De Valera also suggested that America test the sincerity of Eng lar.\l through the Irish question. "Why should it be believed that England wants peace when she will not pay the only price by which peace can be purchased—justice?" he said. "It is important for America t'o know whether England wants peace j and a reign of justice, or whether, | in the proposed League of Nations, j her intentions are the same as when i her statesmen were mouthing moral ' sentiments of liberty and the sanc tity of agreements at the very mo ment they were plotting secret treaties and disposing of their mili-' tary forces throughout the world, so that peace might find them in possession of more added territory than all the vast United States. And, while all this was going on. Premier Lloyd George was calling upon high heaven to witness that England had no selfish motive in the war."
