Lord Rosebery, writing in the
London Times on the subject Of
ireland, says:
"The Americans are very free
with their criticisms of our Irish
government, but one is curious
to know what their plan would
be. An extreme party is en-

in Ireland. What was done in
the United States when the
Southerners wished to do the
same thing. But we have no other
clue to their Irish policy, and
hat obviously is no precedent"
