REDMOND SCORES
ULSTER OPPONENT
BRUTAL, ARROGANT ATTEMPT TO
OVERRIDE PEOPLE, SAYS
IRISH LEADER.

LONDON, Sept 2s.--John Red
mond. the Irish Nationalist leader
in speach at Cahirciveen, county
Kerry. Ireland today elaborated the
brief statement which he made two
weeks ago in regard to a conference
on the Irish question, when he said
the home rule bill would have to be
passed first and then 1t would be
easy enough to confer on the details
of its administration. In his speech
today Mr.. Redmond emphasized his
refusal to participate in any confer
ence unless the principle of home rule
was recognized.
Lord Loreburn's suggestion of a
conference, MIR. Redmond said might
possibly have averted (though he
doubted it) some of the troubles they
might have to face If 1t had been
received in a spirit of Cancellation and
friendliness. but it had been rejected
with brutal insoience by the only
was supposed to be needed.
The reception of Lord Loreburn' $
suggestion, said Mr.. Redmond, must
have convinced everybody of the true
character of the so-called Ulster OPP
position. 1t was implacable and ir-
reconcillable, and was not based on
reason or argument Its root was
the old spirit or ascendaHcy. IT was
brutal, arrogant determination to
override the will of parliament, and
of the country, at any risk. or at any
cost.
ANY home rule conference must,
of necessity, be based upon the ad-
mission of an Irish parliament with
an executive responsible to II. That
is the starting point, but after all that
has happened there is really no use
in wasting any more words of this
matter. our ship Is at the harbors
mouth, the glass is set fair and the
orders are for fun steam ahead.
