Ireland and League of Nations

Canada Australia and the other great
portions Of tho British empire would
oppose Ireland's admission. Neither.
in such case. would Great Britain
have any object In opposition.
What I have said applies equally
TO Korea, the Philippines, and to any
country with separate or nationaliH-
tic aspirations not yet recognized as
a fully self-governing state. domin-
ion or colony"
Such countries ought 20 rejoice
that there In league. and not fight
It. The time to fight was during the
war.
In the past Ireland. or a part Of II,
has been on the side OF the enemies
Of Great Britain. Such Is the fact,
regardless OF reasons The self
interest Of the larger country OF
Great Britain was therefore regarded
as affected by the political status of
Ireland. But by the establishment
Of the league OF nations, any such
real or assumed danger to the self
interest of Great Britain, which com
prlses England. Scotland and Wales
would substantially pass away.
am surprised that certain Irish
men do not sec this point And such
Irishmcn ought cncrgctically TO sup
port the covenant, instead OF foolish
ly opposing II.

Hard Work, Saving Money. Self Control,
Being Agreeable, Honesty, Loyalty and His
Duty.
Did you ever hear any of the Bellyache
School descanting upon such themes?
America was made by Pushers. Old Ben
