Australian Archbishop MannK
Warns Against England As
Jealous SChemer.

PLATTsBURG. N. Y. July 16.-
Archbishop Mannix addressed the
Catholic Summer School yesterday
and received an ovation. Bishop Far
ley, Monsignors Lavelle and Hickey.
OF Brooklyn, and the Revs. Thomas
Macmillan OF the Paulist Fathers,
were present.
Archbishop Mannix said:
AZ come TO America with no po-
litical message. / have none to de-
liver. 1 am simply on my way to
visit the Pope. But have come with
strong political convictions. In Aus
tralia / am a Sim Feiner. From the
attitude OF the American people i
judge there is complete sympathy
with my ideas.
There is no use mincing words.
ireland Is ruled by an alien govern
ments II hates. 1t is now no more
reconciled than in CromwelPs time.
England will never rule Ireland again
never. De Valera has placed the
full issue before America. There is
no alternative.
81 see no other way out but Amer
lean recognition for De Valera, and
/ hope II comes soon.
BRITAIN FEARS U. 8. TRADE.
"Some have said England is a
friendly nation. No. England never
was a friend OF the United States.
When your fathers fought 1t was
against England. Ireland has the
same grievance against the same
enemv. and ten times greater. I hope
Ireland will make a fight that is
equaiIy successful. Perhaps II will be
fight of a different type.
England was your enemy. She
Is your enemy today. and she will
be your enemy for all time. Eng
land is one of the greatest hypo-
critics in the world. She pretended to
be your friend in the war, and now
that the war is over she tells you to
mind your own business.
They are the same people who told
you 1t was your business to fight
for Belgium and Poland, and now
that the issue is settled they declare:
Hands OF! Don't offend friendly
nation" Yet this friendly nation
notes with fear that you are building
a navy and a mercantile marine, and
she fears that you will get German
trade. For these and thirty-three
other reasons I say you are mistaken
If you think England is a friendly
nation.
England is taking millions out Of
Ireland every year. This is the state
ment of England's own royal COM
mission. Sim Fein has done more
in twelve months to develop industry
than England in 700 years.
WARNS OF PROPAGANDA.
Beware of British propaganda.
You have no idea how widespread it
is. In my short time it has touched
me-"
The Archbishop proceeded to ex-
plain the national anthem incident
while he was en- route from Australia.
They tried to discredit me by say
ing I am hostile to American insti-
tutions. We were on an American
ship under the dear American flag.
There were eight nationalities among
the passengers. Someone made an
excuse to sing two anthems, the
American and the British. The
American was thrown in in order to
get God Save the King We stood
up for The Star-Spangled Banner
When they began God Save the
King we sat down.
I'm other circumstances I would
stand as a matter of courtesy, but
not in forced circumstances intended
only to embarrass me. 1 don't think
| am bound to rise when some i'll
bred person sings an anthem to- en-
barrass me-"
Speaking of the incident Of the
band playing America" he said he
did not know America" had the same
air as God Save the King" Some
Englishman nearby sang the British
words. The archbishop thought they
were again batting him.
He claims that all this is British
propaganda. He said:
"They tried to discredit my en-
trance, but what they have done is to
give me a great advantage in every
American city. I have heard people
talking about me who never even
heard of me before. They have come
in multitudes to hear me and make
great demonstrations. / hope that
New York will give me n demon stra-
tion that will cross the ocean and be
heard In England and give these
propagandists a lesson. How stupid
