SINN FEIN REPUBLIC
A VISIONAL IDEA, SAYS ME. DILLON. In a letter recently received by Mr. M. M. Ryan, president of the United Irish League of Tasmania, from Mr. John Dillon, leader of the Irish Nationalist Party, and grand president of the United Irish League, Mr. Dillon states that the results of the recent elections occasioned him no surprise, ns it had been known for months that a Sinn Fein victory was likely. The result of the election was, in a large measure, due to tho conduct of the Government m<l Mr. Lloyd George in breaking faith '.vith the Irish representatives and postponing indefinitely the granting of Home Rule. He anticipated that before long, however, there would be a great reaction in Ireland, as the peoplo ,would realise, that they had been deceived and misled by tlia Sinn Fein leaders, who had undertaken to secure an independent republic totally separated from Great Britain by abstaining from attending Parliament.
