Secret Arming
THE BUGBEAR OF IRELAND BISHOP’S OUTSPOKEN VIEW (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) Received Alav 3, 5.56 p.m. LONDON, Alay 2. Bishop O’Doherty, speaking at Galway, declared that the Republican Army was creating gangsters similar to those of Chicago. Saor eire was applying Bolshevik methods to the salvation of Ireland. He warned his hearers that they were committing a grievous sin if they belonged to the Republican Army, which could proclaim a Republic at an election if it wanted it. The hugger mugger of secretly armed gunmen was iniquitous, because arms were employed for intimidation, private vengeance, and armed robbery. Was it patriotism to kill poor women in the debris of their own house and injure little boys playing in the streets?
