Doheny, of California, to be their
leader. This man, who happens to
be both rich and able, has courage
and an enthusiasm for the Irish
cause which few men, even Irish
Americans, at the Democratic Ma
tional Convention at San Francisco
last summer, exhibited.
As we recall it there was not
man on the Democratic Resolutions
Committee who dared to offer the
resolution for Irish independence
except Mr.. Doheny. Mr.. Doheny
was a stranger to those who had
the resolution in charge. He was
unused to public speaking, unused
to personal participation in great
throngs and especially unused to
entering an arena where experienced
and able men contested in oratory.
Not being a politician he was un-

what he thought and felt. It was
brave performance, and it put lot

Protesting
Too Much
THE premiers of all the British
dominions beyond the seas are

dominions beyond the seas are
meeting to discuss Imperial
questions in London, on, June "a.
Propaganda use is being made of the
statement that the first and most inn
portant consideration is to be the
treaty of alliance between Great
Britain and Japan. The British
colonial representatives desire the
renewal of that alliance, but not
until every clause which might make
the United States suspicious of it is
eliminated.
In other words this statement is
given out to prepare us for the i'm
portant fact that Great Britain is
about to renew her offensive and de-
fensive alliance with Japan.
We have no right to object to that
alliance. If England proceeds in the
good, old-fashioned way to protect
herself against possible contin-
gencies, or commercial rivalries
which have from the beginning of
time caused nine-tenths of all the
wars, it is only ordinary national
prudence.
But there are only three naval
powers in the world today. A sin
gle broadside from any one of these
three naval powers could sink all the
navies of all the rest of the world.
These three powers are England,
Japan and the United States. For
what purpose does Great Britain
need any alliance with Japan, then,
unless it be as possible protection
against the United Statesi
Her right to make such an alliance
with Japan is unquestioned, but why
do her propagandists protest so
much that the alliance is one of
friendship toward the United States,
when the United States is now the
only power except Japan that she
has to take into consideration at all
The original treaty was justified
upon the ground that Russia and
Germany were both powerful in the
Far East and possessed threatening
navies. That situation has passed.
Japan and the United States are now
her only competitors on the seven
seas.
We do not object when the far
sighted British statesmen-they are
always far-sighted-make an alliance
with Japan, but we do not see how
the particular form or phraseology
of that treaty of alliance can be ad-
duced as part of Great Britain's
friendship for US.
We admire British statesmen for
the sleepless vigilance with which
they protect British interests. We
only wish our own statesmen would
show equal vigilance and not be
lulled to sleep by mere professions
of friendship, supported by ceaseless
propaganda.
