The following sentence is from a letter written by an American sailor: "I have read...

'The Ancient Grudge' and I wish it could be read by every man on our big ship as I know it would change a lot of their attitude toward England.

I have argued with lots of them and have shown some of them where they are wrong but the Catholics and descendants of Ireland have a different argument and as my education isn't very great, I know very little about what England did to the Catholics in Ireland." Ireland I shall discuss later.

Ireland is no more our business to-day than the South was England's business in 1861.

That the Irish question should defeat an understanding between ourselves and England would be, to quote what a gentleman who is at once a loyal Catholic and a loyal member of the British Government said to me, "wrecking the ship for a ha'pennyworth of tar." The following is selected from the nays, and was written by a business man.
