Paris, France, Jan, S.--PremieI
Lloyd Georges success in the British
general elections has brought triumph
and doubtT-triumph in having his past
policies and future promises support
ed, and doubt because of Ireland.
With seventy-three Sim Feiners re-
turned and only seven nationalists
elected, the first question asked is
what the Irish rebels purpose doing.
They have maintained silence as TO
their program and have thrown a
mystery about their Intentions but in
spite of their precautions | can pre-
sent an outline of their plans, which
are daring and brilliant and which, If
not finally successful. will, however,
have the effect of causing serious en-
barrassment to the new government.
To Form Rump Parliament.
9 The Information comes to me from
high official consulted Jas to his
opinion of the American attitude to-
ward the undertaking, which is de-
scribed thus: No Sim F'einers elected
will offer themselves for qualification
to the house of commons at Westmin-
Ser. Instead, they will proceed to
Dublin at the emil. OF January and
there orsanize. an Nsh parliament.
Without ssteataton or ,lsgressve-
ness, II is planned to adopt consti-
tuition based OH the declaration of in
dependence ofsGreat Britain and the
formation of1an Irish republic. Ire-
land, in the eyes % the Sim Feiners,
will be treated as an entity without

Those seats not filled will be order

parliament" will proceed to legislate
for the country and dispatch special
embas assies to America, France, Italy,
Russia and possibly Germany.
Would Put Violence Up TO England.
Sheriffs are to be designated for the
various counties, charged with re-
sponsihility for the execution of new
laws and freed from obedience to
those of English origin. But, accord
ing to the program. the whale opera
ton is based upon a policy of non re-
sistance 10 force. Tire Irish leaders
plan to shift the onus for violence to
English shoulders by counselling good
behavior and pretending to believe
their ends can be gained by moral in
fluence and emonstration of their
ability at self-goyernment
The non-resistance policy, how
ever, does not include this position
taken toward taxation. On the prin-
ciple that taxation without represent
alton is tyranny, the Sim Feiners
will resist the British tax impositions
which as they see 1t. will be levied
by a British Parliament with ireland
not represented, save for the seven
and handful of Coali-
tionists elected in the North. The
only woman successful in the cleo
tions, Countess Markiewicz, Is of an
