BY FORREST DAVIS. Special Cablegram to The Star. DUBLIN, Ireland, ruary 23— Now that “the trouble” is over—the late unpleasantness is always re- ferred to as “the trouble”—many Irishmen are looking toward the United States for help in redeeming thelr land from the decay-of seven| years of war, foreign and domestic. The lower orders, typified by Pat- rick, the intglligent jarvey, have their hopes fixed vaguely on the untold wealth In American vaults. Patrick is so eager, indeed, for American help that he assesses his modest charges in dollars and so fixes the value of! the shilling that the exchange rate in unfavorable to the former coin. But many in the higher classes, the| substantial men of business, thei bankers, ‘the politicians, etc., would| borrow from American Initiative to| their land to stimulate its industry and modernize it. Expect Tourist Rush. All sorts and_ conditions, from the lowliest navvy to the loftiest Anglo- Irish capitalist, anticipate a large immigration from America and wili railway | to al “the etc., and forward from welcome it. Hotel peoplo_are looking peacetime tourist rush statep.” Real estate dealers or auctioneers, as they are termed here, are expect-. ing heavy sales of urban homes and rural seats to prosperous Irise Amer- icans. One firm, the largest in Dublin, | has its chief member now In America, with a list of country estates to sell to well-to-do Americans of Irish birth or descent. This firm has sold | two castles to Americans and hopes to dispose of many more. English and Anglo-Irish land owners, who pave been deserting their places in large numbers dur-| ing and since “the trouble” are seized with a fervent desire to scll out now. Scarcely a day but that-thc one-time organ of Dublin Castle wnd English rule. the Irish Times, does not appear with a new announcement of an estate for sale. Ruinous taxes are to blame, partly, the recent dis- orders and the triumph of home rule secondarily. 1t i an interesting speculation. and one in which Irishmen enjoy indulg- ing—that on the effect of a whole- sale influx of well-to-do Irish-Amer- icans to take the castles and rural homes vacated by their present hold- ers. Might Create New Order. “Such a proceeding might create a new order of country families.” | rays Sir Jamea Percy, proprietor of | the Trish Motor News and one of the progressive leaders of Dublin business circles. "1t would be a valu- able contribution to the free state. Such men, trained in the energetic atmosphere of America, would not { be content to settle down as sporting { Yandlords, but would find ways of oc- jcupying their time and talent in in- | dustry and trade. and that would help 1to_vitalize our business life." { sir James does not regard the bringing of American money into Ireland s of great importance. “Ireland has plenty of monev.” he says. And., indeed, the banks are bylging with deposits. ‘The rceent half-yearly statements revealed that the flve or six largest institutions have aesets randing from ten to thirty million pounds each. The to- tal assets of Irish banks are 231.000.- 000 pounds sterling. Heretofore, Trish nationalists assert, money deposited in Irish banke, insurance comparnies. etc. has found its way to England for investment in English industry. Now, they say. and former unionists with them, these funds may be used to develop Ireland, provided only that the free state furnishes the encour- agement and Irish capacity arises to furnigh the means. It is currently reported. too. that the Guinness money, the fortune of the.famous brewing family, will be brought buck now that “the trouble” is over. Only Few Expect to Move. Tt is interesting to compare the views on transatlantic help of Sir James and other loyal, optimistic Jrishmen with those of the Ameri- can vice consul, C. Bay. The stream of American touristsa and visitors passes through Mr. Bay's offices in Sackville street. He sees them when they arrive and he speeds them when they return. “Many so-called I Irish-Americans. who_have accumulated property in the United States. formerly came back with the intention of seitling down on this side for the remainder of their days. There will be mgny more, no |l doubt, now that affairs are becoming | orderly. But. if we may judge by the experience of the past, only a few will actually take up residence here,” testifies Mr. Bay. “They come to an Ireland they have sentimentalized. They have glorified the scenery and the virtues of their former pountrymen. But when they arrive fhey find that Ireland, seen through their twentieth century American eyes, is old-fashioned. “Mostly., I believe they will come, look around a bit and go backito America.” Late Eighteenth Ceatary. Mr. Bay is right. Ireland is late eighteenth century in many respects. The very: anachronism of existence here, the lack of the refinements with which modern American life has been endowed, commends Ireland to tour- ifts, pegple who are seeking other sights and other customs. But to in- dividusls who have had part in a twentieth century civilisation it would appear to be difficult to make a permanent return to ruder manners, | i everywhere underfoot; Dublin, the capital, of 300-odd thousand population, and the most advanced as well as the largest city in the twenty-six southern counties, is a city of the past. Its moldy public buildings and its better class residential quarters, connected houses of long standing, are picturesque. But its narrow, poorly lighted principal streets: the oleaginous mud that 18 its confined shops, antiguated hoteis and provin- clal theaters; the miserable pulches of is materia] advantage also. A re- vived, flourishing Ireland wi'l be_a hillhly competitive selling fleld, and English industry, aided by the pro- English sympathies of big business, will contest stubbornly for the trade.

OPPOSES INTOLERANCE. | Editor of the Prctestant Writes to Legion Commander. Gilbert 0. Nations, editor of Ui Protestant, which is published h declared in a letter to Hanford Mac Nider, national commander of the Am cain Legion, just made public, that ie | was “as uncompromisingly opposed o anything even bordermg on religious | intolerance as you or any one couid be.” The letter was in‘reply to from Mr. MacNider which made & plea for religious tolerance, The March number of the Protes- tant, Mr. Nations added, would carry a full ‘statement on the matter. “As to | the valor of Roman Catholic soldiers in the world War,” he said, “there is no question,” and he added that “no citizen has ' or could have more re- spect for the ex-service men and the legion than I have.” Referring to Mr. MacNider's admi- ration for the Roman Catholic Church as expressed in his letter, Mr. Nations, however, said that he could not share that admiration until that chureh “expiates the terrible ruin it has heaped on Mexico, South America, Spain _and Hungary.” He charged its slums, peopled with scrawny, mal- | sociation and to the community in|that the Roman Catholic Church en- nourished masse: its centuries-old cathedrals and parish churcHes set in juxtaposition to the evil hovels of the poor, showing by dramatic contrast the glory of God and the degradation of His people, lack attraction to American eyes. Whether this condition is by rea- son of English neglect or Irish in- capacity Is of small matter now. The point is, so far as this article is con- cerned, ' the comfortably-off Irish- American who chooses to cast his lot with his former people, will have to make some concessions. The conclusion should not be taken from this article that American busi- ness adventurers will be given en- thusiastic greeting at the dock, or that, indeed, preferences will" be shown American firms by Irish buy- ers. . Antipathy toward the Brilish does not extend to the large business in- terests. There has been a close Inden- tity between English and Irish busi- ness firms and a very large propor- tion of the directors of Irish indus- tries are Scots or Englishmen. There is a sentimental regard for America on the part of many Isish- men, but that sentiment will scarcely be translated into orders unless there 2 You will find here— LETTER FILES —that keep your letters filed 1 alphabetical order—priced at The file illustrated is cquipped with @ patent clasp which opens casily but locks sccurely.
