Sinn Fein refuses to rebel. It has organised ~ itself as a national government, but it will not rebel. Though there have been some deplorable political outrages thev have not been the work of Sinn Fein, and even to-dav when the right of the English Government to rule is categorically denied, Ireland is still freer from crime than any other part of the British Isles. The temptation to acts of violence has been tremendous; the response has been insignificant; and of violence directed by the Sinn Femers there has been none."—G. K. Chesterton.
