object of profound interest, admira-
ton and affection on the part of the
Pope who appreciates our lofty ideals
and realizes our exceptional opportu-
mites in the providence of God to
carry out our ideals.
The Irish question did not come
up for consideration officially or UNI
officially. l was not consulted by the
Holy See at the press reported. The
Vatican is following a policy of neu-
trality and impartiality in this as in
other similar matters.
Moreover, after reading the force
full public utterances of the bishops
of Ireland, who have the right to
speak on the subject, it would be in
delicate for an American bishop I'M
inXited, to interfere outside his own
diocese. Here in New York, as is
well known / have not hesitated to
plead and defend Ireland's cause. Let
me add that wherever I turned
abroad the Irish problem was being
discussed. Ireland's struggle grows
hourly more appealing to free men
everywhere since the isue has long
since ceased, in the opinion of think
ing men. to be merely a domestic diff
ficulty between England and Ireland
1t has now become matter of seri-
Gus concern to all nations, great and
small and to all races, big and little"
