IRELAND'S BLUNDER
New York Commercially


In dealing with Ireland England
never did the right thing at the right
time. The Catholic emancipation bill,
the establishments of the estab-
lishment of the established church of
Ireland, the land laws, the land-pur-
chase act and the home rule bill were
recognitions of the justice of Ircland's
claims which, though excellent in act
and intent, failed to allay discomfort
because they were not put on the
statute books and enforced at the
psychological moment.
Now the Irish recalcitrants are
committing the same fatal error of
choosing the wrong time. They are
trying to tie England's hands when
she is fighting for freedom and demo-
cracy in alliance with the United
States and other lovers of liberty. In
this way, as John Dillon, Chairman of
the Irish Nationalists, says; THE
Sim Fein is not only alternating Amer
leans, but our own Irish people in
