Ireland would prove so successful that
it might be to listers interest to join
and form a United Ireland.
Premier Asquith. concluded. the de-
bate with an eloquent speech whlca
contained the statement that his offer
Of the temporary exclusion of the
Ulster counties. from. the operation Of
the home rule bill for a period of six
years remained open. He said he
considered Sir Edward Carson's state
ment a most important one and he
recognized and reciprocated its spirit.
A settlement, he declared, could not
be successfully negotiated by bargain
ing across the floor of the house or
commons and the questions at issue
could not be settled behind the backs
of the men of Ulster or Of the rest OF
Ireland.
Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the
opposition, who spoke before the
premier said the premier must
recognize that the calamity facing the
country was so awful that some way
to peace must be found at any cost.
He continued:
eff the premier does seek for. peace
we on this side Of the house will do
anything in our power to make a
peaceful solution possible"
Mr.. Law said personal feelings
should not count in the matter and if
Premier Asquith preferred to negotiate
with Lord L~ansdowne and Austen
Chamberlain instead Of with himself,
he would gladly welcome the sug-
g~estion.
Arthur j.. Balfour, former Unionist
Premier, in a moving p~eroration to his
speech justified Ulster in making civil
war. He said whole public life had
been devoted to the cause of the union
between Great Britain and Ireland
and concluded: .... $3.50

able horrors of civil war we must set
