THE MAN POWER BILL
The Debate Continued.
London, April 12,
During the debate on the Man Power Bill in the Hour of Commons, Sir Mark Sykes made a speech which was
warnth received with
by every
pari of the House. He pointed out that sa the Government had decided to stand or fall on the question of Irish Conscription it was the duty of members to support the Government, but the Government must bring in a Home Role Bill ade- quate in character. He appealed to Sir Edward Carson to jay that if the Irish nation is in the war that Ulster is, in the Irish nation. "Sinn Fein would then be dead and a WAVE- of enthusiasm would secure an Irish army far beyond the hopes of the Government
Mr. Hugh Law, Nationalist, warmly tributed the spooch of Sir Mark Sykes as showing a brave, courageous and noble spirit. Mr. Basar Law claimed that the Government was doing nothing unjust. The Government had decided that from & military viewpoint, which alone could be considered, it was of advantage to their course. They would be crarens if they failed to carry it out The American Government had in response to our urgent appeal allowed its battalions to be" brigaded with ours. There was conscription of Americana many of whom were Irish. Were we entitled to urge the United States to conscript Irishmen when Irishmen at home" were not called up? The Home Rule Bill was in preparation and the Government would try to carry it simultaneously with the Man Power Bill. A Nationalist amendment was then rejected and the clause applying compulsion to Ireland was adopted by 281 to 135.
In the House of Commons on the Military Service Bill,, Sir.G. Care announced that the Government would not press for power to cancel exemptions ressived on medical grounds or grounds of conscientious objections.
The statement of the Ulater Council issued last evening says that the unheard of demands submitted to the Convention could only tend to ultimate separation and de lares that the Sinn Fein victories in bye-election prove that the Nationalist vote is controlled by traitors. We are asked to hand over the courty at a time of grave crisis to a system that unless restrai by military force would reduce it to the condition of revolutionary Bussia" It concludes that Ireland is now the most prosperous part of the United Kingdom and is bound in duty and honour to contribute a share in the cost incurred.
In the course of a conversation with pressmer Sir Horace Plunkett said the most he had hoped for was a substantial agreement not unanimity. The Convention had abolished the Irish question outside Ulster and later the situation would be so changed and it would be much easier to negotiate with Ulster. The Convention was not dissolved, but only adjourned sine dir. The partition of Ireland would be no settlement and it was better to wait than to start Home Bule with partition. The strength of the Ulster opposition was mainly on religious grounds. The various constitutions of the Dominions were discussed. but the circumstances of Ireland were peculiar. For example 25 per cent. of Ireland's business was done through England.
