Of the sreatsSt importance to the future
relations Of Great Britain and ireland.
In the opinion Of many who are qualified
to speak. It would be political madness TO
attempt at this time to apply conscrip-
tion to Ireland. They point out that the
Dublin convention is believed to have
reached a larger measure OF agreement
than at one time was believed possible
in framing q constitution which would
eecure for Ireland the necessary condi-
tions Of stability. progress and peace
| The conventions report Ia understood to

May He Put Up to Irish.
1t Is understood a bill shortly will
be introduced in Parliament Offering ar
opportunity for the solution Of the Irish
| question. One suggestion OF the Gov
ernments plan Of meeting the issue has
been that provision in the man power
bill might take the form of putting
upon self-govern!ng Ireland the respon.
sibuity OF refusing conscription. and
that the bill while applying the draf'
elsewhere would suspend II In ireland
until the Irish government chose to ap.
ply It.
Under such . solution II was suggested
that moral pressure from Great Britain
and America upon the Irish Governmen,
might have been efiicacious.
| Dispatches from Ireland indicate a
bitter spirit Of resistance to imperial
conscriptlon. In one case this mani
tested itself in = meeting Of the Water

luton protesting against any atten,p,
