Plunkett Asks
Patience in Ireland

New York, Feb. 1S-Sir Horace
Plunkett sailed for his home in Ire
land today on the steamship Olym-
pic. leaving behind last message
appealing to the American people
for patience" with respect to the
Irish question.
While he believed the Irish lead
ers who accepted the terms offered
by Great Britain had acted wisely
and had averted open civil war, he
always felt like entreating Americans
who judged harshly those who hesi-
tated to accept the terms to remem-
Der the birth pangs of their own
commonwealth, he said:
THE early stages OF Irish self
government are certain to be en-
barrassed by a storm Of destructive
criticism. for which the Irish are es-
pecially gifted, because there has
been no scope for constructive criti-
cisr," he said.
Much time and infinite patienct
will be required to develop the habit
of practical and helpful discussion,
out OF which alone sound Legislation
and eficient administration can be
evolved.
Many upon whom the greatest re-
sponsibility will devolye will have
had no training whatsoever for its
discharge. Everything Is bound to
so wrong before it can go right. But
there Is absolutely no alternative to
self-government Amy attempt to re-
store British rule would eventually
result in a prolongation and intensi-
fication of our trouble"
