Washington, September 4, 1913,
SIR Having been appointed Secretary of State ad IN
term, during the temporary absence of Mr. Buchanan
directed by the President call your attention to the
condition of those American citizens who have been ar
rested and held for trial under the charge OF sedon
treason for interference in the affairs of Ireland
The department has no official knowledge of any such
interference any information on the subject
except such as is before the public am not therefore,
able to furnish you with list of names, to aid your
inquiries yet so much has TRANSFERRED through the public
journals induce belief that such arrests have
place. and to make it expedient that they should attract
some official notice.
arrests have occurred it will be right, and the duty OF
the to that the persons arrested have the
full benefit OF legal defence And it may be, and the
offices in their behalf beyond the strict limit Of securing
for them full and fair trial
1t the wish of the President and he is.rcs YOU to
urge upon the British government the adoption of mag
unanimous and mercuI course towards these men, who
have been implicated in the late disturbances in Ireland
The caamies which have recently belallen her starving
population by the dspen2aton of Providence the de-
stucon OF her crops. the close bonds of sympathy be-
tween them and large class who nave removed and
esab shed themse yes permanently in America the ma
lona sympathy which has been extensively manifested
in acts Of charity and good will towards the irish people,
and the unsettled state OF large portion of the civil
lied world, constitute series of exciting causes so pow
eru as to render it hardly possible that interference
outbreak to some extent shond not have taken place
But the power OF the British government is so great
that can well afford to be magnanimous Perhaps
act on its part would have happy effect, would
be received by other nations with more universal appro
baton, than act of general amnesty. While the gov
eminent of the United States disclams any right to in
erere behalf of British subjects, it is at liberty to
say that such act far embraces the of our
citizens, would be regarded with particular favor
And should act of grace and PARDON extended
own citizens be deemed TO carry along with il the ne
cessity of similar favor to British subjects in Ireland
believed that that necessity would constitute no obec
ton the measure, but would rebound to the honor of
Great Britain in the estimation of the wise and good in
all ages.
1t is the desire of the President that this subject be
presented TO her Maesty's government with great deli
cacy, and pressed by all the considerations that may oc
cur to you and appropriately belong to it.
am, sir, respectfully your obedient servant
ISAAC TOUCEY.
