Turning now-to the first Of the four
possibilities: can Bolshevism sweep
westward? The answer rests upon con-
ditions which we can only partially
estimate, but in my judgment Paris
today recognizes the possibility, the
very obvious possibility, that we shall
have BolsheyisIn on this side OF the
Rhine within six weeks.

he told me that already he had been
compelled to arrest Russian Bolsheyist
agents who are pouring into southern

told me also that Alsatlan soldiers who
had been forced into the German army
and compelled to- serve on the Russian
frontier were coming back now to their
homes corrupted BY BolshAyist ideas
which they had encountered on the
Russian front.
i do not believe there is a single
thoughtful man ia Paris who would
venture to forecast UerraIn disintegra-
tion of Bolshevism before it arrives
across the Rhine, or guarantee that 1t

| tanned. On the other hand, there is
no evidence on record of their having

purpose Of securing their own indie

her long subsection would extenuate
If not justify, what harm could she in
fiict on a world empire, with navy
in supreme control of the sea, with
home population ten times Ireland's
with resources illimitable in extent?
Not in such considerations is to be
found the explanation of British poll
cy. Lust of power, the instinct of
domination and desire for economic

throttling Irish competition, are the
real reasons for her attitude. For two
thirds of the period since 1900 Great

the same period she practiced the most

Parliament pledged to the policy Of
"Sinn Fein," pronounced Shin Fame
and meaning literally, Ourselves
Alone" but better interpreted by the
words used as a heading for this ar
ticle. It's purpose is not, as some be-
lieve, either an appeal to physical
force for freedom, nor does it even
look toward social revolution. The
Irish mind has been focused for so
long on national independence that It
has given little thought to radical
ideas. Sim Fein hopes to succeed by
a method akin to that employed by
Francis Deak, the Hungarian leader,
who secured the independence of his
country from Austrian control. Irish
sentiment not only in Ireland but
throughout the world is a unit in sup
port of that policy. It may be des-
cribed as sort of political jujutsu.
The world will observe with interest
the progress of a struggle between a
whole people resolved upon freedom
and a foreign government seeking to
control them by force and without
their own consent.

that the real motive power behind

SAINT CLARA COLLEGE,
-sINsiNAvNA, WISCONSIN

The observance on March of the
feast of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the
patron of Christian schools, sustained
its traditional significance this year
through the excellent address given
by the Reverend Thomas v. Shannon,
Ph.D., editor of The New World, Chi
cago.
The subject of the address was
Savonarola, the spiritual and intellec-
tual son of the Angel of the Schools.
Familiar knowledge of his theme ac-
quired through long study and deep
research among the very scenes rem
dered memorable by the life of the
famous F1orentine friar enabled the
reverend speaker to portray with pow
er and striking vividness the pic
turesque age which produced this re-
markable character. Savonarola, and
also to arouse keen interest in his
personality and its challenged great.
ness. Furthermore, the discourse
strengthened the hope in the minds of
the audience that this fearless defen.
der of moral principles and loyalty to
rectitude, though destined to be both
the glory and the victim of his time
might yet receive full vindication and
honor.
The Irish standard., 1919-03-29

Paradoxical as the statement may
seem to many, the Irish Question is
one of extreme simplicity. The Amer
lean who does not regard the Declara-
tion of independence as "scrap of
paper" but as covenant between the
Republic and humanity, will find no
difficulty in solving the problem.
The phrase at the head of this arti-
Gle sums up Ireland's demand. Is it
necessary to prove that Ireland is a
nation? If SO, the axioms of geome-
try will have to be proved. She lacks
none of the marks which are needed
to determine nationhood. She is a
geographical unit; her people are ra-
cially distinct from her neighbors, hav-
ing separate language and literature,
traditions and customs OF her own. If
self-government is based anywhere on
right, then she should have it, What
prevents? Antiquity of occupation by
neighboring enemy; regard for the
protests Of an influential and prosper
GUS minority; and concern for the safe
ty of the British Empire?
In answer to the first of the above
points, it may be sufficient to urge that
adverse possession cannot run against
sovereignty, that the people never ac-
quiesced, that Great Britain by COM
pelling the passage of the Act of Union
in 1900 violated her solemn pledge
made to the Irish people only eighteen
years before.
AS for the minority, it represents a
group planted in Ireland for the same
purpose that the Germans colonized
Metz or DantZig, and with no claim OF
desire to be known as Irish. It is re-
lated Of the great Duke of Wellington
whose family was for several genera
lions planted in Ireland, that when
tainted with being Irish he replied
"a man is not horse because he is
born in stable" The story may be
apocryphal, but in spirit it typifies
the mental attitude of the belligerent
minority which imported rifles from
Hamburg to defy the Empire, concern
ing whose unity they now profess such
loyal concern. It was the same group
that at an earlier date, when Glad
stone sought to alleviate some of the
disabilities under which the Irish were
laboring, threatened revolt and talked
of Kicking the Queens crown into the
Boyne"
AS for 1reland's independence CON
shutting a menace to the British En-.
pire, even it 1t were true, it is a con.
sideration with which 1rishmen have
no concern. The Irish are intensely
individualistic. They neither desire
empire for themselves nor view with
approval it's upbuilding by other PEG.

idea of empire by whomsoever main

The Irish and Catholic press stands

the standard which we must follow.
For, like the standard of all the ages

of books in our public Libraries must
be struck with the absence of Irish

Irish brains-but they are classified
as English literature" Too few,
alas! are those masterpieces of the
intellect which give thoughts to race.

will not stand on Irish books alone
It is plain that our cause will not be
won on what has been said. It is with
a doubling heart that the rejecting
