HOME RULE BILL..

CARSON NOT FIGHTING.

PREMIER'S REPLY TO DEBATE,

LONDON, March 31.

In the House of Commons Sir Edward Carson opening the conclusion of the Home Rule debate, while recording unalterable opposition to the whole policy of Home Rule and disclaiming responsibility for the scheme, said it would have been easy for him to say he would continue to fight to the fish, but the cardinal facts were that the act of 1914 was on the statue book and pledges had been given to Ulster. Mary old friends were calling him a traitor because he was not fighting to the end, but he had been offered a Parliament for six counties and he could not ask Ulster get rites to fight for what was offered peaceably. His duty was clear. He would not vote for the Bill but he would not prevent it passing. He challenged the Labourites to go to the country with the announced deter- mination to drive Ulster under a Sinn Fein Parliament in Dublin by the forces of the Crown, or to give Ireland an actual or potential Republic, or to tell the electorate what would be the conditions of the western ports of Ireland as havens and harbours for the enemy in the event of another war. The last war could not have been won under such conditions.

Referring to the assassinations in Ireland he expressed the opinion that they were not committed by Irishmen, but by ill-conditioned men returned from America. It was agreed that the present Bill modified the objection to the Act of 1914. He declared if anyone able to speak for South Ireland and West Ireland appealed to him on the ground of patriotism to do his best to start good temperedly to govern under the new Irish parliaments be would most heartily agree and would anticipate the speediest union in one Parlia" ment-loud cheers)but unfortunately that was not yet their task. He promised that Ulster would do its level best with her Parlament.

Mr. Adams on, dealing with Mr. Bonar Law's question of whether the Labour party was prepared to give Ireland a republic, pointed out that the granting of Dominion Home Rule had not resulted in the establishment of any independent republics. On the contrary the Colonies granted it had been earnest friends and supporters of the Mother Country. Why then should the grant of Dominion Home Rule to Ireland be dangerous? Per- sonally be suggested either the grant of full self-government to Ireland with provision for the protection of minorities, questions of defence and foreign Felations being reserved for the Imperial Parliament, or an Assembly representing the whole Irish people by proportional representation. They should draft a new constitution with a similar provision and reservation.

Mr. Lloyd George, who was loudly cheered, emphasised the difficulty was that no proposals acceptable to any party in Britain would be accepted by any party in Ireland. The debate clearly demonstrated that the Government's plan held the field. Undoubtedly the majority of Irish men wanted independence and an Irish Republic. Was there a single party in the Commons that would support them? It was useless to talk of self-determination. The supporters thereof must go the full length of granting an Irish Republic. Self-determination did not mean that every part of a country which had been acting together for a century was entitled to say it meant to establish a separate Republic.

Mr. Lloyd George declared that if any section of Wales wished to establish a Welsh Republic he would oppose it as far as possible. If Brittany demanded self-determination it did not mean that France, who favoured the principle of self-determination, ought to accede to the demand. He asked the leader of the Labourites if he favoured the application of the principle of self-determination to Ireland...

Mr. Clynes, after hesitation, said not as Mr. Lloyd George had defined it. Mr. Lloyd George said that meant the Labour Party was opposed to any Irish demand for a Republic. He expressed gratification at that and he told the Labourites not to mislead the irish electorate. (Loud cheers.) He asserted that no section of Ireland would accept Mr. Asquith's plan. As no party in Great Britain would accept the proposal favoured by the majority of Irish opinion, the British Government with its responsibility for the United Kingdom_and_the_whole_Empire_must_exercise its wisest conaldered judgment. He refuted Mr. Devlin's criticism regarding the Irish Parliament's restricted powers and asserted that if Scotland and Wales, which were as intensely patriotic and national as Ireland, were offered a similar measure, they would gratefully accept it. Mr. Asquith's“ picture of the Irish Council as a fleshless skeleton was not remotely) accurate. He asked why a union should be forced on Ireland at the outset when Irishmen could not achieve that for themselves.

Unity would much depend on the attitude" of southern Sinn Feiners. Referring to the recent motion in the United States Senate he pointed out that the ancestors of some who supported the motion fought to the death against conceding the southern United States the very demand they were cow supportin z..for Ireland. If that demand persisted it would lead exactly to the same measures of repression as in the southern states of America. We claimed nothing more than the United States claimed for themselves. (Loud cheers.) We would stand no less. (Loud cheers.) Certain powers. like customs control, might be conferred on Ireland if she settled down and accepted the union, but at present it would be placing dangerous weapons in the hands of an infuriated people. He concluded with the sanguine be lief that the bill would lead to union though not within one, two or three years

The Home Rule bill passed the second reading by 348 votes to 61

SETTLED STRIKE.

LONDON, March 31,

The Easter tramway and bus strike is still uncertain. A meeting of || employers and employees at the Ministry of Labour is endeavouring to find a basis for compromise. It is understood there is a possibility of a settle ment on a 6s. weekly increase. Six Eric Geddes, to-day introduced in the House of Commons a bill enabling the tramways to increase fares with a view to meeting the demands for higher wages.

LONDON, March 31-
