Anti-British Outburst In New York

New York, June 4.

The Mayor of New York, William O'Dwyer, him- self a native of Ireland, told over 5,000 cheer- ing Irishmen and Irish-Americans tonight that the partitioning of Ireland had been done to preserve an outpost of the British Empire without justification and "was simply a device and, like every scheme to advance imperial- ism, it has backfired."

Mr.

O'Dwyer was the principal speaker at the Irish-American rally held in Manhattan Cen- tre and the audience completely used all of the accommodation for 5,000 and overflowed into halls and corridors.
