THE ANGLo-sAxoN sUPERMAN

To the Editor Of Evening Ledger:
Sir-To those who believe that "all men
created free and endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights, among which are life,
liberty and the peaceful pursuit of happiness"
the tragic struggle of Irishmen to secure to
themselves this priceless boon cannot but ap-
peal Though am not Irishman. my heart
beats in sympathy for their just cause, and
with feelings of deepest adherence condemn
the feudalstic English oppression of Irish men,
women and children and the merciless slaughter
or these people and the summary courtmartial
and execution of Patrick Henry Pearse and
other patriots who dared to lead their fellows
from the yoke of British tyranny. There may
be those who prate of loyalty to government
and inopportuneness. but no one owes loyalty
TO Government which is oppressive and dis
criminatory In its administration, as is plainly
seen in the English Government of all its colo
NAL possessions and dependencies, and particu-
Slarly Ireland.
The effort at Anglo.saxon supermanism is i'm
posed to the limit through the repressiYe scheme
of the British Government insuring yassaI colo
nies lorded over by the 'overplus of lords, dukes
princes and other titled English nobility. Can
ada, Australia, Egypt, India etc. once free from
British domination, the occupation of the princes
dukes and lords will be gone forever and having
no vassals to support them they will have to
hustle for livelihood, as other common
mortals.
Down with oppressive, discriminatory rule by
England and all other wouldbe superman gov
