 11, Grosvenor Place,Rathmines, Dublin. 27-11-16. Dear Mr. Ginnell, Many thanks for the question re the stopped cables. As wecannot draw them without particulars, perhaps you would now be goodenough to ask why they stopped a cable sent by me on Jan. 8th , addre—ssed to Ford Peace Crusade, The Hague, Holland, in these terms:Dublin Public Meeting convened by Irish Women's Franchise Leagueendorsed your mission; and whether they propose to return me themoney paid for the despatch of this cable. I am glad to know that you are coming over to speak at the Anti-Taxation Meeting on Tuesday. There is a good committee in chargeof the meeting, and I believe it will be the starting point of anAll-Ireland agitation, —not for restitution or adjustments orset-offs, but for Fiscal Independence. Meeting arranged for next Tuesday. At present politics have goneback to the pre-Davitt days, — a Constitutional movement which issunk in Whiggery and useless, while all the real Nationalism of thecountry is diverted into the physical force movement. That is adangerous position; the Taxation question seems to offer the bestprospect of creating a new, militant, aggressive, movement not com-mitted to physical force. Laurence J.
