England Plans
SinnFeinRound-Up
Ruthless Measures Include
Arrest Of All Actiue
Members, Dublin Hears

LONDON, Dec. 27.-In dispatch
dealing with the Sim Fein problem in
Ireland the Dublin CORRESPONDENT of
The Evening Standard" says it is no
secret in Dublin that the authorities
are determined to handle the situation
"lth certain amount of ruthlessness
and apply drastic remedies to what they
consider q dangerous disease
The correspondent says it is stated
in quarters which have the reputation
OF being well-informed that steps
contemplated by the Niceroy, Lord
French, and his advisers for restoring
normal conditions include the arrest
OF every known active Sim Feiner
throughout the country. The writer
continues:
Considering the strength of the
Slnn Feln movement this in itself is a
gigantic task, and one which the au-
thorities are advised will be difficult
of performance, but the advocates of
a clean sweep policy believe it can be
effectively done, and refuse to be di-
verted from their plan by any CON
slderation Of the political or other ef-
tect IN Ireland or outside
Il am assured continues the cor
respondent, that Lord French, despite
ms own dlscouragiEg experiences is
stll an unrepenting believer in the
good sense and the good will of the
majority of his countrymen. He holds
that the Irish bill outlined by the Pre-
mier has all the clements Of perma-
rent settlement for Ireland if the
country gets the opportunity of work
ing it."
