The following letters have appeared
in recent issues of the Irish hide
pendent, Dublin, and touches vital
spot in the present crisis of Irish af-
fairs
sirs: May suggest the possibility
and the advisability of the union of
Nationalist forces in Ireland? Nov
is the acceptable time" A new leader
OF the Parliamentary Party is just en-
thoned; his it is to perfect the old or,
in the changed condition of political
international, British and Irish affairs,
to adopt a new policy. The present is
the most vital period of our history
since the Union, and the future is full
OF possibilities, good OF evil, for Ire
land. We all recognize this-no one
more so, | am sure, than the present
Parliamentary leader, and all Ireland
looks to him for lead, and, as union
is strength" we all ask that the first
lead will be towards the union of the
Nationalist forces. If common
platform" can be erected. De Valera
will not refuse, can not, to take his
stand on it for the good of Ireland.
The following may help to the con-
summation of the wished for union,
and / think both National parties can
unite without surrendering their prin-
ciples. ..
Home Rule Demand.
O The Parliamentary Party must
ask for and demand full and complete
Dominion Home Rule-their minimum
demand must be the status of Canada
or South Africa or Australia. There
is to be no delay, no heckling over
details; the "Bill'' is already an "Act"
and the "Act'' is in operation in Qet
us say Canada; all that is to be
done is to put that Act into operation
in Ireland. 1t must be made perfectly
clear that Ireland will and can be sat-
isfed only when it has all the powers
and rights and privileges-each and
everyone of them-that Canada has.
(2) AS Ireland has not without rea-
son, lost faith in the promises of Eng
land, England must get definite fixed
period, say, two months from the day
the demand for Dominion Home Rule
is made by Dillon in the House of
Commons (and this demand must be
made immediately wherein to put in
operation in Ireland Dominion Home
Rule. And such is our utter lack of
confidence in England that it might
be worth considering whether or not
we should ask the Allies of England
especially the United States-for a
guarantee that England will keep her
word with us, and will not afterwards
take from us what we in our strength
and her weakness forced from her.
For Peace Sake.
