Separation From EN-

Liberty Offered

Brunslee, Eng, Aug. ~. Great
Britain cannot countenance the
tearing up of the United King
dom, said Premier Lloyd-George
lin referring to the Irish question
In speech here today. 1t would
mean civil war In Ireland itself,
he declared. He hoped, however,
that common sense would prevail
"I am proud that Great Britain
has risen above all prejudices and
proposed terms such as have new
er been proposed before" the
prime minister said. They are
terms which commend themselves
not only to Great Britain but to
the whole civilized world. trust
common sense will prevail.
Whatever our views are, we
cannot countenance separation.
We can no more countenance the
tearing up of the United King
dom than America could counte-
nance the tearing up Of the Unit
ed States. Severance would lead
lin Ireland itself to civil war.
IF southern Ireland is not sat
listed with freedom then fear all
hope OF a settlement must be
abandoned. We want to do what
lis fair, right and just. II Ireland
has right to separation, so has
Scotland and so has Wales but no
Welch or Scotch patriot would
ever dream Of demanding separa-
Ition.
i "I believe that when the Irish
people realize the sense of the
freedom which is theirs, that real
] freedom is offered them, and that
all they are asked to do is to come
into the proudest community OF
nations in the world as free men
/ believe you will find that that
