There must first be established in the insurgent area

No such government has created by the Sim Fein

minister in London brought the matter to the attention
Of Lord Russell minister Of foreign Affairs.

This hint of severance Of diplomatic relations brought
from Lord Russell the reply that his governments policy

No better advice could be given to Congress at the
present time about Ireland.
