SpecicI Cable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1871, By THE New York HERALD
LONDON, Sept. 10.-As an English
man who loves liberty and Ireland,
which has struggled for liberty
through the long agony Of her his
tory, venture to write an appeal to
the Irish race throughout the world,
not written coldly but with the emo
tion which stirs me and thousands of
other Englishmen in poignant way
at the thought that the truce between
Ireland and England may give way to
q renewed and more tragic conflict.
/ have only this recommendation
to make to the Irish people: In so
far as | could help their claim for
self-government as writing man
and public speaker I did SO at times
when such words were dangerous
and unpopular, though in America,
by strange paradox, Irish men and
women howled me down when |
spoke upholding their right to life
ana Ioerty as far as advocating the
same home rule that is now offered
them.
1t is not as man of public infiu
ence, for l have none. that I write
this address to the Irish race, but as
an ordinary Englishman with liberal
ideas and faith in the future of hui
manity and who hates war; having
seen the great massacre in France
and Flanders from first to last.
Sees Challenge TO England.
In the first place feel that IL after
this offer of dominion home rule with
certain conditions that are capable
Of alteration over the conference
table, Irish leaders declare for war
rather than peace it will be a chal.

that their own weakness protects
them and would disarm q man In
spite OF all evaporation.
what England Could DO.
II England really intended to domi-
nate Ireland by sheer brute force
which may God preyent-it Is certain
that she could do so, despite the des-
perate courage Of Irish youths. 1t
would be bloody and horrible. English
losses would be heavy. but Ireland
would be reduced to death and ashes.
Why this has not been done before
and why 1t will never be done Is not
through lack of strength. but lack Of
will. 1t is no answer to say that
england tried to do so and failed
efore the truce.
All that was done in military re-
,ression and reprisals was limited by
the impossibility to let the militar-
lists have full command OF military

history and repudiating their old
comrades who were not foreigners.
Irish blood has mixed for centuries
with English blood. There are thou
sands of British families, the noblest
among them, who have good drops
CT 1t from some Irish rose who
caught an English heart. All through
history for 500 years the Irish have
fought side by side as well as against
Englishmen, and on the battlefields
Of Europe in recent years. where
saw them with unforgetful eyes,
irish youth lay dead with English
youth and there was no enmity be-
tween them before they died, but a
sreat comradeship.
Irish ON English Honor Rolls.
Irish names, heroic names, are en-
Alazoned with British names on
scrolls OF honor throughout the En-
lire. which they made together. Now
in England and throughout the En-
plre Irishmen hold high office, ad.
minister British laws and work in
fellow service wherever the rule OF
the British race reaches.
TO me therefore no Irishman is a
foreigner. His blood is my blood.
though am English. If he asks
for absolute separation he asks for
something that few Englishmen can
give without opening the veins In
their bodies If they know their an
cestry.
All the ancient wrong In Irish his
tory cannot, alas. be wiped out and
their memories are still frightful In
Irish brains. In English brains too,
if they know that history, yet put
into historic proportion by the
thought that there were cruelties in
England no less than in Ireland /;
that the penal laws in England were
Just as barbarous. that the Irish
peasant even in the worst days was
not so enslaved and stunted and bru-
talized as the women and children
in the Lancashire mills during the
evil days of industrial tyranny; that
the men who crushed the liberties
Of Ireland crushed the liberties OF
England too, and that as English
democracy struggled up to it's older
freedom the English made amends,
some amends, in Ireland by land
laws which gave soil to Irish peas
snts and by municipal government.
Memories to Rankle Irish.
1t was not enough. 1t is not
enough yet. and in recent years there
have been new memories to ranklc
in Irish hearts-the folly of British
officials, their narrow intolerance,
and then, worst Of all, arrests, hang.
ings, shootings, raids, reprisals and
terror.
sickened over all that agony like
many Englishmen who thought and
still think that the tragic episodes
besmrched our gbod name because
two blacks do not make white. But
the Irish must be fair to those who
face them, must acknowledge in their
hearts that many things were done
by Sim Feiners that were cruel ard
abominable according to the laws o.

resources and conduct the war az
war. II was a secret, half-hearted
furtive attempt to deal with terror by
counter terror and not to wage open
war against declared enemies.
The English public opinion would
not be persuaded then or now to de-
clare real war against her sister ma
tion. and two-thirds Of what was done
in Ireland was done without English
knowledge.
write these things with one OBJ
ject in view only. which Is to call tc
the generosity of the Irish race
throughout the world 50 that they
may strengthen the hands of the
peacemakers, to appeal to them for
great heartedness bigger than the
little nigglings Of cheap logic debate
and to yield just little to English
pride and sentiment as they are
yielding to theirs. E

God and man, and that their acts Of
war could not be ignored by the
British Government without abject
surrender and cowardice not to be
expected Of British people.
But all that black nightmare has
been lifted by the truce which gives
US all chance for looking forward
to light instead OF back TO darkness.
The offer made by Premier Lloyd
George not only formally but In
his speeches and letters is great
act of craftsmanship which expresses
the spirit of the whole English people
and fulfils the hopes of all lovers OK
liberty throughout the world.
Sees Everlasting Qaestion.
He has put aside all petty argu-
ments for the great principle of a
free partnership in the British feder-
alton Of free peoples. Such thing
will never happen again in our time,
The New York herald., 1921-09-11

lenge not only to England but to all
men and women of good will in all
parts of the world that now after
the awful lessons Of the great war
and the blunders of peace making are
trying to demobilize the standing
hatreds as we'll as the standing
armies and to enlarge the boundaries
OF democratic liberty by a wider
brotherhood of the human family.
At the present day. after the dark
years of peace following the red years
OF war, there Is for the first time a
sign Of a forward movement being
made by the leaders OF the peoples
of the world. The national hatreds
engendered by the war are beginning
70 die down. Human charity, as ex.
pressed in the relief given the starv-
ing children OF Europe and which
now offers to aid the famine stricken
people of Russia, has relit its lamps
which shine above the heart of dark
ness. Even some of the old leaders
who thrust civilization back to ma.
tional selfshness and cynicism have
had change of heart or change OF
policy and under the pressure of
world opinion, which is gathering
weight and momentum, have declared
for programme Of international
reconciliation and appeasement.
feel therefore that the Irish peo-
pie will be flinging themselves across
this movement to better the state of
civilized relationship if they reject
the full reality of liberty offered them
for the sake of an abstract ideal OF
liberties which are not necessary 40
their honor or their souls. They will
be barking back to mediavalism and
not linking up with modern progress
in democratic liberty If they insist
on separation and isolated national
ity, for that is a medieval idea that
has given place to larger views OF
human duty and relationship.
World Has Moved On.
The world has moved on since Ire
land had sixty kings and England a
heptarchy. 1t has moved on since
the war between the North and the
South in America. 1t is moving to-
ward larger federation of free peo-
pies as within the British Empire, to
an international code of justice, and
1t is the conviction Of all leading
minds to-day, based not on theory
but on plain and terrible facts, that
il Europe does not abandon the old
evil Of national vendettas and link
up along closer lines in similar
federations Europe will be utterly
ruined.
That is the large aspect OF Ire
lands claim for separation and iso-
lation and the one that will go with
separation. But there are other as
poets more immediate and visible to
ordinary Englishmen. Ireland main
tains her right to absolute separation
as nation foreign to England in
blood, in speech and in history. But
few Englishmen can admit that be-
cause so many Of them would be re-
pudiating the women, their wives or
mothers, would be denying their own
blood. falsifying their knowledge of
