London, July l3th.-Mr. John Redmond
issued a statement characterising the speech
of the Marquis of Lansdowne in the House
of Lords on Tuesday as a declaration of war
on the Irish people. He says also that the
speech was a breach of faith apparently made
with the intention of wrecking the negotia-
lions for a compromise. AS deserving of spe-
cial notice, Mr.. Redmond cites the following
passage from Lord LaEsdowne's speech: "It
is a Bill which will make structural ~aItera-
tons in the Act of 1914 already on the
Statute Book, therefore it will be permanent
and enduring in character. But it is an Act
which will contain at other points temporary
provisions such as, for example, those deal
ing with the House of Commons which it is
proposed to set up in the near future" Mr.
Redmond proceeds: 'This would be. a great
breach of faith, and I desire to state that
I adhere strictly to the terms which were
submitted to us by Mr.. Lloyd George,
and any departure in the direction indi-
Gated i'll Lord Lansdownes suggestion
would, so far as we are concerned, bring
the negotiations absolutely to an end.
The agreement arrived at was that the
Home Rule Act of 1914 was to be put into
operation as soon as possible, subject to GER
tain notifications which we're all to be on the
same footing. One of the notifications was
that the Act should not extend to six coun-
ties in Ulster, md there was retention of
the full representation of Ireland in the
Imperial Parliament. These and other modi-
f~cations are to remain in force during the
continuance of the War and for q period of
twelve months thereafter. But, if Parlia-
ment has before the termination of that
period made further and permanent provis-
ion for the Government of Ireland, the per-
iod for which those notifications are to re-
main in force shall be extended by an Order
in Council for such terms as may be necessary,
in order to enable Parliament to make such
provision. The Bill to carry out the agree
ment come to must and will of course be in
all it's provisions and details strictly temper
airy and provisional.
