| In a public statement, Cardinal Logue Isaid that the boundary question was so i Korious that a peasant could not cross without risking his life. Even schoolboys and ; schoolgirls were carrying^ revolvers. • "I •wish to the Lord," he said, "that a few ; strong men would go about carrying ; birch rods and g-et at these people ■who are holding up their countrymen - with revolvers. I heard of one case of a miscreant of twelve years old. If the parents and priests do not look out, we ■will have a generation of young footpads growing up in Ireland. This will be ■worse than the massacres in Belfast, which may kill the Body, but cannot 'kill the soul."
