published. The proposals which are signed by the Premier and described | Excellency the Governor (Sir R. E. merely as the broad outline of an attempted settlement, are prefaced by a Stubbs K.C.M.G.) statement in which the Government dwells on its desire to end the long- standing unhappy divisions between Britain and Ireland and points out that there is no part of the world where Irishmen have made their homes but suffers from our ancient feuds. The Government proposes that Ireland should forthwith assume the status of a Dominion by which she would enjoy complete autonomy in taxation and finance and paintain her own courts of law and judges, her own military forces for home defence, her own constabulary and police, and take over matters relating to the postal services, education, land, agriculture, mines, forestry, bousing, labour, un employment, transport, trade, public health, health insurance, and the liquor

traffic.

SIX CONDITIONS.

The Government proposes conditions of settlement in accordance with the foregoing principles embodied in a treaty to which the British and Irish Parliaments shall give effect. Settlement must allow for full recognition of the existing powers of the Northern Parliament which cannot be abrogated without the latter's consent.

The memorial is of unpolished, rough-hewn granite, mounted on a pedestal, and it bears this inscription:

191418 In memory of members: of this Club who gave their lives for their country." Around it at the close of the day's play on Sunday members grouped themselves bare headed and, in the regretted absence through indisposition of the Club Captain (Hon Mr. P. H. Holyoak), Mr. Justice Gompertz asked His Excellency to perform the ceremony.

His Honour said that, in the un- fortunate absence of the Captain of To sum up, Ireland shall exercise all the powers or which the autonomy the Club he had been depured by the of the self-governing Dominions is based. subject only to the following Committee to ask His Excellency conditions which the Government hold the opinion are vital to the welfare to be good enough to unveil the memorial erected by the members of and safety of both Britain and Ireland: (1) It is essential for the protesthe Club to their fellow members tion of Britain's communications that the navy alone control the seas who fell in the great war. around Ireland and Britain and tha: Ireland accord it essential peeds His Excellency the Governor said: in Irish harbours and coasts.

He expresses willingness to leave the question of Ireland's liability for a share of the national debt to two arbitrators or with an independent third alternatively in the latter case a nominee by the President of the United States. He presses confidence that complete peaceful reconciliation can be effected by the south with the North of Ireland if Britain stands aside bat if an immediate settlement is not obtainable he is willing that the question should be submitted to external arbitration. He concludes that his Govern ment would thus be ready to meet the British Government in everything reasonable just as Mr. Lloyd George's reply dated August 13:declares that no British Government can compromise upon a claim that it should acknowledge Ireland's right to secede froni its allegiance to the King,
