Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Irish Question The committee met at 10 o´clock a. m., Hon. Henry D. Flood (chairman) presiding. The Chairman. The committee has met this morning for the purpose of considering House joint resolution 357, introduced by Mr. Gallagher, of Illinois, and other resolutions which have been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs relative to the Irish question. I understand there are quite a number of ladies and gentlemen here from different points in the country who want to be heard on the resolutions, and I will be glad if some gentleman who represents some of these committees or delegations would indicate whether he knows how many there are to be heard, so we can arrange to apportion the time. The committee decided to give four hours to hearing various persons on these resolutions. We would like to apportion the time in a manner agreeable to those who have come to be heard. In addition to the visiting delegates there are a number of Members of Congress, who have introduced resolutions of a similar import, who would probably like to be heard on their particular resolutions. Statement Of Hon. Thomas Gallagher, A Representative In Congress From The State Of Illinois. Mr. Gallagher. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, House joint resolution 357 is simply an amended resolution which was introduced by me in the House about two years ago, requesting the commissioners at the Peace Conference to take up the question of Irish freedom and self-determination. As a result of the introduction of that resolution quite an agitation has gone over the country urging legislative action upon the resolution. A great convention was held in New York City last spring, with delegates present from every section of the United States. They sent a committee here in August - the Mothers Mission, representing the tens of thousands of Irish-American mothers who had sons in the American Army - to present to Congress a petition signed by some 600,000 American citizens asking for action on that resolution. I presented the petition to Congress, and it was referred to your committee. Since that time I have introduced House joint resolution 357, which is the original resolution amended to meet present conditions, and I want to thank the committee for giving us a hearing on it. We have large delegations from different sections of the United States here this morning. They have come long distances, and have been unable to get together and formulate the program.
