READY TO
TALK PEACE TO ERIN
Government, However, Refuses
To Free Sim Fein Leaders
For ParIeyS.

LONDON. March 6. - Though Pre-
mier Lloyd George has declared his
willingness to again negotiate with
accredited Irish leaders. In further
efforts to reach a sett ement. the
Government stands frm to it's re-
fusai to release many men whom the
Sim Fein need as a condition for
the Inauguration of conferences. 1t Is
believed, however, that with sven the
conservative press voicing desire
for peace this attitude might some
what be relaxed.
Following the collapse of the attack
of Sir Hamar Greenwood, secretary
of state of Ireland, and of the Crozier
affair. the government apparently
feels strong enough 10 talk peace
without bringing upon itself the sus-
ptcion of having been compelled to
do SO.
Local outbreaks continue daily in
Ireland. Londonderry was the scene
of severe rioting Thursday night One
policeman was killed from ambush
Thursday and there are reports of ex-
tensive Sim Fein movements in the
south. Seven bridges nave been de-
stroyed.
Another daylight robbery occurred
In Dublin yesterday when the clerk Of
Mt. Joy prison was held up and $4,000
of payroll money taken.
Dublin's answer to the imposition
of the o o'clock curfew is . demand
for the Immediate adoption of local
daylight saving to regain the lost
hour. All the theaters and movies in
the city are closed or will be in a
short time.

The moment has come for deelar-

IL is now necessary not only 10

The Bolshevik government is In the
hands Of an sxtCsous minority. In
whom sectarianism has taken the
place OF character. Everything that
represents the work of the past has
been destroyed, and nothing has been
reconstructedd.
SCORES BRITISH ATTITUDE
II IL were not for the hostile and
almost prosecuting attitude OF Eng
land, Russian Bolshevism would al
ready have collapsed.
Although the entente has always
reproached Its enemies with acting
In the name of might. and although
it has always proclaimed the prtnct
pies of democracy, II has not failed,
when convenient, to violate those
principles systematically.
It is necessary now. after so many
failures due to blindness and m
trsnsigsncs. to consider the Russian
problem under other crfteriona
Russia is offending us with her sys-
TENS but she Is also defending her
self against all the snares that have
been laid to injure her.
What In the solution then!
There 10 one only that 10 the
primal and fundamental solution: to
at once regulate the relations with
Germany, settling the indemnity ques-
tion and giving the German people the
certainty OF the future Of their lib
erty. Until the German people have
peace, the Islamic world will be In q
fermsnt and the Russian revolution
will not come to an end. ....

as the German people Is without any

PLUNKETT B[AMES

Sir Horace, Sponsor Of Do.
minion Plan for Ireland,
CriticiSeS UnionjStS,

NEW YORK, March 6.-Sir Horace
Piunkett. one of the chief sponsors
Of the dominian scheme OF govern
ment for Ireland. who sailed for home
yesterday after a long visit in the
United States, declared in an inter-
view that the Ulster Unionists are
responsible for most Of Ireland's
troubles.
owing to circumstances which Il
cannot now discuss. a section of the
Ulster Unionist party is In absolute
control OF the British government
in it's Irish policy and acts in the ex-
elusive interest of the Scottish Pro-
testant Industrial community in the
northeast corner OF the island" said
Sir Horace.
The Unionists disregard the senti-
ment and wishes of all the rest OF
the Irish people, Protestant and
Catholic alike. and think 1 may add.
Of the democratic opinion OF the
world. Naturally, II requires an army
Of occupation to impose by force the
so-called political settlement upon
four-hfths of the Irish people at the
conclusion OF a war so avowedly
fought for the liberation OF small
nationalities.
"The Northern Irish Parliament and
the government can easily be set up,
but the scheme cannot possibly en-
dure.
1T will have against 1t an angry
minority in it's own area and the
whole of the outside Irish people. 1t
will bring no peace to Ireland, no
commercial, Industrial or agricultural
prosperity. Happily, this northern
parliament will contain none but
Irishmen who will realize that they
have been a pawn in the game Of
English party politics."
