Britain's Position Regarding War Debts.

The question of the remission of war debis was most importan'.

The House of Common, despite the Derby, was crowded for the Irish debate Lord Fitzalan; Lord Birkenhead. Mr. Collins. Mr. Griffith and Mr. Duggan were present in the galleries.

The Government was in no wise disposed to relax its vigilance or responsibility with regard to the faithful carrying out of the Treaty. The provision in the compact for including four anti- Treaty members in the new Government struck directly at the Treaty. but if the four were willing to sign a bang de declaration of ad- berence to the Treaty, the Imperial Governmen: would have no ground for complaint.
