LONDON. Aug 14.--Mr. Churchill. First
Lord OF the Admiralty. has written an
other letter in reply to Bonar Law. He
says Mr.. Laws representation of his
and Sir Edward Carson's indictments Of
violence as solemn warnings to the Gov
ernment strongly resembles a bluff
They were not warnings" he says.
but indictments OF Orangemen. The de-
testable incidents which have since hap
pened In Belfast show how well their
hearers interpreted what they said II
the party leaders Of the past had allowed
their thoughts to turn so readily to
bloodshed Britain would have shared
the follies and the fate Of Poland"
As to the necessity Of Bonar Laws
professed alarm. Mr.. Churchill points
out that many months must elapse be-
fore the home rule bill becomes a law.
then there will be another long period
before II can he put In operation. and
probably n third indefinite period befor"
the slightest oppression or prejudcial
treatment could touch Ulster Mr..
Churchill then says:
III listers PrOtes.ants are going TO
he coerced into submission by an Irish
Parliament and IL Bonar Laws fire.
Ouent predictions that the tnionists
will soon supplant the Liberals In the
Government is correct. then II will he
ne who will control the executive when
the crisis comes.
"Ronar Law may try to scramble out
OF his mess as he chooses. but the con-
sequences Of his actien will pursue him
and those Identified with him. He has
drawn a black check - indefinite cur
rencr against the whole resources Of the
Cnionist party which any ruffian or
any lunatic may present any morning
for payment filled In by the hand Of
crime"
The Dundee Adrertiser. the principal
Liberal newspaper Of MIR. Churchill's
constituency. asserts that 1t knows that
the Government is closely watching the
sayings and doings of Bonar Law. Sir
Edward Carson and their associate
leaders. The paper says;
"It Is doubtful II anything they have
said or done hitherto brings them within
the law. but there is ground for be-
lieving that lawless acts are preparing.
which will bring their inf1ammatory
speeches into legal relationship with
facts. In the event Of disturbance the
Government will act with the utmost
rgor and with stern Indifference to
the position OF the offenders
Noteworthy in connection with the
foregoing IL Mr.. Churchiis course In
answering Ronar Law in a letter to-day.
Mr. Churchill says in a later state
ment;
THE position. both local and general.
IL far more serious than Bonar Laws
present explanations imply. and his
part therein and responsibility therefor
are nowise covered by what he now
says.
His colleague. Sir Edward Carson. is
the moving spirit Of an organization
which has openly avowed the intention
to establish a provisional government
There has been a large importation Of
arms to the Orange districts and there
is widespread drilling and training In
the use OF weapons"
This is the first open admission by
the Government Of warlike preparations
In Ulster. which has been generally
ridiculed as bugaboo by the Minister
ialists.
