In September of 1920 the New York Nation announced the establishment of a committee to investigate British outrages in Ireland, and sent invitations to distinguished Americans: every senator and state governor. As a result, approximately 150 people responded to the call of the Nation and formed 'The Committee of One Hundred Fifty', which selected a small commission of eight members. The commission invited thirty-eight witnesses from Ireland, Britain and the USA, and held hearings in November and December of 1920 and in January of 1921. The witnesses gave testimony about 'Reprisals': the British forces had murdered Irish people and destroyed their property in retaliation for murdered soldiers and policemen. They also testified that the British administration in Ireland had ceased to function, and that it had been replaced by the civil administration set up by 'the Irish Republican Government'. Those hearings were fully reported by American newspapers, and were effective in attracting the sympathy of the American public to the Irish cause.}, pages = {37--58}, title = {アイルランド系アメリカ人とアイルランド独立戦争(2) : アイルランドの状態にかんするアメリカ委員会}, volume = {6}, year = {2005} }
