IRISH DEBATE.

NO SURRENDER TO CRIME.

Sir Hamar Greenwood said that the Roman Catholic Church was admittedly impotent to break down terrorism. Only the British forces could do this. The boycott was also breaking down. He depicted the agony of the police and military during the past two years and contended that such rendered the reprisals more easily understandable. He stated}

LONDON, October 20... The House of Commons was crowded when the Labutir leader. Mr. Henderson moved a joint Labour and independent Liberal vote of censure on the Government for its administration in Ireland and demanded an ígvestigation into reprisals by the forces of the Crown. Mr. Henderson, in a speech, declared that the military terrorism inaugurated in Ireland was totally opposed to the best traditions of the British people. cited (instances of reprisals.

He defended the Government forces and declared that the discipline in the army in Ireland was unequalled in any comtry, but he admitted that there had been cases of reprisals after the brutal murder of policemen in which he was convinced the villagers who suffered the reprisals were implicated. He mentioned Balbriggan which he deplored because it meant a break in the splendid discipline of the police, but it

Sir Bamar Greenwood declared that the Government was breaking dowu the campaign of terrorism and murder which was intended to smash the Samshui and Tuchow British Empire, and be foresaw the end of the rule of assassination at no distant date.

Mr. Asquith agreed that the police and military when hit were entitled to hit back again and to defend themselves within every legitimate bound ary, but the enquiry demanded by Mr. Henderson was because there was prima facie evidence that the limit had been exceeded.

Mr. Bocar Law dwelt on the property destroyed by terro- rils which was accres of times greater than that involved in the reprisals. The Government did not intend that the forces on which we depended for Fecurity of life and property in Ireland should entertain doubt that it was zot backing them. He pointed cut that the number of reprisals had greatly diminished since the issue of orders condemning them. The Government would have an inquiry undertaken lairly by people realising the respon sibilities and dangers of the position but not by poisible enemies.
