printe minister of England, and that
in all likelihood the safe conducts
would be granted. but that Mr. Lloyd
George was very destious of havingl
an inlerview with the American tomn
mlissi oners personally and woillwil Ibe
glad to have Chairman Walsh take
up the matter of fixing the timle anld
place for the meeting with Mir.
Lloyd George's confidential secrec
tary, Mr. Philip Kerr.
The commlission notified Colonel
House at once that they did not s.eel:
a conference with Mr. Lloyd George;
doubted very tmuch th wisdol of
propriety of meeting him. but final
ly agreed to do so asi a iatter of
courtesy.
Later in the day the entire ncoiti
mission called uponli Ct'o. House attl
stated that, uItider the circ'uln tall td es
they did not wish to be relegated to
Lloyd George on t!he question of tlhe
issuance of the sate condtll s. biut
were relying upon hii,. C'ol. oll.nse.
as one Of the Alllerictall m tllllllissiOll
ers, to secure comlplian'e with the
reqluest, if possibie. With this clear
understanding they would meet the
prime mlinister.
Mr. Lloyd George. on the plea of i
being closely ocicupied with tlh lpre
paratioln of the Gelrman peace terms.
put off the proposed meeting with
the delegates from timie to titme, co
ering a period of sonliething like two
weeks.
The American commlnission finally
called upon ('ol. hiise, cexplaiued
once more that ino part of the duties
of their mission called for a nieeiting
with Mr. Lloyd George, and asked
him to address a formiial requttest for
the safe colnducts fol' Messrs. 1)(e Va
lera. Griffith and Plunkett. toi iri
Lloyd George, and sccul'e, if possibll.,
a promipt and direct ainswer to thatl
request.
Upon thie satle day. ildtl shortly
before the visit of the cotmtmitissiOln to
Col. House, Messrs. Sean I'. O'('eal
laigh and George Gavun D)uffy. the
representatives of the Irish republic
in Paris, conveyed an invitation from
President De Valera to the collllllis
sion to visit Dublin, and gave, among
other reasons, the necessity for a
conference upon matters of griave
importance at the time traltnspiring
in Ireland.
Delegates Visit Ireland. t
When we ,arrived at the office of i
Col. House ill the Hotel Grillno that t
evening to receive ansewer froml \tr.
Lloyd George, we found Sir William
Wiseman. the liason officer between
the American and British embassies
in Paris. He presented the apologies
of Mr. Lloyd George for the delay.
and said that Mr. Lloyd George 1
would like to fix a time for tlhe in
terview upon some day of the follow
ing week. Mr. Walsh, speaking for
the commission, replied that if they
were to remain another week in Par
is before receiving an atnsvwer to their
request for the safe conducts, they
wished to use the timne in a visit to
Ireland for the purpose of meeting
the represenltatives of tile Irish peo
ple and of making a first hand in
vestigation of conditions in Ireland.
As the passpIorts of the members
of the conmmission 'iid not include
England and Ireland, it was neces
sary to have theim amendtlted. which
was expeditiously done, the amended
passports reading that the memll ersl
of the comission were going to Ire
land on an "unofficial political mis
sion," and the forlims of the lpassports
were made diplomatic, which greatly
faciliated their movements
)Demands Full IRelportl.
It should be noted that after the
visit to Ireland demands were lilade
in the English parliamlent for a full
report from the primne minister as to
whether or not it was true that lie
intended issuing safe conducts to the
Irish representatives, and also if it
was his purpose to ha\'e an interview
in Parish with the lomembers of the
Anmerican comniission.
Mr. Bonar Law, leader of the
house of commlions. lmade official an
swer for the prime miniister. and sta
ted that Mr. Lloyd George had not
and never had the slightest inten
tion of granting safe condtucts to the
Irish representatives. He said that
Mr. Lloyd George had agreed to the
visit of the Anlerican comlnisssioii to
Ireland, hoping uponl their lr turl
that he could press upon themll the
"English point of view." to he used
as propaganda in America.
The lord chancellor. officially re
plying to the same question ill the
house of lords, likewise denied, on
behalf of the prime minister. that
there ever was any intentioln to
grant safe conducts to Messrs. Ie
Valera, Griffith and Plunkett, and
declared it was the purpose of the
prime minister to have present at his
interview with the American otnl-
tnission upon their return fronl Ire
land, all of the Aimerican newspape-r
corespondents. so that he (the prilme
iminister might make a statement
of England's attitude on tile Irish
problenl, which would tend to allay
the growing prejudice against Eng
land in the United States.
Requested to Visit Belfast.
When the passports were handed
to the American commissioners on
the morning of their departure for
Ireland, Sir William Wiseman stated
that Mr. Lloyd George wished the
commission to go to all parts of Ire
land, if possible, and it was his spec
ial request that they should visit in
Belfast.
Upon repeating Sir William iWise
means request to Messrs. O'Ceallaigh
and Gavan Duffy. the Irish envoys
at Paris, they joined in the request
that we should make a close investi
gation of 'conditions in Ireland, and
especially urged that we should visit
the jails, particularly those in the
larger cities, where, they asserted,
lllldr eds of Illell a nd women were
con0fined tnder circumstances "of the
most shocking nature.
1010.000( Soldli(es inl lIrelnlt(l.
Crossing the Irish sea from Holy
head to I)unleary we came upon the
first evidence of the military ocru-e
pation of Ireland. The vessel and
wharve.- swarmed with soldiers, fully
equilpped for the field. going to and
coming from Ireland,
When we arrived in Ilrland we
found soldiers everywhere. A care
f'ul irnvestiga tionl made on the day
before we left Ireland, showesd that
the irluiy of oc(cupationi numberied
conlsiderahly over one hundred thou
sand men, to which additions are be
ing made daily. The Iroops are
equipped with lorries, armored car's,
tanks. Iiachine gunsll, bombing planes,
ands light and heavy artillery, and
in fact all of the engines of war late-,

In addition to this, there are alp-n
)proximlately 15.,ti0 members of the
Royal Irish tonstabulary. T'he con

After our arrival in Ireland we
icoinferrel with President De Valera
ac to the iprisons which we should
visit, and Mioultjoy jail, in the city
of )llblin, was selected, for the rea
son tllat it conltained a large numlllber
