Aggressive Domination Must Stop.
Every day the air is charged with
rumors. about unsettling such parts
of the public administration as, after
years Of agitation, have been brought
somewhat into harmony with popular
wishes; and our rulers latterly have
been engaged in the apparently con-
genial task of transferring both the
powers that were exercised by an un-
representative authority and those
that were to be entrusted to a rep
resentative Irish body, from the Capt.
tai of Ireland to the Capital of Eng
land.
"In the interests of peace and order,
of morality and of nationality, this
aggressive domination should stop
once for all. So long as 1t lasts, our
faithful people should not allow any
provocation to move them to over
step the law of God. They have an
inspiring example to guide them.
When Belgium lay PROSTATE under
the heel of oppression, the Belgians
in like trials listened to the counsels
of Cardinal Mercier, and they have
their reward. 1t shall be so, please
God, with our people also.

viii Americans Tolerate the Use Of
National Welfare Funds for the Die
tribution Of This sloppy Piece Of
British Propaganda

British Propaganda
Boston, Mass, July q. - District
Attorney Joseph c. Pelletier. who also
happens to be the Supreme Advocate
of the Knights of Columbus, has un-
covered the fact that the, Y. M. G. A.
Ills spending moneys collected from the
American people ostensibfy for war
work and for the benefit Of the SOL
diers for another and very different
purpose, namely British propaganda
in America. It had long been OBJ
served that preachers, field secretaries
and others In the Y. M. G. A. service,
were actively engaged in spreading
British propaganda throughout the
United States. From pulpit and plat
form they have been the mouthpieces
OF British agents and have openly ad-
: vocated changing our school histories
SO as to remove all matters OF history
which, as they say, reflect on Great
Britain" These facts were generally
known, but it was hard to get the
goods on the Y. NJ G. A., until Mr..
Pelletier opened up the subject in the
Boston Transcript this week. Mr.. Pei.
letter bases his case ON pamphlet
issued by the Y. M. G. A., entitled,
t'Some Facts About the British" He
declares that the American people
cannot but feel outraged, that Amer.
ican money is being used in propa.
ganda to educate the American people
to the belief that England alone won
the war.
Mr.. Pe1letfer addressed the follow.
ing letter to Hon. Newton D. Baker,
Secretary of War, Washington, D. c.,
on July %, 1919:
Letter to Secretary Of War.
The Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary
Of War, Washington, d. G.:
Dear Sir:-I enclose copy Of letter
sent by me to DR.. Mott concerning the
pamphlet, "some Facts About the
British" published by the National
War Work Council Of the T. M. G.. A.
A letter from DR.. Motifs secretary to
me, copy of which is enclosed, states
that this pamphlet was published 'at
the suggestion Of the United States
War Department, Morale Branch, Gen.
eral Staff"
cannot believe that this pamphlet
has come to your notice, for I cannot
believe that you would suggest, much
less authorize, any statement regard
ing the war, which unduly lionized
Great Britain and absolutely omitted
any mention Of the decisive share Of
the United States in the triumph Of
the allied powers. i
None of us would deny the allies
credit and glory for their part in the
great war, but no true account Of the
war. however BRIEF. should omit at
least to mention the fact that without
our aid the war had been lost to the
allies.
Your Honor knows full well the in.
depreciation which our doughboys
gave the initials, "a. E. F." after
England Failed"
Nobody knows better than yourself,
who had SO much to do in winning the
victory, that it was American treas
ure, food, man power and brains that
ended the war; that General Pershing
and l1fs ataff were SOLELY responsible
