Over Irish Problem
"Feeling of CONSERVATION" Is
Aroused, Says London
"Times" Correspondent
[Staf Corrcspondencc1

LONDON, Feb. 3.-Sir Edward Car
son, since his retirement from the
Cabinet, has lost no time in injecting
his personality into the Irish problem.
His recent speeches inspire the follow
ing comment from the political CORE.
spondent of the conservative "Sunday
Times:
"Sr Edwards retirement from the
Cabinet was an entirely friendly act,
and the report of his speech yesterday,
with his revival of the old Ulster shib-
bolcth Of no surrender, caused feel
ing of constcrnaton in political circles
1t is as though dove sent from tho
ark transferred itself into hawk
"Unless he is grievously misrcpre-
scntcd, Sir Edward has added fuel to
the smouldcring flames of Irish antag-
onism, and has entirely justified the un.
casiness which his presence in the
Cabinet has all along excited among
men of moderate views"
