...rebellion are to be found in the U. S., where a great many of the Catholic clergy are of Irish origin. In Manhattan last month, I.R.A. clubs joined other Irish groups in a "monster commemoration" of Ireland's Easter Week Rebellion of 1916. As noted by the Brooklyn Tablet (Catholic), the meeting's agenda included a vote in "support of the present campaign of the I.R.A. in England." None at the meeting feared excommunication...

It was a Hitler gesture." In the issue before that, Editor Scanlan had printed the evidence for his extraordinary belief-a speech by Thurman Arnold in which that able lawyer, using imagery drawn from his widely-quoted book. The Folklore of Capitalism, had said...
