IRISH
MENACE is PAST

London, Nov. 16.-Viscount Chaplin
in the House of Lords yesterday
called attention 90 to the grave situa-
ton in Ireland. He referred espe-
cially to the Slim Fein campaign in
favor of an independent republic.
Baron Wimborne, Lord Lieutenant
Of Ireland, replying, said he did not
share viscount Chaplin's gloomy an
ticipations. Despite the infamma BILE
material in Ireland, the gravest dam
ger to be apprehended was the i'm
portatfon of arms or a hostile land
ing. But he had been assured that
in view of the steps taken neither
possibility was likely to arise.
AS to the internal situation in Ire
land, that was not out of hand, and
generally the country was prosperous
A governing factor in the situation
was the irish convention, which he
believed had been rewarded with sub
stantia1 progress.
After abiding to the expected rising
In Ireland last Sunday week, which
said that had the executive taken
precipitate action the convention
would have been killed. This Incl
dent justified the government policy
mot to seek trouble, but to be pre-
pared.
The Sim F'einers said Lord VIM
borne were not pro-German, either
in feeling or impulse. Their idea of
Ireland becoming a republic must al
ways remain a dream, he declared.
The government now had an adequate
military establishment in Ireland.
