National felf-defense, in its most im
portau? feature. Includes, the powerb and
the means of nreventlinr ac;rc'hf.ion. In
all our troubles with other nations, which
hac been very few, we have neer
been the aggrebsor, and, In war with trans
Atlautic powers. Great Britain has been
our sole antagonist. 1 find nothing in our
hihtory or in any suppo-ed change in British
policy to indicate that we will interfere
with her just rights, or that she will
ceate to interfere with oun.
Her policv of HggresMon upon other na
tions is more pronounced now than it
ever was l;rore, and until that is changed
1 am not willing to bind our government,
in advance, that, if fehe again chooses,
unjustly, to renew or continue her inter
ference with our rights, we shall stand
pledged in solemn treaties to lay aside
the power to prevent the wrong, and con
sent to settle the dispute by a lawsuit.
While Urpat Britain is launching war
ships at the rate of one in each mouth, and
Is conducting great wars in Africa and
Asia, it Is not an urgent necessity, at
leat, that wehhouid, ij tieuty, deny our
belves the right of self defense, to be
exerted by every means that she employs
in unceaMng aggressions.
I prefer to trust the sincere respect of
Great Britain for oar full-armed national
power than her frle idly forbearance when
we have stripped ourselves of all actual
powers or self defense.
"With a hearty welcome to MleB Gonne
and a hearty Mod ipeod for her mission, I

j Tiie occasion was in every sense a per-
cnnnl f rli,,t-i,tli i.i. 1, !
sonnl trimnph for her.
"My friends told me I was not coming
to a strnnge country,' she said, "and this
has proven -wonderfully true. I find the
Americans everywhere our friends. I have
been very successful. It is because I came
to speak In the name of our great mother
land of Ireland, of her hopes Tor liberty,
of iter oppression.
"There 4s nothing more wonderful than
the Irishman's devotion to his country.
Driven from home he never forgets his
sad mother land. In spite of her sor
rows and her poverty we love Ireland more
than men love the greater empires of the
world.
"But you need not fear that this love
for Ireland will make Irish-Americans less
devoted to America. The more we love
Ireland the better citizens -ne are of our
adopted countries.
"Multitudes of our race have helped to
build up the magnificence of America."
Miss Uonnc alluded to the English asser
tion that England has furnished America
with the principal part of our popula
tion. She said that statistics prove that this
is not true. She read from the letter of
J. D. O'Conncll published a short time
ago in answer to an artido by President
Eliot, of Harvard University, which con
tains figures to show that 70 per cent of
the Immigrants from England are Irish
men Irishmen have learned to hate and to
(Hstruft England." stoe said. "It was

oppose the idea of arbitration. It Is not
arbitration that England wants. She
wants no guarantee of peace, but to be
able to make war without your inter
ference. She Is inconstant fear of trouble
in Lurope. She would lose control of the
Suez Canal if she were to fight in Europe,
and hhe would need a free American route
to India. She Imports SO per cent of
her food supply, nnd half of her food
comes from America. She wishes to
preAent the possibility of privateers de
stroying her commerce If war comes, as
her privateers destroyed your commerce
once. She wishes to be able to go to
leussia, France and Gormany and tell
them that the great republic of America
is behind her. She wants you to back
her up in her old world tyranny and op
pression. "The hypocrisy of this moemeut is so
glaring that you will not fail to tec It.
Everywhere England has been aggressive.
During the last sixty years of Victoria's
reign there have been thirty-four English
wars. They have all been with weak peo
ples. She will not fight strong nations.
""Why does not England arbitrate the
Irish question? She does not really be
lieve In arbitration. She neer will ex
cept to help herlf to somebody's hurt.
One of her own statesmen said not long
ago In derision: We English are a domi
nant people. It Is preposterous to talk
to us of arbitration.'
"Today England has agents in this coun
try preaching this doctrine. They coute in

Ireland for liberty In 1T0P, Miss Gonne
said that, while she did not win, the
ideal or liberty was put into the hearts
of her people, aud that It is as strong
now as then.
"Despite the weary degradation of these
last dreadful years, the youth and man
hood of our country is still determined to
be free. This year England celebrated
sixty years otsuccessful murder and rapine.
Next year we will celebrate a noble strug
gle for liberty.
"Our population in Ireland has been
reduced by one-halt in these sixty years.
England has decreed that Irishmen shall
not" live in the land that God gave them.
The periodic famines which accompany her
rule everywhere and the flight of our
people fiom their own shores has deci
mated us. If the rule of England con
tinued fifty years longer, there will be
none of us left."
Miss Gonne recited at length the tragic
story of England's ciuelty in Ireland.
"And all these horrors go on in times
of peace," she said. "To you sho preaches
the union of hearts I
"Our remedv must be the same as yours.
Kearly cery word of your Declaration of
Independence might be recited by us."
Miss Gonne spoke of the "splendid iso
lation" of England nnd prophesied that the
jubilee might prove to be the pinnacle
of her success. She said that England la
circulating everywhere the falsehood that
Ireland is happy and contented, but that
the world does not believe it.
