changed in the future. Mr.. Redmond
proceeded TO criticise the changed LIB

A. j. Balfour, government leader I'm
the house. said the local government
bill was not intended as step towards
home rule or as a compromise, but

Balfour added II firmly believe that
sooner or later the peoples of the two
islands will be as closely united as those
OF any nation in the world"
Thisr remark 'called forth Irish cries
OF Never" TO which Mr.. Balfour re-
torted: "The Irish members neither
desire nor hope that I both hope for
and desire it. From study of history
i am convinced that the scheme for n
subordinate parliament is not work.
