LONDON. March THE gravest
situation with respect To Ireland
since the Dublin rebellion faced the
government at today's session Of
parliament
Following a meeting Of the Irish
party, it was announced that several
leaders will deliver speeches this af-
ternoon demanding immediate home
rule. The party decided to oppose
any further attempts at compromise
and 10 go into opposition to the
government at once if the demands
are rejected.
Government leaders fully realize
the gravity Of the situation. They
are particularly anxious TO conciH-
ate the Irish leaders and obtain a
settlement of the home rule ques-
tion in view OF the possible entry Of
the United States into the war 1t
is well understood here that the
fight for home rule in Ireland is apt
20 attract close attention in America
at this time.
John Redmond may mare the
first speech in commons this after
noon. Premier Lloyd George is eX-
pected 10 state the governments
position du g the course of the af-
ternoon's debate. though he may
postpone a statement until tomor-
row. No inkling of what he will say
has reached the public though
Irish leaders believe he will an
nounce appointment of another
commission 10 investigate the whole
matter and are prepared to offer
vigorous opposition.
II is no secret that the spirit Of
unrest is stronger throughout Ire
land today than at any time since
the quelling of the Dublin riots.
Irish leaders are expected to so in
form parliament and to charge the
unionists with full responsibility
should fresh disorders break out as
the result of the governments fail
ure to act.
