It is the lack of apprecia- tion displayed by the majority of the people in Ireland of the spiritual aspects of this colossal struggle that exasperates many who sympathise with the ambition of the Irish to develop their national being. Experience has taught us however, that we ought to try to understand the frame of mind of friend or enemy. It was because we ignored the real significance of the national outlook in Germany that the State of Middle Europe was allowed to grow up with the ideals of Prussian

When we consider Ireland, we must attempt to find out how the people have expjessed themselves in their external circumstances. It is with great reluct aner that we are obliged to accept the evidence of the mean and disordered little country towns of Ireland, with their disregard of cleanliness and their. general atmosphere of stagnation. It is, of course, ensy to say that all that is due to the poverty of the people, but absence of wealth does not necessarily imply absence of ideals, for some of mankind's greatest teachers have been of humble circumstances. In Ireland, sente- menes are mistaken for thoughts. Passion has become the dominant factor in the politics of the country, and the mere passionate, and consequently the less thoughtful, a politician becomes, the more popular he grows. To merit respecto people or a face, like an iu- dividual, must realise that moral and intellectual principles are not the out come of passion and prejudice, but of deep and arduous thought.
