TKAL Chicago Auro mm cms ism* <GEORK» WASHINGTON. UT. *4»- AMERICA'S INTEREST In so far as the strode of the American olonists under Washington «H « light for independence their cause was? Identical with that of Ireland, but inasmuch as America had been a colony of the British Empire and colonized by British subjects its cause was rf»t identical with the cause of Ireland. This point was brought out in a clear way by President Qe Valera in his address at the Congress hotel, Chicago, Monday evening. He had been referring to the comparison of Lloyd George of Ireland to the South and to De Valera as another Jefferson Davis, "and tho," the Irish president said, "this you will admit was not a bad introduction of myself to the South and the southern people, still it was not true." Moreover, he said the Revolution in this country was not similar to Ireland's revolt ex- **t In degree pointed otffc above, for Ireland never was, is not now and never will be a British colony. It was, it is and it will always be a distinct nation. England was America's "mother country," it never was Ireland's. "There are two governments today in Ireland," tfr. De Valera said, "the government of might and the government of right, the govern ment of the people, for the people and by the people and the government of the despot." The official attitude of the government of the United States at present is the recognition of the government .of might instead of the government of right. He was in this country primarily to secure recognition of the government of right. In answer to some who object that America should stay out of the dispute between England and Ireland, Mr. De Valera said that we had by our official attitude (recognition of England's rule of might) already interferred and that since Lloyd George and other British statesmen had repeatedly announced to the world before America's entry into the war in Europe that she (England) was engaged in a war for the freedom of small nations ( which deceived no Irishman) America herself thru her prtaMHfet had also many times declared that the purpose of the war was for selfdetermination of all peoples everywhere and for the freedom of the world from militarism, England thought she might be offended by American recognition of Ireland's claim, had under the circumstances no right to be offended. Besides why should America hesitate to do what her declared. purpose given to the world as a reason of her entry into the war had made a point of honor. True the immediate reason of America's entry into the struggle was defense of her own interests and by the victory of the allied forces that had been achieved, but her higher purpose was the freedom of the world from militarism, and as long as Ireland is under British mi'itarism the higher purpose of America in the world war has been and remains unachieved. The question for America to answer is, which will she do, accord recognition to England's strangle hold Ireland and thus throw into the discard aft her high professions as recognition to Hie Irish Republic, which is the only government admitted by tha Itiftil people. The address was received with enthusiastic (tamonstrsttons, of approval by the 700 auditors and at the close resolutions were drafted protesting recognition of Sir Auckland Geddes as representing Ireland, and requesting recognition of Patrick Garland of the Republic of Ireland. Besides the address of President De Valera addresses were made by the Honorable Eugene F. Kinkead and Dean tyobert M. Lovett of the University of Chicago. The former spoke from the standpoint of an American who had been a major in the United States army, the latter as an Englishman who saw the grave faults of the land of his fathers. Major Kinkead's address was magnificent and several times brought the large audience to its feet cheering. lite dinner was given by Edward Hines, D. F. Kelly, F. J. Lewis and Joseph P. Griffin to honor President De Valera of the Irish, Republic.
