Lloyd George Warns.

In discussing the man-power bill in
the house of commons Premier Lloyd
George asked whether conscrfption IN
Ireland was to be the governments s
only answer to the report of the most
remarkable convention ever held in
ireland. Such an answer would be re-
Earded as unsatisfactory not only in
ireland, but in England. he said: II
there was trouble in Ireland arising
from refusal to legislate after the Irish
convention, and only conscriptfon was
offered, any resistance in Ireland would
meet with sympathy here, which would
paralyze the effort to enforce conscrip-
ton in Ireland.
The premier referred especially to the
attitude of the labor party. adding:
TT is useless to put this bill on the
statute book unless we intend to en-
force It, and IL is useless to try to en-
force it unless behind the government
there is a feeling that Ireland has peen
Justly treated. Moreover. Ireland Is
not the only county to be considered.

the government is that sentiment IN
America supports the bill. provided

To Offset New German Call.

In introducing the man power bill. he
said the government had considered
nothing but the best means for prosecut-
ing the war They were confronted with
need for more men because the Ger
mans had just summoned to the colors
another $4,000 men for training. Great
Britain must make ready for them and,
therefore. the government had had to in
troduce a measure of the most drastic
character. Nobody would deny the great
emergency and the government included
Ireland reluctantly and only because they
were convinced that there would be
great sense of injustice and resentment
at the carrying out of this measure unless
Ireland were included.
The premier declared that no fair
analogy could be drawn between the
application of the present bill to Ire
land and the attempt to tax the Ameri-
can colonies against their will, because
in the latter case it was matter of
taxation without representation. and,
further. no measure Of self-government
was claimed by any responsible body
representing ireland in the house. He
asked If it ever had been contended
that questions bearing upon the organ
ization of the army and navy and de-
fenss of the country and the empire
should be entrusted to any parliament
except the imperial parliament.
Regarding the claim that Irish con-
sent should be obtained. the same
argument. he said. could be applied to
Wales or Scotland. He added that both
