Throughout the text, de Valera draws on an another comparison of both colonies to the U.S., asking, "Were George Washington alive now, are we not certain that he would repeat these same words to pariots (sic) of Ireland of this day, and who doubts that he would couple, were he here tonight, the patriots of India with the patriots of Ireland?"
