Churchill said:
Before the war We had reached
definite arrangement with the leaders

was not to be coerced. 1t never was
the policy of the late liberal govern
ment to take coercive steps in Ireland.
Why do not the Irish leaders come
forward now and take responsibility
for government within the British en-
pire. Why do they not win Ulster?
The government is mos anxious

ward vigorously TO u solution. Great
Britain goes to the peace conference

Ireland 1t is only the quarreis ana
disputes of the Irishmcn themselves
that prevent solution of this great

"The financial queStt is hecoih-
