The late Government. be continued. had not veturcd

The position of affairs in Ireland was such that the
Government might be obliged to ask Parliament to
deal with the question earlier than usra chsers but
the Government would not buy peace by doing injus-
tce by blackmail The discussion of Dir ParnePs
proposas was an act of gross Injustice to Irish land
lords.
