Why your boys and girls are taught in their school-books to hate
us.

In places they are. Now that I know the English a little I have
been agitating to revisit them. It all seems so damned cheap and
petty for a big country to belittle a great nation through the

There's no hatred like family hatred. After all we're cousins,
speaking the same tongue and with pretty much the same outlook.

There's one race in America that holds back as strongly as it can
any better understanding between the two countries, and that's
my race--the Irish. And well I know it. I was brought up on it.
There are men to-day, men of position too, in our big cities who
have openly said they want to see England crushed in this war.

DARTREY

So I've heard. It would be a sorry day for the rest of civilization,
and particularly America, if we were.
