London. Nov. % No rssponsioic
Euglishman attempts to minimize ID
the slightest degree the present posi-
ton OF affairs in Ireland without
going into the merits Of the eNecu
tons Of the leaders Of the rebels, it ir
common knowledge that the number OF
Sim Feiners since the rebellion has
multiplied enormously. II Is pracu-
cally admitted that the country scethcs
with the bittercst hatred Of England
Take one small instance. 1t IS I'M
possible. whatever might be the wages
offered, to persuade an Irish maid ser
want to accept work across the Cham
mel
Englishmen generally, both from
policy and inclination, are anxious 70
put an end to this state Of AFFAIRS
which. in the midst Of desperate wat
can only be described as dangerous II
is no longer merely question OF home
Rule. There are two points involved
Of vital Importance to the British I'm
pire. One is that England is lighting
with a vicious enemy at her back Inc
other is that Ireland has, to all intents
and purposes. ceased TO send recruits
10 the British army, which needs them
badly.
Plan TO Solve Problem
The problem is whether a settlement
can be reached which will solve botn
questions at once. Among the inner
most governing circles bellet IS
growing that such a solution is posi-
bic ,.1
The central part Of the plan. when
NAV be put in operation any moment,
is the immediate enforcement OF
Home Rule, which has been on the
statute book for more than two years.
This move would do much TO remove
dissatisfaction in Ireland, and would
Internationally lessen the dlstrust o.
England. The next step, it IS sug-
gested, would be to make an. effort 70
carry on the government OF Ireland.
for the time being, by committee OF
six. giving two members to each OF the
three main sections in Ireland.
Redmond and Devlin would, OF
course. represent the Natonallsts
Carson. and possibly Colonel Craig
might represent the Orangemen. There
is good reason to believe that the SIM
Feiners would be content to leave
themselves in the hands OF George
Russell the famous Irish poet and
Sir Horace Plunkett.
Sim Fein Chief Obstacle
II these six could be induced to
work together 1T seems as II large
amount of union could be obtained IN
Ireland. II is thought that Sir Edward
Carson ard John Redmond would have
no objection to a cooperation OF TINS
Kind. There is more doubt whether
the Sim Feiners would consent TO as
sociate with the Nationalist.
That. roughly. ruling out the smaller
cross currents of Irish influence, Is the
solution suggested for the first prob
lem indicated. The six would act as
I'm executive committee, with practl-
callv plcnary powers. II Their admin
istration were successful. Il IS thought
the way would be paved toward the
second question, that Of obtaining re-
cruits for the British army.
All responsible people no" agree
that 70 attempt TO force consumption
ON the Irish in the present state OF
feeling would be simply inviting dis
aster Il is unquestionaoly matter
for persuasion and not force. And 1t
