Description
[post-August 1916] Copy typescript fragments of a [draft article] in ten numbered paragraphs by [...]. Single sketches illustrating the political situation in Ireland, touching on the Home Rule Bill not passed in 1913; forced recruitments of Irishmen into the war; a trial held in August 1916 following public outcries against evident abuse; General Maxwell's patently biased report published in July (mentioning the unpublished letter of a Dublin ecclesiastic sent to The Nation, London); the difficulty of the Bishop of Cork in the face of insurrection spreading and an untrustworthy military; the three main reasons for the English government to hold the Irish hierarchy partly responsible for events; the irony of Britain's criticism of Germany of violation of a treaty- reminding of England's tearing up a similar paper promised to Ireland.
