WHAT IS THE CONDITION
THE IRISH PROBLEM. SIR HORACE PLUNKETT'S VIEWS. Sir Horace Plunkett, In an interview, suggested the complete abolition of the old machinery of coercion and the release of political prisoneras There was no need for a complate withdrawal of the army pro vided that the army ceased to do police work
Let it be what it used to bema garrison for holding strategic points against the foreigner, not against the Irish, In the place of Castle rule a Provisional Government should be set up, consisting exclusively of Irishmen, and charged with He be- the task of maintaining order. Haved that if it was generally understood that this Government was Irish and was maintaining Irish law it would receive a general support in ity temporary task. The Irish were naturally orderly if left alune and there was a fair chance that they would take this opportunity of prot ing the fact..
Then the country should proceed to elect A National Constituent Assembly prefer. ably by Proportional Representation This Assembl would be charged with the construction of the Irm Constitution. Two points of doubt immediately arose. What would Ulster's attitude bel. He did not think it would be obstructive-provided there was a genuine willingness on the part of the South to give guarantees and pro-
Ther' can vincial rights and securities.
Of course it was the Sinn Fein issue. difficult to say what Sinn Fein really would accept because the Government denied them all means of self-expression. A persecuted movement, driven under- ground, naturally awings to the Left, but if persecution of a purely political nature ceased there might be a strong reaction to the Right. In this case Sinn Fein would. accept the Constituens Assembly as being an Irish institution, and would contribute to the creation of the new Constitution. Of course no one could prophesy with any big claims to aberracy, especially in a country where political conditions were changing so rapidly. What was really vital was the resurrection of confidence, and this could only be done by the closing down of Castle rule as now, understood,
In the poisoned air of to-day there could bo no healthy growth. Coercion and crime work in a vicious, circle, like prices and wages, and the circle had somehow to ber broken. At present constitutional thought. was crushed between the extremes of vio Mr. Lloyd lence and counter-violence. George's bill made the atmosphere worse rather than better, because it showed that England was very careful about. its pledges to the Irish minority of Ulster, and very lax about its pledges to the Irish majority of the South and West.
The suggestions he had made for recon- struction were purely tentative, but be could see no other basis for a settlement. If once the bitterness of feeling could be mollied by & reversal of administrative I a National Constituent policy the idea of a Assembly might receive support in quar tera which to-day were ful of allenness and despair. The demand for such" an assembly is supported by the Irish Domin ion League, a binly with a steadily growing influence.
A PACIFIC TREASURE ISLAND
The Treasure Island of Nauru, with its millions of tons of phosphate of lime the bighest grade soil fertiliser known, used to be valuable to the overworked agricul tural lands of Germany. Thousands of tons of the precious product were, before the war annually taken-to-Germany though the mizes were worked by British enterprise. Nauru-Island is a tiny speck of land in the Central Pacific Ocean, 33 miles south of the Equator, and about and Japan, that is, about 3,000 miles. It is 12 miles in circumference, and 5,000'ncTES in extent. Od account of the British-in- dustry for the mining and distribution of the phosphate rock it is one of the richest islands, for its extent, in the world. It is free from malaria and other island fevers, and though near to the Equator possesses a cool and healthy climata.

By one of those incomprehensible turus of diplomacy, in which the British lost and the Germans gained, this small but very valuable territory passed some years ago into the possession of Germany, and was attached for administration to the Mar- ahall Islands, 300 miles off, and now under the Japanese. It was British enterprise which discovered the valuable phosphate rock, and built up a splendid industry for its exploitation.
