Lord Barrymore, speaking at the an
nual meeting of the County Cork
branch of the Irish Landowners asso-
CATION on Saturday, said the landlords
mad put forward their views, and it was
nigh time the other side should put
forward theirs, and then the govern
ment could take these views and see
whether anything could be made out
OF them. If the chief secretary wished
TO hear views of landlords and tenants
at the same time he did not see any
objection. There was one thing more
important than the conference question.
and that was-was there going 60 be a
split in the landlords ranks. He was

determined to press on the conference

result would be that they would be di-
Vlded into two camps. A resolution
confirming that passed at the conven-
ton in Dublin on the conference queS-
ton was agreed to.

Testimony of Genuine Convert.
When Mr.. T. w. Russell started out
on his political career he was deter
mined enemy of the idea of Ireland for
the Irish, and down to a few years ago
he gave an unwaVering support to the
policy Of ruling the country by coer-
cion. The change which has come over
his views, by reason of long acquaint-
ance with Ireland as ii is, is certainly
startling. Here is his picture of the
situation today:
What is the use of talking of united
empire-with Ireland in a state of
yelled rebellion? What is the use of
talking even about a united kingdom
,f7.r9e-
down by armed men, with trial by jury
suspended, with police manufacturing
and promoting outrageS, with public
discussion of paramount issues carried
on at the risk of imprisonment and
hard labor? Take the west of Ireland.
Look at the Westport Union. 1t has a
population of 1881. The poor law val
uation of the agricultural land is 6 49,
962 little more than 81 per head. Out
of 1926 rated occupierS within the union
8, 041 are under ga valuation; 1,04S more |
are rated between ga and SIS. You can
picture the misery of the situation by
what these figures represent But |
alongside this fearful misery, siXty-six |
graziers have $3.50 acres, and thirteen
landlords Craze 30, 146 additional acres. |
The whole thing is a sin against Gods !
lava crime against humanity. But If |
I said this in County Mayo l should De |
hauled before two crimes act magis- /
trates. I should get three months with |
hard labor for saying it. l should get |
three additional months if ! failed to /
give bail that 1 would not say it again. |
This is an absolutely correct description |
Of the facts and of the law. 1t is |
state of affairs such as this which |
drives Irishborn men to frenzy, which !
makes an "Unspeakable Scot" like my |
-a1F HI in oh "a W
thinks of what is called the government !
Of Ireland"
No Irishman could paint the picture
more graphically than this converted (
'unspeakable Scot. standard and
Times.
