ATTACK ON IRISH
POLICY OF PREMIER
OPENS IN COMMONS
House IS Expected to- Voc
Support to Lloyd George
in Peace ParleyS.

LONDON, oct. 3l.--Col. John Gret-
ton opened the attack on Premier
Lloyd Georges Irish policy in Com
mons this afternoon when he began
debate on his resolution ccnsuring the
Government for its conduct OF peace
negotiations with the Sim Fein. The
House is expected to vote on the reso-
luton at o'clock this evening after
a speech by Mr.. Lloyd George
Although there appeared to be
every assurance that the revolving
Unionists could not muster more than
hfty votes and would be overwhelmed
by the Lloyd George forces, who
would be assisted by Liberals and
Laborites, the situation was regarded
as highly important
Considerable significance was, at
tached to the possibility that IL great
number OF Unionists. while not join
ing the insurgents of their party in
attacking the Government, would alb

sponsored by their party unless the
Premier gave definite assurance that
Ulster would not be sacrificed.
Reports have been circulated widely
that the Sim Fcin are willing to trade
allegiance for the counties of Fcrmun-
egh and Tyrone. Should Lloyd George
in his speech reassure the Unionists
that Ulster would not be partitiOned
hc would bee confronted by Il posi-
b!lity Of rupture in the peace nego-
tiatIons-- scheduled to be resumed TO-
murrow-sincc the irish will not con-

Evidence OF the keen interest was
found IN the fact that It. was impos

s'-icted public galleries. hundreds o:
applicants being disappointed. The
Unionist mote which was intro

have taken the oath Of allegiance TO
the Irish Republic and have repu-

Spita. a dehcatessen dealer across the
street, that she was too feeble to

Although she was old and alone
she was the object more of fear than
pity in tho neighborhood. She had
resented, il was recalled by Spita,
who had served her with groceries

But the conference Is the biggest
thing that has happened since the
war. 1t touches every family not only
in the United States but throughout
the world. 1t has a rather official
sounding title-"Conference on Limi-
tation of Armament and Discussion
OF Far Eastern and Pacific Problems"
But its real purpose, its real JOB, isn't
expressed by those words at all. In
deed. what does Far Eastorn prob
lens" mean? Who except the eX-
perts follows the details of CONNER
cial intrigue in the Far East? What
does Limitation OF armament" mean?
Ofhand you would say, stopping
expenditure" but talk to a naval ex-
pert and he will tell you it means
keeping practically the same size OF
navy that each nation has now with
out additional ships, and the first
thing you know you are in the midst
of technical discussion in which it
Is pointed out that absolute disarm-
ament is unthinkable because police
force is needed for domestic safety
and that production of armament"
and "limitatlon OF armament mean
two distinct things, as will be eX-
pained hereafter,
There's also an inside story Of how
the conference came to be called. 1t
throws a good deal of light on what's
going to happen. This will be told in
another despatch.
