"Oh, " says the Imperialist, "but we protect Ireland from its foreign enemies for this eighteen million pounds. " We do not know who are our foreign enemies. We never were oppressed by any people except our neighbors. ROBBING A SMALL NATION But let us for a moment grant that eighteen mil- lion pounds is the moral equivalent of that protec- tion. We then ask what is the economic equivalent to Ireland for this eighteen millions. If you who read fall into the sea and somebody plunges in after you ...and saves your life and in gratitude you say, "You are entitled to all I possess;" if the rescuer takes your income, you starve. If Great Britain really desired to be just to Ireland, it would arrange that there would be an ex- penditure in Ireland equal to the tribute; that ships for the navy, aeroplanes, clothing for troops, munitions, etc. , could be manufactured here so that while Ireland would be contributing to Imperial defence it would not be impoverished by the manner in which the tribute would be exacted.
