The estimates for the service year which
were not voted by the last Parliament

to his motion. said that Parliament had
never assembled under more hopeful or
Interesting circumstances. He referred
to the cessation of the Chinese-Japanese
war; and also to the acts of barbarism
that had been committed in China and
Armenia. He then said
sIt is not to be supposed that because
ireland is not mentioned in the Queen s
Speech that country is to be neglected.
Antipathy against Home Rule does not
mean that the government viii not seek
the social and industrial welfare of Ire
land.D
