a speech of the Prince of Wales. now
King George, on nationalism is at the
present time discussed in England as
bearing on the present question Of Irish
home rule said q. T. Youngs. OF Leeds.
England, who is at the Arlington. IN
a speech delivered last year at a banquet
of the Highland Society OF London, ths
prince gave utterance TO views on the
subject OF federation land nationalsm.
After calling upon the Highlanders 10
put forth all their power and all their
influence to prevent any interference
with their individuality. their customs,
their literature, and their traditions, as
Highlanders, he said that the glory OF
the empire could best be upheld in a
united flag by keeping alive in its inhab-
itants the local. racial. and nationalist
distinctions OF English. Scottish. Irish,
Welsh, Canadian. and Australasians,
thereby creating a generous emulation be-
tween them, which, under one flag, and
under the suzerainty of one free federal
government, may promote the good and
glory of the whole empire.
1T is difficult to construe this as any
thing else than an expression OF royal
sympathy for the cause OF nationalism
in Ireland. The prince expressly recon-
mended the keeping alive of the national
list spirit, not only in Scotland, bat also in
Ireland thus confirming tie impression
TO the effect that he regards with favor
the aims of the nationalists in ireland,
seeing in the development OF nationalism
a source not of weakness, but of strength
to the empire.
