ITYasvigourouslyasever,andtoreceivethenumerouscallerswhoplay suchhavocwithhistime.

Ihadtheprivilegeofalongtalkwith Griffithinhisofficeonmyarrival,and sincethenhavemethimseveraltimes atvariousplaces.Hehasawonderfulpersonality,andtomedoesnot appeartheleastIrish.Heisslowspoken,butreadytosmileontheinstant.AndIhadhimsmilingasI toldhimstoriesofMelbourne-ofthe wonderfulmeetings,andofthewonderfulIrishfeelingthatArchbishop MannixhasrevivedinAustralia.But inpaymentfortheinformationthatI gavehimIdemandedsomethingconcerninghimself,whichIcouldtellto thepeopleofAustralia.Griffith,however,isnotthemantotellyoumuch ofhimself.IhadtodragwhatIcould outofhim,andleavetheresttobe filledinbyothers.

BorninDublinabout50yearsagoheisanoldChristianBrothers'boy, andearlyturnedhisattentiontopress work.AtriptoSouthAfrica,andhe returnedtostartasmallnewspaper calledtheUNITEDIRISHMAN.This wasin1899,andinitscolumnshe strovetostirupastrongnationalfeelingamongsttheyoungmen.HisattentionwasattractedtowardsHungary,andthehistoryofthatcountry, resemblingsocloselyasitdidthehistoryofIreland,ledhimtomakea studyofit.Theresultofthatstudy waspublishedinapamphletcalled "TheResurrectionofHungary."Here heenunciatedthepolicyofSinnFein, andatoncebegantourgeitsapplicationtoIreland.TheUNITED IRISHMANranontherocks,andwas succeededbySINNFEIN.Thisoutspokenjournalcontinuedrightupuntil thefirstfewmonthsofthewar,when, onaccountofthatoutspokenness,it wassuppressedbytheGovernment. Nottobeoutdone,Griffithstarted SCISSORSANDPASTE.

SINNFEINhadbeensuppressedbecauseoftheeditor'scommentonthe warandtheEnglishGovernmentgenerally.Thenewpaperwentonnew lines.GriffithdugupallthestatementsthattheleadingEnglishpapers hadmadefromtimetotimeabout theGermans,theFrench,theRussians andtheBelgians.Theseheplaced sidebysidewithwhatthesame paperswerenowsayingduringthe week.Suchaprocedurewasmoreoffensivethanevertothepowersthatbe. Thereisonethingthat.Englanddoes notwantrakedup,andthatisher past.AtanyrateSCISSORSAND PASTEwassuppressed.NATIONALITYnowtookitsplace.WhenGriffithwasdeportedafterEasterWeek thisalsowentintorecess.butonhis releaseresumedpublication.To-day itisoneofthemostvirilepapersin theoldworld.

GriffithdidnottakepartinEaster Week.Hewasnotaphysicalforce man.SinnFeinwastheveryantithesisofphysicalforce,andtheRebellion wasonlyaSinnFeinRebellioninthe samewaythatitwasa"human"Rebellion.Theleadersandmanyof themenwerecertainlySinnFeiners, justastheywere"humans."However,thatdidnotstopGriffithfrom beingseized,deportedandimprisoned.

IspoketoGriffithofthefeelingthat mustcomeoverhimwhenhethinksof thegrowthofthemovementsince1903. Hesmiledalittleatthat,andquoted aninstancetypicalofthatgrowth.In 1907,itappears,CharlesDolan,NationalistmemberforLeitrim,after fifteenmonths'experienceofthe"Parliamentarymerry-go-round"atWestminister(toquoteDr.Mannix)resign. ed,andstoodbeforehisconstituentsas aSinnFeiner.Hetoldthemofthe farceofsendingIrishmentoWestminister,buthewasdefeatedbya3to1 majority."Sixmonthsago,"saidMr. Griffith,"thatman'sbrother,James

Dolan,waselectedforthesameconstituencybyamajorityof14,615!"

Thischangewastypicalofthe wholenation.SinnFeincontested practicallyeveryoneofthe105seats lastDecember.Ofthese,twenty-five werehandedovertoSinnFeinwithout astruggle,andwhenthefinalfigures wentup78seatsofthe105wentto SinnFein.Apaltrysixwenttothe Nationalists,andoutofthesefourof themwerenotcontestedbySinnFein undertheagreementarrangedbyCardinalLogue.Theothertwoseats wereDevlin'sseatinBelfast,andCapt. Redmond'sinWaterford.Thelatter wonbyamajorityof400,butitis worthyofnotethattheIRISHTIMES statedthatover900officialUnionists votedforRedmond. "Ithasbeenstated,Mr.Griffith,"I said,"thattheelectiondoesnotprove thedesireoftheIrishpeopleforabsoluteseparation.Thatiswhatthey triedtotellusinAustraliaatthebeginninganyway.""Well,"hereplied,"thebestwaytotestthatisto lookaroundattheremainsoftheelectionpostersonthewallsandthe hordingsofthecityandinthecountry..Therewasnothingelsetalked about.Westoodforstraight-outseparation,andnotaposterorhandbill buthad'VotefortheSinnFeinCandidateandanIrishRepublic.'"

Imentionedthebitterfeelingsthe DevlinitesentertainedtowardsSinn Fein.T.P.O'Connor'sU.I.L.wasat thetimesittinginLeeds,andthatvery dayoneofthedelegateshadcharged theSinnFeinleaderswithbeinginthe payofDublinCastle!"Theywon't learn,"commentedGriffith."Lookat this.ItisastatementmadebyJohn RedmondasearlyasJuly,1915."I readit,andIfeltsomewhatthankful thatpoorRedmondhasnotlivedtosee whatmustbecalledtheoutcomeofhis collossalmistakeof1914: "WhatiscalledtheSinnFeinmovement,"hesaid,"issimplythetemporarycohesionofisolatedcranksin variouspartsofthecountry,andit wouldbeimpossibletosayexactly whattheirprinciplesare,orwhat theirobjectis.Infacttheyhave nopolicyandnoleader,anddonot amounttoarowofpinsasfaras thefutureofIrelandisconcerned!"

TheofficesofNATIONALITYare situatedatSinnFeinheadquarters,an unpretentiousbuildingat6Harcourtstreet,afewyardsonlyfromStephens Green.Onthegroundflooristhe SinnFeinBank.Aswecamedown thestairsofthebuildingGriffithsaid: "Bytheway,youcomefromNewman College.Thisplaceshouldinterest you.Itusedtobetheresidenceof CardinalNewmanwhenhewasestablishingtheUniversityhere."Itdid interestme.

AswepassedalongthestreetsIcould notbutnoticethelookscastatmy companion,butheseemedignorantof them.Hewastellingmethelight sidetoit.Onecouldwriteabook,and, myword,thereisalightsidetoitall. ThepreviousdayIhadhadteawith CountessMarkieviczandMissBarton, sistertoR.C.Barton,SinnFeinM.P. GriffithtoldmeBarton'sstory.He isafairlywell-to-dolandowner,greatlyinterestedinthelandquestion,but atthetimeoftheRebellionwasa majorintheBritishArmy!Hewas oneoftheofficerswhohadchargeof therebelsastheywerebroughtinto DublinCastle,andtheardourandfervourofthesemenforthecausethey hadespousedmadeadeepimpression onBarton,Hehadalittleknowledge ofGaelic,andwasabletofollow theirconversationamongthemselves. Theresultwashisresignationofhis commission,afterwhichheactively espousedtheSinnFeincause.He hadnotwaitedtillthemovementwas aspopularasnow,butthrewhimself intoitthereandthen,provingof greatusewithhisknowledgeofthe land.

Naturallythelossofsuchaman annoyedtheauthorities,andthey were him."exceedinglyanxiousto"get Intimetheydid,andhewas lodgedinjailtobecourt-martialled.
