Mr. President. it is also proposed to reduce the number of Irish immigrants. I see no occasion for this. In pioneer days they built our railroads. In peace time they run our cities. In war time they fight our battles. I want to second the motion of J. Adam Bede. that we acquire Ireland and raise our own policemen. But. talking seriously. Mr. Preslent. we find the Irish holding high and important places in our American life. They have made not only great records in the Army and the Navy but also in civil life. We are also aware of the fact today that they are an important and helpful element in both the British Government and the British Army. notwithstanding some differences of opinion that we have read about.
