BRITAIN FIRM WITH
: HUNGER STRIKERS
Lloyd George Says Govern
ment Cannot Release Ter
ence MacSWeney.

LUCERNE, Switzerland. August 25
tby the Associated Press).-Premier
Lloyd George in a statement today con-
cerning the case Of Lord Mayor Mac
sweeney Of Cork, whose condition is
grave because of his hunger strike in
Brixton Jail, London, said in substance
that whatever the consequences. the
government could not take the response
bility of releasing MacSweney.
The premier declared he regretted
MacSveney had decided to starve him
self, but said that if he were released
then all the other hunger strikers would
have to be released
"A law which is a respecter Of per-
sons is no law" Mr.. Lloyd Georges
statement continued IF the cabinet,
therefore. departed from it's decision a
complete breakdown of the whole ma
chinery of law and government in Ire
land inevitably would follow. The re-
lease some weeks ago of hunger strikers
in Ireland was followed by an outburst
of cruel murder and outrage"
Cited Charges Against Mayor.
The premier cited the crime for
which Lord Mayor MacSweney was
convicted and said it indicated he
was concerned in conspiracy
against the constabulary, who are
the defenders of order in Ireland
Mr.. Lloyd George declares it is the
governments duty to protect these
brave men.
Il may add that every invitation to
discuss with those who are for the
moment the spokesmen for Irish ma
tionalisn a peaceful settlement OF
Ireland has been spurned by them.
The latest offer of the government
made in parliament on the date Of its
adjournment, has been scornfully re-
jected by their leaders and we have
been driven to fight against the claim
for complete secession of Ireland
north and south, from the British
empire. This claim we can never
recognize
