I now warn them asuin as they c.vc as blind and deaf to conditions in Tiviand as the btatesmeu who antagonised and lost' the American i-okmics ' in thc cigliteenth century. cen-tury. "1 hope my continued warnings; will bo heard and appreciated by the intelligent sections of all parties before it is too late. ".My thirteen months' stay 'in America convinced me that there is a stronger anti-Eng'iish movement now than there has been at any period of my lifetime, and its main -ins pi ra; ion ia due to the ' British policy toward Ireland. "Unless it is checked, this movement "will have a serious effect not unly on AniO-American relations, but it will severely se-verely embarrass the ultimate working out of the league of nations, which lias its main reliance in perfect accord between be-tween Brit ain and America. "The present government's policy of drift towards tilings Irish is disastrous. The government is so absorbed in thc peace conference that it f.iils to sec t lie signs or' war at home, so concerned with reconstruction problems it ignores the most crying problem which existed before be-fore the war. "Mr. Lloyd George is so concerned with the proceedings at Paris and home problems prob-lems lie is unwise enough to leave Ireland Ire-land in control' of reactionary politicians of his party. "The home rule act conies into operation opera-tion automatically six months after peace i is 5 i trued, but what about the interim? ! In Ireland things are drifting from bad ' to worse." |
