IN FEIN DEMAND
FREEDOM OF I H
Griffith Assorts Poople Asked
tndependonce and He Can't
1 Change Mandate
MacSWINEY GROWS WEAKER
' By tho Associated Press
Dublin, Oct. 7. Itcports thnt the
Sinn Fein organization has become di
vided against Itself wero vigorously
denied hero yesterday by Arthur Grif
fith, lender of tho organization, (luring
, long interview with the Associated
Press. He reiterated charges he re
cently made that raids of roprlnl were
a result of n "calculated policy of
British Government officials," and
challenged Sir Hamar Greenwood,
chief eccretary for Ireland, who re
cently denied these charges, to submit
them to an investigation by an im
partial tribunal to be appointed by the
British Government or the I'nlted
States Supremo Court.
' , "There will be no settlement except
tjpon the basis of Irish independence."
Mr. Griffith said. "Tho nrltlsh Gov
ernment authorities am making a npe
cinl effort to terrorize the IrNh people
nnd force them to nbandon their claim
for the independence before the Urit
ish Parliament reassembles nnd the
American presidential election is held.
","The government hns made us no
J)ioposnl. nnd is trying to ignore our ex
stence. We have a mandate from our
pcoplo to set up n republic,
tua
and until
that mnmlate is withdrawn we have no
authority to accept anything less than
complete independence."
"Is there n stnte of war In Iro
ln8?" the correspondent asked.
"Ireland hi IMS." Mr. Griffith re
plied, "peacefully nnd constitutionally
registered its voto ror lnuopcnucnqc,
according to the principle of self-deter
mination enunciated uv America unu
accepted by England In her hour of
need. Since then England has been
seeking to ovorcomo tho ballot by the
bullet. She is waging ngatnsi ircwnu
nn economic war, re-enforced by mur
der and arson.
"The fact Is that in nil districts
whore tho republic's power is maintain
ed thero is perfect pence and security
for all classes, but wherever English
power is entrenched there Is nothing
but bloodshed nnd bnrbarlsm."
Can't Curb Irish Spirit
Tho correspondent asked what effect
recent reprisals would have on the
people, and Mr. Griffith replied:
"Walt until next election. You can
not conquer Irish Bplrlt by oppression.
Any inconvenience the reprisals have
given tho Sinn Fein has been less than
the difficulty occasioned to accommo
date the rush of Unionists to our
ranks."
One of the most sensational charges
Mr. Griffith made was that many un
tried political prisoners had been "tor
tured in prison with medieval methods
to force them to give false Information
ngainst Irish leaders." He declared he
would later mnUo these methods pub
lic. He described a system called
"planting" which he alleged had been
adopted recently in night raids.
"The Hritish Government," bo as
serted. "Is sending on these raids men
disguised as English officers or Dublin
policemen. They nic called 'planters.
They carry ammunition nnd forged
documents which they place, say, under
a bed and then call In soldiers to search
the house where the papers have been
deposited."
Lynch Marked for Death
Mr. Griffith declared John Lynch,
county councillor of Limerick, who wan
shot to death in a Dublin hotel on Sep
tember 'J2. was on a list marked for
nssusslnatlon. He said Lynch knew ho
was going to be shot, but thought.lt
was safe for him to bo In Dublin. t
He declined to express nn opinion
as to what would happen if Terence
MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, who is

Asked for a statement as to the Sinn
Fein attitude, toward the Ulster boy
cott, he replied:
"Tho Irish parliament has decreed
that any religious or political test Im
posed as a condition (o Industrial em
ployment is Illegal. It Is a matter of
indifference to us whether such n con
dition is imposed in Belfast or else
where In Ireland. Thero is no Ulster
boycott."
Discussing a proposed inquiry to be
held in New York city rclotive to tho
Irish situation, he said that In the event
witnesses wero unable to sail from
here, owing to passport difficulties, he
would suggest that a delegation bo sent
to Ireland to take depositions.
London, Oct. 7. Leaders of the Sinn
Fein have Intimated that, although they
desire complete separation of Ireland
from England, they would not oppose a
broad measure of dominion home rule,
if it can be proved a majority of the
Irish people demand It, sajs the Dally
Mall. This Intimntlon, the newspaper
declares, was given in res.nonso to ap
proaches made by the Irish Peace Coun
cil, a body of moderates from all parts
of Ireland, which has just completed
a plan for dominion home rule. In the
Island.
Prior to adjournment of Parliament.
members of this council interviewed Pre
mier Lloyd George, who told them that
before submitting any scheme they must
bo ablo to nssure him of sufficient sup
port in Ireland to guaranteo that the
scheme would bo workable. This sup
port the council claims to have obtained,
and tho Mall asserts the premier will
receive n deputation from the organiza
tion next week to take tne initial step
in the scheme. The first thing that will
be dono, tho newspaper says, will be
the creation of a constituent assembly
for Ireland, in which Ulster will be
given representation.
MacSwIncy Very Weak
Tcrcnco MacSwIney, lord mayor of
Cork, who this morning begon the fifty
sixth day of his hunger strike at Brix
ton prison, passed it fairly good night,
but did not appear very much refreshed
early today, according to it bulletin Is
sued by the Irish Sclf-Detcrmlnatlon
League. He wob very weak, but other
wise thero was no particular change In
his condition, the bulletin added.
The noon bulletin of tho league read :
"Except that he is very tired, there
Is no change In Lord Mayor MacSwi
ncy's condition. The doctor who vis
ited him tills morning sas lie finds the
mayor's body in n shocking state of
emaciation nnd is unable to state how
long he will live."
