Real Mother Country

It is quite clear that the outlook
of the author Of the document is
bounded entirely by the horizon Of
the British Empire.
This is mot my stand and at q
conference in London with British
representatives I made it clear that
Ireland is a mother country with
duties, responsibilities, feelings and
devotions of a mother country.
This simple statement had more
effect on the British delegates than
all the other arguments about do
minion status or all the arguments
basing the CLAIMS Of our historic
nation on any new found idea.
Irish nationhood springs from
the Irish people, not from any COM
parison with any other nation, not
from any equalIty-inherent or &C.
quired-with any other nation.
Clause One of the document,
which states:-"The legislative, ex.
ecutive and judicial authority Of
Ireland shall be derived solely from
the people Of Ireland" is a declara-
ton Of rights more suitable to form
the bass Of a constitution for a
free nation than to be incorpor-
ated In a treaty of peace between
two nations that have been at war.
The opponents of the treaty were
insistent upon the argument that
it was Britain, Cby passing the
treaty through her parliamenO
who conferred on us the rights and
powers of the treaty.
But we would definitely stipla.e
for like British acquiesence by the
adoption OF Document Two.
That Is clear from the clause
asking ratification by the British
parliament. The British ratifica-
ton is a legal thing. 1t is no
worse in one case than in another.
1t Is no better, either. But surely
no one recognizes any right In
Britain to agree or disagree with
that fundamental principle of
freedom which concerns the peo-
pie of Ireland alone.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1922-02-12
British Ban Subs

There Is one other thing under
these clauses that I should like to
explain from my own personal
knowledge Of how the matter
arose. The British representatives
made II quite clear to us that the
British people could not or would
not, for the sake Of their own
safety, allow any Irish govern
ment to build submarines.
Document Two comedies this
British claim fully. Britain does
not mind if we build a dread
nought or two or a battleship or
two One submarine would be
greater menace to her than these.
Document Two therefore gives
way to her on the only point that
really matters.
This cannot be stated too en-
phatically. Such a concession to
British necessity, real or sup
posed, is nothing but rank dis
honesty. Let us agree, IL need be,
that we shall not build submar-
ines, but do not let us pretend
that we are doing it from any mo-
tive other than the real motive.

u. S. History Ostensibly
Published to Aid Characterization %

in Green at the first set of as
terisks is this:
From the hour Of American in
dependence the life of the English
people has followed not in one cur
rent, but in two. And while the
older has shown little signs of les
SEEMING, the younger has fast risen
to a greatness which has changed
the face Of the world. In the days
that are at hand the main current
of that peoples history must run
along the channel not Of the
Thames or the Mersey. but Of the
Hudson and the Mississippi"
What Ward omits from the
English history in the second
place is this:
VITAL TRUTHS REVERSED.
1T is possible that the two
branches of the English people
will remain forever separate
political existences. 1t is likely
enough that the older Of them
may again break in twin"
1t Is some little relief to find
at least a few English utterances
that are not to the taste of our
Anglophile revisionists Of Amer
lean independence. This Prof.
Ward has declared in a letter of
defense" In the New York Times
that he pretends nothing but to
teach American school children,
regarding the Revolution, the YER
sions of British authorities only.
And now he Is found out British

the worst of English thought,
how vastly different would be
their teaching!
Long consecrated vital truths
are incontinently reversed in this
organized propaganda for our re-
colonization. When parents to-
day were school children the

Irish Do Not Ask This

Thus committed to an associa-
ton so vague. 1t might afford
grounds for claims by Britain
which might give her an oppor-
tunity to press for control in az.
fairs as common concern" and to
use, or threaten to use, force.
The Irish people could not have
asked and would not agree to com.
nit themselves to anything so
vague. Clause four does not mend
the matter, but makes It worse,
as a common concern" may in
clude anything else as we'll as the
things named. In fact It Is very
common knowledge that there are
many common concerns" in the
inter-dealings between various
states OF the commonwealth. This
is a very vital point.
We know that there are many
things the states Of the British
commonwealth can afford to re-
gard as common concerns" which
we could not afford so TO regard.
This is where we must be care
full to protect ourselves the best

amalgamating and entering iAto
agreements, etc. The King OF
Great Britain would then occupy
the same relative position to-
wards the associated states as a
managing director occupies toward
associated businesses.
Whereupon 1t was very wisely
pointed out by a journalist who
was nvening up the debate that a
managing director is one who man.

After all whatever we may say
Of royal prerogatives or any thing
Of that kind. no modern, demo-
cratic nation is managed or direc-
ted. by one ruler. The plain peo-
pie will not be impressed by this
managing director nonsense. The
plain people will see no differences
between these oaths.
We see clearly that we must al
ways rely upon our own strength
to keep the freedom that we have
obtained and to make 1t secure.
And 1t is to be borne in mind that
the constitutional status OF Canada,
as defined in the treaty. gives us
stronger assurance Of our immun-
ity from interference by British in
definite clauses in Document two.

Dangerous Spots

These clauses have nothing ef-
fective to back them up They
have practically all the disadvant-
ages of the treaty. 1t Is too I'M
certain altogether to have our fu-
ture relationship based on ifs"
and unless" and terms like "as
far as our resources will permit"
These attempts at Improvement
are nothing but dangerous friction
spots which II is to the interest Of
Ireland to avoid. Ireland being the
weaker nation, is in a much better
position by having such things
clearly understood.
Here I may remark that much
has been said by opponents Of the
treaty about 'buttressing up the
British Empire" All these de-
Tense clauses in Document Two
are open to exactly the same at
tack. Under these clauses we
could not assist an Indian or
Egyptian craft that happened to
get into Irish waters. These coun-
tries are at war with Britain and
we should be bound by our prof
fered agreement to help Britain.
Under the treaty we should have
a representative at the League
Of Nations Qf we approved the
League Of NationsJ and that
representative would have real
power to prevent aggression
against Egypt and India.
Now I have to deal with clauses
Seven and Ten, together. These
clauses have reference to the mat
ter OF defense. To the ordinary OBJ
server there is little difference be-
tween them and the clauses Of the
treaty covering the sams subject

TIME soul Of Benedict Arnold
still survives in the treason
to American traditions which
pollutes many recently revised text
books in use in our public schools.
The same spirit that betrayed our

Shocking to patriotic spirit and

Clause Unintelligible

Clause Five-"That In virtue
Of this association Of Ireland
with the states Of the British
commonwealth. the citizens of
Ireland In any of these states
shall not be subject to any dis
abilities which any citizen Of one
Of the component states Of the
British commonwealth should not
be subject to. and reciprocally for
the citizens of these states In
Ireland"
This clause is unintelligible. 1t
does not meet the Irish wish to
have some sort OF sentimental
racial tie with all the children of
our race. The expressed common
citizenship" in the treaty is not
ideal but II Is less indefinite than
the other and does not attempt to
confine Ireland's mother claims to
states of the British common
wealth.
Clause six-"That for purposes
Of this association Ireland shall
recognize his Brittanic Majesty
as head Of the association"
This clause gives recognition Of
the British crown-a recognition
which is as precise as any given
in the treaty. 1t was after the
discussion Of this clause that De
Valera's alternative oath was
produced.

It was claimed for Document
Two by its sponsors that it would
be approved by the English people.
They also claimed that England
had never kept treaty and that
she would not keep the present
treaty. The inference, Of course,
was that England would keep a
treaty which she had not signed,
but would not keep a treaty which
she had signed.
At the outset let me say that
this document was not drafted by
De Valera. There Is little difficulty
In guessing who the author Is.
Dominionism tinges every line Of
this production. No Irishman who
understands the traditions and his
tory Of Ireland would think or
write his country's aspirations in
the terms used In this document.

Imperial Conference

In the official laudation given to
Document Two by the organ Of its
supporters, the following state
ment occurs:
Clauses three and four must be
read together. What they mean
II this, that the association in mat
tiers Of common concern shall be
= free one, and not binding Ireland
to submit to decisions either Of
Britain alone or of a majority Of
the states Of the commonwealth, Of
which Britain is one.
"It is on that footing that an
Irish representative would attend
meetings Of the body known as the
imperial conference consisting Of
the Dominion premiers and British
cabinet ministers, to discuss and
cooperate in matters Of common
concern
THAT Is tho footing on which

known as a constitutional resolu-

IRELAND CANNOT
z BUILD SUBMARINES
BY HAYDEN TALBOT.
Universal Service Special Correspondent.
Special Gable Dispatch.


... Special Gable Dispatch.
DUBLIN, Feb. 11-Early in the week when Michael
Collins was snatchng moments at all hours to dictate
fragments of the accompanying article his attention
was called to newspaper interview with De Valera
In this interview the former president stated that it
had always been his intention to accede to the wishes
of Britain in the matter of building submarines
though the whole world recognized the Republic OF
Ireland.
1t was then that Mick incorporated the statement
regarding ths submarine question it appears in his
article.
From absolutely authentic sources I have since
gained other information this point which goes far
toward explaining recent remark credited to Collins
during the negotiations in London" learn that Col
Inns recently said to intimate friend:
AT one time in the negotiations Lloyd George had
much to say about the possibility of active warfare
being waged Time and time again asked him:
Surely, in Gods name, you not serious. Surely,
in Gods name-and l said just that-you do not
imagine for moment that Ireland would attempt such
mad things. Spain, Holland, France Germany, all
tried at the height of their power and disaster befe
them. How can you seriously regard Ireland as
potential power?"
"But his reply was unanswerable: I am serious, he
declared You build submarines submarines
are the flying columns of the And have had
plenty of experience with your flying columns on
land, Mister Collins
"There it was He fatty told US that England would
never permit to build submarines Of the only
three kinds of ships that there is the least use Of
building The other two are being made.
I'VE brought this information back to Dublin and
laid it before the President-and he knows well
any of why that submarine clause in Document Two
was thereupon promptly inserted.

vital point in the whole of the negotiations But

Slight Alterations

The remaining clauses seem
nothing but repetition Of the
clauses of the treaty with only
such slight alterations as no one
but q fractionist looking for
means Of making mischief. would
have thought 1t worth while to
have risked wrecking the treaty
for.
It is q fair criticism that the
treaty contains obsolete phraseol-
ogy no longer suited to the status
of freedom and equality of the
states Of the commonwealth and
that are out of touch with the
realition Of our freedom.
But the phraseology does not
alter the fact of our freedom and
we have the right, and will exer-
else the right to use a form of
words to secure an Interpretation
more in accordance with the
facts.
As an improvement on the

We negotiated from the stanLl-
point of an Independent sovereign
nation with a view Of finding some
means Of being honorably associat-
ed with the British group of ma
tons in a way in which we were
not associated with them before
the negotiations.
The link which binds JUS to that
group is the link which binds free
nations in voluntary association.
This is what we have obtained in
the treaty-freedom within our ma
