ireland and England.

Editor world: with what feeling OF secur-
ity and contentmcut the readers of the World
must have retired to rest on the evening OF Feb
ruary the twenty y-fifth, after reading the letter
ot John ". Carter of ClarcmorC. entitled, "a
Fighting Man. to know that they could retire,
with their countrys conscience alfc guarded
by one who stands siN foot two and weights goo
pounds. and whose ancestry dates back 200
years. Ready to fight Huns, Wild cats aye and
even ready to help England defend us from that
dreaded all-couquering, powerful Sim Fcin, and
beat into We doubling Thomases. who refuse
To swallow whole his conception OF 100 per cent
AmcriCanism, which sounds tn our perverted
hearing like 0S per cent pro-British.
England. our dear, loving ally CD who sent
10 us the pitcous appeal for help in 1915 or ~
to come and help her TO preserve liberty, and
incidentally gave her own precious hide. and
she 6ccs 70 is saved hardly recognizes
that We were In the war, who borrows billions
from u.s. using the American devotion to the
cause of liberty to extract the money then when
the interest comes due asks us for a post pom
mont as she Is unable To pay, but she Is ablo TO
keep a large army of Black and Tans In iceland,
ana keep building her navy, and provide
bonus ana help to her oN-seryirc men, while We
nrc too poor To- pay our soldiers a bonus. Is 1t
not joko2 And now | see tho propaganda Is
started 90 get the United states 10 cancel the
war loans happy thought great idea, worthy
uf John Bull. l suppose those of US who do not
fan for it arc not to be considered American
And how liberal she is with us regarding oil
privileges In tho countries to whcih she has ac-
quirCd mandate through our help and efforts
during the war,
on tho other hand comes ireland with hands
outstrctchcd asking us nothing but our rccogni-
tun AZ a sister republic. not asking a man nor
dollar. What crime. Just the same az our
colonial fathers committed when they sent Ben
jamiu Franklin TO EuIope, ireland Included, to
beg support Iu our struggle wonders II
there we're any Irish Johp Carriers In those days,
ready 10 fight wild cats and Americans to pro-
mote 100 per cent pro-Britishism.
And those OF ua who were schoolcd before this
new idea Ctmo into effect this idea that one
must bc 9S per cent British to he 100 per cent
American, who always believed that any 100
per cent American would naturally sympathizc
with small people who are struggling 10 set
up a republic OF their vor. o'u, what a change
~ ideals You must bc charitable. John, not beat
u.s. 20 ~ not our fault, our schools used 20 teach
H. and our forcrathcrs used to- act accordingly.
but after an. we may be right, maybe YOU
have your AmCricanlsm on wrong, John, what
do YOU suppose Andrew Jackson, FOR instance,
would say n some one could tell him that his
descendants Wcrc afraid 10 recognize new
republic for fear of offending England. Why.
! believe. II we had ever expected that, he
would have thrown the battle of Ncw Orleans.
/ would suggest for John that nc attend fCw
of the meetings uf the Friends or irish Freedom
md 500 if there is anything very anu-American, n,
[ have only attended one or two, but will say
. chat my patriotism has always boon strengthened
thereby.
And the troubles you speak Of in Cork, John,
don't YOU think YOU are attaching too much
importance to sailors brawl and would YOU
have MS infer that our boys and the british al
WAYS got along together like turtle doves, be
cause ! know n is not so, John, especially when
there Is little hootch around. and 1 will leave
IL TO any OF our soldiers and sailors,
! have carried gun for Uncle Sam also
John, as have all the brothers have living, and
We all sympathize with Irish aspirations we
did with the Cuban and any other people deserv-
ing Liberty. but only In the case OF Ireland has
IL become a crime, My family has also been a
few years in this country also my ancestors.
am not going to tNl you how many as | hate
blowing about ancestry, II sounds too English
and In future, II you do not IKE the idea OF
freedom, argument against IL, do not give
your size and weight, nobody cares about your
size, and II sounds like YOU were trying to boost
Yourself into a Job on the police force, or prohi,
biuou enforcement officer, or something OF tha
kind, although do not believe you are.
