CONGRESS ASKED TO HASTEN
IRISH FREEDOM RECOGNITION
Portland Hibernians at their picnic on
Council Crest yesterday adopted resolu
tions urging the United States senate to
hasten along recognition of Irish inde
pendence, Senator McNary and Senator
Stanfield were called upon to support
resolutions to that end which are now
resting in the hands of the senate's for
eign relations committee.
Adoption of the resolutions followed
an address by Frank Lonergan, the
principal speaker, who said Ireland was
struggling against the same enemy
whom the American colonies fought and
that the Irish were waging a war for
the same liberties demanded by the
colonists.
"Can we, as American citizens willing
at all times to stand behind the funda
mental principle of right of peoples to
nay for themselves under form of gov
ernment they shall live, deny the Irish
people who have by an almost unani
mous vote declared themselves in favor
of a republican form of government, the
right of recognition? The people of
Ireland have always held the torch of
liberty. Long before Aim. 'can inde
pendence was even dreamed of, yes, for
more than seven centuries, they have
been advocates of the principles enunci
ated in our Declaration of Independence,
equity. Justice and self-government.
Today they are going through what
the colonists suffered during revolu
tionary times; they ere passing through
their Valley Forge and we extend to
them the same sympathy that they gave
to ear
The picnic was largely attendee. The
speaking was preceded by patriotic
exercises at which Ed P. McBride read
the Declaration of Independence. Monte
Austin, tenor-robust o. led the singing of
"The Star Sparigled Banner."
L. P. Morrow was chairman of the
committee b charge. In opening the
exercises he declared that the Hiberni
ans were Americans whose sympathies
are with the Irish in their fight against
the British crown for independence.

Much waste in fabric tires

THERE are fouror five mil

When they sec themselves being

and 'seconds" what do they
think?

Some people seem to feel that
the spread of cord tires has made

Others have the idea that fabric
tires get less attention because they
run to smaller sizes.

record as to how
they feel about it.
