DURHAM & N. O. CALLAHAN 01 N, Grope . I'lvne .!-Y WASHINGTON'. April 1. Religious aspects of the troubles in Ireland are discussed In a report made public here today which supplements the 30,000 word findings of the commission of the Committee of One Hundred inves tigating the IrisL question. The sup plementary report, made by the Pro testant members of the commission, summarizes the evidence presented at the hearings held here in November, December and January, as follows: 1. "Outside of a part of I'lster. Catholics and Protestants live in peace and harmony and their political opinions are not primarily a mailer of reljgion. 'i. "Kven in I'lster religious bigotry is not by any moans wholly spontan eous, but is artificially stirred up by those whose economic and political in terests aro served by dividing the poo- rile. 3. "While it obviously lies beyond our province to pass final Judgment upon the various aspects of the Ulster issue, we have not only a right but a duty as American Protestants to de nounce the degradation of religion by such' pogroms as occurred last sum- mor. Upon this subject we owe It to our fellow religionists both in Amer ica and in Ulster, to speak plainly." All of the members of the commis slon. excepting United States Senator David I. Wai-ih of .Massachusetts, who were chosen by the committee to con duct the inquiry, are Protestants. These members are .iane Addams, Hull Hons Chicago: 1.. H. Wood Lawyer, N. Y.: Frederick C. Lovti, former United Stntes commissioner of immigration, New York; James H Maurer, president American Federa tion of Labor of Pennsylvania; Major Oliver P. Newman, formerly commis sioner of the District of Columbia; United Stntes Senator George W. Nor ris of Nebraska and He v. Norman Thomas of New York. - "No examination of the Irish situa tion can ignore the religious Isse," says the report. "It seemed peculiarly appropriate that the. Protestant mem bers should deal with the subject in view of Ihe overwhelming predomin ance of Roman Catholics in Ireland and the charge sometimes heard in Protestant circles that republican sen- MOTHER'S MEND For Expectant Mothers Osed By Three Seherations WHITE rod BOOKLET OK MOTHCRHOOO AMD THM BABY. MBC E3RADF1ELD RCOULATOR CO,, DIPT. 3-D. ATLANTA. GA. tlment has its chief origin in ecclesi astical agitation." The only evidence before the com mission concerning serious religious controversy resulting In 1 1 1 destruc tion of life and property dealt with the I'lster riots of the summer of 1920. the report says. Unable to ob tain testimony from eye-witnesses or any member of societies "devoied to the causo of Protestant ascendency in Ulster" the commission says it heard tne testimony of three individual non Catholics, two of whom were Amer ican citizens and the third "a ltritish citizen of Scotch Presbyterian stock." As in the case of the major report the testimony of witnesses taken be fore this committee was made public at the time it was given. Referring to the Ilelfast disorders beginning July 21, 1920 in which by the end of August. 50 persons were killed, the commission observed that "these riots between Protestants and Catholics in which the Protestants were the aggressors partook of the character of Russian pogrom against the Jews." One of the witnesses, Mrs. Annot Robinson, the report said, declared that in October 1920 she visited Ulster and found that "more than 20,000 ex pelled workers and their families were existing on relief."- Some of them, the report suid, were expelled? hpt only from their jobs hut from their homes. The victjms, - it . ,.ouUniied, were predominantly Catholic, 'though among them were Protestants suspect ed of "labor, socialist or Sinn Fein synipalhieg.'.j rj .- , -J I :..-.' : The killing of District Commissioner Snivth In i -Covk. jlhb,Bjectiou..of 25 men who "were not Orangemen" to the Belfast City. council, whose total mem bership Is 50; tho alleged expulsion of 4000 nationalist workers from the Ilelfast shipyards; and tho destruction of the town of LIsburn. just outside of lielfast, were designated ns "an np paling record of a' revival of religious strife." i "The Ulster pogroms," the report continued, "wero not primarily due to a spontaneous flare-up of smoldering bigotry but were rather promoted by those whose economic and political interests were opposed both to strong labor unionism and to Irish repub licanism. Certain manufacturers and unionist politicians, It was alleged, had taken alarm at the solidarity of labor, Protestant and Catholic, shown In the great shipyard strike of 1919." A large Ilelfast manufacturer . was quoted as having said: "I know and all the mnnufaclureiB in this city know, that tho trouble is not a religious trouble except as it has been fostered by them to serve their political und their economic, interests ! warned them a long time ago that they were rousing up a monster they could not couuol and which some day might turn upon them." Politic ians and manufacturers, opposed t" the Sinn Fein, the commission says It found, i.ave had "the aid of a large section of the press iml of the clergy." As regards the test of Ireland out side the region inn lia;"ly about Ilel fast the ommf-Kl.' i ays it was "im pressed by the ei:!"tn-e of lack of any religious strife." It als charged that Sir Edward Carson, former leader in Ulster, "would seem to have accepted a home rule act which gives his uarty practically what they want in Ulster at the price of delivering over the Protestant minority In Ihe rest of Ire land to the majority rule of their Catholic neighbors." .The report continued: "In Ireland there was nccording to the census of 1911, l,147,vH4 non-Catholics as against IS.242.o70 Catholics" Of these non-Cnthyllcs S90.SS0 (as compared with 690,Mi0 Catholics) aro in I'lster, leaving 25G.714 non-Catholics (as com pared with 2. 061. 704 Catholics) In nil the rest of Ireland. This small minor ity is. of course, physically at the1 mercy of the Catholic majority. Yet there is on record not one single case of attack upon the life and property of any Protestant on account of his religion. The Catholics were aware of tho Ulster pogroms. They suffered under imperial British forces predom inantly Protestant in religion who did not spare their priests, convents and churches, yet they were guilty of no reprisals of any sort upon their Pro testant neighbors." The alleged "excesses of the British forces In Ireland," the report said, "were tending 'to dispose southern Protestants favorably toward tho re publican government." Protestant business men, clergymen and farmers were reported as resorting to republi can, courts. The commission stated that Miss Mary MacSwiney and other witnesses had called to its attention that "many of tho patriot leaders in Ireland's history were Protestant." It was said that they further testified that the republican leaders included a number of prominent Protestants among them Ernest Illythe of the Irish congress (the Dail Elrrenn), and Captain Robert Barton and lCrskin Childers.
