TO say that parliament and the king
dom must brace itself to face a bit
ter period in Irish history, as there
Will be q determined organized at
Tempt to establish an Irish republic
BY means of murder and intimidation
declared Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief
Eecretary for Ireland, in the course
OF debate on Irish affairs in the
house of commons today. He appealed
to all parties and creeds to support
the government, predicting the situa-
tion would become still worse than
at present. There never was a time
he added, when the Irish executive
the British cabinet and the house
Of commons were more desirous of
settling this age-long Irish question
and we are ready to welcome repre-.
sentation from every quarter as to
the best method of solution"
Proposes Tribunal
Previously Sir Harhar said, he
would have to ask the house to
pass certain legislative measures to
meet the situation, among them one
TO create tribunal superseding civil
eDurts which had failed to function
ooo1ng the recent assizes, and all
other empowering the lord lieutenant
Of Ireland to establish tribunal
10 deal quickly with all criminal Of
lenses committed in Ireland.
"Pending these measures" the sec
fetary said, "another decision of the
Sim Fein court or any transfer of
title Under such decision is illegal
and will be upset as soon as pos
sible."
Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster un-
!onist leader, declaring that in three
quarters Of Ireland, the British gov,
ernment has entirely been beaten
said there are only two courses
open for solution-soldier to the Irish
republic or organization forces to the
government is not beaten again."
