Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cause of Ireland and Its Relation the the League of Nations: Statement by Hon. W. Bourke Cockran, Before the Committee of Foreign Relations of the United States Senate, Saturday, August 30, 1919 One man of my own acquaintance who is still living, and who occupies a very prominent position today in English public life, the younger son of a great noble, became a naval officer and received from his father when he came of age a property that yielded about a year. This property which he had never seen was managed by an agent. He went on the turf and in the course of a few weeks the thousand pounds which constituted his annual income passed from his pockets into those of enterprising bookmakers. As was usual with Irish landlords living out of the country, he wrote a letter to his agent asking of he could not send him some more money. The agent answered that the income from his property might easily be doubled. Why the mischief then don't you double it, he asked. I want to be sure, the agent answered, that I will be sustained. Now this man is quite an extraor dinary person, gifted with a mind singularly effective in analysis. Concluding from the agent's statement that there was something about the matter which needed explanation, he resolved to visit the estate and ascertain for himself the real condition. The agent met him and escorted him over the property, showing him various farms for which the rentals paid, he said, were entirely inadequate, and finally reached one which seemed to be particularly well kept and prosperous. There, said the agent, is one of the best farms on the estate. It is easily worth 2 guineas an acre, and all that the tenant pays for it is 2 and 6 pence. When the landlord asked why the higher rental was not obtained for it, the agent answered that when rentals had been raised on Irish estates the agents always incurred bitter enmity. This they were prepared to face, but they had not always been sustained by their principals. And this particular agent before he took any steps to increase rentals wanted to be assured that he would be supported by the landlord in any trouble that might ensue.

Download or read book Ireland and the League of Nations 1919 1946 written by Michael J. Kennedy and published by History S. This book was released on 1996 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1923 to 1946, Ireland was a committed, though critical, supporter of the League of Nations. Under Cumann Na Gaedheal and the foreign ministries of Fitzgerald and McGillgan, the state's policy was that of a radical. Ireland constantly sought to uphold the covenant and further the work of the League in the face of great power criticism. This was recognised with the Free State's Election to the League Council in 1930. Under Fianna Fail, de Valera built upon his predecessors' achievements and Ireland became a mature and influential League member. By the early mid-1930s, the Irish were involved in nearly all of the League's most important projects; and the great powers, such as Britain, recognised Ireland's role as one of the influential 'small states' in the League. The late 1930s saw the League decline after Italy's invasion of Abyssinia. Ireland still supported the League, but in a theoretical manner, as de Valera steered Ireland towards neutrality in the looming conflict. This book analyses Ireland's policy at the League in Geneva and the development of League policy in Dublin against the background of the turbulent inter-war years. It examines the personalities and issues behind policy and analyses their execution in Geneva. It draws on analysis of previously unseen material recently released from the Department of Foreign Affairs archives. This book is a fundamental reassessment of Irish foreign in the inter-war period.
Download or read book The Irish and the American Presidency written by Nicole Anderson Yanoso and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a widely held notion that, except for the elections of 1928 and 1960, the Irish have primarily influenced only state and local government. The Irish and the American Presidency reveals that the Irish have had a consistent and noteworthy impact on presidential careers, policies, and elections throughout American history. Using US party systems as an organizational framework, this book examines the various ways that Scots-Irish and Catholic Irish Americans, as well as the Irish who remained in eire, have shaped, altered, and sometimes driven such presidential political factors as party nominations, campaign strategies, elections, and White House policymaking.The Irish seem to be inextricably interwoven into important moments of presidential political history. Yanoso discusses the Scots-Irish participation in the American Revolution, the Whiskey Rebellion, and the War of 1812. She describes President Bill Clinton's successful Good Friday Agreement that brought peace and hope to Northern Ireland. And finally, she assesses the now-common presidential visits to Ireland as a strategy for garnering Irish-American support back home.No previous work has explored the impact of Irish and Irish-American affairs on US presidential politics throughout the entire scope of American history. Readers interested in presidential politics, American history, and/or Irish/Irish-American history are certain to find The Irish and the American Presidency enjoyable, informative, and impactful.
Download or read book Power and the Pursuit of Peace Theory and Practice in the History of Relations Between States written by F. H. Hinsley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1967-10 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last years of the nineteenth century peace proposals were first stimulated by fear of the danger of war rather than in consequence of its outbreak. In this study of the nature and history of international relations Mr Hinsley presents his conclusions about the causes of war and the development of men's efforts to avoid it. In the first part he examines international theories from the end of the middle ages to the establishment of the League of Nations in their historical setting. This enables him to show how far modern peace proposals are merely copies or elaborations of earlier schemes. He believes there has been a marked reluctance to test these theories not only against the formidable criticisms of men like Rousseau, Kant and Bentham, but also against what we have learned about the nature of international relations and the history of the practice of states. This leads him to the second part of his study - an analysis of the origins of the modern states' system and of its evolution between the eighteenth century and the First World War.

Download or read book Britain and the Intellectual Origins of the League of Nations 1914 1919 written by Sakiko Kaiga and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative account of the origins of the idea of the League of Nations, Sakiko Kaiga casts new light on the pro-League of Nations movement in Britain in the era of the First World War, revealing its unexpected consequences for the development of the first international organisation for peace. Combining international, social, intellectual history and international relations, she challenges two misunderstandings about the role of the movement: that their ideas about a league were utopian and that its peaceful ideal appealed to the war-weary public. Kaiga demonstrates how the original post-war plan consisted of both realistic and idealistic views of international relations, and shows how it evolved and changed in tandem with the war. She provides a comprehensive analysis of the unknown origins of the League of Nations and highlights the transformation of international society and of ideas about war prevention in the twentieth century to the present.
