ANGLOAIANIACs ALARMED.
Editorial from this weeks
Irish World
Anglomaniacs and their newspaper
organs are manifesting signs OF
alarm at the prospect Of a successful
organized effort to thwart the under
hand pro-British conspiracy, which
has been actively ct work during the
last twenty years So far back as
1894 the chief conspirators openly
advocated in tho North American
Review an Anglo-American alliance,
which they hoped would develop
eventually into q reunion of America
and England Andrew Carnegie
and the late Admiral Mahan wrote
articles for the North American
Review in which they took for their
thesis the desirability Of undOing the
work Of Washington and his COM
patriots In 1913 the Irish World
reproduced Carnegio's article in
full.
Some years after the multi-mil-
ionairo ironmaster urged the nulli-
ficati0n of the American Declaration
OF independence, Richard Olney,
who was Secretary Of State in the
Cleveland cabinet published an
article in the Atlantic in which he
declared that race patriotism" "
would impose upon this country the
duty of going to the assistance Of
England if she ever found herself
attacked by powerful enemies. Sub
sequently the Pilgrims Club, with
branches in New York and other
American cities, was established for
tho purpose of familiarising the
thought that we are virtually Eng
lish colonists, who should be only too
willing to stand by the Mother
Country in the hour of her peril.
Propaganda OF this sort, aided and
abctted by DrO-British press, was
intended TO prepare for just such an
emergency as that England is now
confronting 1t was the intention to
create on this side Of the Atlantic
prO-English sentiment so strong that
ii would be able to mould American
public opinion to such an extent that
it would favor an armed Intervention
in England's interest in q war such
as the one that is now on
A meeting was held in Washington
last Saturday to thwart these long
laid plans. A program was drawn
up and an appeal made to the voters
of the country irrespective of pOliti-
cal Affiliations. We ask our readers
to study carefully the set OF reso-
lutions adopted at the meeting OF
which we are speaking. After they
have done so they Will be more cap
able Of forming an opinion of Che
real animus OF the adverse criticism
of the pro-British press Here is
specimen Of the resolutions adopted:
We pledge ourselves individually
and collectively to support only such
candidates for public Office, irrespec-
tive OF party, who viii place Amer
ican interests above those Of any
other country and who will aid in
eliminating all undue foreign in
Auence from official life.
tThc resolution as given above
was offered for the purpose Of re
establishing genuine American neu-
tTality and to uphold it free from
commercial, financial and political
subserviences to foreign Powers.
The manner in which the pro-
British press assails the promoters
OF the new movement to preserve
American neutrality intact, is con-
yincing proof Of the need Of such
movement Threatened Pro-Ger-
man Movement in American Politics"
is the caption Of the New York Trib-
uno's editorial dealing with the pro-
posed organized attempt to curb pro-
4sf fDI Ind ia. tts~
"A Gcrman-American Menace" is the
New York Evening Posts way Of an
nouncing the fact that steps have
been taken TO counteract the activi-
ties Of pro-Britishers. "The German
how the New York Times informs
its readers that Englands friends in
the United States VIII not have it
all their own way
Note how these three pronounced
ly proBritish sheets have tried to
create the impression that it is only
Americans Of German descent who
object to a policy which would make
the United States an ally of England
in the present war. There is well
defined purpose in this. These pro-
British organs are seeking to popu-
larise the thought that it is tn-
American to say or do anything that
wonld tell against the race patrio-
tism' that should make Anglo
SaXons' on both sides Of the Atlantic
stand together as q unit in defence
Of the Mother Country" They are
afraid that such meetings as that
held ct Washington last Saturday
viii help defeat the conspiracy which
Andrew Carnegie brought to light
when he openly championed the
merging Of the Republic in the Brit
ish Empire
The resolutions and the preamble
to the same read as follows:
