APPEAL OF
IRISH TO
WILSON
PARIS June 12- (Correspondence
of I'he Associated Press:)— A specia
appeal in behalf of Ireland was made
to Piesident Wilson by Sean F. O’
(Yallaigh, the Sinn Fein “representa
tive of the Provisional government <>»
the hish republic.” when the Irish
delegate laid the Irish memorial be
fore the Peace Confer* nee. The ap
peal was contained in a letter to Pres
ident Wilson asking him to urge the
Peace Conference to invite the Iris'i
National representatives to he present
at its deliberations. Mr. OYeallaigh al
so '.need President Wilson to support
th«* claim to freedom which the Irislt
representatives wish to lay before thi
Conference.
Referring to the memorial in which
he had recited the claims of tin* “Irish
republic” to a right to join the League
of Nations as an independent .
Mr. (VCcallaigh wrote to the Presi
dent :
“To what has been said in that
mi morial, urging the justice oi lettin:
Ireland's claim to freedom he heard
before a Political status hateful to her
is stamped with the aproval and en
foiced by the power of the tree na
tion- of the world, may 1 not add tha
the people of Ireland look hopefully to
you in a special degree for counten
ance and support notably because you
are the honored President ol that re
public which counts among its most
loyal and devoted citizens the greatei
pint of the Irish race and because the*
recognize in you the clearest ex
opt of the principles of freedom tin
world has seen since the days ot
Washington.
“In their latest exercise, last Pec*
“inber of the inherent right of seH
leteimination the Irish people at this
eld crisis, have been profoundly in
1m< need and inspired by the words
vou have spoken, the principles you
have expounded, the rules of interna
tional conduct you have promulgated
tnd have brought the nations to ac
knowledge. In these utterances they
have found a source of great encour
agement and highest hope. In particu
lar they affirm, as applying specially
to the case of Ireland, the following
passage in your speech ot Septemhei
27, 11)1 S. in New York.
“The issues are these:— Shall the
military power of any nation or group
of nations he suffered to determ in-?
the fortunes of peoples over whom
they have no right to rule except bv
light of force? Shall strong nations
l>e free to wrong weak nations and
make them subject to their purposes
and interest ? Shall peoples he ruled
and dominated eten in their own in
ternal affairs by arbitrary and irre
sponsible force or by their own will
and choice? Shall there he a common
standard of right and privilege for all
peoples a'nd nations, or shall there be
a common concert to oblige the obser
vance of common rights? *9
“In the clear light of these great
words the Irish people, filled with
hope, ask your mighty influence to
prevent the exception of Ireland from
the principles of freedom and justice
