Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1921-11-11

The king, in his speech proroguing
parliament Friday night, made another
| appeal similar to that which he ad-
dressed to the people in opening the
northern parliament of ireland, to ex-
ercise patience and moderation with
the object of establishing friendship
and cooperation between ''my people
of that country
This was particularly addressed to
the Ulsterites, who now are in Lon
don considering the governments pro-
tury-old problem, in the opinion of
the politicians. But all sections come
within his majesty's exhortation and, it
is pointed out, the Sim Fein may read
it with particular interest and may OBJ
ject to the inference that the dispute
is between the two parties in Ireland
is not dispute between England and
Ireland, which is the Sim Fein's con-
tention.
Meanwhile, the Ulsterites are wait
ing for Premier Lloyd Georges prom
ised detailed statement of the, govern
ment's proposals which the committee
meeting and which the whole cabinet
discussed tonight.
! 1t is considered that the cabinet win
have some difficulty in conveying into
words what occurred in the conference
between the government and the Sim
Fein delegates and the cabinets pro-
posals to Ulster arising therefrom, as
they must necessarily be vague and
largely hypothetical. So far as out
siders know, the cabinet is agreed upon
what Ulster is to be offered in return
for her agreeing to a united Ireland
under central parliament or council,
but the 'die-hards' of the unionist party
claim that many prominent men in their
party, naming among others Andrew
Bonar Law, will oppose any proposals
that Ulster rejects.
Rejects Everything
Ulster however. has thus far not re-
jeeted anything, and the fact~that her
representatives are prepared to discuss
the matter with Mr.. Lloyd George
gives hone that they are ready for
some sort of compromise that does not,
in the words of Sir James Craft. the
Ulster premier. carry 'sthe surrender
of listers rights"
Ulster, it is declared by some of her
friends. is unyielding, but on the other
hand, the governments supporters re-
call that the Slim Fein also was un-
Welding prior to conferences in Down
ing street.
Austen Chamberlain. government
leader in the house of commons and
himself Unionist, in message to the
Unionist party tonight appealed to the
members mot to allow their minds to
be biased by rumor, but to reserve
their Judgment until full and complete
statement is laid before them. y
Earnest Desire for Peace
II believe" he continued. that there |
exists throughout all sections of our |
country an earnest desire for peace if |
it can be obtained on safe and honor !
able conditions. / believe that with pa
thence. good will and spirit of mutual |
accommodation such peace is not i'm |
possible. Where so much hangs in tbs. |
balance, for Ulster, Ireland. Britain, |
and the empire-perhaps even for the |
worlds it too much to ask this meaA
ure Of confidence from our frends?"
1t is thought probable that the pre-
rnier's discussions with the Ulster cab
met may not be concluded before tho
middle of next week. The proposals OF |
the premier will not be in the form of
an ultimatum requiring direct answer.
Ulster, it is declared. does not con-
template presenting an alternative plan.
One Tlsterite is quoted as saying:
I'VE viii go to the conference cham
her on the same footing as the other
parties--to examine equally with them
the suggestions ma6e, without earlier
bias one way or another. with II view
to reaching if possible a peaceful set
tlement."
