I was speaking of the love and the friendship that great nations have for little nations when they are about to gobble them up. Daring the centuries that have passed England has kept Ireland in practical subjection. under continual professions of national friendship. She is now deporting Irishmen .to England on the ground of all Imaginable kinds of crimes. always professing her sincere friendship for the Irish people. England loved Persia because she wanted to corner the oil fields of the earth. and I have put into the RECORD. in a prior discussion of this treaty that she made with Persia. by which she practically takes over the Persian Government and loans to Persia $10.000.000 that the Persian people must pay back with 7 per cent interest in order to develop English commerce and safeguard these oil fields. She loans to Persia. at 7 per cent. money that she borrows from the American people at 4J per cent and upon which she has not even paid the interest up to date.
