The Staff of the Irish Republie be-
lieve in the American principles of
brotherly love and peace. We find
grave fault with those who, urged by
foreign propagandists of one kind or
another, take advantage of their posi-
tion to disseminate un-American,
neutral propaganda. In our opinion the
following films tend to stir up these
un-
feelings of hatred. They serve only the
cause of the war-mongers.
