LLOYD GEORGE SAYS
239 POLICEMEN HAD
Been SHOT BY IRISH
fBy Associated Press)

CARMARVON, Wales. Oct. 9.-Pre-
mier Lloyd George in a speech here
today concerning the situation in Ire
land, referred to reprisals. He argued
that the police in Ireland do not bomb
houses and shoot men without provo
cation. The premier said that 238 po-
licemen had been shot, of whom 100
had been shot dead. and the patience
of the police had given way with the
result that they hit back.
Mr.. Lloyd George declared that if,
as was commended, there was war in
Ireland, then the war must be waged
on both sides. But when policemen
were shot in the back by Sim Feiners,
the premier said, it was not war, but
murder. He asked whether, under this
system of terrorism which made 1t
impossible to obtain evidence. 1t was
any wonder the police shot the muir
derers. 1--WE must however, restore
order in Ireland, even by stern meth
DDS" the premier asserted. because
we cannot permit the country to fall
into complete anarchy"
must BE Suppressed.
He said the murderous gang which
now tyrannizes Ireland must be brok-
en- up and the government must pro-
coed with measure for complete self
government of the country. Referring
to the killing of policemen, he said:
while these murders were going on
I never read word Of protest from
the Sim Fem in Ireland Mr.. Arthur
Griffith founder of the Sim Fein) a
very able and distinguished Irishman
communicated to the press of the
United States, and, 1 believe, to the
oil SI, frx1 lou, fh1 ', ny~
day in which he showed great concern
at the prospect Of what he thought
was going to be an attack upon his
own life. I do not believe there is
any attack being concerted against
his life, but I never saw a word from
Arthur Griffith displaying any indigna-
ton at the killing Of 100 policemen"
The premier said that If there was
state of war in Ireland it would
give the soldiers and policemen fair
chance and they would give a good
account of themselves. He demanded
whether the police were to stand to
be shot down like dogs, without any
attempt to defend themselves, and de-
clared 1t was more than human ma
ture could tolerate.
Explains His Stand
Mr.. Lloyd George said he could I'M
derstand and sympathize with the
idea that self-government should be
given because it would bring good
will, but not because "a gang of as
sassins had ballied the government
into it." 1t was all very well, he con-
tinued, to talk about a dominion form
Of government, but Ireland demanded
an absolutely Independent republic,
and even that would not satisfy the
Irish. He declared Ulster would not
have an Irish republic and tive do not
want to negotiate peace with civil
war at our very DOORS
