PORTLAND, Or., July 16. Declar
ing that tho object of tho Hibernians
is to unite all Irish societies into ono
great unit with tho ultimato purposo
ot freeing Ireland from English rule,
President Matthow Cumm!ng3 ot tho
Ancient Order of Hibernians began
the work today of completing ar
rangements for tho national conven
tion which convenes in Portland on
Tuesday.
In outlining tho work of tho Hi
bernians, Cummings criticlsod Roose
velt, saying that ho "advised English
to adopt a policy of cruelty," in his
famous Guild Hall in London speech.
Cummings asserted that tho Irish do
not recognize George V as their king.
"World wide Hlbernianism is the
object of this year's convention. Wo
seek an affiliation between Irish
American organizations, namoly Clan-Na-Gael,
United Irish leaguo and An
cient Order ot Hibernians, so that by
the power of united influence we may
more effectively awaken Irish spirit,
and enlist nil of Irish blood in the
world wido campaign to freo Ireland
from English fetters.
"We do not recognize George V as
king of Ireland. Nor will tho Irish
ever recognize him as such. Eng
lish rule is the ruin, tho bano ot Ire
land. It has delayed national devel
opment and scattered tho Irish peo
ple. Home rule in Ireland means
realizing freedom's Ideal.
"Roosevelt in his Guild Hall speech
advised England to adopt a policy of
cruelty. England's policy has always
been cruel, and for Roosevelt to so
advise them was unwise, unpopular
and unpatriotic.
"As American citizens of Irish
blood we repudiate and condemn such
sentiments. It is imperialism ot the
most brutal kind. Ireland has suffer
ed for eight centuries from the very
policies that Roosevelt now recommends."
A merchant who advertises only
when "in the mood" is attempting to
regulate commerce by his moods
and it can't be done.
