Iri s h-Am ericans Believe
Dominion Move Under Way
American Delegates Now In Emerald Isle, Voice
Opinion That Lloyd George Is Determined to In
augurate Dominion Move for Ireland Defy At
tacks of Unionists, i a
By ROBERT RITCHIE. V
(Universal Service Staff Correnpendent )
(Special Cable Dfepatch.)
Dublin, May A2. If the indignant
Irish unionists believe the Ameri
can delegates, Messrs. Walsh, Dunne
and Ryan, are not 'assured of their
position in Ireland or that they
may blunder into a situation leading
to their deportation, they . widely
miss their guess. 1
After an all night trip from Lon
don, accompanying Frank 1'. Walsh,
chairman of the mission to Dublin,
I am in a position 10 say that the
delegates have assurances from the
highest sources safeguarding their
every step; else they would hardly
have dared to venture upon this ex
traordinary mission, now assuming
not only parliamentary proportions,
but an international aspect
, Apostles of Freedom.
For it is indeed an extraordinary
position the delegates hold. Each
day they remain m Ireland they are
heightening the Sinn Fein en
thusiasm, already near boiling pitch.
Devotees are traveling by cart or by
foot for many miles, maintaining all
night vigils, just to get a glimpse
of the unofficial American apostles
of Irish freedom. i
No Irishman could dare to do
what these delegates av doing with
out hindrance. Yet Mr. Walsh,
who acts as a sort of diplomatic ad
viser to his associates is letting the
impetuous Mr. Ryan do most of the
speechmaking, has the canniest idea
just where the danger lies and just
how far certain safeguards .received
in Paris will carry the delegation.
I think that, being Irish the
humor of the situation appeals to
all three.' They know they have
given the most tremendous impetus
to the Sinn Fein movement . since
the Easter rebellion and they appre
ciate the wrath which they are find
ing on all sides. The unionist at
tacks in Parliament do not hurt
them. And last, but by no means
least, they love a (fight.
Believe in Dominion Move.
Perhaps it is not letting the pro
verbial cat out. of the bag to say that
if the delegates talk loudly in behalf
of complete independence of the
Irish republic, they are overstating
the demands. They have a shrewd
belief that Lloyd George is deter
mined to inaugurate a dominion
movement for Ireland.
The demonstration in Limerick,
only recently dominated by' tanks
and steel helmets, was almost hys
terical. -When Messrs. Dunne, and
Ryan entered Limerick they found
the city hung: with American flags
and the republican green, white and
gold. Detachments of Irish volun
teers guarded the approaches to the
city hall where the freedom of the
city was given the delegates in the
afternoon. People from County
Clare had walked all night to be
oresent Archbishop Cassel sent a
letter expressing his regrets that he
could not come.
"It was the outpouring of a deliv
ered city's heart," said Governor
Dunne to the correspondent after
wards. ' , '., .
Meanwhile the Dublin unionists
have' adopted a resolution expressing
grave concern at the presence of
the three Americans in Ireland and
asserting that they are "defying the
authority of -the crown."
I , ,
According to an Associated Press
dispatch from Dublin, the- three
American delegates Messrs. Walsh,
Dunne and Ryan visited the Sinn
Fein prisoners in Mount Jay prison
and later called on Archbishop
Walsh.
At a reception tendered them by
the lord mayor, members of the
corporations wishing the Ameri
cans success iii their efforts to
secure jrish 'freedom. Mr. Ryan,
replyingsaid he believed the United
States meant when it entered the
war that all peoples should have the
right to determine the government
Wider which they lived.
The Irish people, he continued,
had selected their own form of gov
ernment and it would come per
haps in six months, perhaps within
a year.
