London, May 10. - A constitutional
convention representing all parties in
Ireland is the most probable outcome
of the Irish problem.
In the Hobbies of the House of Com
mons, otter meetings Of the Ulster and
Nationalist parties, the belief prevail
ed that the Irish leaders would adopt
this one of the two alternatives Of
fered by Premier Lloyd George. The
other alternative was home rule with
the six Ulster counties excluded, but
with machinery provided by which
they might later be admitted.
Redmond Replies to Premier.
John Redmond, Nationalist party
leader, to whom Lloyd George ad-
dressed his letter offering a settle
mont has replied with letter to the
premier in which he said his COL
leagues were firmly opposed to the
home rule without Ulster. He further
said:
"The second alternative, the assem-
bling of convention of Irishmen of
all parties for the purpose of produc-
ing scheme for self-government,' has
much to recommend it.
"You ask: Would it be too much
to hope that Irishmen of all creeds
and parties might meet in conven-
ton for the purpose of drafting con-
stitution which will secure a just bal
ance Of all opposing interest and fin
ally compose the unhappy discords
which so long have distracted Ireland
and impeded it's harmonious develop
ment?' This is the great ideal, and
I trust it may be found possible Of
realization.

my colleagues and I at all events
will place no obstacle in the way, and
we are prepared to recommend this
proposal most earnestly to our coun-
trymen on condition that the basis
whereon the convention is to be call
ed is such to secure that it will be
fully and fairly representative of Irish
men Of all creeds, interests and par
ties and secondly that the convention
be summoned without delay"
Oppose Any Partition.
William O'Brien, leader of the In
dependent Nationalist, replying to the
Premier, said he was unalterably op-
posed to any scheme of partition. He
himself and his friends were prepar-
ed to give support to the proposal for
convention of Irishmen of all class
es and creeds.
