AN UNTOWARD LEGACY.
It is a coincidence that Sheehy
Skeffington in a recent number ot j
the Century should have questioned j
the right of Asquith and the Brit-,
i3h government to claim the title ot!
champion of the smaller na
tionalities and in rebuta! of such a
claim he forcibly enough instanced
Ireland.
Now Skefllngtcn is r.o more, liter
ally done to death without authority
and with more than the savagery ot
war’s atrocity. His life, and his end
ing above all, is proof sufficient of
his case.
Yet Skiffington might have known
that from time to time British kings
have laid claim to titles which none
but themselves could respect. Henry
the Eighth, wife and man murderer
rejoiced in the title of Defender ot
the Faith and all the bunch of
sovereigns who have graced or dis
graced the throne of England since
that time cheerfully assumed the
title.
Tine wonderful fact is that the
smaller nationality that Great Bri
tain now or at any time champions
has been the other fellow’s annexa
tion. The sympathy that went out
for Russian Poland when Russia
was a bear that walked like a man
and before it h»s taken its place as
the regenerate}!- of later day civiliza
tion in alliance with other plutocra
tic defenders of democracy and li
berty, was wonderful, and the poets
from Tom Campbell who told us that
Freedom shrieked when Kociusko
fell, down to the queen's poet Ten
nyson. all of them shed tears copious
enough to float a drcadnauglit over
the servitude that was foreign anu
long distance. The eloquence of a
Gladstone, of a Forster of a Brigm
and sundry and several other up
lifting leaders of liberal whiggery
found expression for no subject more
pleasurable than a denunciation of
the enslavement of other peoples
than their own.
And right across the water stood
Erin with a tear and a smile in her
eye, a forgotten small nationality,
but with a national and radical in
stinct as keen as, and far more in
domitable and unconquerable than
any other in the world.
Just at the same time that Glad
stone was weeping for the fate ot
Macedonia and denouncing the Bashi
Bazouks, he was fashioning within
his political shops an Algerian coer
cion act for Ireland, and we dont
know of any man could be more
unctuous in his denunciation of for
eign tyranny and more unaware of
domestic tyranny than the same
statesman.
This recent revolt in Ireland was
hopelessly ill-timed and foolish and
suicidal. We dont doubt for a mi
nute that even its success would
have very little changed the status
of the people economically speaking.
No purely national revolt will. But
what is interesting about it is that
Great Britain and her statesmen
im to have forgotten all about
harsh things they said of the ;
Gorwa ns ln Belgium or In Poland, -
and/ ear ry on with same gross and i
lawless ±'lnd merciless hand them- ]
selves in 1.-eland.
It takes a Bbcral government to ;
be really iUlbe. ”al *n Bs l1-'3*1 poli-i <
/■iqs. Nothing eOi’'d have been more|V
stupid than the polish executions ,
that have been carrK’d on. Every c
execution is a legacy °f hate for g
future generations of Englishmen. ]
that time will have trouble enough e
in wearing away. Much wiser and I
much saner was the lenient policy t
adopted towards the South African t
rebels, but may be there was a rea l;
son. South Africa was not prepared a
to stand for harshnos., and discre- s
tlon tempered the severity of the t
punishment would otliorwise have J n
br-ou inflicted upon the members ot , t
other small nationalities that owe j n
their extinction to the modern chain- [
pion of such political divisions. I
Moreover the severity that was
marked in Ireland is subject to a
suspicion that it is meant to encour
age others. That, in fine, England
and Scotland and Ireland are in a
ferment with economic revolt.
Strikes, anti-war meetings and other
acts which have in roundabout ways
escaped the censor, suggest that the
Prime Minister feels that desperate
economic diseases require desperate
political remedies and while he
might be reluctant to try them upon
the English or the Scotch, the Irish
revolt gave him a handy opportunity
to try them upon the Irish. Now It
is safe to point out that measures
of this bind, severe and gross anc
excessive, have never at any time
resulted as it was intended they
should result. On the contrary,
they over-did themselves aimost in
variably and the desperate remedies
only made worse the desperate
disease that threatened the body po
litic.
It is not going to have any such
thing as a deterrent effect upon tlr
revolutionary radicalism that is
spreading in England, Wales and
Scotland. But it is going to be a
warning to them that no opportunity
can be allowed those who now con
trol, to ever obtain such a positioi:
as they now hold over the Irish. It
is going to sow seeds of rancor and
bitterness and hate in Irishmen who
have heretofore been loyal enough;
it is going to unnerve the hands ot
thousands of Irish soldiers who are
now on the front. It is going to
weld in the United States a tremend
ously powerful pro-German senti
ment that heretofore had not ob
tained. As a terrible example it has
been a lamentable failure: a fine dis
play of ill-judged severity, when le
niency and good sense were inter
changeable terms.
it invariably takes a liberal gov
ernment and an up-lifting Minister
speaking in terms of grandiloquence
and lofty motive, to do the wrong
thing always as far as Ireland is con
cerned.
Still it will not abash Asquitn
He would not be premier of a party
of Pecksniffs if it did. And when
the type is growing obscure as to
the news of these executions, he will
reel off another yarn about his cham
pionship of liberty, democracy and
small nationalities.
No good is got from excluding
the facts of the Irish national aspira
tions on the part of British states
manship. Four-fifths of the mis
takes made in the administration of
Irish affairs has been due to this
stupid policy.
It is a self evident proposition
that the executions which have been
lately carried out in Dublin and else
where will not make the relations
between the two countries any more
endurable. Quite the contrary.
It is fairly reasonable of course
;hat Great Britain facing many ene
nlps would have insisted upon pun
shing the leaders with some sever
ty; but the case would have been
net just as well by Imprisonment
'low every man who has been slain
vill be regarded as a martyr whose
nemory is a legacy of hate in Ire
and against all things British.
The revolt in Ireland was foolish
nd vain and untimely. But the
xecutions exceed It in folly and
anity and untimolinoss. This was
o time for such excessive severity,
n the contrary after it had been
oppressed, then was the time for a
ractical leniency which instead of
xciting still further the people of
reland and Irish people in any sec
on of the globe against Great Ilrl
lin, would rather have made the re
itious of the two countries more
micable and helped at least to
lengthen the bond between the
wo. And that was sorely needed,
ow above all times. As a failure
le Asquith administration has been
lonumental.
