TheNewIreland

ATalkWithCountPlunkett. CountPlunkett,whowasreleased fromprisonrecently,andwhowasthe firstoftheRepublicanleaderstogain liberty,outlinedtoacorrespondentthe i IrishRepublicanpolicy.Theinterview,comingfromsuchaleaderas CountPlunkett,makesinteresting reading:

"TheIrishrepresentativeswhowere recentlyelectedintheParliamentary franchise."hebegan,"arereallyrepresentativesoftheIrishpeople,foralthoughtheyusedthemachineryofthe newGovernment,theyhadtheapprobationofamuchwiderelectorate,for theSinnFeinmovementstandsfor manhoodandwomanhoodsuffrage. Everymanandeverywomanhasthe righttovote,andtheorganisationis managedonthatbasis.

"Theworkfortheelectionswascarriedonundergreatdifficulties,asthose whoactuallylaidthefoundationof theSinnFeinmovementareunderarrest,100ofthepartyleadersandorganisershavingbeendeported,while aboutanother100oftheirsympathisers areinIrishorEnglishprisons.

"Theserepressivemeasuresareintendedtoirritatethepeople,but,insteadofdemoralising,theytendto stimulateactivity.Newmethodsof repressionaremetbyoriginaldevices. TheperfectdisciplineoftheSinnFein organisationsisfoundedonthgwatchwordof'FaithandFatherland.' Theirchurchandtheirreligionaredear totheIrishpeople,andSinnFeinisto themastheirreligion.

'Thefirstthingthatistaughtinthe organisationisthatifhisleaderstell amannottohitbackifheisstruck, hemustobey,andhethuslearnsto giveuphisowninclinationforthe goodofthecause.Thatishowmen whoarereallysoldiershavemarched onwithoutawordwhiletheyhave beenabusedandstoned.

InCommunicationWithAmerica..

"TheExecutiveCommitteeofthe IrishRepublic,"CountPlunkettcontinued,"hasbeenincommunication withtheUnitedStatesandotherGovernments;butwhatitspeciallyaims atistogetintocommunicationwith thepeopleofdifferentcountriesbyrepresentationattheirlabourcongresses andalsobypropaganda.Thecensorshipstopspropagandathroughthe press.anddirectlyinterfereswithwrittencommunications. Wehavesympathywithallnationalitieswhicharestrugglingforfreedom,andhavemuchfellow-feeling withRussianaspirations."

TheCountalludedtotheintentionof SinnFeintotrytocontrolallpossible agenciesinIreland,suchasthecounty councilsandgovernmentboards,soas tocircumventEnglishdomination throughwhichtheyact.Thecounty anddistrictcouncilswillbere-elected inMayorJune,andbythattimeSinn Feinleadershopethatpublicopinion willbesothoroughlyinstructedthat onlySinnFeinerswillbereturned TheGovernment,CountPlunkettdeclared,haspostponedthemunicipal electionssoastopreventthisbeing done,andsoretaina"bulwark bureau"untilnextyearatleast.

"TheIrishRepublicans,"hesaid, 'haveamajority,eveninUlster, whichisdividedintothreeparties; first,theUnionists,whodonotwishto beseparatedfromEngland;second, thosewhowantIrishindependence, butstillwanttokeepsomeconnection withEngland,chieflyfortradepurposes;and,third,IrishRepublicans, whowantcompleteindependencefor thenation.

orRepublicans.Theywouldjoinona basisoffidelitytoIreland."

"CouldIrelandbegovernedoutof isownresources?Hasitwealth enough?"hewasasked."Yes,"Count Plunkettreplied,"theGovernmentis nowoneofthedearestandleastproductiveofanyintheworld.Agricultureandindustrywouldincreaseunder ahomegovernment,andwebelieve thatfor£12,000,000ayearallnecessary governmentcouldbecarriedon,includingthenecessaryarmyandnavy. Itnowcostsusfrom£27,000,000to £30,000,000ayear,whichispartlyspent onourownrepression.

"Intheearlydaysofthewar,we weretoldthatIreland'sshareofthe post-wardebtwouldamountto£400,000,000.Bythistimeitmayamount to£600,000,000.Whataterriblethreat toanation.UnderanIrishRepublic thatdebtwould,ofcourse,berepudiated,andweshouldstartclear.

"Notonlyhavewehadgrosslyunjusttaxation,butarepressivesystem ofadministrationhasbeenenforced. Wehavebeensubjectedtojealousies andgraspingavarice,bothincommerce andpolitics.Lookingbackthrough history,wefindthatineveryinstance whereIreland'stradestruckatEnglishinterests,Irishtradeandindustry weresacrificed.

"EvenunderthebenevolentdespotismofaStrafford,Irelandcouldnot butsuffer.Thegreatestimpediment togrowthhasoccurredthroughthe cuttingoffofIreland'sintercoursewith othernations.Withsomeofthebest harboursintheworld,weremainwithoutshipping,throughEngland'saction. Forinstance,whentheCunardCompanydiverteditsboatsfromcallingat Queenstown,theGermancompany whichofferedtomakeitaportofcall wasrefutedpermissiontotouchthe sailofIreland.

"Irelandlookstofreedomofthe seas,thereleaseofhercommerce,and anendofherisolation;Irelandwould maketheseasaroadwayforfriendship withothernations,andwouldhelpto formasocietyofnationslinkedbya commonbondofhumanity.

"WhilewehopegiftedIrishmenwill findplentyofscopefortheirtalentsin theirownland-fortheyareendowed withabilitytogovern-theyhaveat thesametimealsoexercisedthatpowerinotherlands,fortheypossess capacitytoappreciatenationaland racialdifferencesandthewarmthof humanfellowship.Thiscapacitywill remainwiththemtotheend."

Inanswertofurtherquestions,the CountsaidthattheBishopsarenearly allincompletesympathywiththeRepublicanParty."Someofthemhave beenslowtorecognisethenational ideaofindependence,buttheyarebecorningaccustomedtoit.Religion andgovernmentarecloselyrelated,"he added,"toanIrishman,whohasacertain'domesticityofreligion'whichis peculiartohim.

"TheIrisharedevotedtotheirland endtheirreligion.Theirtroublesin thepasthavebeengenerallyconnect. edwiththeland.Withinourrecollectionoccurredsomeveryharrowing evictions,and,althoughnowabouta quarterofthetenantshavebecomeat :eastpartownersoftheirholdings,still therearemanymorewhoshouldbecomeowners,too.TheIrishmanis notcruelorsavagebynature,buthe maybedriventocommitfierceand almostsavageactsifpressedtoohard."

TheStateandtheCitizen

(ByProfessorMeredithAtkinson,MA.,UniversityofMelbourne.)

Onnoproblemhavethethinkersof mankindconcentratedwithsnoreinterestthanthenatureoftheState, andtherelationofthecitizentothe State.Ineverysucceedingageithas presentedtheappearanceofanewproblem,sincetheexpandinglifeofsociety introducednewsocialfactors,and madeare-adjustmentoftheindividual totheStateapracticalnecessity.In theearlyMiddleAges,England,to taketheclearestexample,wasonlya looselyunifiedState,withaweakly centralisedGovernment.Itwasreally acollectionofself-sufficingcommunities,undervariouslordsofthemanor, becomingunitedintoaStateonlyfor specialnationalpurposes,likewar.But theStatedidverylittleforthecitizen, andthecitizenverylittlefortheState. Thegrowthofcommunications,theincreasedpowerofthekingsasagainst thenobles,thedevelopmentoftradeat homeandabroadgraduallybrokedown thebarriersofnatureandexclusiveness,andgavetoEnglandarealpolitic-alandsocialunitybythecloseof theMiddleAges.Greatthinkersnow begantoanalysethefunctionsandobjectsoftheState.WiththeRevival ofLearning.theReformation,and geographicalexploration,beganthe riseofstrongnationalmonarchies.This ledpoliticalthinkerstoconcentrate upontheproblemofsovereignty.The commonpeoplewerestilllargelyconsideredassubjectstobegoverned possessingcertainmoralrightsas humanbeings,butnocivicrights whatever,exceptinsofarastheir possessionofpropertyortheirarmed powercouldwringsuchrightsfrom thekings.Thecitizen,asweunderstandhim,hadasyetscarcelyemerged, fortheStateexistedfogtheaggrandisementoftherulers,andnotforthe goodofthepeople.Itisnotstrange thattherewasthenbutlittlesenseof nationalcommunity.Thefamous sayingofLouisXIV.,"TheState!I amtheState!"isatruedescriptionof mostoftheGovernmentsofWestern Europeuptothe18thcentury.

Thecontinuedsuppressionofthe libertyofthepeoplebythedespotic powerofkingsandoligarchiesledtoa violentmovement,inthoughtandaction,towardstheremovalofembargoesuponthefreedomoftheindividual.TheFrenchRevolutionwasthe emphaticexpressionoftheseideas. Thisdevelopmentofthe18thcentury wasworkedoutinthereformsofthe early19thcentury.Butitsintense individualismstillregardedtheState asapowerexternaltotheindividual, andtobeexercisedfortheremovalo. restraintsuponliberty,ratherthanthe positiveorderingofconditionswhich wouldassisttheattainmentoffullindividuality.Thisnarrowconception oftheStatestill.unhappily,lingers withus,despitetheremarkablegrowth ofcollectivistlegislationandadvanced socialreformofthepastfiftyyears. Wearestillaccustomedtohear,on everyside.that"Amanshouldbeable todowhathelikeswithhisown," thattheStateshouldnotinterferebetweenemployersandtheirworkers; andsoon,overthewholerangeof "Laissez-faire"anarchy.Forthepolka-oflaissez-faire,thegospelof19th centurycommercialism,istrulyaform ofanarchy.Itsso-calledfreedomof actiongavesupremepowertothealreadystrong,and,ifcarriedtoits logicalconclusion,wouldhaveestablishedunqualifiedconditionsofcompetition,whichcouldonlybethe equivalentofeconomicanarchy.The evilsofindustrialism.however,were tooterribletopermitthisinhuman philosophyofthenon-interferingState toprevail.Thefactorysystemwasso horriblethathumanitariansentiment insisteduponmeasuresofreform.On themeagrebasisoffactorylegislation andsimilarreformswehaveatlast rearedapositivereconstruction throughcollectiveeffort.TheauthorityoftheStateisnowcontinuallyinvokedtoinstituteconditionsandcompelregulationsforthesafetyandwelfareofthegeneralbodyofcitizens, andmoreespeciallyoftheworkers.

Atfirst.reformerscontentedthemselveswithagitatingfortheextension ofthefranchisetothepeople.This wasthefirstrealrecognitionthatthe bodypoliticanditsGovernmentshould consistofthewholeadultpopulation. TheStateandthecitizensthusbecame inurenearlycoincident.Rutitisone ofthedisappointmentsofhistorythat modernreformshavefailedtobring aboutarealidentitybetweentheState andthecitizen-body.Evenindemocraciesitisstilltruethattheaverage manthinksoftheStateas"theGovernment,"andnotastheorganised andexpressedpowerofthegenera! will.Hehasconsiderablejustification forthisattitude,sinceitishiscommon andunfortunateexperiencethatthe actsandpoliciesofGovernmentsare nottheexpressionofthepeople'swill, andare,infact,frequentlyindirect

oppositiontoit.Butthepractical problemofhowtomakeGovernment aperformanceofthewillofthepeople isnotatallthesameastheproblem ofthetruerelationbetweentheState andthecitizen.Wemightdomuch, forexample,toincreasetheefficiency ofGovernmentbysuchdevicesasProportionalRepresentation,theInitiative,theReferendum,andtheRecall. Animmenseextensionofthepowersof localGovernmentwouldalsodomuch tosaveusfromtheextraordinary..ost andincompetenceofoursevenbureaucraciesinAustralia.

Butthereareotherreasonswhythe Stateandthecitizensarenotanidentity.ThoughthepowersoftheStats havebeenrepeatedlyusedtoimprove socialconditions,Governmentshave shownanincurablehesitancytoaccept fullresponsibilityforthesocialenvironmentofalltheircitizens.Thuswe haveto-daysuchglaringanomaliesas unemploymentandvastamountsof idlecapitalandhugetractsofunoccupiedlandsidebyside,whileweprosecutepersonsforhavingnomeansof visiblesupportorforattemptingsui-, cide,andatthesametimeallowthem todieofstarvation.Suchinconsistenciesarenotentirelyduetoinhumanity,butpartlytothedivorceof politicsfromeconomics,theideathat mancanachievefreedombypolitical, withouteconomic,power.Thescope oftheStateshouldproperlyinclude everyactivityofmaninitssocialbearings.Justasmanisnotmerelypolitical,buteconomicandmoralalso,so theStateinvolvesallthepolitical,economicandmoralideasandactivitiesof itsindividualcitizensintheirsocial applications.Thisdoesnotnecessarily meanthattheonlytrueorganisation oftheStateisSocialistic.Thefusan ofSocialismknownasCollectivism-thenationalisationofthemeansc-fproduction,distributionandexchangehasdevelopedfaultsanddifficultiesof itsown.Whileithasbynomeans reacheditslimitsofusefulness.itis seldomadvancednowadaysinitscrudity.
