South Ireland Provisional Gov

BILE for It's Actions

London, June 26 (Associated Press)
After a debate which was not so
heated or acrimonius as expected
the Government tonight won virtual
vote of confidence on its Irish policy
when a "due-hard" motion, proposed
by Sir Frederick Banbury, Unionist,
for a reduction of the salary of the
Chief Secretary for Ireland as an ex-
preston of disapproval of the Gov
ernment policy and failure to afford
police protection for Field Marshal
Wilson, was defeated. The vote was
342 to 75
Winston Spencer Churchill, Secre.
tary for the Colonies, in his state
ment made it clear that the Imperial
Government would expect the Pro-
visional Government, now that 1t had
secured the peoples mandate. to take
the necessary steps to assert its COM
plete authority, and with the British
Government would not allow the CO.

repeated the familiar arguments in
support of the Government policy and
contended that the Irish Provisional
Government now had the people of
ireland behind it, and what it did or
failed to do would be the real test Of
whether it was fit to govern.
Pointed questions regarding the Gov
ernments policy were flung at Mr..
Churchill by several unionist mem
bers. Viscount Curzon asked the num-
ber of British subjects in southern
ireland who had been murdered or
died of wounds since the Anglo-Irish
treaty was signed, whether the Gov
ernments policy was to relinquish no
effort to secure the punishment Of the
guilty persons, and whether Mr..
Churchill intended to make representa-
tions to this effect to the Provisional
Government,
Mr.. Churchill replied that those kill
ed were fifteen. serving as members of
the Royal Irish Constabulary, eight
former members and seven soldiers,
not including three officers and two
priyates kidnapped. for whose lives no
further hope was entertained.
I'VE are not going to let single
one of these cases drop" Mr.. Church
III said.
Replying to further questions, Mr.
Churchill said Great Britain could not
continue indefinitely to regard with in.
