The Open Secret of Ireland

CHAPTER IX
17/29

In such horrible manifestations of Home Rule I do not discern the material for a revolution.

It may occur to evil-minded people to increase the provision for technical instruction in certain centres for the same end.

The Irish State may think it well to maintain agents in London, New York, and some of the continental capitals with a view to widening the external market for Irish products.

I do not say that a Home Rule Parliament will do all these things, but they are the sort of thing that it will do.
