Bellas and its hinterland more than ever represented an outpost of industrial Britain in Ireland, Belfast was effectively one comer of a great industrial triangle... ‘As the Home Rule Bill loomed nearer and nearer the Unionists prepared to resist. Although they were opposed to Home Rule {for any part of Ireland, in practice they now concentrated thelr preparations in Ulster. Already they had established a separate Ubster Unionist Council (UC). __. a meeting was held atthe gate of Workman, Clark & Co's shipyard (the smaller of the two Belfast shipyards) by the Belfast Protestant Assocation, an extreme politco-reigious group. There was a show of revolvers and it was decided to drive the ‘Sinn. Feiners' out, Then, in the words of one of the expelled workers: "Men armed with sledge-hammers and other weapons swooped down on Catholic workers in the shipyards and didn't even give them the chance for their lives. .." ‘The fetion that only Sinn Feiners were to be expelled was soon disposéd of. All Catholics n the two yards were put out, together with a number of Protestants of radical or labour views. . . . . .the most important event to mark the close of 1920 was the establishment of the Specials. There was an angry debate at ‘Westminster in October with J.R. Ciynes ofthe Labour Party saying that the government were arming the Orangemen, and Joe Devlin pointing out thet 300 of the Special Constables recruited in Lisburn had resigned in protest when their colleagues were charged with looting. He declared *.. the Protestants are to-be armed. . .Thelr pogrom is to be made less dificult, Instead of ‘paving stones and slicks they are to be given rifles.” Slege or Pogrom: 1921-24 Despite the widespread Loyalist violence {in 1923] the intemees were all Republicans. They were by no means all IRA men. In Co, Fermanagh Cahir Healy, a local writer, county councilor and soon to be a Wesiminster MP, was ‘lifted’. So were Sean Nethercott of Enniskillen Urban Council and Thomas Corrigan, the secretary of the County Council. In Deny, Eugene ‘McGillgan, a county councilor and Sinn Fein Candidate for North Derry in the 1918 election, was ifted. Many of the men intern ed were not to be released until the end of 1924. A Protestant State -the Unionist leaders were not fre agents: they had mobilised the Protestant masses to resist Fiome Rule and inclusion in the Free Stale, through the poley of discrimination and the ideology of Protestant supremacy. Now thelr followers were seeking their reward. Ifa lasting loyally othe new state was to develop among the Protestant masses, they had tobe given a privileged position with it, Moreover a government of industrialists and businessmen was no doubt not unmindful of the fact that a policy of fer avrondixe merrgerotl fap WHERE, SHOW.

If you really want to see an end to the violence in Ireland you'll need to accept one of our arguments. We want troops out because we believe that only when the British army stops propping up Loyalist illusions will Loyalists begin to think in terms ofa united Ireland in keeping with the majority of the country. And when we say ‘Brits Out’ we also mean the dismantling of the armed ‘security forces’ who are at present being groomed to take their place at such time when the British army's presence becomes ‘too embarrassing for the British government. BUT YOU WANT THEM TO LEAVE NOW! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. THERE WOULD BE CHAOS! ‘The only further chaos troop withdrawal would cause would be in trying to cram all 25,000 of them onto one ferry. If you accept the right of the Irish people to self-determination, and if you agree that British troops are prolonging, rather than stopping the violence, then it makes sense to call for their immediate withdrawal APPEAL Please help us promote American awareness of the Iish struggle and assist in defraying legal expenses of Irish political prisoners in the United States, ‘Send Contributions To: IRISH NORTHERN AID P.O.

HS 109 /UP /PLI/ICF | IRISH NORTHERN AID ° Trish Prisoners of War Committee’ WHAT IS GOING ON IN NORTHEAST IRELAND ? Awar. The latest (and hopefully the last)in‘a series of wars Irish have fought against British occupation since 1169 (with a mandate from an English Pope}. Ifthis war was going on in any other British colony it would be recognized as a war of National Independence. But, as it is going on in nortireast Ireland, a place supposed to he apart ofthagy United Kingdom, it is considered an “insoluble problem’. ISN'T IT REALLY ABOUT RELIGION ? No. In. the 1600's much of north-east Ireland was given to Protestant settlers who, because of their religion, could be relied on to remain loyal to the English Crown, while the native Irish were dispossessed, Ever since, the Protestant or Loyalist enclaves have had a siege mentality: ‘what we have we hold, and have seen the attempts by the majority of the Irish to gain freedom from Britain as attacks on both their religion and their position of economic dominance. This has been useful to Britain, and to the Protestant bosses, who have been able to use religion to divide off the Protestant workforce from their natural allies, the Catholic workforce. In Loyalist folklore, the nationalist minority in north-east Ireland ‘occupy the role of ‘natives. SHOULDN'T WE RESPECT THE WISHES OF THE MAJORITY TO REMAIN BRITISH ? Which majority are you talking about? The rotestant/Loyaist/ Unionist majority in the North was created by Britain in 1921 with the partition of Ireland against the wishes of the majority of al the Irish people. For 50 years the Loyalist majority had a state of their own where they were able to indulge their wishes by oppressing the minority. During most of that period there was no outcry from British Trade Unions or the Labor Movement against ‘the denial of civil rights to the Catholics. But when the minority got off its knees and began-demanding its rights, the British army was sent in toPo preserve the state. Since then, successive British governments have solemnly pledged to “Keep Ulster British’, in line with the majority wishes, The Loyalist majority is Britain's justification for keeping Ireland divided. COULDNT BRITAIN JUST GIVE THE CATHOLICS THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS 7 Ifthe government had granted Catholic demands for civil rights in 1968 or 1969, there might have been a temporary solution. Instead, these peaceful demands were met with clubs and bullets and mob attacks with RUC complicity. The nationalist community weren't asking any more than their civil rights in north-east Ireland. They did not believe that the state could or should be reformed. They are demanding a united Ireland where they can be free of domination both economic and political. Since the British government seems determined to hold on to north-east Ireland, its plainly nonsense to talk about giving the minority nationalists what they want. Anyway, one does not ‘give people their freedom’, one merely stops repressing them. WHY DONT CATHOLIC WORKERS TRY TO UNITE WITH PROTESTANT WORKERS ? This suggestion is usually made by people who should know better, but who cannot cope with the reality that the border divides not only Ireland but the working classes in the North. The civil rights movement, the Republicans, and the various other social groups have tried appealing to the Protestant workers. Unfortunately many ofthem are still fervent supporters of bigots like Ian Paisley, and itis stil the working class in the Catholic ghettoes who suffer most from economic and political oppression. What are they suppose to do? Perhaps wait another fifty years until Protestant workers see where their real interests lie? Telling them to forget their national «aspirations is like telling black South Africa to forget the freedom struggle, or telling women that they should not organize as women against their oppression in case it divides the class struggle. If you really want to see a united Irish working class, you should be calling for a united Ireland first. DIDN'T THE BRITISH ARMY GO IN TO KEEP THE PEACE? Yes.. But whose peace? The British army was called in by the Unionist, government to ‘maintain civil order ata time when the peoplein the Catholic ghettoes of Derry and Belfast had organized themselves to beat back armed invasion by those other ‘peacekeepers’, the RUC and the B-Specials. In order to prevent a state of open war. the British army moved in to assist the RUC, At first some Catholics actually welcomed the British army, allowing troops time to rest and consolidate. Within several months the same people were being attacked by the RUC and the British army. However, this should have surprised no one since the troops were sent to Ireland to support the ‘Loyalist government. Faced with this double attack, the Irish Republican Army armed themselves for the defense of their ghettoes, to go on the offensive later as the situation deteriorated. Murder, torture, beatings and raids may sound like peacekeeping @, operations to some people, but certainly not to those who suffered at the hands of the British army. WOULDN'T THERE BE A BLOOD-BATH IF THEY LEFT? * ‘The same-‘bloodbath’ prediction has been used to justify British imperialism the world over. Does anyone believe that Britain has a duty to ‘civilize the natives? The British army is not there to prevent a bloodbath; itis there to hold on to north-east Ireland, even at the * cost of nearly 2,000 dead, another 20,000 seriously injured, other thousands rotting in prison, and the additional cynical sacrifice of - young unemployed British youths used as cannon fodder. How many deaths make ita bloodbath? The people who would be the potential victims in a future bloodbath want the troops out, right now! On the e other hand, Unionists like Paisley want even more troops brought in, to protect ‘Ulster’ against the Pope, the taigues, and the various other godless hordes who threaten it. ARENT YOU ASKING US TO SUPPORT TERRORISTS ? We're asking you not to support terrorists. It is the British army and the ‘security forces’ who are making war on the civilians.
