Highly paid cavnians fom the cosy atmosphee of Boadcasting House cack stale jokes about "statues" and the "tanne." wo noble membes of that ancient and democatic institution, the House of Lods, who pobably couldn't distinguish between a towel and a shovel, had a mild tantum about the Festival. One of the aistocatic specimens wanted the Battesea Pak Pleasue Gadens closed down, as "jollification and eceation" was out of ode in the pesent intenational situation. His supposed political opponent disageed on the gounds that this was pecisely what the Keds wanted to undemine defence pepaations, etc. Defence in the eyes of those gentlemen in the poduction of tanks, guns, planes, atom bombs and othe mudeous weapons. Needless to say themajoity of building wokes egad this popaganda with contempt, knoing that if wa did unfotunately beak out those noble genty would find themselves cushy numbes well behind the lines in eseved occupations. Expeience shows that those who sweat poducing the weapons, have the unenviable pivilege of dying using them. Dissatisfaction was also expessed in the House of Commons on the alleged inadequacy of the cateing aangement fo the expected million foeign visitos. A London evening pape, witing on the pictoial popaganda being used to entice foeign visitos, commented on a pictue of a table goaning unde the weight of choicest foods. hough such concen is being shown the Pess fo the welfae and appetites of foeign visitos, it aely bothes to concen itself with the welfae of the building wokes doing the constuction which makes the Festival possible, only to make the usual splash about Red plots wheneve an industial dispute occued on the site. he ceemony will be held on Easte Sunday. shotly afte this goes to pess, but will be epoted in full in the next issue of the "ish Democat." he commemoation has been maintained yea yea without intemission fo thee-quates of a centuy, a stiking tibute to the hold which Allen, Lakin and O'Bien established ove the imaginations of the ancheste ish..

Let all genuine Nationalists take off thei liats to the men who held out fo nine weeks, not meely fo economic advantages to themselves, but pimaily because thei mates had been victimised. Ae these men woth winning fo the cause of ish ndependence, these men whose sense of solidaity with ihei fellow-wokes leads them to make ten times the sacifice many anti-patition league officials would eve make fo thei county? e do not hesitate to say: until these men ae not only within the anks of those fighting fo National Libeation, but in the foefont of them, then eland will emain as she is, a divided county composed of^ two vassel states. he Belfast stike is a lesson to Dublin. Hee also was a spiit of militancy and detemination which should be the envy and admiation of the county, but lacking was the essential, unity. n the vey citadel of mpeialist eaction all the unions, all the tades came togethe and stood out till victo}' was won. And it needed that nine weeks of it. hee wee no hesitations, no doubts as to whethe some genteel membes of the geneal public might appove of the stike and the ough methods the stikes wee using. hey went ight in and won. n the twenty-six county stikes thee was disunity. he militancy was thee. en went the length of Sligo to picket men with not much in thei bellies to do it on. n Cok and elsewhee blacklegs wee summaily dealt with on the basis that it is we o the othe fellows in a stike. But all this came to little fist because of the disunity in the tade union movement. Second, the stikes' moale was undemined the type of popaganda which is so pevalent in the twenty-six counties to-day, and which has as its object the discediting of the vey concept of woking-class independent action. You cannot have a stong united national movement with a weak and divided woking class. he split in the tade union movement has gone on long enough and is delibeately maintained long afte a compomise could have been eached, because the ight-wing leades ae thee excused fom putting up a stuggle in eithe the industial o the political field. he split was engineeed at the behest of the industialists so as to hamsting th woking class and make effective opposition to thei policy of eniching themselves at the expense of the nation's inteests an impossibility. And the esult? hile in 9 the woking class dew 45 pe cent, of the national income, now they daw about 30 pe cent. n agicultue the same poduction is tuned out hands constantly educed in numbes emigation. he ight-wing Labou Paty leades have fomed a coalition against thei membes' inteests, and sit in the Govenment, doing vey well, thank yoo. Such ae the fuits of disuhity. Belfast has shown the way in 95 as it showed t in 907. Few though the 3,000 stikes may have seemed in popotion to the population, they poved themselves united an iesistible foce, and a measue of what a united woking class, a united people, might do. Sometimes the way of those stuggling fo emancipation seems exceptionally dak. Such dakness has ovehung eland too long aleady. Even those admiably qualified to lead a movement in bette times stumble, fall the wayside, o est the oad. Hence the spunte-palies which excuse inaction, the ndividualistic commentatos each lit his own coign. Let those who doubt the futue taie one look, a shot one, at the Belfast stike, and men get to wok. t takes a long time to pieee togethe a movement split within a divided county. hee ae no wands o instumous of tansmogification. But the steady 'encouagement of the militancy of the woking people; the putting of thei inteests fist at all times: the encouagement of evey slightest tend pomising unity in action this helps powefully and must tell in time. he uniting and stengthening of the woking class will ncease tenfold the oppotunities fo a united nation. And let us take couage fom one thing: only thee yeas sepaated 93 fom 98. HE RSH DEOCRA Collaboation's ^ DPLOAC battle is being waged ove the body oi eland. Evey device of political deception, fom blatant demagogy to thinly veiled coecion has been called into sevice. he poposition that is being discussed is that of depiving eland of its poo vestiges of spuious independence, wenched no less bloodily fom apacious impeialism, and using he teitoy and esouces in a thid wold wa. Bitain is still inteested in eland as he best maket and as a food supplie. Bui now stategic consideations ae outweighing all else. eland is in the most unfotunate geogaphical position in the wold. She inteupts Bitain's view of Ameican and Ameica's view of Euope. A hostile eland would be a despeate menace to the impeialist wa plans. A fiendly o subsevient eland even if depopulated and deseted would be a temendous asset to them. he wa plans now being caied out at the behest of the ilitaists of all Steet demand as an essential condition, that eland should be bought in. But then comes the old familia question. hat il' the ish people don't want it? NHERE ae thee types of answe given J - the politicians. he fist and simplest is advocated the "ish imes" in tems of genteel admonition. Pofesso Hogan of Cok is an addict of it. Get into the Atlantic Pact, and ask no questions, is boadly what they say. he basis of this standpoint lies in the diect link-up between Bitish finance-capital and the big capitalist elements in eland. he new povincial Ascendancy is all but a eplica of the old (landed) ascendancy. hey do what thei mastes tell them. But politicians of expeience have moe subtlety. he Fine Gael Govenment (bedecked with Rathga Labou and Kingstown Republican, like ed-and-geen tissue pape ound a halfpenny bacon bone) fully appeciate the mass feeling against wa. hey emembe the mass movement against involvement in 939. hey ecall the unpomising esponse to thei 948 effots to populaise a "Holy a." hey appeciate that the only hope of getting eland at the sevice of thei mastes is to lead the people on slowly, thowing dust in thei eyes at evey step.. De Valea obligingly steps fowad to assist in the pocess. R. acbide is in ashington. s he thee fo his health? hat does ashington want of eland? CJjeap food fo its Bitish wa base? Bases fo bombes? Naval stations fo submaines? uch moe. he aim is the complete subodination of eland's economic, political and militay activities to the wold-political aims of mpeialism. t means the suende of the national teitoy fo the use of the mpeialists. How can the people be pesuaded to lease out thei teitoy fo such puposes? By means of the lie diect. he suende of the national teitoy must be epesented as if it wee the estoation of national teitoy. n effect. acbide the "epublican" who wecked the.r.a. expelling all the militants, "with ignominy" tells Bitain and Ameica, " can't get the ish people in, till you get you fellows out." Pofesso Hogan, appalled at the Govenment's intansigence n face of the "Communist menace," accuses the Govenment of selling when they Last Gamble ought to be giving. he Govenment on the othe hand ealises they cannot lace the ish people empty-handed. Redmond got his Home Rule Bill plus a Suspensoy Act. hat will acbide get?

F in etun fo the ending of the bode he entes the Atlantic pact, that will mean foeign toops all ove eland. eland would be united and nobody objects to that but she would be united as an occupied county. he Atlantic pact can be seen at wok in Bitain. Bitain is an occupied county. f anybody disbelieves let them ty to get a meal in Oxfod the waitesses in the cafes will ignoe him while they seve Ameicans. (t may do some of the DESOND GREAVES 3 snag is that the custome may pefe to deal with the moe conventional shopkeepe with the goods on the counte. But just as Document No. 2 was the means of holding back anti-teaty feeling, thus contibuting with evey lost day to the dange of a Civil a, so De Valea's typically dishonest aguments seve to confuse people who, like the majoity of Fianna Fail membes, ae genuine suppotes of national independence. U wa is the continuation of politics othe means. A policy of hostility to those whom Bitain and Ameica have one esult involvement in Bitain's wa. t one esult.involvement in Bitain's wa. t is impossible to stop half-way, and this Bitain and Ameica know. f the bode wee to be abolished and the county united even on the basjs of acbide's poposed bagain, no sane man would say, "tea it apat again." But it would be a sad day fo eland. She would be secuing a pat of he own at the expense of the whole. She would be buying one half of he patimony at the expense of the othe, he fomal ights in the six counties losing substantial ights in the thitytwo. Collaboation with mpeialish is the keynote of ish Govenmental policy since 922. t has assumed vaious foms in changing conditions. National efomism has cocked its snooks at the aged lion moe than once but "fo the ecod" athe than fo the fact. NCE this is ealised the cental task of ish pogessives becomes clea, the gadual cystallisation of anti-mpeialist, non-collaboationist foces aound the classconscious woking class on the pogamme of national independence the ight to enjoy one's own county in peace. he cystallisation of these foces demands the consistent exposue of collaboation in all its subtle foms. Big De Valeas have little De Valeas... and so ad infinitum. But it must be emembeed that wong ideas eside in the heats of fundamentally decent people. "He's a decent fellow" so often head should not lead to the abatement of' the ideological stuggle, but it may well lead to unity in action. ( OOD people may have bad ideas.

But actions do. f thee ae^j any actions which ae obviously valuable and useful to all of us, let us pefom them togethe ight away, and save all ou bones. You do not agee with my citicisms of De Valea?

Let us join foces, and make such a movement, and whoeve has the ight ideas will matte little so long «as we get what we want in pactice. A full belly can affod to be toleant. illingness to unite in action with othes is a test of seiousness of pupose, and fo this eason: he ish people united at', stong enough to defeat impeialism. hat lithe eason fo the vast inticate costly system of division and sub-division patition, sectaianism (a put-up job if eve thee was B Bitish people no ham to ealise what an intoleable thing it is not to be maste in you own home. But let us hope they get moving quickly). eland so fa has Bitish foces in the Noth plus a few Dutch and Ameicans. he "South" is still unde contol of the ish amy. Let us see it emains so. Evey action of the Govenment, the Nothen nationalist paty, and the leades of the Anti-Patition League is based on the policy of stiking a bagain. o thow dust in the people's eyes, the matte is put as if the aim is ending the bode, and going into the Atlantic pact might be a way of achieving that aim. n fact, the evese is tue. he aim is to get into the pact and potect the popety of the Anglo-ish ascendancy banks, (as a matte of inteest, how many Catholic bank diectos ae thee in eland?) and the ending of the bode is seen as a way into the pact. R. De Valea has a still moe subtle appoach, wothy of the autho of Document No. 2. his document, it will be emembeed, possessed the politically admiable Q u a l i t y ol being unacceptable to the Bitish (thus safeguading. De Valea's eputation) while not giving the Republicans a political basis to fight on. t was a ed heing the size of a shak.. De Valea today says that neutality is his policy because Patition emains. ould he bagain? No! Peish the thought! But "a fee eland might pobably have the same inducements to join as othe counties had." n othe wods, let acbide and company cay on with thei dity bagaining. His hands will be kept clean and pue. But povided he got the money fist, then of his own fee will and in no way as pat of a bagain, he would then' pobably be pepaed to delive the goods. f he is genuine why does he not say "Fianna Fail will lead a mass movement to ovethow the coalition athe than toleate its policy of dagging eland into wa?" hen Collins said "eaty," De Valea said "Document No. 2." hen dosgave said "Empie" De Valea said "extenal association.'' hen acbide says "Let's stike a bagain,". De Valea says, "No bagains. You do this of you own fee will, and without conditions, and then 'll do that of my own fee will, and without conditions." And that, of couse, is not a bagain. he only (Continued on Pag Fou, Column Onty ' O fom P A U L DUBLN L E E R ass oi the people ae not the mothes have no knowledge Of the fate HE leades of all paties ae committed to a policy of suppot fo Ameicansponsoed pepaations fo aggessive wa he campaign against the Dutch has dopped out of public sight, mutual consent of the Govenment, Fianna Fall and the Anti-Patition Association.

CHAEL O'RORDAN COLLABORAON CONNUED FRO PAGE HREE one; why, Cason and Devlin used to walk am in am ound the deck of the Belfast boat! i, the two tade union centes, the ival labou paties in the six counties... consciously o unconsciously the splittes do the wok of impeialism. VSON is the main obstacle to be ovecome. So let nobody who is opposed to unity, petend to lie a seious-minded fighte fo ish independence. Small splinte paties which have puified and epuified thei dogma til! they have discaded all living content and ae educed to a few catch-phases ae not going to tun into mass movements ovenight. ass movements involve people of diffeent ideas acting togethe, because the need fo action outweighs the need fo agumentation. You want examples? he Dungannon clubs. Count Plunkett's Convention of 97, and the Republican Congess wecked a small goup's senseless insistence on the immediate slogan of a "okes' Republic" when the majoity wanted a national, an "ish Republic." he Connolly Association began in 934 as the London Banch of the Republican Congess. hanks to the boadmindedness of the late. Joseph Fowle, of the Roge Casement Club, it was able to link up with the emnants of the ish Self-detemination League and Sinn Fein. he "ish Democat" came into existence because De Valea banned the Republican Congess newspape and "ish Font," the foeunne of the "Democat" was published the London Banch. Geat united campaigns wee conducted fo example fo the elease of Fank Ryan jailed Fanco and subsequently mudeed the Nazis. housands of signatues wee collected and monste meetings held. he united campaign compelled the Bitish and ish Govenments to offe lame explanations, but just as the 94 wa saved fom exposue the pomotes of the aconi swindle, so the 939 wa saved the accomplices of the mudees of Fank Ryan. HEN as now thee wee cleve people who advanced slick aguments against unity. hee wee umous ound the public houses that if you only waited a while the Govenment would do just what it wasn't doing. Unity to-day is a thousand times moe ugently needed. Let all the fiends of ish independence come tofethe in one movement to stay the hand of impeialism and expose iti henchmen. hen this theat is emoved we can fight about the fine points of policy. And emembe, if the going seems to be had at times, whateve s necessay will come if it is fought fo. KEEP UP! D he exhibition consisted of peiodicals, documents, photos, ballads, agitational and political handbills that told the stoy of the ealy stuggles fo tade unionism. hey also eflected clealy the extent of Connolly's political influence and ability in that fomative peiod; his positive Socialist viewpoint to the local, national and intenational issues and also the extent to which his Socialist method of appoach had continued afte his execution in the ish Labou and tade union movement. o the young tade unionist of the pesent geneation gowing up in an atmosphee of class colloation, the exhibition seved the pupose (unwittingly) of exposing the cant of the O'Rahillys showing in close visual fom the class chaacte of Connolly's teachings and pactice. N a displayed copy of the "okes Republic" (Febuay 903) thee appeas a ballad, showing to what degee the task he set himself in that peiod was a heatbeaking one the job of inculcating into the wokes the consciousness that they wee a sepaate class, distinct entiely fom the ish middle class and that the inteests of the wokes wee completely opposed to those of the capitalists, native and foeign, against whom they must oganise both industially and politically. he ballad "Song of the Elections" was occasioned the coupt electoal pactices of the unicipal elections of that yea (903>. He himself was the candidate of the ish Socialist Republican Paty in the election. he esult of the election was Fanagan, leading Dublin undetake and nominee of the United ish League was elected with 763 votes, Dodd (Home Rule) eceived 238 votes and Connolly was second with 243 votes. As the ballad tells the contest took place in an atmosphee of complete couption with the Dublin "publican" playing a pat as impotant as when in late days he helped to subsidise eaction in the talian elections of 948. would be a matte of conjectue as to whethe the talian De Gaspai and Saagats and the 'yankee' ashalls dew any lessons fom this wod election in Dublin's "Noth Citie" in 943. he ballad. heeunde, deseves to be epublished in full....

' y H E United States is using he immense industial stength not only to cone the makets of the wold and dominating othe capitalist counties to plant he militay bases and foces in positions fom which to wage aggessive wa against Koea, China and the U.S.S.R. but also to deluge the counties unde he contol with nauseating steams of Ameican "cultue." he pupose of this "cultual" offensive is to weaken the esistance of the people to futhe Ameican infingements of thei independence and to endeavou to cloak the selfish motives of United States policy. n ode to succeed this policy needs men of influence to assist in this deception of thei county. Such men can be ewaded with the pickings of the odd jobs povided the "cultual" activities of the United States E.C.A. Administation (ashall Plan) in Euope. hile the affinities between the peoples of the United States and eland have natually been vey close, the official United States Govenment has always acted on the side of Bitain against the movement fo ish feedom. One need only emembe the United States intevention against the Fenian advance into Canada, o pesident ilson's baing the use of the United States postal sevice to ish nationalist.oganisations, to confim this. he hostility to eland displayed the fome U.S. Ambassado in Dublin, Gay, is chaacteistic of the antiish outlook of Ameican uling cicles. Now that the United States is concened to secue eland as an atombombe base, accoding to the U.S. Geneal Badley, and though E.C.A. evey effot is being made to ende eland completely dependent in economic mattes, it is thei aim fistly that the past histoy of the attitude of U.S. Govenments shoud be hushed up; secondly that the t u t h about the Ameican way of life be obscued; thidly that the united States be depicted as a disinteested benefacto, unconcened with he own pofit, n these cicumstances cultual infiltation in eland is being intensified. " RELAND'S histoic subjection to mpeialism has esulted in the destuction of he Gaelic cultue, which now linges on only on the westen finge. Despite this fact, a national cultual enaissance in the English language, took place at the beginning of the twentieth centuy. Yeats, Synge, and O'Casey ae its geat names. t was a enaissance that went hand in hand with the antiimpeialist movement of the people. ith the geat betayal cultue tself suffeed a defeat, a n d to-day ish cultue is stagnant, awaiting the life-giving beath of th» mass movement that is to come that will bing unity and independence fo eland. Howeve, when a cultue is stagnant, it faces imminent dange of complete annlmilation. At the moment it s theatened the cultue of the United States Ameican tash in the fom of films, books and adio pogammes s daily degading the cultual standads of ou people and endeing impossible the independent life of any chaacteistic ish national cultue. At the moment a childen's at competition is being sponsoed in eland the E.C.A. which one feas will eplace the healthy taditions of the ish visual ats with the neuotics of Ameican decadence. he pedominant place occupied United States and Bitish inteests in the poduction and exhibition of films has hitheto blighted the bith of an independent film industy in eland. o-day E.C.A. is poducing a film in eland called "he Pomise of Baty O'Bien" on the subject of ual electification. he chief technicians ae lagely foeignes. One of the few ishmen is the autho Sean O'Faolain. Hee again one witnesses the eplacement of an independent ish ventue a United States sponsoed poduction. A U.S. nfomation Sevice is now asks Paul O'Higgins opeating in Dublin, whee cinemas ae now putting on U.S. popaganda shots supplied the nfomation Sevice. hese films ae chiefly attacks on "communism" and on the Koeans. such ish cultue NCREASNGLY thee is is becoming dependent as on United States mpeialism. aking the few liteay magazines that ae poduced in eland one finds that economically they ae lagely dependent on the United States maket. "Hibenia," a pious magazine published in Bay, Co. ickiow. notoious fo its anti-woking-class, Soviet-hate popaganda, has its pice maked on the cove as 6d. o 5 cents. Appeal to Ameican buyes Ls no doubt inceased the aticles on such subjects as ' h e Love-Education of Gils." "Envoy," a petentious liteay poduction, in addition to having a Canadian associate edito, and a content culled in pat fom decadents of Fance and esten Gemany, paying scant attention to eland's cultual poblems, has a wide ciculation in the United States and Bitain. (")NE cannot expect opposition to the ^ United States "cultual" oflenslve fom auch quates. Notice of the eappeaance of "he Bell" gave one hope that at last a vehicle would exist lo those who ae concened with the poblems of ish cultue, who deploe the cuent Ameicanlsation of eland, and who look fo the evival of democatic antlmpelallst feeling n eland. Afte five ssues one s fooed to the conclusion that "he Bell" Just cannot put a foot wong fom the Ameican point of view. How fa "he Bell" s dependent on the United States maket s mpossible to say, but the fact s that eae s taken to give the least poaslbie offence. the fist N Hollywood ssue the tial of ten film wites fo thei opinions was whitewashed oodow yatt,.p., who incidentauy is no fiend of nationalism. his aticle was pefaced a note fom the secetay of the ish "Association of Civil Libety," who excused the tial of non-political democats suggesting that "communism" was a "gave menace to the existence of an odeed society." Such "detachment" is emakable fom those concened with the pesevation of civil libety. n the same issue is an aticle on ' "Fank Ryan in G e m a n y " Fancis Stuat, lectue in a G e m a n Univesity unde Hitle, which seeks to emove all meaning fom Fank Ryan's life. So well it succeeds that one Dublin student magazine efeed to it ignoantly as "an aticle witten one ishman in Gemany about anothe." Peada ODonnell wites "... how happily cicumstanced we should be if anything like the full team of ish wites could make thei living at home. t would be inevitable n such cicumstances fo them to goup along special inteests, and almost inevitably that we should achieve a cicle of wites, who being themselves men of known othodoxy, would concen themselves with encoachments on feedom in the name of eligion zealots and feaks whose impatience with moe nomal people o moe woldly tansfoms them into dangeous bullies. Such cicles of wites in Dublin and Belfast would set up a cultual stimulus which would enich evey aspect of ish life." Hee then is the gist of the matte. You man, Peada, still known down the county as "he Communist," is now despeately anxious t h a t his othodoxy should be publicly ecognised, is no longe pepaed to defend feedom against impeialism, but esticts himself to attacks on fanatics, who would injue othodoxy thei fanaticism. Having in its fist issue denied Fank Ryan's Republicanism and whitewashed United States intenal policy, "he Bell" descends to its lowest in its last issue with an aticle on O'Faolain called "Autoantiameicanism." his cuious expession is a smokesceen which coves an attack on all who dae to doubt the disinteestedness of United States intefeence,in ish affais. hile one may accept without hesitation United States disinteestedness n ts employment of Sean O'Faolain in an «.C.A. film, no one can doubt Ameican motives in making money payments to the ish Govenment. His chief taget is the lette Louie Bennett tepinted in last month's "Democat") suggesting that acceptance of a United States Suvey of ish industial pospects, and of United States subsidies is likely to lead to involvement in United States stategic plans. O'F&oialn thinks these subsidies ae given to help aise the living standads of the people. An obliging statement an E C-A. official in eland efeing to a Joint E.G.A.

Howeve, it appeas that since that time cetain of the politicians of the United States ae advocating two wolds. hee is a possibility that this changed intenational attitude is based upon the potential offensive and defensive commitments of the Atlantic Pact and the signatoy nations theeto. t is being openly advocated that the esten wold set up the machiney of a United Nations, puged of those nations which do not subscibe to ou type of esten epesentative govenment.

Some wites 0 political science have defined politics as "the science of govenment.'' Politics is deived fom the Geek wod "Polites," which means citizen. Since fom its deivation the wod means citizen, would conside politics as the science of getting along with one's fellows. any wites on govenment have come to accept this moe logical definition of the wod.

And educing the wa theat, it was hoped that the nations might have maximum peiods of peace in ode to develop thei intenal pospeity. Now if the honest objective of those politicians who ae advocating two wolds, is to bing peace and pospeity to th people fo whom they ae acting and this should be the main objective of any decent govenment. wonde if this objective might be bette obtained though isolation o co-opeation with ou fellow nations, howeve much we may diffe upon occasion. One wite upon statecaft has said that wa is only an extension of diplomacy pojected on to the field of physical conflict. f this definition may be accepted, then it axiomatically follows as a coollay that the longe we co-opeate aound the diplomatic boad, howeve acimonious ou diffeences may become at times, the fathe and fathe into the futue ae being pushed the fonties of wa. which was the oiginal pupose fo ceating the United Nations. ^ O E of ou political thinkes ae of ^ the opinion that this isolation is follow such action? ould the hoizons of wa become lesse potential t h e a t s than they would be though co-opeation?

And in the final analysis, pogess can only be measued the spiitual, physical and economic well-being of the citizens of the nation. use the tem isolation, not as it h a s heetofoe been, used students of intenational diplomacy, but in the sense of isolation of the Atlantic Pact Nations fom othe signatoy nations of the United Nations Chate with whom we may diffe on mattes of political ideology.

Bevin and oison. hey waned that this Labou leadeship (as distinct fom ank-and-file Labou which was usually pogessive, though often misled and confused) would sell out ish feedom just as the Libeals did befoe them. Attlee and is a schola well able fo R.theHENN task he has set himself, but he passed between 96 and 923, was a theme which lingeed with Yeats to the end. Not unnatually, theefoe,. Henn puts a geat deal of emphasis on this backgound of life in the geat houses of the west of eland. his wold offeed secuity and peace to the poet at that time, although he was well awae that most of these houses wee built ove "the bones of a ebellion and two famines." Yeats saw the bitte paadox of eland and its challenge. He wote in 898 to A.E.... "But emembe always that you ae face to face with eland, its tagedy and its povety, and if you would expess eland you must know he to the heat in all he moods ' You will be a fa moe powe ful mystic and poet and teache because of this knowledge... absob eland and he tagedy, and you will be the poet of a people, the poet of a new insuection." hen the e b e l l i o n s 96 boke out, though Yeats and his fiends did not fight, he ecognised his esponsibility and expessed it... "Did that play of mine send out Cetain men the English shot, Could my spoken wod have checked hat whee a house lay wecked?" he ebellion and the civil wa hastened the change that was taking place in Yeat's poety. An enduing ange shapened his style and dispelled the twilit eland of his ealy wok. He saw the wa against England in noble and omantic tems, the delibeate, political act of bold and esolute men. + p H E shooting of the sixteen men, the hanging of Roge Casement, the dispesal and impisonment of the Republican leades eplaced fo Yeats the old mythology... <y "hen Pease auttmoned Cuchulaln to his side hat stalked though the Past Office? has an inteesting advantage n being an ishman, shaing the s a m e "ancestal memoy" as his subject. He comes fom Yeats' own county of Sligo, fom the Anglo-ish tadition of aistocatic culhee, whee the "teible beauty" was tue, that Yeats admied so much. he passing of that ascendancy wold, as it bon, the men and women fighting fo the Republic of eland took on the heoic qualities of the old Celtic heoes. Cuchulain, bound the belt to a pilla in his last fight, as in the statue in the post office, is the symbol of the geat heoism of the ish in defeat. Disillusion with politics, and the stong instincts of his own natue dove Yeats back into his lonely towe, to his ideal of poety that should be itself "distinguished and lonely." He developed his doctine of the ask. AR- HENN emphasises that a eal un^ destanding of Yeats' poety depends upon a ealisation of this theoy of the ask, and some sympathy with it. Yeats was vey conscious of the dual natue of his pesonality. He called his two opposing sides "self" and "anti-self," and said "out of the quael with ouselves we make poety." o peseve this poetic pesonality intact, he believed that he should assume a second self, a publle pesonality won when the occasion demanded, like a mask. He was schola, statesman, sage, had iding county gentleman all in tun. He woe the costume, spoke the language, assumed the ask, and though this delibeate outwad nconsistency, Yeats sought his own unity and tuth. n othe studies in this book. Henn shows how much of the visual symbolism in Yeats' poety can be explained a study of the at galleies he liked to visit; he deals with his geat inteest in myth and magic, and many othe aspects which help to illuminate some of the moe obscue efeences. Yeats may not have been the "poet of a people" the lonely towe claimed him fo its own at the end, but at a geat moment in eland's histoy he was thee to make the occasion geate...

Bing makes his ovewhelming case against the oies, but when it comes to suggesting what can be done to get id of them his policy is vague and woolly. Summaised, his policy seems to be as follows: () An appeal should be made to the Bitish oies, asking them to pove thei democatic pinciples dissociating themselves fom the actions of thei opposite numbes acoss the Channel. (2) Eie should be made iche economically so as to appeal moe stongly to the citizens of the Noth. (3) Religious leades in Bitain, a joint body of Labou and oies, the Bitish Govenment, o failing these "a goup of independent and distinguished pesons" should hold potest confeences o appoach the Nothen eland Govenment asking them to abolish sectaianism, estoe local democacy, have fee elections, put an end to the Special Powes, and so foth.
