Gifts That Men Prefer From This Exclusive Men's Store Irish Republic Declared to Be Functioning. A JL - ;V AMERICAN SUPPORT URGED Justice Cohalan and Bourke Coch ran Among Those Advocating Action by United States. TITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND, COG HOFU 1 1 11 111 I MM II 1 1 1 1 1 11 M I II 111 I 111 I 11 II II J 1 li 11 111 II I 1 1 1 I II 1 I 1 I 114 IM WASHINGTON". Dec. 13. Argu ments for and against diplomatic rec. ognition of the Iriwh republic were continued, today' before tlie house foreign affairs comrhittee, which is considering a bill to appropriate funds to send diplomatic and consular rep resentatives accredited to the repub lican government. Headed by Justice Daniel P. Cohalan ct the New York supreme court, rep r;entatives of various Irish organi sations in this country told the com mittee that such recognition not only would follow out the self-determination pledges of President Wilson, but would stabilize the struggling repub lic and convince Great Britain that her domination in Ireland must be surrendered. In closing the argument for the bill. Bourke Cockran of New ! York declared .conditions in Ireland I "infinitely worse" than they were in Cuba when the United States inter vened there. The only speaker opposing the bill was George 1. Kox of New Haven. Conn., who continued the speech he began yesterday in general denial that the republican government was functioning sufficiently to deserve , recognition. . iie asserted mai me movement did not have the united support claimed for it in Ireland, and that many stories of mistreatment of the Irish by British authorities were myths. Crime Harei Jails Knll. A big crowd again attended the hearing, and although the session was not so tumultuous as 5'esterday there were frequent bursts ot ap plause. "If any member of this committee," paid Mr. Cochran, in his closing ar gument, ''were to make in Ireland a Fourth of July speech advocating the principles of the declaration of inde pendence, he would be put in jail. Although it is a country freer of crime than any other in the world, there are more people in jail than anywhere else and the crimes with which they are charged are the very things you celebrate as virtues." This situation has existed In Ire land, he said, since the Xormau con quest. It was evident, he added, that "England can never govern Ireland in any other way." Asked if he favored war in case Kngland took offense at passage of the bill, Mr. Cockran said his reply was that of Lincoln before the Civil war when he said: "L.et us not .be frightened by threats of dangor to our country and dungeons for our selves." Alleged Precedent Cited. "That is my answer." said Cockran, "to a question of what may follow an act of Justice by the American peo ple." Mr. Cockran said diplomatic recog nition would be a "most formidable step towards Irish freedom." Arguing that congress had prece dents for such action, he cited the policy of the United States toward Cuba. Porto Itico and the Philippines and asserted ' that Sinn Fein courts were functioning in all parts of Ire land, except Belfast and Dublin. "The only trouble is when the police try to stop these courts, as in Belfast and Dublin," he said. "The Sinn Fein courts yield justice and the whole population is yieldir.g to these courts." "The Irit-'h race cannot be exter minated. That was tried for three centuries and failed. If it cannot be exterminated then the Irish race must be emancipated." World War ldenlK H aimed. "The entry of the United States into the world war raised the struggle to the plane of a 'great crusade' for jus tice to all," Mr. Cockran said, urging that recognition of Ireland would be notice to the world that this country was continuing that pledge. No action was taken by the commit tee, which adjourned with the an nouncement that the matter would be taken under advisement. 4 presents SrwV rr"'-- xiicni rr mk !
