DISTRESS IN IRELAND
THE APPEAL FOR FUNDS PRESIDENT COSGRAVE’S COMMENTS (Rec. January 20, 11.5 p.m.) London, January 19. Interviewed regarding an appeal De Valera’s supporters are making to Australia, New Zealand nnd elsewhere for funds to relieve distress, especially among the dependants of political prisoners, President Cosgravo said ir-. regulars would . regard the subscrip-’ tions as an evidence of hostility to the Government, and disbursements therefrom would bo an encouragement for renewed destruction. President Cosgrave admits that unemployment in Ireland is serious but the dependants of prisoners are not in a worse plight than families which are deprived of their breadwinners or business men ’ ruined by the irregulars. The interned in Juno numbered 12,000 and now they are 1800. He hoped to liberate in a few months all those against whom no criminal charges were proved or pending.--Syd-ney “Sun” Cable.
