AsoUITH OPPOSES HOME
 RULE. FOR IRELAND

London, March So.-(By The A. P.) Herbert HI. Asauith, former premier and sadvoeate of a one Farl la rnent Ireland. took issue in the house of commons today on the home rule question with Premier Lloyd George, whose plan for two parliaments for Ireland MT. Asquith characterized as absolutely unaccepta ble.
 Particular interest ~is centered in the contest between the premier and former premier, both of whom aspire to the leadership of the liberty party, but as yet they have not come to grips.
 The fact that agitation is so wide spread in Ireland at present lends added interest to the ultimate out come of the bill before the house, but the real fight will not begin until the | committee stage is reached.
 MT. Asquith spoke today against 1 the bill, but, contrary to expectations MT. Lloyd George deferred his re- marks until tomorrow. For the mo- l ment unreality seems to surround tht ] debate, and todays proceedings fail l ed to arouse much excitement. Tn, i arguments take two principal direc- 1 tions; from the opponents Of the b;l l that it is useless to press the meas ure, as it is certain to be contemptu- ouSly rejected Dy the lrlSn people and. from the supporters of the bill i that to grant self determination un der existing conditions would b. 1 equivalent to consenting to the proc lamation of an Irish republic, whicl
 no sane government could permit After the principal speakers, MI l Asquith and Andrew Bonar Law, tn
 debate was confined to minor mem
 bers. The hope that Sir Edward Car son. the Ulster Unionist leader, woul 1 speak. was. not fulfilled. The holida spirit seemed to pervade the house
 which gradually emptied, and the de
 bate was adjourned at Il o'clock a might. .
 Sir Donald MacLean will resum the debate tomorrew, with Premie
 Lloyd George, and William Adams | labor leader. as the chief speaker. There may be a division, to enabl adjournment for Easter
