Premier Says Government Can and
viii Not Permit Organization
For Purposes Of Re-

London, Oct. 25.-Premier Lloyd
George declared in the course of a
speech in the house of commons that
the government vas aware that ar
rangements were again being made,
partly by Count Won Bernstorff, to
land arms in Ireland.
The premier said that the govern
ment could not possibly forget what
had happened only is months ago.
I'm order to save those poor people
who honestly believed they were doing
their best for their country from be-
ing persuaded by others" continued
the premier" / thought it essential
that the government should take ac'
ton. not provocative action, but firm
action.
Rebellion to Be Crushed.
There are three things the govern
ment ought to make clear in the in
terests OF Ireland: First. incitement
to rebellion cannot be permitted. The
Germans nearly landed arms for that
purpose is months ago. We know that
arrangements are being made for
arms to be landed again and we know
that ii is partly done by Won Bern
storff Second, a thing no government
can permit is organization for rebel
lion"
After referring to the drilling and
the marching going on in Ireland and
the expectations of De Valera, the pre-
mier declared that what was going on
In Ireland was deliberate attempt to
enroll and drill thousands of young
men-who in England would have
been compulsorily enltsted-in prep
aration for rebellion.
The third point was that there was
deal of talk In Ireland among the
Sim Fein leaders, which, said the pre-
mier, did not mean home rule or self
government, but separation or seces
sion There was a demand for tht
sovereign Independence of Ireland
and, declared the premier: I'VE haf
better say at once that under no condi
tions will Great Britain permit any
thing OF that kind"
