Ho will also present the claim of Ireland to the Democratic party convention, nnd will endeavor bo secure the adop tion of a plank In the platform of the partv to bind them to recognition of the Bupubllean government of Ireland. The result of his nppearance nt the Re publican convention has not yet been officially communicated to us, but It N clear that so far that party arc not prepared to declare themselves definitely for recognition. "This portion of my report would be Incomplete if I did not refer to the nt tltude of Supreme Court Judge Daniel F. Cohnlan and John Devoy toward President De Valern nnd his mission. The ministry lenrns thnt these two men have never given their wholehearted Minport to the president In his cam paign. At the very outset they used their utmost endeavor to prevent n launching of the bond drive, and they nttempted to force the president into the position of ncceptlng their dictation In nil matters of policy connected with his mission. The president has defi nitely refused to nllow his judgment or his action to be dictated by these men, nnd the success of. his tour nnd of the bond drive arc proof of his wisdom in the matter. Must Bo Decided In Ireland "The stand taken by President De Vnlera Is that the policy nnd uction of the Irish people must be decided in Ire land. "The co-ordination of Irish opinion In the United States, as well ns In Canada and Australia, has received at tention from the president, nnd certain proposals in this connection will be put before you. You will nlso be asked to take certain steps in connection with a campaign fnr recognition of the repub lic in the United Stntes. "Your representative in the Argen tine republic wns, shortly after his ar rival there, conscripted under ttie mili tary service acts of that country. He has now, however, boon released from service nnd is cndcnvorlng to organize Irish opinion there. lie is much handi capped by the want of a sultuble paper with which to educate public opinion. He has laid before the Argentine min istry n proposal for the establishment of n review to be printed in Mpuinsii. The ministry is in communication with the president regnrding this project "In conclusion, I wish to say that tho president has expressed himself as ex tremely satisfied with the manner in which the light has been carried on in Ireland during his absence. The con structive side of the uctlvitics of the Dall and tho ever-increasing extent to which they arc assuming the functions of a de facto government, is one of tho greatest arguments for recognition.

DE VALERA ADMITS BIG POLITICAL FUND 1 Washington, Aug. 10. Bamon de Vnlera. "president of Ireland.", in nn interview here today admitted In detail the chnrges contained in London cab cs to thn Punuo LiEfiOEn regarding the use of "Irish republic" funds in American pontics. .ur, ue Vnlera said he hart not seen tno docu mctitfl which "nurnorl" to contain his official authorization to spend $1,600. OOfl in the United States. Mr. De Vnlera then prepared for the Pi'DLio IiEDOEn tho following state ment: "I have seen the dispatches you re fer to. I am unable to make certain from internal evidence whether they nre genuine or not. I have not so far myself received the official minutes of Hint session of our congress. As n rule the congress prints nnd publishes a full report of its transactions. Copies of these In the pnst have been eagerly sought out by the Ilrltish In order to be destroyed. The difficulty for us was to procure the desired publicity. "The last session was secret not because the congress desired It to be so. but beennso its mcetlne place, or the fart of Its meeting at all, could not be mnde public without Its delibera tions being interfered with by the Brit ish army of occupation. However, as T have said. I must wait before I can tell for certain whether the dispatch Is n genuine record of the proceedings or not. "Your same correspondent recently filled columns of your paper with a document which the Ilrltish palmed off ns the present constitution of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Internal evidence-proved, as I showed on the dnv on which it oppenred here, thot It it ever was the constitution of thnt body it could only httc been its constitution prior to the ratification of the republic by the vote of the people. That I was right In this conclusion was subse quently corroborated when I secured a copy of the existing constitution which obliged every member nnd every one of the heads of the brotherhood to take an oath of allegiance to the people's elected government. Similar tricks may have been played upon him this time. "The British nre so hard set at the present moment thnt they catch nt n straw. They see that Northcliffe's ad mitted expenditure nf $lf,0,000,000 in British propaganda here might as weli never have been made. They are begin ning to realize that Instinctive love of liberty In the breasts of Americans has made them proof against the prejudice which he Kougnc to creaio uerc. "My colleagues, however, may have made those allocations you refer ti. They were aware even before the Chi cago happenings that owing to the pres ence of what I may call a certain In sulating material nt the point of con tact between mo afid the Irlends of Irish Freedom executive I could not, Mlth certainty, lcly on the support of that executive to the extent which might be necessary If valuable oppor tunities for furthering the enlighten ment of tho American people on the rights of the Irish government to recog nition were not to bo lost. "The case of the Republican con vention is a good illustration us n con -creto case in point. I wanted the Irish rouse brought forward there In the most public mnnncr possible. Ireland n cause Is so good that it cannot suffer by publicity. All that (s necessary Is to get the people to understand It to understand that at this moment by continuing to give official recognition to the Kngllsh Government, so called, In Ireland they are siding with the English against Ireland helping might against right. "To me to lose such nn opportunity ns the convention nfforded for getting our case before the public would be n mlnmltv when our people nre engaged In n llfc-and-dcath struggle with mili tary autocracy as they are at present. "At the Inst moment, when I dlsJ covered that the executive heads of the Friends of Irish Freedom did not In tend to net In the manner which I felt duty to our cause dictated, 1 acted my self", though nt the eleventh hour, thiough those friends whose views co incided with mine. I wns enabled to do this because I had seen to it that iirnvlslnn wns mndo In advance for lust such a contingency. I had seen to It that the American people would not bo deprived of the opportunity of judging and recording their verdict on our enso by the Inability of Ireland's counsel to reimburse tiie railway or out-of-pocket expenses of those who were wil ling to come to Chicago or clsewhcic to testify on her bchnlf. "As a matter of fact, however, quite a large number of those who came to Chicago, nnd even those who came the fnrther distance to Snn Frnnelsco. to use their legitimate influence in Ire land's behalf, lefused to accept reim bursement for those out of pocket ex penses. "These nre the only expenditures that have so far beeu necessary. The Irish congress probably wanted to make sure thnt should the Insulation from the Friends of Irish Freedom organization continue, whatever steps of n similar nature I might deem it necessary to take in the future, I should not be de barred by lack of funds nor be pluccd in a position In which the 'power 'of tho purse might be used against inc. The tlmo was too critical f6r our nation t6 tnko any risks of that sort. "These money votes of congress if they nro genuine nro simply concrete votes of confidence so to speak. They flhow, too, the Importance the Irish people's representatives attach to the question of recognition by tho United States, for In making allocations they had to weigh the relative importance of the various proposed undertakings of the government nnd set tho maximum that might be expended on each in ac cordance with their estimation of the value of each project to thn nation nud the tolal sum available in the treasury."
