IRISH LEADERS ASK
 DEFINITE POLICY
Island Controversy Discussed by
 House of Commons

London, April 4.-The house of commons debated the Irish question last evening; liberal members en- deavoring to elicit some indication of the governments policy. The most notable point in the debate was reached when Sir. Edward Carson urged a postponement of the question until the end of the wa" and declared that at present he regarded the ques- ton of reconstruction in Ireland, with education. health, housing, and sim- liar matters as far more important than " the raising of old controversies over home ru1e.' E
 Joseph Dev1in, nationalist leader said he thought Sir Edwards speech was "the most powerful indictment of British rule in Ireland" Captain William Archer Redmond of Water ford said:
 Ireland is almost on the verge of 8 revolution and the government re- sponsible. Let the government say frankly whether it intends to repeal the home rule act"
 Sir James Ian MacPherson, making his maiden address as chief secretary for Ireland replied to the criticisms $ made by members of the house. After indicating that measures were pro- jected to improve educational facili- ties and housing, he said:
 'The political unrest in Ireland Is unabated and outrages of the most cruel and unforgivabln kind are oc- curing. That is why it is necessa ry to have military forces there to main tain order. Ireland is one of the most prosperous countries in the world, but she must be freed of the shackles of terrorism. The menace of Sim Fein- ism, with it's cruel and wanton op- pression, is an enemy of constitu- u- tionalism and progress. There can be no seif-deteTni on constitution lines under Sim Fein rule.''
