Some critics suggest that the Revolutionary Forces are only corner loafers, quite satisfied with things as they are, who refuse to listen to De Valera or Griffith or any one else. Not that De Valera seems much inclined to stop them. His statements to a correspondent of the "Manchester Guardian" are just the opposite. "If the army could save the nation from the calamities bound to follow the acceptance of the treaty I think it justifiable for them to use their strength to that end."

...only explanations of the dying interest are ignorance of the requirements for or even the existence of the prizes and the pressure of other work.
