[The Crime Against Europe by Roger Casement]@TWC D-Link bookThe Crime Against Europe CHAPTER IX 13/17
They will not pay their hotel bills. Their day is not yet but it is at hand.
"Home Rule" assemblies and Indian "Legislative Councils" may prolong the darkness; but the dawn is in die sky.
And in the downfall of the Tudor Empire, both Ireland and India shall escape from the destruction and join again the free civilizations of the earth. The birds of the forest are on the wing. It is an Empire in these straights that turns to America, through Ireland, to save it.
And the price it offers is--war with Germany. France may serve for a time, but France like Germany, is in Europe, and in the end it is all Europe and not only Germany England assails. Permanent confinement of the white races, as distinct from the Anglo-Saxon variety, can only be achieved by the active support and close alliance of the American people.
These people are to-day, unhappily republicans and free men, and have no ill-will for Germany and a positive distaste for imperialism.
