Archbishop Mannix, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Mel- bourne, who has

long distinguished himself by trying to instil ' a violently anti-British spirit into Australians, is at present visiting the United States. The New York correspondent of ' the Times says in Tuesday's paper that what was virtually an order to participate in the reception to Archbishop Mannit had been sounded from every Roman Catholic pulpit in New York, with the result that 15,000 Irish sympathisers crowded the vast hall when Arehbishop Mannix and Mr. De Valera appeared on the same platform. We hope that the Vatican will see the propriety of keeping Archbishop Mannix away from Ireland, but if it does not the Government should certainly refuse him admission.
