“The Pan Angles" and the author is Sinclair Kennedy. It is pub-
lished by Longmans, Green & Co., 39 Paternoster Row, London,
Bombay and Calcutta, and at Fourth Avenue and Thirtieth Street,
New York. Mr. Kennedy finished his book in January. 1914, six
months before the outbreak of the war and obviously with no ex-
pectation that war would come so soon. On pages 202-203 of “The
Pan Angles” these words burned themselves into the writer's
memory: ,
"Not alone the federation of the Britannie nations, but the fed-
eration of the whole Pan-Angle people is the end to be sought.
Behind Rhodes‘ ‘greater union in Imperial matters’ lay his vision of
a common government over all English-speaking people. ‘If we are
to preserve our civilization and its benefits to an individual civiliza-
tion, we must avoid friction among ourselves and take a united stand
before thevworld. Only a common government will ensure this.”
Treason from American Lips
HE writer was peculiarly impressed with the last sentence in
‘ the passage quoted, and for a very apparent reason. It was
almost identical with the language employed by a distinguished
’ American editor and diplomatist who represented the United States
at the Court of St. James.‘ Iyrefer to the late Whitelaw Reid. On
July 17. 1902, Mr. Reid in a speech, delivered in London during his
ambassadorship,- said: -
“The time does visibly draw near when solidarity of race, if not
of government, is to prevail."
The similarity of sentiments expressed by two persons of dif-
ferent race and speaking at an interval of twelve years must strike
anyone as deeply significant. “It: have here an agreementiin that
respect between Cecil Rhodes, Sinclair Kennedy and Whitelaw Reid.
All three want uncommon government over the Britannic nations
and the United States. This policy has not been openly espoused
in the New York Tribune, whose destiny is now presided over by
Ogden Mills Reid. the former Ambassador's son, but that paper has
come as close to the matter as it" dares without laying itself open
to indictment for high treason. His sister is Lady bVard, wife of
the First Equerry to His Britannic Majesty, King George V.
It is known that the millions left by‘ Cecil Rhodes for the express
object of the "ultimate recovery of the United States of America as
an integral part of the British Empire,” have been invested in such a
manner as to carry out as secretly as possible the purpose for which
they were designed. Men may well stand appalled at the working
of the Rhodes poison in the veins of American life.
To its fatal operation may be attributed the rise of societies to
promote Anglo-Saxon brotherhood, Pilgrim societies, movements to
celebrate the centennary of English and American friendship
(farcical as that prctension is), the formation of peace. treaties
I nominally most inclusive, but in reality designed to benefit Great
Britain, and the gradual elimination from our public school his-
tories of all reference to the nefarious part played by England in
our history, English designs against this country and savagery against
its citizens, aswell as all unpleasant diplomatic events between us
and England that have been of such frequent recurrence. To this
sinister influence may be attributed the movement to ignore the
Fourth of July andsubstitute the Signing of the Magna Charta to be
celebrated by American youths as the true origin of our indepen-
dence. as purposed by Andrew Carnegie in placards which did, and
possibly do yet, adorn the walls of his free libraries. In the June
number of the North Amm'rrm Review for 1893, Carnegie em-
ployed the following significant words: V
‘.'I.et men say what they will; I say that as surely as the sun in the
heavens once shone upon Britain and America united, so surely is it
one morning to rise, shine upon andgreet again the reunited State
-the British-American Union."
Let us recall that it was Lord Bryce, the former British Ambas-
sador to the United States, who advocated:
“The recognition of a common citizenship, securing to the citizen
of each, in the country of the other, certain rights not enjoyed by
others."
The Rhodes Poison Working
ND that Lord Haldane. in a speech in Canada some years ago
broadly hinted at an ultimate union of the two countries. We
find in "The Pan Angles" of Mr. Kennedy a map of the world in
THE FATHERLAND
which Great Britain, Canada, Australia and the United States
are represented in a uniform color, to illustrate their solidarity.
In the minds of the Pan Angles the vision of the great Cecil Rhodes,
backed by his countless millions, is approaching its realization
Rhodes held that"‘divine ideals, on which the progress of mankind
depended, were for the most part the moving influence, if not the
- exclusive possession, of the Anglo-Saxon race, of which Great
Britain is the head." (“The Right Hon. Cecil John Rhodes," by
Sir Thos. E. Fuller, p. 243). Rhodes’ published will of July 1,
1899. has a broad provision for his American propaganda in para-
graph I6: "And whereas I also desire to encourage and foster an
appreciation of the advantages which I implicitly believe will
result from the union of the English-speaking people throughl
out the world. and to encourage in the students from the United
States of North America whowill benefit from the American
Scholarships to be established at the University of Oxford
under this my Will, an attachment to the country from which
they have sprung." etc.
The Rhodes campaign is bearing fruit. The outbreak of the war
furnished the occasion. VVhile the London T imcs, in March, 1915,
abandoned the hypocritical pretext that England had entered the
war on account of Belgium, while members of Parliament, like
Ramsay MacDonald and Philip Snowdon, and famous writers like
E 13- Mord. Clifford Allen, Prof. F. C. Conybeare, of Oxford, were
denouncing the treachery of their own country and Dr. Conybeare
described Sir Edward Grey as “the most sinister. liar in Europe,"
Englishmen of American birth, with the corruption of Cecil Rhodes’
gold in their systems, were preaching from the old text of the in-
justice done Belgium and harping on atrocities disproved by every
human evidence available, and urging the United States to go to the
rescue of England. To them the traditions of their country are
nothing, and the pretext of neutrality is exercised only in the interest
of Great Britain against the Central Powers. It is the secret work
of Cecil Rhodes’s millions. It has raised a crop of traitors in our
own midst who are blinding the mass of the people to the truth
ihmugh ti"? D0Wer of the Lord Northclifie press. Mr. J. P.
0’Mahony, editor of the Indiana Catholic and Record, has stated in
public print that in a conversation with Lord Northclilie at the
Vilalton Hotel, Philadelphia, in April, 1900, the then Sir Alfred
Harmworth told him: “The syndicate of which I am the head
owns or controls eighteen very successful American papers in
your leading cities.”
