SAYS SINN FKINKRS
WOULD DIE FOR ER1X
_
SAN FRANCISCO: The Sinn Fein,
“although mistaken in their methods
and for the moment visionary in their
aims,” were characterized as "still
Irishmen ready to dare and die for
Ireland” today by T. P. O’Connor,
Irish jounrnalist and member of the
British parliament, in an address be
fore the Press Club here.
'T think the Sinn Fein, who made
the rebellion in Dublin, are mistak
en in their methods and for the mo
ment visionary in their aims,” Mr.
O’Connor said, “but they never drew
from my lips any word but that of ad
miration for them and for any other
men who proved to the world that
they were still Irishmen ready to dare
and die for Ireland.” <*
