DOMINION STATUS OFFERED.
Lord Birkenhead Reviews British
Dealings With Sim Fein.
By the Associated Press.

TUNBR1DGE WELLS. November 26.
Lord Chancellor Birkenhead said here
today that what the British govern
ment had offered Sim Fein was that,
with one or two reservations, Ire
land should be placed in exactly the
same position as Canada.
Whether the offer will be accepted
! cannot say" said the lord chan
cellOr.
1T is very easy" he added. "to say:
why don't you raise an army and
coerce Ireland as the only means of
obtaining peace?' If such a tragic
necessity were to arise. no British
government would shrink from the
responsibility. But. when that had
been done, how much nearer would
we be to the attainment of con-
tented Ireland?"
Referring to Ulster. Lord Birken-
head said there could be no question
Of taking any of her special privi-
leges of powers from her, but he
hoped that Ulster. having complete
her powers, would in the near future
realize that her interests in other
matters concerning Ireland as a
whole would be better served by con-
tributing her experience to a central
authority. The difficulties raised on
the other side are manifest" he said.
Later in his speech Lord Birken-
head explained that the one or two
reservations with respect to domin-
ion home rule for Ireland concerned
the question of tariff and naval facil-
tiles. The latter, he said, was a
vital and an indispensable matter.
Moreover. referring to the question
of Irish allegiance to the crown, he
declared the British crown was a
symbol as necessary in Ireland as in
Canada and throughout the empire.
