Excerpt from A Journey in Ireland Little Nationalism as represented by self determination. Both horses have had a rare gallop in Ireland. Internationalism de manded that the British Government should justify or attempt to justify before the world its action and attitude in what is really a domestic quarrel. Little Nationalism de manded that two states should be set up in an island, which judged by every standard except that of the Balkans, is barely large enough for one. The resultant progeny, to change the metaphor, would have been of a character comic in the extreme, if Irish per versity had not made it so grim a tragedy of lost lives and ruined homes.
