...truth is that as yet neither of these things has happened. The only two prominent Republicans who openly voiced their opposition to the President's remarks were Senators Borah and La Follette. A larger number of Republican Senators-Smoot, McKinley, Sterling, McNary and others-came out openly in favor of the President's proposal. Several important Republican leaders kept scrupulous silence-and in some cases it was a silence of disapprobation. Senator Moses, chairman of the Republican Senatorial Committee is in Europe-but an irreconcilable. Representative Wood, chairman of the corresponding House committee, is known to be opposed...

The importation of slaves to the United States was forbidden in 1808, but illicit trade continued over 50 years until the Civil War and the Declaration of Emancipation. England was against the slave trade...
Eamon de Valera, President of the Irish Republican Government, sent a note to the Free State Government offering to negotiate terms of peace. The document, which looks like a free translation of Jean Jacques Rousseau's Contrat Social, does not, however, make any allusion to a surrender of arms-a stipulation which, as the Free State Government has constantly emphasized, must precede any peace parley...
