Britain Ready to
Grant Freedom to
Irish Churchill

Dundee, Scotland, Tuesday, Dec
10. - Colonel Winston Spencer
Churchill, minister of munitions,
speaking here today, emphasized the
impossibilities of coercing Ulster in
the matter of home rule for Ire
land, and said that the present gov
ernment is anxious that the prob
lem be solved as soon as possible,
Colonel Churchill said:
Before the war We had reached
definite arrangement with the
leaders OF the Nationalist party that
Ulster was not to be coerced. II
never was tho policy of the late
Liberal government to take coer-
Give steps in Ireland. Why do not
the Irish leaders come forward now
and take up the burden OF respon-
sibility of government within tho
British empire? Why do they not
by a spontaneous feeling OF COM
radeship win Ulster?
The government is most auxious
that tho Irish question be pressed
forward vigorously to a solution.
Great Britain goes to the peace con-
ference ready TO bestow self-gov-
ernment on Ireland. 1t IS only the
Quarrels and disputes of the Irish
men themselves that prevent a so
luton to this great question"
Speaking OF fiscal matters, Colo
mel Churchill said: The financial
question is becoming increasingly
grave. We are heavily in debt TO
the United States. We have sent TO
America 4O0,00O.000 in bullion and
from 500, ,0OO, 900 to 1000. 900, 600 IN
securities, which had been gathered
as a result OF two generations OF
prosperous trade.
"The payment of interest on that
debt and the loss OF interest on ST.
curities previously neld Will impose
a very heavy burden in coming
years. AS a result of these over
seas liabilities, we will have bur
dens such as we have never had
before, but we VIII face these diff
flculties with courage. keeping our
word in every respect"
