DUBLIN. Via London, May 1S.-
The government plan for the settle
ment of the Irish question has re-
ceived no good word from anybody
in Ireland. Nationalists, whether
supporters of John Redmond, agree
in condemning the proposals. They
are regarded as the worst yet put
forward and as putting the clock
back behind the position Sir Edward
Carson, the Ulster leader, assumed
at the Buckingham Palace confer.
ence in 1914. 1t is pointed out that
they exclude six counties EN- bloc
without giving them chance OF
voting their views.
Many of the Nationalists express
their opinion that the partition policy
was adopted as tactical move to
defeat home rule and that once home
rule was recognized as inevitable
even the Unionist counties would
vote themselves in, especially the
Episcopalian Protestants, whose
church is bound by many ties to all
Ireland.

HOME rule AMENDMENT
CONDEMNED BY IRISH

It is further pointed out that the
not only prevent the Nat
ionalist counties of Tyrone and Fer
managh from voting themselves In,
but hinder their coming in later by
providing for their inclusion with
the others in one unit.
The home rule finance was based
on the fact that Ireland cost f2,-
600, 900 more yearly than she paid;
she is now paying e25,0O0,OOO in
stead of e11.OOO,OOO and the pre-
mier's reference to the financial side
of the situation means, it is said,
that a portion of her own money
will be given to Ireland.
The suggested convention of all
representative Irishmen, however.
is cordially welcomed by all sections
of the Nationalists who regard It as
based on a full concession of the
home rule principle. 1t is thought
possible, however, that the unlonists
may not wish to join in the com
vention.
