Pamphlets

Abstract

At this moment it is necessary that the fullest and freest exchange of ideas should be possible between Irishmen concerning the subjects in which they are interested. Such an intercourse and exchange is not easily attainable, for the Press of our country, where it is not under the supervision of the Censor, is in the possession, not of men, but of interests, and, as yet, these interests are hostile to any national policy which would interfere with or modify the pre-war relations between this country and England. That is, the money-interest both here and in England has its own political view, and the entire machinery for the distribution of news, views, criticisms and speculation is in their hands. They own the Press.
