LONDON. FEB. 25.-The Irish leader.
John Redmond. in the House OF Commons
to-day moved an amendment to the address
In reply to The speech from the throne on
the subject OF the Irish land question.
Mr.. RedmoHd's speech was most conciiia-
tory. He said the amendment was not in
tended as a hostile demonstration against
the government but as a friendly warn
ing to the ministers that he and his
friends believed the government was en-
gagged in framing a great measure Of JUS
tiee and sppessement for ireland which. in
the words Of the kings speech. would
complete the abolition Of the dual owner
ship Of land."
All he wanted was an assurance from the
chief secretary for ireland that the govern
ment was engaged in an honest attempt 20
solve the problem on the lines suggested
by the recent land conference. which the
speaker said offered an u~nexampled oppor-
tunity to end the a~grarian troubles and
conflicts between CLASSES in Ireland
Compromise is Impossible.
Mr.. Redmond pointed out. that the com
promise proposed In the conference report
Was impossible without state aid and warned
the government that IL there was any at

the tenant could afford to pay and that
which the landlord could AFFORD to take.
Mr.. wyndhams in replying, declined to
commit himself to any Wholesale ofnciA

The Secretary concluded with expressing
The hope that the spirit Of good sense and

the theory that J. P. Morgan & Co. will ulti-

practically nothing to show that seaboard
