This highly favored maritime posi-
ton depends, however, upon an I'M
named factor, the unchallenged use
and possession of which by England
has been the foundation of her i'm
perial greatness. Without Ireland
there would be today no British EN-
pire.
THE vital importance of Ireland to
England is understood, but never pro-
claimed, by every British statesman.
To subdue that western and ocean
closing island and to exploit its re-
sources, it's people and, above all, it's
position, to the sole advantage of the
eastern island has been the set aim
of every English government from the
days of Henry VIII onward.
"The vital Importance of Ireland to
Europe is not and has not been under
stood by any European statesman.
To them it has not been European
island, vital and necessary element
of European development, but an ap-
panage of England, an island beyond
an island, a mere geographical ex-
preston in the titles of the conqueror.
"Napolean, too late, in St. Helena,
realized his error: Had l gone to
|.Ireland instead of to Egypt the en-
pire of England was at an end
Position of Ireland.
Il propose to point out as briefly
as may be possible in dealing with
so unexpected proposition, that the
restoration of Ireland to European
life lies at the bottom of all success
full European effort to break the bonds
that now shackle every continental
people that would assert itself and
extend its ideals, as opposed to British
interests, outside the limits of Europe.
British interests are: First, the
control of all the seas of all the world
in full military and commercial con-
troll If this be challenged, peace is per-
mitted; to dispute it seriously means
war. 1t is clear that sooner
or later the British colonies, so-called,
must develop into separate nationali-
ties, and that the link of a common
crown cannot bind them forever. But,
as Sir Wilfrid Laurier said at the re-
cent imperial conference, We bring
you British institutions'-English Ian
guage, English law, English trade, Eng
lish supremacy, in q word-this is the
ideal reserved for mankind and
summed up in the words British in
terests.'
'"Turn where you will these inter-
ests are in effective occupation, and
whether it be Madeira, Teneriffe, Aga
dir, Tahiti. Bagdad, the unseen flag is
more potent to exclude the non-British
intruder than the visible standard of
the occupying tenant. England is the
landlord Of civilization, mankind her
tenantry and the earth her estate.
Foreign States Enemies.
These interests have reached such
stage of development as to require
that all foreign states that cannot be
used as tools or regarded as agencies
must be treated as enemies. Germany,
with her growing population, her ad-
vancing industries, her keen CONNER
cial ability, and her ever expanding
navy, has become the enemy Of civili-
cation.
"The British Empire is founded not
upon the British dreadnaught, but
upon Ireland.

erty-stricken land inhabited by tur-
bulent and ignorant race whom she

letin of the Iowa weather and crop
service for the week ending May 2:
Y The weather continued too cool Tor
normal growth, but was, in most sec
lions, favorable for farm work, which
progressed rapidly. Frost occurred on
April % and May 2, with freezing
temperatures in many localities on the
latter date. Moderate to heavy rain
fell in all parts Of the state on Satur-
day and Sunday and will be of great
benefit to meadows, pastures ana
small grain and will put soil In excel.
lent condition for planting corn. All
small grain except winter wheat Is IN
fine condition. Reports vary as to
condition OF winter wheat, but, while
there has been some winter killing
and some fields have been plowed up
for oats or corn, reports from many
sections indicate favorable condi.
ton. Pastures afford sufficient feed
and much stock are now in grass and
doing well. Cherry, plum and pear
trees are in bloom over the southern
half of the state and apple trees are
beginning to blossom in the southern
counties. The heavy to killing frosts
on the last morning Of the week will
probably do much damage to fruit i4
