London Newspapers Speak of It with
Warm Approval.
DUBLIN, April Is Commenting on the
new Irish land bill introduced in the
house of commons by the chief secretary
for Ireland. Gerald Balfour, the Free
mans Journal says. ''It should be
amended and not rejected"
The Independent says; 1T is distinct
advance upon any scheme yet proposed.
The Express says: 1T is clear that the
government is guided by generous and
statesmanlike conception of the prob
lens
In introducing the bill Gerald Balfour
said the government believed the land
question was at the root of the agitation
for home rule. The bill provided to ia
cilitate the purchase of holdings and pre-
vented the lessee from having rent levied
on his improvements. IL proposed that
the tenant should be deemed, on the pay
ment of two years arrears To be i'm just
possession of his holdings, leaving the
landlord to recover the remainder of his
arrears in the ordinary way. The gov
ernment has decided not to alter the
statutory term of fifteen years for fixing
fair rent Purchase, however, would
not be compulsory, as such a scheme
would require possibly 600, 900, while
the terms could not be SO advantageous
