The speech on Sunday in which
George Nicoll Barnes, Labor member

eral scheme of home rule for the Unit

ton in political quarters i'll England
and in ireland. The lobbyists at West

and declare tli1t although the Gov
ernmcnt has not decided definitely on
Federal scheme, individual members
of the Cabinet, including Premier
Lloyd George, are inclined more and
more to such solution Of the Irish
problem. This is due partly, it is said,
, because they believe the scheme af-
fcrds the only chance Of winning Ills
ter to home rule. Some OF the Cabinet
members believe also, according to
the lobby correspondents, that there is
a greater disposition in Parliament and
the country than ever before toward a
Federal scheme.
The Daily News credits the Min
listers with the opinion that it is the
best policy to frame an Irish home
rule bill which will be general in struc-
ture. and which could be fitted into a
subsequent act establishing similar
Federal parliamcnts in England, Scot
land and Wales. The suggestion, how
ever, is rejected absolutely in Ireland,
