AColleague'sTributetoJohnRedmond

'1hesixthanniversaryofthedeath ofMr.JohnRedmond,theIrishleader, wascommemoratedinhisnativetown ofWexfordbyoneofthegreatestdemonstrationseverheldthere.

Thirteenspecialtrainswererequiredtoconveythevisitors,anditisestimatedthatthenumberwhotravelled inthismannerwas10,000,whilstat least25,000peoplevisitedWexfordfor theoccasion.

Mr.JohnDillon,Mr.JosephDevlin, andCapt-W.A.Redmond,T.D.,were enthusiasticallycheeredbythegreat crowdsduringthecourseoftheday's proceedings.

Afeatureofthecelebrationwasthe eloquenttributeofMr.JohnDillonto thedeadIrishleader

"IllustriousLeader"

Theywereassembled,saidMr.Dillon,tohonourthememoryofagreat Irishman-toplaceonrecordthegratitudewhichtheyfelttobeduefora lifeofsplendidservicetotheIrish people.Sixyearshadpassedsince theylaidJohnRedmondtorestinthe gravetheyallsalutedthatday-six tragicyearsduringwhichIrelandhad passedthroughsomeoftheblackest experiencesinallherhistory;and thousandsofpeoplewhoin1918were inclinedtofindfaultwithMr.Redmond'spolicywerenowaskingthemselveswhathadbeengainedbyallthe bloodshed,ruin,anddemoralisationof thoseyears.

To-dayIrelandwaspartitioned.The NationalistsoftheSixCountieswere handedover-tothetendermerciesof anOrangeParliament,and,whatwas fromsomepointsofviewevenworse, "Southern"Irelandwasmorebitterly dividedthaniteverhadbeeninhis memory.

Hewassufficientlyold-fashionedand uncivilisedtoprefertheoldmethods, badastheywere.

Continuing.Mr.DillonsaidMr.RedmondhadledthePartywithconsummateParliamentaryskill,provinghimselftobetheequal,and,indeed,he thought,thesuperiorofthebeststatesmanGreatBritaincouldproduce. "VictorytoVictory."

Itwasadmittedthatthroughout 1:.ose18yearsallthemeananddirty criticismofMr.Redmondcamefrom hisowncountrymen,notanewexperienceforIrishleaders.Facedthen withtheenormousandquiteexceptionaldifficulties,heledhisPartyin theteethofenormousdifficultiesfrom victorytovictoryuptotheculminatingtriumphofthedestructionofthe vetooftheHouseofLords,andthe passingoftheActof1914intolawanActwhich,hehadalwaysmaintained,offeredIrelandabettersettlement thanthatwonbytheTreatyatsuch aterrificcost. WhenMr.Redmondwaselected leaderin1900,IrelandwasstillovertaxedandpaidatributetoGreatBritain.WhentheActof1914waspassedIrelandwasgettingbackmorethan shepaidintaxes.andGreatBritain forthenuttime.ssincetheUnionwas payingoveramillionayearintribute toIreland.

How.then,couldanymansaythat theleadershipofMr.Redmondwasa failure?

"Trueitisthat,"saidMr.Dillon, "afterMr.Redmond'sdeathalargesectionofhiscountrymen,undertheguidanceofnewleaders,repudiatedhispoiicyandrejectedthesettlementhehad wonforthem.

"Nothingwouldsatisfythembuta free,independentRepublicandtotal separationfromtheBritishEmpire. Thecountryisslowlycomingtorea lisewhatthisnewdeparturehasled to.Itcertainlyhasnotledtoafree Republicortotalseparation--nor,as farasIcansee,isitlikelytodoso."

Mr.Redmondusedtobeattacked asbeingtoomuchofanImperialist. butsofarashecouldsee,continued Mr.Dillon,hisImperialismwasfaint comparedwiththeImperialismofthe menwhowereatpresentincontrol.

SomefoolishpeoplethoughtthatbecausetheActof1914hadbeenrepealed,Mr.Redmond'slife-workwasafailtire.ButwithoutthatActthere wouldhavebeennoTruce,andno Treaty,but'onlyarepetitionona farbloodierscaleoftheresultsofall previousIrishrebellions.

Itwasfalsethentosaythatthe life-workofJohnRedmondwasafailure,andheventuredtophnhesyfrom thatplatformthatinthehappierdays whichhetrustedwereinstorefor'Ireland,longafterthenamesofhis criticsandbelittlershadbeenforgotten,JohnRedmondwouldberemelts beredandhonouredasoneofthemost illustriousofthemenwhohadledthe Irishracethroughthedesertoftheir wanderings,andasthemanwholed themtothesatesofthePromised Land.
