Hut I do feel at liberty to say, however, that the rvportid "hold-up'' and robbery of two American seamen by police In the city of Cork haa all the smptoms of propaKanda lnti nded to create sentiment In America aRalnst England and In faw.r of Irish ln-depei-dence. It Is my nndld opinion that Hnsland nnd Ireland shoud 1 I.ft to settlo th, Ir own affairs unhamperl by any Interferes from ua, either by act or Inferecce. In fact. It la difficult to determine any worthy prin ciple upon whlrh we can claim the ritht to make represen'atl-.ns on behalf of other oppressed peep- when we hae ao many of them here at home.
