Ulster Exclusion
Is Part of New
Irish Proposal
Dublin Parliament lnclud.
ed in Plan Leaders Will
Get To-day
By BRIGGS

London. May l5.--Andrew Bonar
Law. Chancellor OF the EXchequer. an
nounced in the House of Commons to-
day that Premier Lloyd George would
make a communication TO the Irish
leaders on the Irish question which
would be in their hands by tomorrow.
The government. he added, was pre-
pared 70 allot Monday for discussion
of the question.
The Times" announces the govern
ments plan for the settlement Of the
Irish question as follows:
The project is understood to re-
solve itself under the following chief
heads:
"First-Immediate establishment OF
an Irish Parliament in Dublin.
STANDARDIZATION of Southeast
Ulster by clean-cut act.
Third Formation Of a grand coun-
Gil. consisting in equal proportions OF
members of the Dublin Parliament and
Ulster members of the Imperial Parlia-
ment. 10 transact all common business
between the excluded area and the rest
of Ireland and to have power to direct,
if it thinks fit. that any enactment OF
the Dublin Parliament shall apply TO
the excluded area
at will be seen that the government
has not adopted the expedient Of ex-
clusion by county option, which for a
time fascinated the Nationaiisrs. but
apparents attracts them no longer.
Partition is avoided and the essential
unity of Ireland is preserved by the
device of a grand council. which. it is
hoped. will pave the way for fuller
and more intimate union"
John Dillon charged the govern
ment with abandoning and breaking
its promise TO make the statement &c
the House. Mr. Law denied this. He
said it would not be the best method
simply TO announce the proposals 10
the House before the party leaders
had an opportunity Of judging them The
government. he continued. had said il
would do its best to effect settle
ment. and it still had that intention.
Whatever view was taken regarding
the governments proposals by the
Irish leaders. the government state
ment would be made in the House of
Commons on Monday

Tells Gompers and British
Delegates He Will Guard
Their Interests
Workers Pledge Help
President Assures Visitors
That All Sacrifices Will
Be Voluntary

Washington, May 10. Following a
joint conference Of the British labor
delegates and officials Of the American
Federation OF Labor here to-day, the
conferrees called at the White House
and were received by the President.
Introducing the British guests. Samuel
Gompers assured the President that
labor was united in standing behind
him"
Addressing the delegates. President
Wilson said:
81 have been very much alarmed al
one or two things that have happened
at the apparent inclination OF the Leg
islature OF one or two of our states TO
set aside even temporarily the laws
which have safeguarded standards Of
labor and Of life
II do not doubt that any body Of men
representing labor in this country,
speaking for their fellows. will be will
ing 70 make any sacrifice that is neceS-
sary in order to carry this contest 70
a successful issue. ard in that conf
dence | feel that il would be ineXcus-
able if we deprived men and women OF
such spirit Of any Of the existing
safeguards Of law.
Therefore / shall exercise my intiu-
ence so far as II gOc, 20 see that that
does not happen and that the sacrhces
we make shall be made voluntarily and
not under the cOmpulsion which mis-
takenly is interpreted TO mean a lower
ing of the standards which we nave
sought through so many generations 10
bring TO their present level.
There are many forms of democratic
government and we are not fighting Tor
anv particular form, but we are hght-
ing for the essential part OF IT all
namely. that we are all equally inter-
ested in our social and political life
and all have a right TO voice IN the
government under which We live, and
that when men and women are equally
admitted to those rights we have the
best safeguard Of justice and peace
hat the world affords. There IS no
other safeguard.
Let any group of men. whatever
their original intentions, attempt 10
dictate TO their fellow men what their
political fortunes shall be- and the
result is injustice and hardship and
wrong Of the deepest sort. Therefore
we are just now feeling as we have
never felt before out of a sense Of
comradeship. We shall feel IT even
more because we have not yet made the
sacrifices that we are going to make;
we have not yet felt the terrible press
uro of suffering and pain of war, and
we arc going presently to feel it.
81 have every confidence that as ITS
pressure comes upon US our spirit VIII
not faIter. but rise and be strength
cned. and that in the last We shall have
a national feeling and national unity
such as never Gladdencd our hearts
before"
