Ireland. unlike Britain, had
never become a part of the Ro-
man empire. Even IL the Romans
had invaded Ireland, and had been
able TO get a foothold. 1t is not
probable that they would have
succeeded in imposing their form
of government. In that time our
own native civilization had be-
come well advanced. II had ad-
vanced FAR past the primitive so
cial state Of the Britons and OF
other Of the north European peo-
Piles.
And It had, through it's demo-
cratic basis, which would have

self on this pronounoement of Mr..
Griffith's, and labor is a power
in Ireland today. The people. too,
are suspicious OF changes.
These are only a few OF the
points that the people of Ireland
are pondering over today. and
this is the question that is daily
being asked with more and more
insistence:
Have the signatories been again
In the old way fooled by the
old enemy. and win the result of
all these negotiations be:
THE establishment OF a new
English pale on the old lines.
C--rhe division OF the rest of Ire

deity 10 the constitution OF the
Irish Free State; and In further
addition we have the declaration
Of fidelity 10 the empire itself"
Whether our ENJOYS were them
selves tricked. or whether they
agreed 10 trick the Irish people
is the obvious question that Irish
people are asking today. which
ever way the question is an
swered. Il win not help these
men to keep the confidence OF
the Irish people, and unless they
have the confidence and the sup
port of the people. they win be
powerless to govern efficiently.
Nor can this treaty, based on mis-
understanding. bring anything
but dissention between the two
nations.
Then there Is the question OF
the northern plane deliberately
set up by the British cabinet In
anticipation of the south beoom-
ing unanimously separafist. The
situation there becomes daily
worse. Mr.. Collins has called off
the Belfast boycott. If he did SO
to propitiate Sir James Craig. Il
would appear from the press that
he has failed. Then, too. Mr..
Lloyd George seems TO interpret
this treaty so az TO secure power
TO himself TO postpone the bound
AIRY commission. This gives the
Irish people much cause for
thought, and reason for suspicion,
both of the sincerity of Mr. Lloyd
George and of the capacity OF Mr..
Collins and his advisers.
Next comes tie question OF the
formation of the constitution.
Mr.. Griffith and Mr.. Collins
seem to believe that looseness of
the treaty can be made OF use
by them. Mr.. Collins makes the
amazing announcement. I'VE
make our own decisions, and II
is we who decide how we are

Mr. Griffith even went so far as

Reverse of Roman.

The pertinacity OF Irish civiiizs-
ton was due to the democratic
basis of its economic system. 1t
was the reverse of Roman civfliza-
tion in which the State was held
together by a central authority
controlling It and defending it. the
people being left 10 themselves in
all social and intellectual matters.
Highly organized. Roman civiliza-
ton was powerful. especially for
subduing and dominating other
races, for time. But not being
rooted In the interests and respect
OF the people themselves Il could
not survive.
Gaelic civilization was quite diff
ferent. The people of the whole
nation were united. not by mate
rial forces. but by spiritual ones.
Their unity was not OF amy nnili-
tary solidarity. II came from shar-
ing the same traditions. 1t came
from honoring the same heroes,
from inheritipg the same litera-
ture. from willing obedience to the
same law--the law which was
their own law and reverenced by
