Expresses Opinion
,,>.. / On Irish Troubles

The following interview with Sir
Horace Plunkett appeared in Wednes-
days Evening Sun:
Sir Horace Plunkett, one of the
foremost leaders of Irish sentiment
and who has the confidence of every
section Of Irish politics, including Ul-
ster, in an interview with a represen-
tative of The Evening Sun expressed
the opinion that provisional adjust
ment of the Irish problem will bring
Ireland and Great Britain into closer
harmony.
Sir Horace arrived aboard the Adri-
attic from Liverpool yesterday. For
some months he has been ill., and he
came to this country to restore his
health. Sir Horace devoted a consid-
cradle time to the discussion of the
Irish problem.
He is confident that the new British
government will succeed in bringing
the Irish question to settlement.
Do Away With Martial Law.
Among the several features of the
Irish problem which Sir Horace be-
lieves should and will be solved by
proper handling are these:
A government in Ireland which will
do away with the necessity for mar
tial law.
The adoption of other measures
than conscription, conscription in Ire
land itself being impracticable.
Sacrifice on the part of the Irish
sections over the Home Rule issue.
Sir Horace has appealed to Ulster to
join at once with Nationalist Ireland
and give Home Rule a trial for five
years.
Says Conscription Is impraetieabIe.
Conscription is impracticable. l do
not believe it could be carried
through. 1t would take more soldiers
to attempt to carry it out than would
be realized by the levy. There are
other measures which will be more
successful. When Irishmen have lost
their local point of view and have been
afforded an opportunity to gauge the
importance of this struggle unaffected
by prejudices of a political nature it
will not be possible to keep them out
of Europe.
Home rule is, of course, not now a
question between Ireland and England,
but one between sections of Ireland.
The ideal of a united Ireland is not to
be abandoned and l am convinced that
those who have held to the ideal will
not be appeased by the gift of half a
parliament to three-quarters of the
country.
A recent proposal for settlement of
the Irish question suggested a pro.
visional and wholly Irish system of
administration formed to carry on the
business of Irish government for the
duration of the war without prejudice
to whatever solution of the major
problem may be found possible there
after.
"Ulster herself might solve the
problem. 1t is time when we need
to close our ranks. Ulster and Ulster
alone can do a service which the Brit

Committee Meeting
TUESDAY EVENING

Next Tuesday evening, January 2,
1917, the joint committee of the La
dies Auxiliary and the Ancient Order
of Hibernians will hold meeting with
Division No. 2, Ladies' Auxiliary, at
80 Central avenue, where the finish
ing touches will make one of the big
gest Hibernian public gatherings ever
held in the city. Perhaps the most
encouraging reports received by The
Irish Standard is of the keen, but
good natured rivalry, which exists be-
tween the various divisions in the
county, to carry off the banner of sue
cess as the most wide-awake and pro-
gressive division present at the joint
installation, and from present indi-
cations it will be a division of the
A. o. H. with Is A. as a prefix, for
the ladies are certainly working en-
Enthusiastically for the success of the
venture and each division is just doing
its little bit, but each is trying to
do just little bit more. OF course
the men are working and doing their
share and especially the new county
president, who is adding zest and en-
thusiasm to the work in his spirited
way, which is bound to produce good
results.
Next week the completed program
will be released for publication and
The Irish Standard will publish it
with the names of all the officers to
be installed.
Through some inadvertence, The
Irish Standard omitted the name of
Sister Duggan from the joint com
mittee. Mrs. Duggan is one of the
most earnest workers in the Auxiliary
and her presence on the committee
was very much desired by both organ
izations.

Il was convinced that the Lloyd

Irish question by which twenty-six
counties were to have home rule at
once would not solve the difficulty,
would not diminish the necessity for
martial law, and on the contrary
would play into the hands of the most
violent section of the: Sim Fein group.
I urged provisional government
which would do away with the neces-
sity for home rule.
"My proposal was that the Irish
government so to speak, should go
into commission. Let its administra-
tion be placed in the hands of an
executive council, consisting of Irish
men of recognized, standing drawn
from different parts of Ireland and
fairly representatives of the main in

ANY Irish legislation would remain
in the imperial parliament where it
would be looked after by the Irish
representatives. The council would
be nominated by the prime minister,
in consultation with leaders OF the
Irish sections. The chief executive
officer Of the Irish government would
be secretary Of state for Ireland,
would have seat in the cabinet and
be responsible for Irish parliamentary

it would be we'll to have at the end of

ROOSEVELT ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY

1t seems from Colonel RoOsevets letter to Guy Emer
son. secretary Of the Roosevelt nOnparsan league, that
the colonel is out after the nomination of both the
progressves and republicans the two united as he eX
pressed it. 1t also seems that those who said he was will
ing to support Hughes any strong progressive were
not fully informed.
The Capital Journal few days ago interpreted his
description of the man whom he would support as mean
ing other than HIMSELF and many other papers put the
same construction on it. and apparently correctly so.
The colones announcement which is unequiv0cal, is
not capable of construction being statement that he will
take the nomination if he can get it, and that he will try
to accomplish this This puts an entirely different COM
plexion on the political situation.
Roosevelt is a shrewd politician, knows the game
it is played knowing most of the cards by their backs
The fact that he enters the openly at this time shows
that he at least thinks he can win He is resOurcefu
chary of advice and goes his own way That is what
changes the complexion of things What ne will do IN
case he is not nominated only he knows
What he can do if he chooses, everyone who has not
forgotten the election four years ago knows ne should
be defeated he either accept and stand IN with his
yctors or bring his party back to life Should ne do the
former there will be pretty fight perhaps but should ne
do the latter the history of 1912 will be repeated.
1t is three weeks yet until the conventions meet and
until they are over and the results known one will be
able to say what the colonel will do and not then until he
makes his intentions public.
1t can be stated though that the colonel is not an eX-
pert at turning the other cheek and it is pretty safe bet
he will get the republican nomination. OF he will get the
same thing at the hands of his party 1t remains to
be seen which is the larger the G. 0. ?. or T. R.

PATRIOTISM UNKNOWN IN MEXICO

The Mexican situation is pretty thoroughly shown in
the statement made by ObegOn after the conference
was concluded Yesterday He sad "Carranza saved me
from myself lie knows am fool and had he accepted
the American, agreement would have been dead cock
in the pit" That is just Carranzas position too The
ignorant Mexcans would have turned against him and he
would have lost his job 1t shows also the kind OF patriot
ism that pervades Mexico CaITanza and ObregOn would
rather see their country plunged into than to have
some other take their places leaders They are too
short sighted to see that if they will not only
lose their leadership but will be so placed by the Amer
leans that neither of them can crop up candidates
for the presidency when the first election is held for the
purpose of restoring the government.
However the matter is now out of Obregons hands
and it is between Carranza and the administration In
the meanwhile there is danger of clash at any moment
that will send the fat into the fire and start the con-
flagraton 1t looks as though there could be no other
solution of the matter.
