Continued from Paqe Onel

tlal majority for the government.
Opinions expressed in the Hobbies
turned on the fact that the prime
minister's speech was more gloomy
than usual and his reluctance to make
any confident proclamation as to
course of events, and also that the de-
bate had conferred less on the murder
OF Field Marshal Wilson than on the
/ fate of the treaty.
Mr.. Churchill's speech was interpre-
ted as indicating that what amounts
to an ultimatum had been sent to the
| provisional government. and it was
generally supposed that the test of the
provisional governments good faith
would be whether 1t would he able to
eXpcl the dissidents from the -Four
| Courts.
y cryptic sentence at the end of the
! premer's speech seemed to suggest
that the government would resign if
it failed to secure the adhesion of the
south to the treaty. But it was also
admitted that the sentence was cap
able of another Interpretation. Mr..
Lloyd Georges words were:
| u am not asking the house to sane
| ton a policy of indefinite acQuiesccnse
| in defiance to the treaty. quite the
! reverse. While we are pressing the
north to deal impartially with all re-
| ligions under its sway, we are insist
ing upon the south adhering in every
particular to the treaty its leaders
signed. If we fail in that it will be
for this house to take action and find
men who will discharge their duty in
this respect. as in all others, fearless
~ to the empire"
incidentally he revealed that it was
Field Marshal Wilson who had ad-
dressed the government that it would
be necessary to raise another hun
dred thousand men to carry out the
policy alternative to the treaty.
The premier was unwilling to admit
that the treaty was failure but even
: if it broke down there would be the
invaluable advantage that the failure
was not attributable to the govern
ment, and that the government had
been patient. tolerant, indulgent.
A number Of die hards' and Ulster
men attacked the government policy,
most of them urging that the govern
ment should be dismissed from office.
Andrew Bonar Law. replying to
these attacks. said he approved of the
treaty. but confessed that he had
foreseen exactly what the position
would be today he would not have
voted for II. They ought not to allow
the murder of a great soldier and a
lOvable man to be used 70 inflame po-
1itical passion. He was unable to
agree with those demanding a re-
versal of the government policy
though he doubted if the government
was dealing with the situation in the
best way.
Mr.. Bonar Law contended that the
Irish sisnatories of the treaty had
failed to carry it out in good faith and
that the British government. when it
handed over the government of Ire
land to the provisional body had taken
a great responsibility, which had
t'Nned out to be wrong. He believed.
however. that thn government meant
TO see the thing through but if not.
he would be against the government
