Minister can, if he likes, to-day impose almost any Irish policy on his colleagues and the nation would support him. So, at least, I read the situation.
Now, where does Mr. Lloyd George stand?. By the record of his marked reticence on the Irish question during the years 1912 to 1914, and by his most outspokea utterance in March, 1917, it is quite clear he has been tempera- mentally convinced of the con- tention that there are two nations in Ireland. He is a Home Ruler, and because he is a Home Ruler, says that he will not the Ulster nation put under

we have never heard whether Mr. Lloyd George thinks that Ulster is a part of Scotland: assuredly he does not think it a part of Wales, or of England. He is pro- bably too intelligent not to per- ceive that these are a, separate people, yet more akin to the rest: to any other of Ireland than stock-connected with it far otherwise than merely geograp- hically. My hope is that with his long experience of Parliament gained as a Home Ruler, he may see the advantage of separating Irish affairs completely from the interplay of British politics. It is chimerical to expect that he will propose a solution which treats Ulster as a mere quantitative minority in a nominally united Ireland. But one may hope that certain counties at Ireland are not Irish and must be governed as English shires.
