New York, May 14. Interviewed in New York, Cardinal Logue. Primate of All Ireland, made some sensational statements as to the future of the British Empire. The Cardinal said that he saw signs of Great Britain’s certain dis. solution.
“The colonies,” he went on, “are restive; Australia today ‘is practically independent, and the trend of every movement is more and more in the direction of absolute rebellion. “New Zealand is indifferent, and Canada is legislating in a manner that shows her desire to conduct her business in her own way. “The fires of rebellion have been lighted in India, and men and women have been hanged for daring to advocate the doctrine of never-dying freedom. “When England sits alone as the result of misgovernment, it will be a day of reckoning for the children of Ireland.”
