The llryee r-nmmii. lan. It is pointed out, was .simllariy handicapped. Bins Is Admitted. Thirty-eight witnesses of alleged atrocities lnoltidlnir IS Irish, is American and two Knidish ciii:e'in testified before the commission. Vre; comnilssion iidinils that its report is ex parte In spile of its efforts to he r all sides. The testimony ayailal,l'. Hie report says, irlves the ease then ! fore, almost wholly from the Irish republican or Hinn Fein viewpoint it "from sourccR not unsympnthetic m the application of the principle t.f self-determination to Ireland." '.he Ulster Unionist viewpoint and that of the. Hrltish authorities in Ireland, Un report says, were nut presented among the witnesses. KummiiiK up its conclusions after .hearing all the testimony, the com mission finds "that the Irish people are deprived of the protection of British law, to which they woulu be entitled as subjects of the liritish king. They are likewise deprived f the moral protection grunted by i: -lernationul law, to which they would be entitled as foeligerents. They are at the mercy of Imperial Hritlsh forces which, noting contrary both to all law and to standards of human conduct, have, instituted in Ireland "a terror," the evidence regarding which seems to prove that: Convicts in Army. "1. The imperial liritish govern ment has created and introduced into Ireland a forco of at least 78,000 men, many uf thorn youthful and inexperi enced, and some of them convicts, anu iiiia mciiuu mui lorcc to utlDriulcu violence. "2. The imperial Hiitish forces in Ireland have, indiscriminately killed innocent men, women and children, have tortured and shot prisoners while in custody, adopting the subter fuges of 'rofusul to half and 'attempt ing to escape,' and have attributed to alleged 'Sinn Fein Extremists' the British nssassination of prominent Irish republicans. "3. House-burning and wanton destruction of villages and cities by Imperial Hritlsh forces under imperial British officers have been counte nanced, and ordered bv officials if the liritish government; and elabo rate provision by gasoline sprays and bombs has been made in a number . of Instances for systematic incendiar ism as part of a plan of terrorism. "4. A campaign for the destruc tion of the means of existence of the Irish people has been conducted by the burning of factories, creameries, emits and farm implements ami the shooting of farm animals. This cam paign Is carried on regardless of 111" polilicnl views of their owners, the re sults In widespread and acute suffer ing among women and children. Contrary to CIvill'M-d l.aivs. "5. Acting under n series of proc lamations issued by the competent 'military authorities of the Imperii! British forces, hostages are carried by forces 'exposed to the fire of the republican army; fines are levied upon towns and villages as punish ment for alleged offenses of individ uals; private property is destroyed in . reprisals for nets with which the own ers have no connection: and the civil ian population Is subjected to an In quisition upon the theory that Individ- GOULD NOT KEEP HOUSE Without Lydia E.

Unless moral force could prevail to enil tlie terror in . Ireland, the commission pointed nut. "physical forces seemed bound to continue both to deny ti. possibility of non-intervention of our government In the struggle." "It seemed to us," says .the com mission, "that we could best sorvd the cause of pence by placing before the English. Irish and American public the facts of the situation, free from both agonized exaggeration nnd mor al understatement; for a knowledge of the facts might reveal their cause and recognition of that cause might permit its cure, by those whose pur pose was not to slay, but to heal." Irish I'liNliulties. Regarding casualties, the commis sion says that it is Justified in con cluding that "not more than 600 of the Jtrltlsh have been killed in Ire land from May, 1010 to December, 120. These 000 . casualties would seem to have occurred in a force of 78.000 during a period of four and one-half years. It is pointed out, at uie rate oi not more man .20 of one per cent per annum. On the other hand, according to lists compiled bythe Irish republican government and submitted to the commission, more than 200 unarmed Irish civilians were killed by the military and police during 1H20 alone This number, it was said. Included six women, 12 children, 10 old men and two priests, but did not include per sons killed in the fighting. The com mission says it does not vouch .''or ihe exactness of the figures,, -but "direct testimony," it says, showed the kill mg ot civilians in i20 ran into "many hundreds." The testimony attributed to the Hiitish forces approximately 45,000 raids, entailing "wreckage of prop erty, robbery, murder of citizens, bru tality to priests and women and club dren. and indiscriminate flogging.' .Many of tile raids, it was said, were made at night by "members of the itritish forces dressed in. civilian clothing." StrcBs Is laid upon "the moral con sequenco to the imperial British forces" of the British .government's military policy in Ireland. License instead of discipline, the commission says, now prevails among the troops. "Citizens of the Irish republic," are held blameless for "incidental acci dental and disciplinary casualties In the .British forces, and for casualties incurred under circumstances of general violence and disorder." Many of the excesses of the '78.000 British troops are attributed to the incite ment of tho fear of nssassination In the soldiers' minds by their superiors. England's Glory Lost. "We would extend our sympathy io the great British people, says the commission in concluding its -report. "The army which is 'the insh-tfniont of their government In Irolund would also seem to be the instrument of tho destruction of that moral heritage, which was their glory and which cast its lustre on each and all of them. The sun of'that glory seems finally to have set over Ireland. British "'jus tlce" has become a discredited thing. Tho official Black and Tans in Ire land compete for tho dishonor , of Anglo-Saxon civilization with our un official lynch mobs. We hope that the wrong done to Ireland may be righted nnd the agony of her people cease. When theso things shall be the great British people will onierge from the darkness that , now lncompnssos them Into the glory of a new day. Thirty-six states were represented. in tho ronimltteo w-hlch initiated, the Inquiry, the report says, including five governors, 1 1 United .States senators, 13 congressmen, the niai'ors of 1'i large cities.

On the heels 'of tills tiltlliintum came the bill requiring the foreign language press to file translations of all articles not bona fide advertisements, with the territorial authorities. This measure originated with the American legion. buch a law would put this paper out of business, and.

"It is very radical, he added, "and we could not stand the extra expense." Opinion in Japanese consulate-general circles on the language press bill went a sten farther. There It was re garded as liltlo short of intlmldatory. inc Japanese do not dispute the ter ritory's right to scan their papers, but ;hey say the expense should not be thrust on them. If the Japanese and other foreign language press is to be regulated and censored, they declare, the expense of the censorship should be borne by the territory. "The public of Japan will be much Interested to rend a piece of loglsla-, tion like this," said M; Soga ot the Nippu Jlpi and, It .is reported, . the cable carried a digest of It to Toklo as soon as It had bcon introduced In the. territorial senate.
