Mr. George L. Fox, an American publicist, whose ancestors of British Puritan stock, went to New England in 1639, spent his summer holt day in a visit to Great Britain tell the British people what "the real America" thinks of what he terms "the ignorant and arrogant Sinn Fein campaign in the United States." As a loyal and selfspecting American Mr. Fox is concerned lest the British people should think that the people of his country are as a whole in sympathy with the insolence and the nonsense of that campaign.
"(As a teacher and writer by ptofession," Mr. Fox explained to a "Morning Post" representative, have made a life study of English history and English public institu tions. That study has compelled me to the view that, for the past half century at any' rate, Great Britain has played fair in domestic and foreign politics to a more conspicuous degree than any other nation in the world. Tt has compelled me also to answer from time to time in my own country the lies of the Sinn Fein propagandists. Now it has prompted me to this visit to explain to the British people what is at the back of Sinn Fein in the United States."

"The strongest element in support of Sinn Feinism in the U.S.A. is the Roman Catholic Hierarchy. Without that it would never keep up its strength. There have been, there are, some noble exceptions, but it is a fact that most of the leading R.C. clerics give their countenance to a movement which otherwise attracts only the lowest elements of the American-Irish population. I should like to mention one of the exceptions. Father Kelly, of Albany, N.Y., who went out as chaplain" with the 76th Division of the American Army to France, has since his return given frank testimony to the esteem and admiration which the British soldier won from him and from the Irish-American soldiers of his Division. Generally speaking, the R.C. Hierarchy in the U.S.A. is the bulwark of the Sinn Fein movement, which, by its sinister tactics in manipulation of the worst political elements in our national life, puts my country in the position before the world of interfering in your affairs, and interfering in the worst of causes.
