...allow their emotions, either sympathetic or political, to lead them to such extremes as this. From the practical standpoint, the Mason bill would be of no advantage either to this country or to Ireland. The cause of Irish freedom, with which so many of us sympathize, would suffer more harm than good from the presence of American diplomatic and consular officials.

No Senate has ever before rejected a Presidential nominee for the Cabinet, and it would be unwise for the present one to do so. For, in selecting Mr. Colby, the President has indicated the kind of man he wants; and if the Senate refuses him this one, there are any number of others of a similar sort that he may nominate. If the President is to be held fully responsible...
