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-

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.
