REVIVAL OF IRISH INDUSTRIES
A Dublin despatch to the American press tells of the revival of Irish industries which had once flourished in certain sections. Wexford is producing cooking ware equal to the best French makes and drain pipes of as good quality as the English manufacture. The clay deposits are excellent for this industry. Another news item states that Ireland sends more food to Great Britain than she keeps for home use. According to the report of the Irish Department of Agriculture, before the war Ireland exported more food to England than any other country except the United States. It would seem that the little island is far from being a dependent on the charity of the Empire— impression that some writers have left in the minds' of readers. If the Land Act has enabled the people to do so much, what would they not accomplish with Home Rule?
