sumes a difficult task. 1t will not do
for any man in this day and genera
tion to rest his cause on a mere ap-
peal to the personal prejudice of the
Irish people. The case must be pre-
scented to them on it's merits. Irish
Americans will weigh this bill on its
merits. The great majority Of them
will pass upon the merits of this
measure as if the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty had been made between the
United States and France or Ger
many instead of Great Britain, and
just as if France or Germany instead
of Great Britain had presented the
protest against the pending legislation
of 1912. They would not have this
government settle a great interna-
tional question on some sentimental
ground that did not touch the merits
of the question itself.
THAT is the kind Of opinion have

ism Of the Irish people. have no APP
peal to make to the Irish American
that is not addressed to him in COM
mon with all his felow-citizens. More
over, ! can not believe that the Irish
people in America, or in Ireland it.
self, are inimical or hostile to the
present government of Great Britain.
Home rule. with better land laws and
improved industrial and social condi-
tlons, has been a paramount issue in
Ireland ever since the days of Glad
stone and Parnell, and even long be-
fore that date. The present Liberal
government, with Asquith at its head
supported by such men as Lloyd
George and Winston Churchill. is en-
gagged in great and noble struggle
to bestow upon Ireland the semi-sov-
creignty of home rule, and through
that give to Ireland new and inf
nltely greater opportunities for ma
tlonal development and progress. The
Irish representatives in Parliament
are allied with the Liberal leaders in
this movement, which now seems
nearer success than ever before.
! cannot believe that any friend of
Ireland in America would assail the
present government in London merely
because of, some senseless and I'M
founded clamor that England was
reaching out hand against the United
States. striking in some way at our
sovereignty, or attempting by force
or artiilce to usurp some Just right of
this country. Questions Of difference
may and will arise between this coun-
try and Great Britain as they arise
between this country and other ma
tions. II is wholly improbable, how
ever, that any question will arise be-
tween this country and Great Britain
that cannot be settled by diplomacy,
and it is wholly impossible that any
question should arise that could be
settled by any threat of force
