PROPOSAL OF GREY
MEETS OPPOSITION
Plan for Irish Settlement Couldn' t
Get Approval of Sim Feiners
and Ulsterites.
By Associated Press to Every Evening

London. Sept 30-The high reputation
of Viscount Grey, former ambassador 10
the United States. as man and states
man assured his lrish proposals proml-
nence in the press. Although they were
received with interest and respect. II
cannot be said that they awakened much
enthusiasm. while in some quarters they
are rejected almost impatiently.
The Times SAYS: Fifteen months ago
the cabinet might have solved the Irish
problem by a bold, swift stroke. Now
nothing short Of some policy of the kind
Viscount Grey suggests can lead to a
settlement"
The Daily Telegraph calls the proposals
nebulous and says
at is quite certain the Irish would not
compose their differences in two years
or many years and our withdrawal would
simply mean that We leave them to fight
it out among themselves.
Dublin, Sept. 20 Suggest ions for the
solution Of the Irish problem which are
virtually an offer of a generous form of
home rule, made by Viscount Grey, ha We
attracted much attention IN this city
but public opinion generally discounts
the probability of their adoption. Mod
crate elements approve of the Viscount' s
plan. but the Sim Fein, it is said, would
not consent to enter an assembly for
constituting a future government unless
the law gave automatic force to whatever
decisions were reached. Under such con-
ditions on the other hand, Ulster would
refuse TO enter.
Sim Fein quarters welcome the pro-
posal that if a settlement Is not reached
within two years the British government
should withdraw altogether, leaving re-
sponsibility to Irish people. Leaders of
the Sim Feiners say that all they ask IL
free responsibility.
Dublin, Sept. 30.-Uniformed men
wrecked several houses and burned others
in Drymoleague near Skibbereen last
night as a reprisal for the shooting of a
sergeant when police patrol was attacked
Tuesday night. A number of the inhabi-
tants had left their homes earlier in the
day ANNOUNCING that reprisals would be
carried out
