HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. BIR A. QUILLER-COUCH ON THE CRISIS.
LETTER TO A LIBERAL, MEMBER OF
PARLIAMENT.
My dear
It was kind of you to send me wa account of the great Uister demonstration in Hyde Park and 1'daro say you are right in holding that it was high time the Unionists made a loud noise, to divert public attention from the fact that they have been caught tampering with the Army." You are certainly right, anyhow, in surmising that I think very little of demonstrations," as of most things that present themselves under portentous and inaccurate names. Few demonstrations demonstrate anything, or attempt to.. If this one demonstrated that in the angle formed by Bayswater and Park Lane a iness of people could be assembled to shout over the prospective imaginary woes of Ulster without one, thought for the real and secular rongs of Leinster, Munster and Connaught why then it demonstrated what everyone knew already..
Believe me that, without flattery, attach far more importance to your con- duct just now than to all this shouting and flag-waving: nor is it because you happen to be a Liberal, but simply be cause you have a seat in Parliament, and the eneman sense of Parliament must see this thing through. Paunits write to the newspapers suggesting a Referendum But from the frst a Referendum could not, be reduced to an issue between any vex his Majesty's Government was able to give and any no Ulster (if her spokesmen meant what they passionately declared) would accept as final
The Unionist mind, just now, does not seem alert in grasping its adversaries' point of view: but even a Unionist must see that Liberals and Nationalists are not to be cozened into a game of "Heads you lost, tails you win and I repudiate."
WHERE THE ISSUE LIES. But, indeed, if eve the issue between El Government and Ulster were capable of being settled by the thumb-fingered method of Referendum (which I not only doubt but deny), that time, is long past. The issue lies now between excluding the recalcitrant part of Bister for six years and excluding it for an indefinite time. Th: principle of a national Parliament for the rest of Ireland is tacitly admitted. There, resonitis only, the adjustment of concessions betwee reasonable men: and that is why I say it lies now with you Mumbers of this present Parliament to see the thing through. I address your because in general your principles are mine, and my friends on the other side wight suspert me. But as a plato citizen I tell you both pretty plainly that if you can't manage fais-if you let blood be shed over a differenes between exclusion for six years in which at least one Gene ral Election must happen) and exclusion for a longer term-your constituents made a mistake fast Lime
extraordinarily Asquith has been patient Why, of course he has and in his patience yet lies our one good hope of retracing a path which never ought to have been trodden. But the retracing will not be easy. "How say you,
still harping on Front Bench traffic, can anyone doal generously with a mind so ungracious as Mr. Boner Law's ??? At this point I give you up. If, as a party man, you cannot see what is your fortune in being upposed by Bonar Law, then I wash my hands of you.
This, thon, is my word. The question: has been so far narrowed that if it be not settled soon both sides of the House will
discredited,
Parliamentary and he government, discredited. On your side, leave a door open, and open so widely that Ulster cannot kick at it without kitking empty air and making a patent. fool of herself. She will come in. She has been flattered until she thinks herself necessary to the rest of Ireland. She will find that the rest of Ireland is necessary to her. Remembering your own pride of race, provide that the repentance shall not in any way humiliate her. Have you ever come across a poem by Thomas Davis called "Orange and Green #1 of which the refrain is:
Orange and green,
The real
Orange and green shall carry the day. It is not a wholly pleasant poem for Englishmen. But any statesman who is out to solve this ancient difficulty of Ireland is out to take risks. risk in the solution (I think, a risk worth taking) is not that Ulster will cling to us, but that, however, generously treated. in 20 years time, if not sooner, she will be inerting the rest of Ireland to sedition. Let us give her uo excuse in the story of her inclusion.
Now I am going to add something even less palatable; which is that if you pur- sue this talk about the Arroy versus Parliament," to work it up into an electioneering cry, you will get no vote of mine nor the vote of anybody I can persuade. Your only excuse can be that the Unionist party leaders and the Unjonist party Press have asked for it, and richly deserve it. As for the Press, its incitements to the Army to forgot its tradition and even break its oath have been (in Mr. Churchill's words) in- numerable, palent, open, repeated, and Bugrant" As for Mr. Bonar Law-who. aspires to be Prime Minister-what mean- ing save one can a plain soldier be expected to attach to these words, uttered in the House of Commons on March 20 ?--
We on this side have from the very first held the view that to coerce Ulster is an operation which no Government under existing conditions bins a right to ask the Army to undertake, and in our view, oỀ course, it is not necessary to say that any officer who refuses is only fullling his duty.
to
Let any man go one by one through the passages quoted the House by Mr. Churchill on March 30th from sperches made by Mr. Bonar Law, Lord Laus downe, and Sir Edward Carson, and may not only what any plain soldier would understand by them, but what meaning they were calculated to convey to the public mind.

Why they take Sanatogen.
Read these letters from proml nent persons, and you will realise why they and many thousands of others swear by Sanatogen as a means of keeping oneself thoroughly fit and healthy. Why not follow their example? Why not try Sanatogen to-day?
A Genuine Tonic.
Don't be conquered by the fassi- tude and nervous debility which attack everybody at this season of the year. Get out of that slackened condition of vitality as soon as possible before dysentery, enteric rheumatism, or other diseases attack you

Any doctor will tell you that a course of Sanatogen is by far the best means of preventing that de- vitalisation of the nerves, and in- dolence of the physical functions, to which everyone is liable just now.
Why YOU need SANATOGEN.
Moreover, the bactericidal action of the blood and its natural protec tive powers against disease are so highly developed by Sanatogen that your system will be far bet ter fitted to resist fevers, gout, Sanat- sciatica, rheumatism, etc. ogen is also of the greatest value in convalescence after illness...

To begin with, you cannot do it. What is more, you ought not to wish it. "Tyranny," says Pascal, he wish to have in one way what can only be had in another."
There lies, as it seems to me, the root of the matter of Ulster. You can only bring her in by persuasion, and not by your persuading (since she not un naturally distrusts you), but by leasing her time ample time to persuade her self. And you must forgive me that, rooted in this conviction, I accept and endorse all the arguments in your last Jatter only to treat them as secondary if not irrelevant. The methods of Ulster are unlovely!" Why, of course they are. This Government has been fortunate Most people become unlovely when (from a party point of view) beyond any threatened with coercion; but since you of modern times in having to deal with a had to deal with Ulster-Ulster's peculiar Parliamentary Opposition that not only and congenital savagery should have been las found no fixed principle to follow, but. have rid itself of Mr. Balfour's a condition.
