The British government foe the last forty years
aas ceased declaring TO the world her desire OF
dong justice to Ireland, out in no instance has
Jingle boon been grained that has not been torn
from her grasp by an outraged people. The Catholic
Emancipation bill OF 1929 that repealed those

fer similar reasons IN our day the fail OF The Church
Establishment was brought before Parliament

Such is the general character OF hreeiourths OF
the Irish land prUpretoTs. Tie British government
cannot compel them To live in ireland, neither
she force them TO sell their estates, and, what is
more, she dare not conilscake tben for by doing so
she would strike az The foundation vi the boosted
British monarchy.
