Better Results War Spectre Influencing Members on
Both Sides of Controversy Discussed in House of
Commons

London, April pa compromise on
the question of home rule for Ireland
seemed nearer today than it ever has
been before. There existed a strong
belief in Parliamentary circles that
the conferences between the leaders of
the two great parties, which had been
unsuccessful in reaching any agree
ment last autumn, would shortly be
resumed.
The House of Commons discussed
the Ulster crisis again today when it
wound up the two-days debate on the
Chamberlain motion for a judicial in
quiry into the governments pilot to
crush the Ulster covenenters. The mo-
ton, which was virtually vote of
censure on the cabinet. was eventually
rejected by a party vote of s44 against
264.

ward reiterated his detestation of
home rule and repeated that If Ulster
were excluded from the bill until this
Parliament shall determine otherwise
instead of the six-years period which
Premier Asquith had offered, he would
submit the proposal to the people of
Ulster.
Sir Edward, in his reply to Mr..
Churchilfs invitation, declared all he
wanted for Ulster was such terms as
would conserve the dignity of the u
stermen and their civil and religious
freedom.
He concluded that in case the home
rule bill passed it would be his ear

the South and West of Ireland would
prove so successful that 1t might be

united Ireland. q
Premier Asquith concluded the de-
bate with an eloquent speech which
contained the statement that his Of

Ulster counties from the operation of

that the calamity facing the country
was so awful that some way to peace
must be found at any cost.
Mr.. Law said personal feelings

IF, in order to avoid the incalcul-
able horrors of civil war, We must set
up a separate Parliament in Dublin,
shall think it marks the failure of
my whole life's work.
