Premieys sApeai and Warning.

Mir. Lloyd George, in his speech at Barnsley on Sept. 3, when he was presented with the freedom of the city, made a reference to Ireland. For Gods sake, he said, let us clear aside prejudices. The nation that lives on prejudices is doomed, just like the man who lives on hatred. have never seen a man with ven detta that I would trust with any job. Clear, hear.) Let us sweep them 0 one side, whatever it costs, even when there is reason for them. No nation can flourish in swamp of hatred, and that is why I should like to see them swept aside on both sides.
 I am proud to think that Britain has risen above all it's prejudices- (cheers) )-and given the Minister a fair chance to speak in the name of the people of Britain to settle.
 Universally Approved Terms
 And when we have proposed terms that have never, been proposed be- fore by any English statesman to Ireland I am glad to speak in the name of Britain when we are making that offer. (Cheers.) They are terms that have commended themselves not merely to Britain, but to the whole civilized world.
 If Southern Ireland is not satis- fled with freedom, but insistst on se- paration, then I fear all hope of an accommodation must be abandoned But I trust that commonsense will prevail, and that good counsel will be needed. We only want to do what is fair and right and just.
 Wales and Scotland Don't Want 1t
 If Ireland has the right to separa- tion, so has Scotland, so has Wales. Wales was an emphatic nationality but no Welsh patriot outside a luna- tic asylum ever dream of demanding separation.
 Scotland is as distinct a nation alfty as any nation in the world It was independent not so very long ago; it has a great history, a great tradition, a great literature; and, although it has not a languague of | it's own, it has a most distinctive ac- cent of it's own-Qaughter)- ac- cent so distinctive that it is enough to justify a claim for separation. | Oaughter.)
 But Scotsmen do not forward the claim. Why? Because they know that when you had separation, you had | destruction and death.
 And are we to split up this United | Kingdom at the moment when it's unity of aim, it's unity of action has saved the world? Nothing else could have saved it.
 In spite of all indications to the contrary, I believe that when the Irish people realize that real free l dom is offered to them, and all that they are asked to do is to come into | the proudest community of nations in the world as free men, I believe you will find that gifted people. who are not devoid of political instincts and who have a great record in the past and produced great men. vii realize that their destiny is greatest as free peoples.
