London, July 30 (by the Associ-
| ted Press. AN official report
concerning the reception Thursday
! by Premier Lloyd George of a dep
utation of Unionist peer and mem
| bers of the house of commons to
! discuss Ireland, shows that The
chief spokesmen We're the Duke OF
1 northumberland and Sir Edward
! Carson, Unionist leader, both OF
whom emphasized that the Sim
! Iein was part of a great world
wide conspiracy in which bolshev-
| ism and German revenge were
playing an active part, aiming at
the destruction of Great Britain.
The duke alluded to an allianGT
alleged to have been formed early
in 1919 between the Sim Fein and
bolsheviki through Dir. Patrick
McCartan, Sim Fein Ambassador
to the United States. and declared
that the Sim Fein was represented
at all the conferences in Russia
leading up to the third internation-
ale and that the Sim Fein program
was virtually identical with the
program propounded by the third
internationale.
Sir Edward Carson elaborated
his theme of the existence in the
United States and other parts of
the world Of propaganda bureaus
representing the discontented peo-
of Egypt, India and Ireland. He
argued it was from the time that
Frank P. Walsh, of the Irish pro-
paganda bureau in America came
to Ireland last year that the Sim
Fein became unmanageable in a
conspiracy which would eventually
beat the British government.
Germany Seeks Revenge.
He quoted from speeches Of
Judge, d. f. Cohalan, of New York,
to support his arguments. He re-
ferred to the existence of German
propaganda bureau in Zurich to
foment Irish discomfort and de
clared Germany never would
abandon her struggle for revenge.
He also spoke disdainfully of the
principle of elf-determination be-
ing applied to all small nations
without consideration of the inter
ests of the larger nations.
Premier Lloyd George expressed
that the deputa-
tion had failed to suggest possible
remedies for the situation. He
agreed there was bolshevist sup
port behind anti-British activities
in Ireland and said he would not
be surprised if there also was boil
shevist money! But" he added,
1--WE should make a mistake If we
came to the conclusion that the
Sim Fein is purely a bolshevist
against Great Britain"
The premier touched on the
difficulty of finding necessary
troops and officers for carrying out
a military policy in Ireland "un-
der conditions worse and more
wearing to mems nerves than the
late war"
eve are doing our best" he
but we want recruits. |
We want officers to lead and to |
guide. We want thousand to |
put down this conspiracy"
Then, having alluded to the |
drastic nature of the govern
ment's coming bill and the diff !
Guilty of seeing that criminals are
brought to justice, he emphasized |
the necessity of having public |
opinion behind any effective law.
That, he said, you can only do
by making 1t clear that this is
not ydAIr sole remedy or your lost |
word"
Mr.. Lloyd George contended that |
there was need for a side-hy- |
side policy for enforcing the law |
and for a policy of granting Ire
land any measure of liberty and |
self government consistent with |
the supremacy and security of the |
United Kingdom. He emphasized |
the necessity of getting the vast
mass of British opinion, espec-
lally< the working class, behind |
the se+ernment's policy, declaring,
Il do not believe you can govern
ireland under any other condi-
TONS"
