SAYS FREE IRELAND NECESSARY TO PEACE . f By Associated Press PHILADELPHLV, Feb. 24 Speaking before the convention ot Irish race, which opened here today, Justice Daniel F. Cohalan, of the New York supreme; court, said that unless the' doctrine of self-determination be applied to Ireland, there can be no just and permanent peace- coming out of the work of the peace- conference. "When our great president laid down the fourteen points upon which peace was to be made, a just, durable and permanent peace," said Justice Cohalan, "he placed no restrictions upon the application of those doctrines. He said that self-determination was to be given to all peoples without conditions or qualification. If now that doctrine is to be applied only to those peoples who were oppressed by the countries that were in arms against America, then our struggle will have been largely In vain, and no just or permanent peace can come as a consequence of this partial application of the president's doctrine of self-determination. "If the war just ended was fought only for the purpose of breaking down one form of militarism in order to establish more permanently another form of militarism, the war will not have brought about the end for which the people fought and bled and sacrificed, and war and a continuance of war, instead of peace and permanent peace, will be the necessary outcome of the settlement which falls to apply the doctrine of self-determination to all those who seek to be free."
