IRISH HOME
RULE SPEECH
Premier Asquith States Gov
ernment's Views on Plan
to Placate the
Ulsterites.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
LONDON, March 16.--Premier AS
quith in the house of commons today
made his promised statement on the
governments views as to Ulster oppo.
sition to Irish home rule, announcing
a determination which 1t is believed
may possibly change the British as
sembly.
Jammed to the doors, every gallery
full to overflowing, the premier gave
in great detail, the concessions the
government is willing to make to pla-
cate Ulster, declaring giving Irish
counties the right to vote on whether
they would accept an Irish parliament
for period Of six years was as far
as the administration could go. As
quith, while his words were practical
L ly mild, confirmed the recent state
ment OF Secretary Churchiil, that no
further concessions of any sort would
be made. He said If the proposals of
the administration for a counties
plebiscite were acceptable to the lead
ers OF Ulstermen, the government
would proceed to make such supple
mentary financial and administrative
adjustments of the home rule plan as
woII appear necessary. He insist
ed, however, that the government had
no idea of wasting its time by work
! ing out these details if it's proposals
looking to peace were rejected.
The premier's speech was received
with little enthusiasm by the opposi-
tion benches and on several occasions
murmurs of disagreement were SO
strong as to force him to pause. Fin
ally the premier put the straight ques-
ton to the opposition as to whether or
not the government proposals were
satisfactory to them.
Premier Asquith's direct challenge
to the opposition to reveal where
they stood on the Ulster matter
seemed to nonplus his opponents
1 While evidences of dissent were heard
/ from all over the chamber, not one oil
the unionist leaders arose to make di
rect reply and the impression was gen.
eral that rather than carry their oppo.
sition to the point of war. the Ulster
men and their friends in the commons
at the last moment will agree to ac-
cept the Administrations pbebiscite
