Irish propagandists and interfering sympathizers have so long--carried on their operations in America that it would appear as if, after all, the term "Greater Ireland" were justly applicable to this country. Both the American and British governments have so far been surprisingly tolerant towards those groups of persons who have yet to learn that there is a great difference between friendly sympathy and organized campaigning. But that patience is slowly but surely becoming exhausted; neither the British nor the Americans can be expected to remain passive much longer...
There are two cases in point. The first concerns the actions of De Valera, the second the attitude of the self-appointed investigating "Committee of One Hundred." When the so-ca led President of the "Republic of Ireland' first came to America it was with the announced intention of doing no more than attempting to enlist the friendship and support of Irish sympathizers in this country, and to formulate a public opinion which would be favorable to Irish freedom.

...citizens of this country may or may not be in sympathy with the Irish. But this much is sure: they will not for one minute endure the transplanting of mob violence and revolutionary tactics from Ireland to America. The Union Club was within its absolute legal and moral rights in hanging out the French, English and American flags; yet the Irish, who are fighting for rights of their own, would subordinate American privileges to their own impulsive whims. No, if the Sinn Fein is to succeed in enlisting the support of our citizens it must prove in a more orderly...
