A handbill protesting the actions of the English in Ireland and a call for the violence to end. The flier was published by the Irish Self-Determination League of Great Britain. Includes quotes from Lord McCauley, Lloyd George, Joseph Chamberlain, Herbert Asquith, Woodrow Wilson and Winston Churchill. The text reads ‘You are making war on Ireland today in order to impose the will of a small insolent minority on the Irish nation ... in violation of every principle of honour, justice, morality and democracy’.
