WANT TO SETTLE
IRISH QUESTION:,
SAYS CHURCHILL
Minister Also Discusses Grav-
lty of Empires Financial
Situation and Says Burden
Is Tremendous.

DUNDEE, Scotland, Dec. 12,-Col,
winston Spencer Churchill, minister of
munitions, speaking mere emphasized
the 1mpossibility Of coerclng Ulster in
the matter of home rule for Ireland.
and said that the present government
Is anxious that the problem be solved
as soon as possible, In discussing this
feature of the election campaign, col
Churchill said:
Before the war we had reached a
deflnlte arrangement with the leaders
OF the nationalist party that Ulster was
not to be coerccd. II never was the
policy of the late liberal government
10 take coercive steps IN Ireland. WHY
DO not the Irish leaders come forward
now II take up the burden OF respon-
slblhty of government within the Brit
ish empire? Why do tney not by A
spontaneous feeling of ~comradeship win
ulster. The government is most anx-
lous that the Irish question be pressed
forward vigorously to a solution, Great
Britain goes to the peace conference
ready to bestow self-government on
ireland. 1t Is only the quarrels and
disputes of the Irisnmen themselves
that prevents a solution to this great
question. Let us earnestly hope they
VIII endeavor by every means, even OF
practicing patience to embark upon the
proper road. Let US pray they will
labor to prepare a way by which they
phAoli iiublt NlllN Stllltlltil Oh lnb irish
problem to be achieved so that Ireland
will no longer remain the sick and all
ing child Of the British empire, but
will take her proud place with all those
great national forces wnIch have been
woven together to make up the mighty
empire which stand so high today"
Speaking of fiscal matters Col,
Churchill said:
THE financial question is becoming
increasingly grave. We are burdencd
with an enormous DEBT, but about six
sevenths Of our debt is due to our
selves. The difficulties connected with
that portion can be adjusted within our
own borders, but the external debt Is
a far greater source OF pre%-occupation.
We are heavily IN debt to the United
States. We have sent to America four
hundred million pounds sterling in bull
lion and from 800, 900, 900 pounds to one
billion pounds in securities which had
been gathered as a result Of two gem
erations of prosperous trade.
1.-THE payment OF interest on that
debt. and the loss OF interest on securi-
ties previously held will impose a very
serious burden in coming years. We
incurred that burden not for our own
benefits but for the allies and Russia.
AS a result Of these overseas liabilities
we will have burdens such as we never
have had before, but we will face these
difficulties with courage, keeping our
word in every respect"
