moderate men rather than by extreme men, but one in which all extreme men might without any sacrifice of principle join. In the first six months of 1904, however, he wrote in the "United Irishman" a series of articles entitled the "Resurrection of Hungary," in which the history of Hungary's struggle with and victory over Austria is told with the closest possible analogy to the affairs of Ireland, and containing a final chapter showing how a similar policy, applied to Ireland, could be made equally successful. These articles were republished as a pamphlet and had a wide circulation, with the result that a demand went up from the readers of the "United Irishman" that the "Hungarian Policy," as it was then called, should be adopted as the alternative to armed insurrection and should be propagated against Parliamentarianism. And, after some manoeuvring, that was done, and all public Separatist organisations were fused together in one organisation called "Sinn Fein," governed by an executive called the "National Council," with its policy as the "Sinn Fein Policy," as the "Hungarian Policy" had now been renamed. CHAPTER IV THE SINN FEIN POLICY "The policy of Sinn Fein purposes to bring Ireland out of the corner and make her assert her existence to the world. I have spoken of an essential; but the basis of the policy is national self-reliance. No law and no series of laws can make a Nation out of a People which distrusts itself."--ARTHUR GRIFFITH (1906).
