New Home Rule Crisis
Is Looked on in London
With No Little Anxiety

bE Associated Press.
LONDON, March Spending a de-
cision which is TO be taken at an ad-
journed meeting of the Irish party at 2
o'clock this afternoon the outcome of the
new home rule crisis is regarded with the
greatest uncertainty and no little anx-
iety. Whether the exit of John Redmond
and his followers was spontaneous. or
was carefully organized beforehand for
effect it took the house somewhat aback
and has created a situation which is re-
garded, in some quarters as acute as at
any period in the long-drawn-out home
rule fight
Speculation in the lobbies and in DO
litical circles concerning the next move
OF the nationalists is exceedingly active,
and the sresult of today's party meeting
is eagerly awaited. The usually well in
formed lobbyist of the Daily News says
Some alternative courses Of action
were put before the meeting. Those which
will be further considered today were
briefly, whether the party shall with
draw from Westminster altogether or
stay. and If it shall stay how it shall act
toward the government. If it decides to
stay it is regarded certain that it will
be more hostile to the government
The nationalists. the correspondent
adds, consider that the premiers speech
was delivered to placate American and
foreign opinion and to put the nation
alist party in the wrong light. They thus
considered. the correspondent concludes,
that they have suffered a great injustice.
and their attitude at the moment toward
the offer of commission is to brush
aside the suggestion unjust to their
claims.
The lobbyists for the unionist news
papers describe the nationalists as now
in definite hostility toward the govern
ment

Mr. Lloyd George was continually in

greeted with angry jeers from the ma

ing home rule. In conclusion he Of
fered an amendment to the nationalist
resolution to the effect that;
This house would welcome any set
tlement which would produce a better
understanding between Ireland and the
rest of the United Kingdom. but con-
sders it impossible to impose by force
on any section of Ireland a form of
government which has not their con-
sent"
Among many other interruptions was
one by John Dillon, who exclaimed an
grily, You are turning your back on
home rule
Replying to Mr.. Dillon's interruption,
the premier said:
Not only is that not true, but the
honorable gentleman knows it. l have
not deviated a hairhreadth from the
line 1 have taken in the last five or six
years with regard to Ulster. Frank ac-
ceptance of the position that Ulster will
not be coerced is more likely to achieve
the object of united Ireland-a hun
dred times more - than coercive
measures.
