President Refuses to Com
lint Himself on Peace
Table Attitude
OBJECTS TO QUESTIONS
Receives Committee Appoint
ed at Hacc Convention in
This City
Prtsldent Wilson eleclareil himself In
empathy with the people ot Ireland
who Ieslr Independence, bur hn refused
to iitAlo wtjal his ottlclal attitude would
'be "at the Peace Confeience, according
ti the official account rt Ills meeting
llli a, special committee In New oru
Tuesday cvenlnir.
The committee was created at the Irish
I'.ace Convention In this cltv recently
It was authorlied to lay Ireland's Calms
to Independence from CIreat UriUIn be
fore tho President
Tie official ncvotint of what transpired
at the nieetlnp follows:
k rreshlent tn Male ttltuile
'After former Justice Goft had Intro
duced various members and ejplalned I
the action of the. Philadelphia conven
Mion In sending them lie beirnn-
" '.Mr. -President, representing as we
do many millions of your fellow Ameri
can citizens, I ask you to pretent to
the Peace Cotiferenco In Paris the right
of Ireland to determine the form of
coernmeiit tinder which she shall live.
Will son do It?1
" '1 do tiot believe T should he called
upon to answer such a question,' the
President answered. I
"Then he explained his position as '
head of the nation and Its ofllclal rep-1
resentatlve at tho Peace Conference.. '
and said ho did not think It fair to ask
him to state what would be his cbure
In Paris. He said he understood he was
only to receive the resolutions adopted
In Philadelphia and to he.tr arguments
ot the delegation.
" 'That was not my understanding,'
Jlr. Ooff said.
' Mr. Wilson turned to Tugene T.
Klncnld, a former Congressman and
member of the committee, and Inquired:
" 'Was that not your understanding?'
Personally In Arroril with Alm
"Mr. Klncald said it was and then
the President went on to explain that
i personally ho was In accord with the
aspirations of the Irish as voiced by
Mr. Ooff and had been for a lone time,
but that he fchould not be called upon
to state his official attitude, no matter
what his personal feelings might be.
"He said ho was not unfriendly to
the cause as the delegation had pre.
sentcd It. but the sltuat'nn with which
ho has to contend Is n er delicate and
complicated one which he must be al
lowed to meet bv methods which seemed
best to him and not ue methods that
might Injure the cause instead of help
ing It.
"Frank P. Walsh, former Joint chair
man of the war labor board, called the
President's attention to his activities In
behalf of tho smaller nation". Tho
President agreed he had been active In
this direction, and again turning to Mr.
Ooft continued:
"I wish ou to understand further
that tho Irish question has not yet been
presented to the Peace Conference.
These countries that are falling Into our
laps, as It were, are doing so on ac
count of the breaking up of the powers
with which we have been at war, and
when the Irish question comes up I will
have to use my best judgment as to how
to meet It.'
"Mr. Goff, on behalf of the commit
tee, then wished the President God
speed and good luck on his coming voy
age, and the President left. He had
spent about twenty-fit e minutes with
the delegation."
