THE IRISH QUESTION.
MOST questions have two sidos. But the Irish quos-
tioii has throe. There is the viewpoint of the
Irishman in Ireland, the Englishman in England, and the
neutral, up iu a tree.
And from the standpoint, of the latter, whieh is the
only standpoint possible at this longitude, it is difficult
to understand the viewpoints of the other two. AVhy Ire
hind should want complete independence and why Eng
land should oppose it, remains a mystery, we believe, to
most observers of neutral perspective.
For generations Ireland fought for home rule and got
it. The war alone delayed its establishment, and but for
the Sinn Fein fuss in Ireland home rule would undoubt
edly be realized now. "With home rule Ireland would re
ceive the benefits of freedom and independene without
the liabilities and burdens. . j
If Ireland were a geographical entity far removed
from English shores, the ease would be entirely different.
Then she might readily attain commercial, industrial and
racial independence. But -only a stone's throw from Liv
erpool, there would seem to lie only two alternatives for
the Irish people; home rule with English friendship or
independence with English hostility. And with the two
countries independent and competing nations, England
with her army and fleet and Ireland, with no fleet and
only a relatively small army, what would be the inevitable
outcome? Merely a case it would seem, of the canary and
the Cheshire.
On the other hand why doesn't England grant Irish
independence? For twenty years Ireland hasn't been a
paying investment. She is no longer a source of profit,
and she is and has been a great source of trouble. It would
appear from this distance, England would loose nothing
by giving Ireland what she wantsand might gain a great
deal. Moreover there is the principle of self-determination.
.--,,'
Of course to the native Irishman and the native Eng
lishman the question is not so simple as this. There is the
religious element, the Belfast problem, and a hundred
other complications that date back before Crqmwells in
vasion..'; -There is sufficient grief in the word, however,
without delving into that.
! But taking the situation iii its broad outlines, it would
seem that Irish pugnacity and British stupidity are the
main causes for the -controversy: If the Irish were less
combative and the English more discerning, the trouble
might be easily compromised,. But with racial qualities
immutable, the only solution discernible from the top of
the eucaliptus is for England to discover that granting in
dependence will be the only way , of convincing Ireland
that independence is not what she wants..
'inat may sound. Irish. As a matter of fact it is. But
this is the Irish question. - .
