LIBERALS REPLY TO BALF0UR

LONDON, December 1.-The first men,
bers returned to the new parliament will
be unionists. In many constituencies
nominations will be made tomorrow. and
in at least nine instances there will be
no contests. These include the city OF
London seats and those held by Joseph
Chamberlain and Jesse Ceilings OF Bir
mingham and George Wyndham of Dover.
The weather for the campaign scarcely
could be worse. Outdoor meetings planned
at many places necessarily have been
abandoned. The house-to-house canvass
ing. however, continues, and there Is no
let-up in the usual indoor demonstrations.
The leaders are keeping hard at it. Home
Secretary Churchill is leading the van Of
the government forces. addressing two or
three meetings every evening, besides
making brief speeches during the day
while travelling from one end Of the
country to the other
Speakers Kept Busy.
Frederick z. Smith. a barrister and
writer on international law, unionist
member for the Walton division of Liv-
erpool, is running q good second to the
secretary. while Chancellor Lloyd-Georse.
John Burns and other effective speakers
from both sides are keeping busy.
lord Lansdowne is showing great
energy in support Of his proposals for
TN. Tn reform OF the house Of lords. Today
he addressed a big meeting at Ports
mouth in the interests of Lord Beres-
! ford. whose seat for Portsmouth is seri-
ously threatened by the liberals. Sir Ed
ward Grey has arranged to reply to
LansdoWne. The weather incapicated
ofAo
the number being Lewis Harcourt, secre-
tary of state for the colonies, and Regi-
maid McKenna, first lord Of the admir-
atty.
The women, as usual In England, are
taking a prominent part in the canvass
ing and residents of the East End, where
the working class communities live, are
frequently diverted by the appearance of
motor cars filled with fur-clad women.
Liberals Attack Balfour.
The ultimate effect of the opposition's
attempt to unload the tariff reform Is
sue for the purposes of the present cam
paign is still In doubt. While the union
lists were greatly encouraged by Mr..
Balfour's sudden and surprising an
nouncement that he would not object
to the submission Of the question, to a
referendum, the leaders bold stroke has
far from disheartened the liberals. who
find therein good ammunition and are
accusing their opponents Of changing
their policy daily in a desperate effort
to catch votes and so secure power at
any cost.
Moreover, the more ardent tariff re-
formers who Yesterday congratulated Mr..
Balfour on his skilfuI maneuvering, were
not so ready today to indorse his pledge.
Speaking at Manchester, Andrew Bonar
Law, unionist member for Dulwich di-
vision of Camberwell, refused ''to eat
my words" adding that If the unionists
polls they would be bound to enact
tariff reform measure.

ton will be is impossible to say. but one
thing is certain, the policy Of the All for
Ireland League has raised the question
Of home rule, whether for Ireland alone
or as part of an arrangement along fed
eral lines affecting the whole United
Kingdom, to q position from which 1t
cannot be dislodged.
"If that policy be pursued Ireland will,
when the time comes, as come 1t must
heard and make good her case. A rea.
sonable settlement, with the assent OF
all moderate men in Ireland and the
consent Of all moderate men In Great
Britain, will be within her grasp If only
ireland to herself be true"
'sPeace With Honor" Party.
Mr.. o'Briens speeches are all along the
lines Of Lord Dunraven's appeal. and the
latest word from Ireland Is that many
merchants and sober-minded workingmen
are rallying to the standard Of what Mr..
Timothy Healy terms the peace with
honor party.
On the other hand, Mr.. Redmond is

that, according to English and irish
newspapers, is driving into the uniontst
ranks many I'm lish.nen VINO would a
vor home rule for Ireland based on lines
that would not endanaeI the presuge oi
England or set up a hostile Independent

What the outcome Of this internecine
strife will be the future alone can tell,
but thousands of Irishmen who have fol-
lowed the fortunes Of the home rule
party for years are uniting with Mr..
O'Brien in his all-for-Ireland movement,
which is based purely on home support,
and which. it's founders declare, aims ~

Police Were Attacked.

1t is true that few combatants were
seriously injured, but this was due to the
effective work of 100 policemen, who dis
suaded the followers Of Mr.. Redmond
from invading the section where Mr..
O'Brien's supporters are strong. The po-
lice were badly battered during the fight
ing, which continued intermittently for
twenty-four hours, but after being tar
gets for hOusetop stone throWers and
bOmbardments from windows and other
points of vantage they finally conquered.
There has been fighting galore, too, in
other parts Of Ireland, where Mr..
O'Brien's candidates have been assailed
by the nationalists and vice versa.
William O'Brien is carrying the war
into the enemy's counties, and thirty
''all for Ireland candidates are contest
ing elections with Mr.. Redmond's men
Mr.. OBrien is supported by Irishmen
who have hitherto been identified with
the unionist cause. but who are tired Of
the interminable conflict between north
and south in what was once termed 1.-The
most distressful country.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-12-01

AS an instance of the support that is
being given to Mr. O'Brien. here are
some extracts from an appeal by Lord
Dunraven:
Just when the final triumph of concil-
iation and peace seemed assured. when
a settlement by the consent of both Brit
ish parties was in sight. the suicidal poll
icy OF the official Irish party snatched
that hope from the grasp Of Ireland and
tossed our country into the field. a mere
foot ball In the party struggle. Here the
same spirit that killed land purchase and
forced additional taxation upon us has
now ruined. for time. the fairest politi-
cal prospect Ireland ever had.
IA more disastrous error cannot be i'm
agiEed. And for what has it been COM
mitted? Once the cry was ireland first
BY this mad method Of handing ireland
over to the immediate purposes of Mr..
Redmond's socialist allies Ireland will
find herself disappointed, duped and be-
trayed.

Predicts Ruinous Result.

1.-THE policy OF sacrificing all Irish in
terests to socialist and radical necessi-
ties can only produce ruinous results.
Settlement by Cancellation Is the only
possible settlement. The situation can
be saved only by the efforts Of the All
for Ireland League. fighting manfully
under the banner inscribed All for Ire

ration. That is impossible. and IL pos-
sible would be fatal. England Is our
market. The position Of Ireland without
representation in the imperial parliament
would be intoierable. Even IL separation
were beneficial to Ireland it is unattain-
able. England has tho right to safeguard
herself. To strive for the impossible is a
waste of energy.

After careful consideration, the feeling
