HE ACCUSES SINN FEW OF BAD FAITH Says Cork Mayor Was In Conspiracy Which Caused Death of 85

I BY EARLE C. REEVES 'STF CORRESPONDENT I N. SFRVICE1 WNDON, Sept. S Terence MacSwm - 1 ey, lord mayor of Cork, who ha? been j Ti a h-jngcr strike for 27 days, was in a comatose condition in Brixton and scarcely recognised his Muriel, when she visited him this; i morning. I Mr;. Ma'5wmy breaking d-,wn in-Ier the? strain of her lng vigil. .!-. wa on t be erge of collapse t, day. j An official bulletin ls.-tied at i-'cIock said that the lord mayor's con- . i'1'.ion ) "unchanged." f MacSw-iney is s'rffering acui pain nd ha a fever. A brief . religion ' service wan conducted at the b-dsi 1 , this morning by the Rev. Fa' hf r Pom-i r;ck, personal spiritual adviser to toe stricken lord mayor. I 'Terence dozed fitfully during th'j r.!gh, but was .very weak." said tn j c'ergyman. j (iGORGG IS ADAMANT i Prrmier Lloyd Grorge, in an inter-j i ifv given t the Daily News, i nil i - j cited that h will insist' that Mac-; S'v:nf y and lit- ot iter Ii !h 'htine.r j tr ".cer be kt't bfhird the bars. ; "Th 0r'K. lord mayor was engaged in a general conspiracy which result ed in the d"ath of S5 policemen and; nt mpted a .-.assinat ion 3 of 78 others' r(i the government certainly has a duty to perform toward its police! force." the rrcmier was quoted a; paying. , It is r.ot right to compare Mac -; S-rciney and the other Irish hunger; strikers to the suffragettes who nevr killed anyone. If we let thm out ou cannot govern Ireland. tVha Is f govern Ireland if not the British, empire? .1 certainly should not be ; responsible for the creation of an in-: dependent republic in Ireland. If we' had had that during the late war thej British empire might have been desroyed by Germany's submarine waY. It wis a tough go as It was." ' INVOI.VF.H 9KPARATE ARMY The premier declared that Dominion home rui for Ireland involved a sep-: ara" Irish army and navy and also a; firancial q'-Kstlon in the matter of pay-! ment for the war. England must make up her mind, whether or not Ireland Is to be retain-. d as part of the British empire." cont'ru?d the premier. "Our enemies must understand that the British empire is n"t done for yet. Thy will find that' out to their cost." Referring to a statement by Arthur' Griffith acting president of th Irufi! republic, that no peace proposals had; cme from the British government,! the premier added: t ' It is impossible to treat with menj who deliberately lie time after time.j TVe have said that, short of actual sec-! ration, we are willing to meet their, 'he Sinn Feinersj leaders. This docfr not satisfy them. What they want! is a formal, invitation to the Irish re-j public to attend a peace conference afrer the manner f the poles and the; Russian soviet. Put the British g"v-i ernment will never be coerced into ad-i opting such a policy." i REPLIES TO I)E VAI-EflA TheRev. Father Dominic has sentj the blowing reply to the cablegram; received fromE. DeValera. "presl-' ;lnt of the Ir'sh republic," who :sj low in the V .
