Prediction Of Dillon Gre

SAYS BAD FAITH
Looks for Revival of Irish
Question and Says Will
son s Task Made
Difficult.

London, March 1.-THE British
threatens to kill the league OF nations,
and II conditions In Ireland remain
as they are, the whole body OF Irish
in America, numbering more than ten
million, will go against the league"
This prediction was made by John
Dillon in an interview with the Dub
lin correspondent of the Morning
Post, which created n. sensation here
today. Dillon is convalescing after
two months of serious illness.
''As far as / can Judge" said he,
the government has deliberately
adopted policy which Is calculated
If not intended--to throw Ireland
into tho hands of the revolutionary
party. and IL that was its purpose, il
has succeeded.
lit Is hard to say how the govern
ment intends to face the situation 1t
has created. BY breaking its plighted
faith over and over again and finally
by introducing last May the conscrip-
ton act and carrying II against the
protests of all Irish nationalist rep
resentatives and by the arrest of the
Sim Fcin leaders, 1t has brought
about the existing position.
Remember that Lloyd George gave
his personal pledge to Sir Horace
Plunkett that no matter what was
the result OF the convention. the gov
ernment would proceed forthwith 70
settle the Irish question.
SAYS HE BROKE PLEDGE.
He broke that pledge, and having
broken faith with Ireland. he pro-
ceeded to apply conscription to Ire
land, although we who knew the
country warned him he would get nj
men under the CONSUMPTION act and
that the only result would be that he
would throw the country into a state
of revolution.
TT IL these proceedings which
caused the Slim Fem to carry thf
election and that threw ireland into
the hands Of the aeparatist party
what do you suggest as policy ?"
asked the interviewer.
ut Is not for me to make suyges-
ticns. cannot speak for Ireland.
Lloyd-George and the government
have handed Ireland over to the Sim
Fem. They arc responsible for thu
situation. 1t ia for them to apply a
remedy.
II have never known the J-ish a
America to be so aroused. My own
impression is that the Irish question
is going to be revived In very acute
shape within tho next few weeks
both in Ireland and in America.

1t was noticed that Premier Clemen-

since the attack on his life.
FRENCH PRESS COMMENT
The French press, commenting on
Mr.. Wilson'S return, presents q falrer
subject OF comparison than. the rala-
tive size of crowds. Whereas recently
the radical organs were vociferoua
over the presidents visit and others
were flouting Mr.. Wilson'S ideas ox
keeping reserve on the league or
nations. now the socialist organs APP
pear indifferent. while the govern
mental organs are quite fulsome In
their praise, plainly eyidcncing that
without Mr.. Wilson's influence
France would be helpless against
Germany.
Erienne Fournol whose relations
with the foreign office are well
known, writes this morning IN ~
Petit Journal, Pichon's paper: What
has happened? The United States
ought to teach the French once more
never to interfere in the combats be-
tween the donkey and the elephant.
The writer closes with this iisfuncr
ton: Nothing remains hut to GEM
bine and adapt French necessities to
American ideas"
All Of which shows plainly how
leading French opinion has conae
around to Americas views since De-
cember. Instead OF flirting With rho

There Is much dissatisfaction with
the verdict. The extreme 'wets''
