PARLIAMENT GIVES
APPROVAL TO IRISH
GOVERNMENT POLICY
Winston Churchill Says Pro

Complete Authority.

LONDON. June 26.-(By A. P)-
After a debate, which was not 80
heated nor acrimonious as was OK
pected, the government Monday
night won a virtual vote of conf
dence on its Irish policy, when a
die hard" motion proposed by Sir
Frederick Banbury. uniOnist, for a
reduction of the chief secretary for
Ireland's salary as an expression OF
disapproval of the governments
policy and failure TO afford rolice
protection for Field Marshall Will
son was defeated The vote was
81 TO 10.
Winston Spencer Churchill, secre-
tary for the colonies, in his state
ment on Irish affairs made it clear
that the imperial government
would expect the provisional gov
eminent, now that IL had secured
the peoples mandate. TO take the
necessary steps to assert It's COM
plete authority. and with equal
frankness emphasized that the Brit
ish government would not allow the
coercion OF Ulster by the south, in
fact. that failure 10 observe the
treaty would mean the British gov
eminent resuming COMPLETE free
dom Of action.
Premier Lloyd George in a brief
speech, winding up the debate. re-
peated the familiar arguments in
support of the government policy
and contending that the Irish pro-
visional government now had the
people OF ireland behind it and
what it did or failed 10 do would be
the real test Of whether il was fit
TO govern.
The question of Field Marshal
Wilson's murder did not figure i'm
the debate as largely as might have
been anticipated. Home Sec'y
Short was able TO show that the
ministers and others from whom
police protection had been with
drawn had acquiesced in the with
drawaI. Loud cheers greeted the
announced result Of the vote, Civ
ing a substantial majority for the
