Lloyd George Talks
on the Irish Question

London, Dec. 14.-(By A. P.).-Con-
trasted strikingly with Britain's royal
pomp and splendor displayed in the
House Of Lords at noon today was
the scene in the House Of Commons .
few hours later when. without cere-
mony but with evident consciousness
Of power and influence. the members
heard the prime minister render an ac-
count of bis stewardship and the gov
crnment's part in the Irish settlement.
For an hour and three-quarters Mr..
Floyd George spoke.
1t was not an grafton like that Of
October 81 when the premier. having
been challenged. presented to the
country the alternatives Of war or
negotiations with ireland and won the
day by a division overwhelmingly IA
yoring the governments policy: his
role. today was Of one simply narrat-
ing the problems faced by the delega-
tons. with a description OF the way
they were handled.

He then asked the members to refrain
from interruptions. as his task Of ex-
position was difficult and one which he
disliked.
The prime minister was deeply Inn
pressive as he came near the end.
when in slow tones and solemn man
-ner he. drew . picture Of the British
imperial, war cabinet, at which q va.
chant chair was waiting for ireland.
and looked to the future when Eng
lands fears would be Ireland's ahx-
ieties, and England's victory Ireland's
Joy.
Captain Charles Craig. who leads the
Ulstermen in the house. described the
oath In the treaty as mot worth the
paper It 10 written on" 1t was. no
said. most senseless conglomeration
Of words and nothing more. under GER
tain circumstances, than the legaliza-
ton Of treason.
He predicted that Ireland would In .
few years declare herself . republic
and he believed that England would
not send single pinnace to prevent
Ireland from seeding. Short Of the
pistol and soldiers, the government
had used every possible form Of cosr-
cion against Ulster. The prime min
:ster could have done nothing more
calculated to arouse the Ire and sus-
melon Of the Ulster people.
Lord Hugh Cecil did not believe
there was any probability Of tho
agreement succeeding. It was folly
and dishonor and the method whereby
the agreement was reached deserved.

government, by Lord Carson in the
House of Lords and Captain Charles
Craig, Irish Unionist, in the House o,
Commons. Lord Carson especially
showed not the slightest diminutior
in his old time. denunciation Of any
accommodation with Nationalist Ire

do anything to stir Ulster against the
empire and exclaimed: Because
Ulster is loyal you think you car
kick her as you like.

"that she will keep out of this agree
