...Irish Peace agreement marks the end of a second period of terrorism and guerilla warfare which has not only brought little credit to Ireland but has even cast grave doubts on her ability to govern herself under the Irish Free State. Like the treaty between England and Sinn Fein this settlement was signed quite suddenly at a crisis of Irish affairs. Since the speeches of Collins and De Valera, in a sort of Lincoln-Douglas series, early in March, conditions have grown steadily worse, particularly in Limerick and about Belfast, until finally they assumed almost the dimensions of a reign...

The extend to which these followers of the Sinn Fein have been wrought up was undeniably demonstrated by the Union Club incident in New York--an incident constituting a direct insult to Great Britain and American citizens as well. When De Valera's activities, or those of his immediate adjutants, induce such proceedings, it is time that those--activities should be stopped...
