Mr Shaw said: “Me Sweeney’s hunger strike is practically a form of determination to die rather than to submit to a decree of .punishment; and a prudent Government ghtjujd therefore be most careful how it decrees piuiisliippift, becfiugg }i will either be forced tg reduce itsplf tft absurdity, gy unconditional suprpnj|erj or else to go through with it, <a?>d oome responsible to the public con-! science for the victims’ deaths, I would not be in] Mr Lloyd George’s shoes for anything, if he really wishes to make McSweeney a martyr. McSweeney is the sort of martyr who burns with the brightest and the fierciest flame.”
