Excerpt from The Irish Question The committee met at 10 o'clock a. m., Hon. Henry D. Flood (chairman) presiding. The Chairman. The committee has met this morning for the purpose of considering House joint resolution 357, introduced by Mr. Gallagher, of Illinois, and other resolutions which have been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs relative to the Irish question. I understand there are quite a number of ladies and gentlemen here from different points in the country who want to be heard on the resolutions, and I will be glad if some gentleman who represents some of these committees or delegations would indicate whether he knows how many there are to be heard, so we can arrange to apportion the time. The committee decided to give four hours to hearing various persons on these resolutions. We would like to apportion the time in a manner agreeable to those who have come to be heard. In addition to the visiting delegates there are a number of Members of Congress, who have introduced resolutions of a similar import, who would probably like to be heard on their particular resolutions. Statement Of Hon. Thomas Gallagher, A Representative In Congress From The State Of Illinois. Mr. Gallagher. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, House joint resolution 357 is simply an amended resolution which was introduced by me in the House about two years ago, requesting the commissioners at the Peace Conference to take up the question of Irish freedom and self-determination. As a result of the introduction of that resolution quite an agitation has gone over the country urging legislative action upon the resolution. A great convention was held in New York City last spring, with delegates present from every section of the United States. They sent a committee here in August - the Mothers Mission, representing the tens of thousands of Irish-American mothers who had sons in the American Army - to present to Congress a petition signed by some 600,000 American citizens asking for action on that resolution. I presented the petition to Congress, and it was referred to your committee. Since that time I have introduced House joint resolution 357, which is the original resolution amended to meet present conditions, and I want to thank the committee for giving us a hearing on it. We have large delegations from different sections of the United States here this morning. They have come long distances, and have been unable to get together and formulate the program.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Speaker's Hand-Book on the Irish Question The first two editions having been sold out, it has been thought advisable to issue a third edition at a cheaper price, so as to bring this Hand-book within the reach of politicians of every class. Opportunity has also been taken to add certain passages where the arguments appeared ih complete, and to bring the great Irish controversy in its varying phases down to the most recent date. It is hoped that the book in its present shape will supply all that is needful to rebut the numerous fallacies employed by speakers on the Home Rule side.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Irish Question: Its Essence, Course, Solution, and the Issues It Involves for Ireland and for England Sir, In common with many thousands of Her Majesty's subjects I have read your extraordinary letter addressed to Lord De Vesci, inviting "free communication of views from the various sections most likely to supply full and authentic knowledge of the wants and wishes of the Irish people"; - and in common with some hundreds of them I have undertaken to comply with your request. A most astounding request it is. In the first place, it seems to imply an abdication on your part of the elementary functions of statesmanship. The business of a steersman is - to steer, - of a responsible politician - to devise and carry out a policy. Again, I should have thought that the proper, the constitutional source of "full and authentic knowledge of the wants and wishes of the Irish people" would have been the hundred-and-odd representatives of the Irish constituencies "duly" elected a few weeks ago to serve in the Commons' House of Parliament, and elected on a plan designed and arranged by yourself. But once more, the passage I have quoted contains an ambiguity from which few of your public utterances on the Irish Question are wholly free. The ambiguity lies in the term "Irish people." What do you mean by the "Irish people"? Again, when you have got this knowledge, "What will you do with it?" How will you test it? What would you do, suppose the weight of evidence furnished by these "various sections" should lead you to make proposals (when you come one of these days to "settle" the Irish Difficulty) that would not commend themselves to a majority of the Irish members?
