During the debate unon the address in
the House Of Commons, Mr., Malcolm, con-
servative Member for Croydon, asked the
terms of the understanding between the
Government and the Na'ionalists and criti-
cized the obscurity of the statements. The
Land Act, he sad, had killed the demand for
Home RUE, which he protested against
smuggling through by u single Chamber
Government. Lord Hugh Cecil supported.
Mr.. Asquith answered that Home Rule
would be the first business after removing
the obstacles to progressive legislation the
congestion of the business OF the House
OF Commons was removable only by esta-
blishing an Irish executive aud an Irish
Parliament for Irish affairs while sus-
tanning the indispensable supremacy of this
parIiament. Mr.. John Redmond said he
accepted this declaration Of policy, which
the Nationalist believe honestly will be
a final settlement, and he pledged their
acceptance so far as possible. He was
no separati8t, the NationaIists accept
imperial supremacy and invite the Govern
ment to mako it effective, and it was not too
much to hope that the present Kings reign
would be made glorious by his personally
opening the parliament Of a recouciled ana
friendly Irish nation. (Irish and Liberal
cheers). Mr.. Churchill said the reconcilia-
ton Of the English and Irish, and the rally
ing of the Irish nation 10 the support Of the
monarchy were equivalent to battleships and
armies, moreover the relations with all the
autonomous colonies would be made more
intimate md cordial. Mr.. Birrell said that
Ireland alone was able to deal adequately
with Irish affairs, it was impossible to legis-
late suitably for Ireland at Westminster.
and he promised that the Governments Irish
lin u,.,,,ll f.li~-, 4hn Vato Bill promptly.
Mr.. Archer Redmond made his maiden
speech and was complimented BY Sir Edward
Carson as illustrating heredity (cheera). Mr..
Malcolm's amendment was lost by 1926 to
213, the Governments largest majority as
yet. The debate was marked by loyalty and
good temper, a marked change from the pre-
yious rule of rnncour aud invective.
MyIius has Withdrawn his appeal.
