IRISH LEADERS TURN
DEAF EAR TO SOCIALISTS

London.-Attempts since August 1
by British socialists to bring on a
trade strike in Dublin and other Irish
centers have been fruitless. They
made offers of parliamentary help in
the future for assistance now in an in
dustrial revolution, but with very few
exceptions the Sim Fein leaders
promptly declined to tie up their cause
with a purely political question affect
ing the internal politics of Great Brit
ain.
All the labor troubles this year of
any significance have been in Belfast
and Newry, strongholds of Sir Edward
Carson, and were by his own support
ers, who defied the government and for
time established sort of Soviet con-
troll, during which period they shut
off the electric power and the gas
works, permitting only the hospitals
to have light for more than week.
In the south or the west of Ireland
this would have been met with the
bullets of soldiers and order would
have been restored at the point of the
bayOnet with the arrest as usual of
innocent persons. No such action was
taken In the northeast, where Carson
Is supreme and laws don't count
against his Orange supporters.
At that period, too, the Sim Fein
leaders declined to have any connec-
tion with the enterprise. The leaders
of the socialists have returned to Shef-
field.

dom than these inextricably confused
and half civilized communities with
their depressing and unpronounce-

conventional Unionist nonsense about
Ireland. l make you a present of the
rest of your case. Given your line of
reasoning, which is wrong, it is un-
answerable. But do not you see that,
on our line of reasoning, which is
right, all your arguments make up an
equally unanswerable case for keeping

further afield, the keywork in forti-

Scores Watching ireland.
White or colored matters not whit
now. Egypt, India and scores of other
natiOnalities are watching Ireland.

Home Rule. If we willingly (that is
the point) give up country which
we possess, and which we can easily

set disasterous and irrevocable
precedent for ourselves and we betray
our Allies.
"The Dominion precedent? If you
read intelligently, you know that we
did not spontaneously give liberty to
the dominions in holy passion for JUS
tice. They were either troublesome
or threatening to become so and we
did not think it worth while to face
the risk and nuisance of another Amer
ican war. In effect their own Sin Fein
won liberty for them. But we cannot
by our own willing consent allow
Sim Fein to win Liberty for Ireland.
That would be suicide. am sorry
for what goes on there but
they will come to reason. We have
strong friends in the country, and
we mean it WE'LL"
Thus the two voices. Two very
old voices, as old as man himself,
but never so icily clear, so incapable
of misconstruction, so clamorous for
an answer. The tension, it would
seem, must be soon ended. On one
side Mr.. Macpherson, with his machine

dates will solve this and other ques-
tiOns for the imperial races.
Lastly, the fourteenth point. Well,
l perceived from what you said, that
you are under no illusions. We had
to quiet Mr.. Wilson with League. It
will not live very long, but as long
as it lives it is buttress of imperial
ISM. The preamble, lengthy as it is,
does not hint at liberty The implica-
ttOns were anathema. The Great Pow
ers are the masters and we are con-
f1rmed in their mastery, all save the
effete, which discredit a great princi-
pie and disappear, and Germany has
to be crushed.
"The League sanctions conquest;
that is the main thing; the mandate
system is immaterial. If any phrase
that even limited that country lost in
war by the Power owning it were ipso
factO to be free, the pass would have
been sold and the door opened to dis
integration and anarchy. For the rest,
Ireland's very existence is ignored by
the League. Ireland, for the Leagues
purpose, is England. That is right.
Admits the Disaster.
And so we come to the broad
result. OF course, l agree with your
analysis of the facts. They are only
too true. This pandemonium of ridic-
ulous little self-determination repub-
lies was a disaster we could not avert.
I'VE would have much preferred to
see strong imperialistic Russia
planted at Constantinople, as ar
ranged in the secret treaty of March,
1915, and we had no real quarrel with
Austria-Hungary. All we can do, as
matters have fallen out, is to manipu-
late the mushroom states in such a
way as to create the greatest possible
obstacle to German expansion east
