THE HURON EXPOSITOR SEAFORTH, Friday, October 15, 1920 THE DEGRADATION OF IRISH GOVERNMENT „ The Manchester Guardian in. a re cent editorial has the following ver pointed things to say about the re prisals practised by the forces of th English Executive in. Ireland; Has the Government yet realize the depth of degradation into whic it is sinking in Ireland? We can re call nothing in British- annals th least cemparable to the gross an scandalous excesses now almost dail committed by the agents of the law and forces of the Executive in Ireland The nearest approach to a parallel i any modern civilized State is perhap to be found in the pogroms formerl committed by members of the "Bac 'Hundred" under the Tsar's Govern raent or such.as are even now report led as going on in. the unsettled dis tricts of the Ukraine. But that, un der a British Government, arrne constabulary or even. armed soldiers— their occupations in Ireland are now almost identical—should commit de liberate and cold-blooded murders an give up, as happened this week a Balbriggan, nearly a whole town t the flames would be incredible if th fedi were not unfortunately wel authenticated. Of the two sets o outrages the murders are on the whol the more terrible, because they ar the more deliberate and display th more -complete perversion of the ma .chinery of law and of the prevention .of crime into an agency for the viola tion of all law and the commission o ,outrageous crime. We report to -day another example, in which a country 'councillor from --'1,imerick—almos necessarily, therefore, a Sinn Feiner— was shot in a Dublin hotel by a party of men described by the porter as '"Black and Tans"—i.e., the newly formed and English -recruited ex -sol- diers converted into police—who fore, ed. their way late at night inta the hotel, held up the night -porter • -searched the hotel register, and, then killed their victim in, his bedroom ft is stated that he fired first. Un- fortunately he is not here to tell the tale. These crimes and outbreaks are .certainly not approved by the Castle authorities. These profess, indeed, to :make inquiries into each alleged out- -rage by the constabulary or the troops as it occurs. But nothing hap- pens. Nothing is published. Nobody 'is punished. Nobody -so far as ap- pears, is even reprimanded. And so the black game of reprisals goes on -and so the Irish Administration—the 'representatives and • agents of the 'Government of this great country :and its mighty dependencies --day by ,days covers itself and Us with deep discredit. Of course, there has been -provocation. Things like this do not 'happen without provocation. There has been horrible provocation. But -reprisal in kind is not a tolerable 'form of action on 'the part of any (Government calling itself civilized. It is the method of the Corsican Vendetta or of the Indian scalp -hunt. 'Let it be said, without more ado, these things have got to stop. They -stink in the nostrils of the British people. They make us, with perfect and irrefutable justice, the mock and the reproach of the world. Is there anybody who thinks they are a sign of strength? They are a sign not of strength but of extraordinary and, so far as this country is concerned, of unparalleled weakness. They are, in Tact, the negation of government and the organization in its place of an- archy. For what is but anarchy wfien a Government is so impotent that it dare not punish misdeeds When done by its own nominal agents—that has become, in fact, the puppet and play- thing of those agents, who are able to stalk the land at pleasure and wreak vengeance as seems to them fit on whom they will? These are no words of exaggera- tion. Not all the outbreaks by police and soldiery are recorded in the Brit- ish or even in. the Irish press. But quite enough are recorded to substanti- ate every word that we have said. Such things, of course, would be abso- lutely impossible in this country— though how long they will remain. impossible it is difficult to say if we accustom kert of the forces of the Crosses to act as though they were un- disciplined troops in an enemy coun- try. But neither ought they to be possible in Ireland. Why are they possible? It is because our states- men refuse to look facts in the face; because there is apparently not a single man in the Government, from the Prime Minister downward, who has a policy for Ireland beyond the policy of stupid and ineffective force; because we refuse to recognize that there are in Ireland real griefs which demand real remedies; and because when Nationalist Ireland asks for bread we offer her a stone. Well, it will be said, such generalities nsay be all very well, but what are we to do in the meantime—how stop the mis- chief and educe order out of the pre- vailing chaos? There is no ' single answer to such a question. The statesman has a hard task in Ireland. The country has been so grossly mis- managed and bedevilled, everything done to exasperate and nothing to heal, every opportunity thrown away <there have been plenty), and no decent policy evolved, that the task of appeasement has become, almeet intolerably difficult. But it is won- derful what a little courage and a little sincerity will do. Let the 'Gov- ernment begin by doing their duty in thier plain and simple matter. Let them dismiss every constable who ex- ceeds his duty; let them, if needful, remove the whole of the new 100, a day demoralized ex -army men, who are discrediting the -fine old force; let them remove every body of troops who are guilty of outrage and break every officer who can be shown to have taken part in or connived at their guilt. Let them, in a word, stop the rot, Of course it may cost them something, but it will not cost them a thousandth part_ of the loss 'they are daily in- curring, and if due warning were given and it. were clearly understood, as -it soon would be, that the Govern- ment are in earnest, the temporary difficulty would be all the less. After that things might be a little easier and the Government, having given evidence of their own good faith, might go on to challenge the leaders of Sinn Fein and of the army of Sinn Fein, who are not all murderers or approvers of murder, to follow suit. They might further challenge the Catholic priesthood .and hierarchy of •Ireland, who have not yet done their full duty in this vital matter, further to assist, Then, if there were violence and bloodshed, at 'east it would not be of our doing, and the ground might be clearer for a real effort of states- manship. TRAFALGAR WEEK ,Widows and orphans of merchant sailors, who were killed on. active service during the war, are to be pensioned by the Navy League of Canada. This announcement is made by the League in their preparation for the fourth annual "Trafalgar" sail- ors' week, October 18th to 23rd, when it is proposed to raise $760,000 in• a national campaign for the relief of widows, orphans, training of Can- adian boys, for sailors' institutes, de- velopment of the movement and ad- ministration. . The • grants of the Navy League for relief in Canada up to date amount to $30,250. After this year the League expects to cease asking 1 for funds for the relief of the Can- adian dependents of merchant sailors who were killed on active service. With the trust funds now in hand and $144,000 which is included in'the campaign total, it should be possible to establish an endowment, the in- come from which will be sufficient to provide these dependents with a pen- sion equal to that granted to the de- pendents of naval men who were also killed on active service. As many of these dependents are young children, the endowment must continue for a number of years, until the -children be come self supporting. Ontario proposes to raise $450,000; Quebec $110000; New Brunswick, $20,000; Prince Edward Island, -$15,- 000; Alberta, $30,000; Nova Scotia, $50'000; Manitoba, $30,000; Saskat- chewan, $30,000, and British Columbia $25,000. $125,500 will be used for the pro- motion of a national seas conscious spirit; $271,000 for the training of Canadian boys; $144,000 for the re- lief of widows and orphans as well as pension; $179,500 for institutes, and $40,000 for national administra- tion.
