Hees contains the Ii The Picton ers regarding the Irish lowing lett question: Prof. O. D. Skelton, Queen's Univer- sity, Kingston: Dear Sir,--Pardon me for writing you. I'm one of the old graduates of Queen's--1873. I would be ever- lastingly grateful to you if you would please tell us in the next num- ber of Queen's Quarterly, What Are Ireland's Grievances? Ip the cur- rent number of the Quarterly, at the foot of page 206, you say: "The only lasting solution is on the basis of full and free equality." Yes: What are their grievances? Scores like me want to know. They've got what neither Scotland nor Wales has; (see speech of Lloyd George given over or about a year ago.) And how is it that there is no discontent in either of those sections of the United King- dom? Please do give us light on those "grievances." Yours truly, P. C. Macnee, Kingston, 15th Dec., 1921 P. C. Macnee, Esq., barrister, Picton, Ontario: My dear Mr. Macnee,--I am very 'glad indeed to hear from a Queen's graduate of such standing as your- self, I not your suggestion to devote some place in the next number of the Queen's Quarterly to the ques- tion of "What Are Ireland's Griev- ances?" As the Quarterly will not appear for some time, and as the whole Irish situation is changing rapidly from day to day, I shall write you direct on the matter, As I understand your position, you | doubt whether Ireland has any griev- | ances in the way of mis-government, and, assuming that she has not, you {do not see any reason why she | should receive any different treat- ment from that given Scotland and Wales, I think I would agree with youn |distinct Irish nationality.

Why then, one might ask, if Ireland had a fairly good government, did it compiain? Simp!y because in the first place such measures of good government as did exist, had, in large part, been brought about by Irish agitation, and in the second place, good government can never | take the place of self government 1! suppose there is no doubt that Ger- {many would have governed Belgium as well as the Belgians, and that she did govern Poland immensely better than the Poles will do for a good | | many years. ° Yet neither Belgium nor Poland was content. They want- ed to govern themselves. This is first and foremost what Ireland, 1 | mean the overwhelming mass of the people of Ireland, demands. Why should the "'self" in the case of Ireland not be as wide as in the case of Scotland? Why is it that | Scotland has found content in the Union, while Ireland has demanded | to be released from it? I should say | without question, it is so because | England would have it so. Had Eng- land shown any measure of foresight or of tolerance in her relations to Ireland, in e er days, she would not be reaping the harvest she has reaped these late years. That is not |the only case why there is today a One fun- damental reason for the different at- titudes of Ireland and of Scotland lies in the fact that Ireland is separ- ated from England by the sea, and Scotland is not. Out of this rises | the further fact that the cleavage in | religious and social relations was | {naturally greater between the two Islands, than between the northern Parl of the been GLASSES Keeley Jr., M.0.D.0.
