OF THE IRISH- MEN WHO WERE HANGED IN ENGLAND, The report of the Royal Commis- sion on the Rebellion in Ireland on the events that had culminated in the Easter uprising of 1916 is a diagnosis without a prescription, It reflected the conviction of the bureaucratic mind in and out of Dublin Castle that the way to deal with discontent is to put it down by force. Addressing his judges in the shadow .of the scaffold, Roger Case- ment, one of the most striking*figures in the rebellion, sharply brought out |the chasm that separated England and Ireland when he said: td SPN ST. SS TSS bonus would show “no lack of regard for the ser- pose of it. The wonder is that when a rich man makes his will he doesn’t attach some sort of affidavit to sup- port the usual phrase: “I, being of sound mind.” What a deal of litigation could be saved if there were some competent, authoritative tribunal that could certify to 2 man’s sanity at the moment he signed his will. It is easy to understand why lawyers have never advocated anything of the sort. But where is the enterprise and common sense of testators? Why not certified wills? There is widespread dissatisfaction with the modern girl. She is rapidly getting into a class with the weather, a GREEN EYED. 4 ed jealousy of the Hylanites crops out in strange way The Vice Chairman of Mayor Hylan’s Commi'- tee on Rent Profiteering says: “As a matter of justice, it should be known that the Mayor’s com- mittee was functioning’ in 1919, long before the Lockwood committee had come into existenoe.” And again: vice men.” He hints at the difficulty of, providing any present bonus without any “such injury to the country as will nullify the benefits to the ex-service men themselves which this expression of gratitude is designed to bestow.” But if a bonus must be, and be now, the Presi- dent professes to believe: “The American people will accept the levy of a general sales tax to meet the proposed bonus payments, and we should contribute thereby no added difficulties to the prob- lems of readjustment.” If the President thinks clinging to that belief will get him out of the mess, he is deceiving no one but himself. A sales tax in place of other existing taxes, a sales tax without the prospect of an upward tariff revision that will raise commodity prices, a sales tax that did not present itself as a. new tax super- imposed upon other taxes might be a different matter. But a present sales tax plus the pyramided prices “It was out of the vast experience obtained by the Hylan committee that the most valu- able features of the Lockwood committee were obtained.” Possibly the Palm Beach-New York wavio has been out of commission, due to storms. That would explain the above statement. We imagine the Mayor hoped for silence regarding the history of Hizzoner’s Own Committee on Rent Profiteer- ing. Perhaps the Hylanites are depending on short memories to carry this claim through to.the voters. | Just to keep the record straight, let’s review the | history of the Mayor’s committee: | The committee did do good work. It did pave | the way for the Lockwood committee. But at that profiteers would build on it could only pile additional burdens upon classes of consumers who can least stand more burdens. It would do exactly what the President ties to make himself think it would not do. It would “commit the Government to class imposition of taxes.” And the class that would suffer most is the class to which most of the soldiers and their fami- lies belong. Secretary Mellon was more honest with himself. He said: Find some broad class of commodity on which reasonable taxes would not be too great a burden. From Evening World Readers | “Loyalty is a sentiment, not a law. It rests on love, not on restraint. The Government of Ireland by England |rests on restraint, and not on law; {and since it demands no love, it can | evoke no loyalty.” | In discussing the armament of Ul- ster in its efforts to block Home Rule jin 1914, a historian of the rebellion | has pointed out that rifles “were im= ported from Hamburg and landed in Larne; and by means of a perfectly co-ordinated and admirable piece of organization, distributed over Ulste# in twenty-four hours.” Casement’s justification of his con- duct in pursuing a similar course for the defense of Ireland is contained in his statement before his judges that |he was not “adhering to the King’s enemies” but “adhering to his own people.” It is easy to understand the British point of view in the circumstances. A British subject had been captured with arms in his hands—the arms of an enemy, arms directed against the British Empire. In time of war tech- jnicalities are brushed aside by the urgings of the instinct to survive. Roger Casement—who had served Britain and humanity with distinction in the past, and had been dubbed a {knight fur such services as the Putu- mayo investigation—died as a traitor under the provisions of an English statute more than five centuries old. But he was politically canonized by the treaty of 1921. And the act of canon’ nm was recorded under the same that had decreed his execu- tion as It is possible to deprecate Case- ment's conduct—although there is evi- dence that he was hastening to Ire- land on an eri of restraint and not of provocation—as the adventure of zealot lacking in judgmen. But he performed a valuable service to both Ireland and the British Emptre at the cost of his life. He demonstrated that loyalty “rests on love, not on restraint.” The name of Roger Casement stands jai the foot of the long list of Irishmen ____ | Who were hanged in England for fail- ng to bridge the gulf of misunder- | standing that had yawned for cen- turies between two neighboring peo- |ples.
