with them alas like as peas in

which is that the Declaration Of
Independence was falsehood and
the revolution a farce.
GREENLAw'S VERSION.
Says Greenlaw:
First, the Revolution was not
fought against the English nation,
but against the government that
was then in power. 1t was a part
Of the long struggle for free gov
eminent that had been going on
in England for centuries.
Second, Americans are related
to England, not only by descent
but through their Institutions.
The political ideals of the two
people are the same. Pitt and
Burke hoped that the differences
between the colonies and the
British government might be
settled and that no separation
would take place. Their work
was unavailing. But the spiritual
unity that both saw and valued
has become great and inspiring
fact today. Many years ago
John Richard Green. writing
about the American Revolution,
foresaw this day and wrote of
its significance."-Pape 212.
The significance" thus admir-
ingly referred to In Green's Eng.
llsh history lies in the following
paragraph which Prof. Greenlaw
quotes on the next page, and
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1922-02-12

which same paragraph is also
lovingly quoted by Prof. Ward:
But one issue is inevitable. In
the centuries that lie before us
the primacy OF the world will lie
with the English people. English
institutions. English speech, Eng
lish thought, will become the
main features OF the political, the
social and the intellectual life Of
mapkind."
BAD AMERICAN HISTORY"
There is no fault to be found
with this as English history. But
1t is bad American history. It
does not apply to the American
people, more than 20 per cent. of
whom are of descent other than
English, and whose ideals, tradi-
tons and institutions are not
English but American. It ig.
nores American prestige and pur-
poses. 1t takes no account of
. American nationalism. It makes
no appeal to American patriotic
spirit.
In our children It cannot arouse
any pride, but must only induce a
sense Of servility. Its influence is
not for Americanization, but for
characterization worse yet,
Briticization.
But a still worse infamy lies in
the practice of one of the re-
visionists who, In substituting
English history for our own. goes
so far even as to cause the Eng
lish historian Green, through
garbling Of his text, to appear to
say far more than he meant.
Prof. Ward (pages 3S-39) quotes
Green as follows:
OUTBRITISHING BRITISH.
Americans can realize now the
truth Of what the English his
torian Green wrote when the
population of the United States
was only forty millions: If
American independence crippled
for a while the supremacy of the
English nation, II founded the
supremacy Of the English race.
Every year proves more
clearly that in spirit the English
people is one. The distance that
parted England from America les
sens every day. The ties that
unite them grow every day
stronger. In the CEN
turtles that lie before us the pri.
macy OF the world will lie with
the English people"

T N this second article you have asked me to deal
l. with the alternative to the treaty and suppose
that what strikes the mind is the alternative which
put forward by Mr.. De Valera.
The main difference between the treaty and that alter
native (known Document Two) is that signed
by the plenpotentares of both nations and has been
approved by the representatives of both nations and
that the other is not thus signed.
In my belief it would have been signed in its
present form. Not, indeed that it contains much that
is not in the treaty. and not either that contains much
to which England would object, but simply, mean to
show, that in its construction it is too loose.
Undoubtedly, therefore, in the application of its de-
tails, we would constantly have been faced with
cting interpretations leading to inevitable dscordance.

authority IL to be vested in the
parliamnt Of Ireland. which will
alone have power to make laws
for peace and order in the gov
eminent of Ireland. %.
Clauses Two, Three and Four
are all a loose paraphrase of the
treaty and are dangerous and mis-.
leading In their looseness. Look
at them:
"2.-That for purposes of their
common concern Ireland shall be
associated with the states of the
British commonwealth. viz, the
Kingdom Of Great Britain. the
Dominion of Canada, the Com
mnwealth Of Australia and Do
minion Of New Zealand. and the
Union Of South Africa.
"3.-That while acting as such
associate the rights, status and
privileges of Ireland shall in no
respect be less than those enjoyed
by any Of the component states Of
the British commonwealth
"4.-That matters of common
concern shall include defense,
peace. war and political treaties
and all matters now treated as of
common concern amongst the
states Of the British common
wealth. and that in these matters
there shall be between Ireland
and the states Of the British COM
monwealth such concerted action
as shall be founded on consulta.

Freedom in Treaty

The Association" Of the treaty is
less equivocal than the 'associa-
ton" of document two. The question
was Of an association which would
be honorable to ireland and which
would give us full freedom to
manage our own affairs and pre-
vent interference by Britain, and
which would give us a maximum Of
security that this freedom would
be observed, and which would be

of geographical propinquity. This
is where we had to find some form

 You start in the kitchen, levying heavy duties on kitchen utensils and ware" said the senator. Next you inn pose heavy tax on tableware and then you go after the furniture in the home, levying a duty of 60 per cent on furni- ture in common use throughout the country.
 If this tax is for revenue, then I say to you do not go into the homes of the people to tax the necessities to raise 8 revenue"
