Description

Typescript letter signed E.J. McCarthy of the Chinese Mission Society, St. Columban's Mission House, Omaha, (Nebraska, U.S.A.), to Hagan, enclosing a draft over Lire 1,988 for eighty masses; to be given to his friends in Rome. Offering some comments on Dr. Mannix's visit to Rome; asking for news about it; doubting he will return to Australia without a protest. While there is an in- crease of public sentiment towards Ireland in America, it is hard to know whether the government and the powerful financiers that actually run the country, will be pushed to do anything. 'It strikes me that America may not be as far away from a Bolshevik regime as people think. England brought in her own propagandists like Philip Gibbs and G.K. Chesterton, but Lord Mayor O'Callaghan has not yet been deported and Miss McSweeney made a fine impression all over the country, as did Lansing's book on the League of Nations. Sending him a copy of Archbishop Mannix's speeches.
