richard Brinsley
Sheridan and Goldsmith were all
Irieh, and Goldsmith's “Deserted
Village” was no mete poetie vision
but a faithful picture of an Irish
village depopulated by English law.
It is the United States, however,
that has nuntlin?fl the most Inti
mate relations with Ireland, just as
it hag received the mcst and the
best from the love and loyalty of
the Irish.
From the very earllest days there
was kinship between Ireland and
the American colonies, for the some
kings werae oppressing both coun
triex, the same cruel lawg bore
heavily 1?011 both,
Benjamin Franklin, ghile in Eng
land on his futile ‘lnd of ap
peal to Bnglish justice, gave much
time and thought to pointing out
the sameness of Irish and Ameri
can wrongs and aspirations, and
one of the first acty of the Conli
nental Congress was to frame a
formal address to the people of Ire-
Jand in which these significent par
agraphs appeared:
BRITISH GOVERNMENT CRUEL.
“We are desirous (as is natural
to injured innocence) of possessing
the good opinion of the virtuous
and humane. * * * We know
that you are not without your
grievances. We sympathize with
you in your distress, and are
pleased to find that the design of
subjugating us has persuaded the
administration to dispense to Ire
land some vagrant rays of minis
terfal sunshine.
“Fven the tender mercies of ‘the
British' Government have long been
cruel toward you. In the rich pas
tures of freland meny hungry par
asites have fed and grown strong
to labor for itg destruction. We
hope the patient abiding of the
meek may not always be forgotten,
and God grant that the inguitous
schemes of extirpating liberty may
goon be defeated. * * * For the
achievement of this happy event we
confide in the good offices of our
sympathizers beyond the Atlantic.
Of their friendly dispositions we do
not yet despair, aware ag they must
be, that they have nothing more to
expect from the samie common ene
my than the humble favor of being
last devoured.”
In every one of the thirteen colo
nies were thousands of men and
women of Irish birth »sr descent,
exiled from thelr mother land by
the oppressions of English rule, and
it was largely their bitter hatred,
ag well as their passion for free
dom, that gave purpose and cour
age to the American complaint
against British tyranny.
SIGNED DECLARATION.
These Irishmen signed the Decla
ration of lndarendem‘e-——(fnrroll. of
Carrollton, Smith, Taylor, Thornton,
TLnch, McKean, Read, Rutl»dfi‘e.
Hancock, Whipple--and into the
armies of Washington poured thou
sands of fighting men of pure Irish
- blood. i
Edmund Burke, ralnln{ the ques
tion of the nationality of the Amer
fcan troops before an English Par
lamentary Commission appointed to
investigate t[:e failures of British
generals, quoted the declaration of
(General Lee that “halt the Rebel
Continental Army were from Ire
land.”
Lord Mountjoy also gave this
testimony in 1784: “America was
lost by Irish emigrants. 1 am as
sured, from the best authority, the
major part of the American army
was composed of Irish, and that
the Irish language was as common
ly spoken in the American ranksas
Knghsh, 1 am also informed it was
the'r valor that determined the con
test, so that England had America
detached from her by force of Irish
emigrants.”
Four months before Concord, a
New Hampshire Irishman, John
Sullivan, afterward one of Wash
ington's most famous generals, won
the first great success of the Amer
foan Revolution by his capture of
Fort Willlamm and Mary. O'Brien,
ancther Irish exile, struck the first
blow at British sea wwor in 1775
and John Barry, a Wexford man,
wus virtually the founder of the
American navy,
PRAISED BY GENERAL.
Among the generals upon whom
Washington most depgnded, Rich
ard Montgomery, Walter Stewart,
William Thompson, Stephen Moy
lan, Willlam Irvine and Richard
Butler, were Irish exiles, while
among the generals of Irish par
entage were Kdward Hand, Wash«
ington's adjutant general; John
Stark, Brown, Marien, George
Clinton, afterward the first Govern
or of New York, and Knox, after
ward Secretary of the War and
Navy.
The Irish not only x\w their
blood to American freedom, b
their money as well,. When the
Bank of Pennsylvania was organ
fzed to supply funds for the support
of the American army, one-third of
the subscribers, representing more
than ene-third the capital, were
members of the F‘rlmdry Sons of
Bt. Patrick, and this organization
later contributed outright the sum
of $517,600 of a total of 81,500,000,
Washington praised this society
o “distinguished for the firm ad
herence of its members to the glo
rious cause In which we are in
volved,” and accepted membership
in it as offered by a unanimous
vote,
Irieh ald wae nnt nfined to these
shores alone, howevcr, for Count
Arthur Dillon sailed with 2,300 Irish
troops from France to fight for
America in the West Indies. It was
thig force's capture of Biitish bases
that relieved were men of Irish
birth or parentage, and it is eati
mated that not less than 170,000
Irishmen fought under Lincoln for
the preservation of the Union.
Gieneral Thomag Francis Meagher,
an Irish rebel, deported for life by
the English Government and es
caped from Van Dieman's Land to
the United States, #as among the
first to offer his swerd, and this
testimony, from a Britsh observer,
might well serve as a general de
seription of Irish conduct through
out the struggle:
“To the Irish division commanded
by General Meagher was principally
commitiell the desperate task of
bursting out of the town of Fred
ericksburg, and forming under the
withering flre of the Caonfederate
batteries, to attack Marye's Helghts,
lowering immediately in their front.
“Never at I'ontenoy, at Albuera
or at Waterloo was more undoubted
courage displayed by the sons of
Erin than during those six frantic
daslies which they directed against
the almost impregnable position of
their foe. The bodies, which lle in
dense masses within 40 yards of the
muzzles of Colonel Walton's guns,
#ire the best evidence of what man
ner of men they were who pressed
on to death \vrth the dauntlessness
of a race which has gained glory
on a thousand battleflelds.”
When the United States, driven
to war by the outrages and ill-faith
of ‘the Imperial German Govern
-ment called for men to support the
fdeals of democracy, the most in
stant and enthusiastic response was
from the so-called Irish-Americans,
Hatred of England, handed down
from geéneration to ~ generation
through seven centuries, was put
aside out of devotion to the country
of their adoption, and the records of
the War ()ffice are thick with Irish
names and instances of Irish valor.
WAIVED EXEMPTIONS.
Prior to the adoption of the
treaty arrangements, such unnatu
ralized residents of the United
States as were citizens of a co
belligerent country had the right to
claim exemption when drafted. The
report of the provost marshal shows
that this class waived exemption in
the following percentages:

Just as they have fought side iy
side with pure native stock in every
American war for the preservation
of democracy and the triumph of
democratic ideals, so have the Irish
played herolc parts in the victories
of peace.
In the advancement of the fron
tier, the parnessing of streams, the
batile wlih mountain and plain, the
conguest of desert and waste, men
of Irigh blood have left *records of
achievement that deserve our grat
itude and faith,

Chief Saves a Negro ‘
From Conger’s Wrath
Chief Beavers turned patrolman
Saturday night ana stepped into the
middle of a running fight just in time
to save Jim Jackson, negro, of No.
85 Terry street, who was scrambling
wildly to escape a second blow from
a section of iron pipe wielded by Roy
K. Conger, 25, the son of Councilman
Tandy Conger,
Nearing the Conger grocery, at No,
19 Bailey street, the chief stopped his
automobile near a crowd and leaped
out, The negro was rushing past,
sternly pursued by the younger Con
ger. Joining in the chase, he stopped
the hostilities just as Conger caught
the negro Fire Station No. §, near
the Peters street viaduet.
He arrested both and took them to
police headquarters. Jackson was sent
to Grady Hospital with a deep gash
in his secalp, and Conger was glven
a summons and released. He declared
the negro had come itno the store
drunk and had begun an argument
finally striking him.

Gieorgia 18 found to be in bad shape,
and that recommendations for im

be advocated.
. During the investigations the spe
clal workers attached to the commis
sion have visited many institutions,
including schools, reformatories, jalls
and orphanages, making detailed in
spection of the inmates.
. The first study dealt with the rela
tionship between feeble-mindedness
‘ahd pauperism and dn;n-ndmcg. Sev
eral degenerate families In eorgia
were surveyed through several gen
erations of history, and the ifnmates
of certain orphanages were insSpected.
Next, in arriving at the relationship
‘Letween mental deficlency and adult
crime, the State prison and several
county Jjails, typical of their class,
were visited,
. To arrive at the juvenile vice and
idellnquonry situation the following
institutions were chosen: The State
}Rnrnrmnmry. the Fulton County Re
‘fnrmntnr\'. the Georgia Industrial
Training School and large groups of
cases in various juvenile courts,
} The relationship of mental deficien

common schools was ascertained by
visiting a number of schools in the
northern part of Georgia, representing
the mountain section; in the ~en

and in the southern part, for the
