PROPOSED BRITISH
AID To NO, IRELAND
H0TlY CONTESTED

London. Feb. 23-(By A. PA
hot debate took place in the house
of commons today over the British
governments proposed contributions
TO the assistance Of Northern Ire
land. Former Chancellor of the Ex-
cheauer Snowden accused the Bel
fast government of illegally extract
| ing money from the British treasury
in 4 manner which, he said, did
| r parliamentary etiquette permit, he
would "characterize with an ugly
word"
The trouble arose at the home
Offices supplementary estimate OF
,250. 900 pounds sterling as q grant
| to aid the revenues of the Ulster
government toward the expenses OF
! it's special constabulary. Mr.. Snow
! den moved a reduction of the esti~
mate on the ground that there was
TO legal for it, since the maintenan
of law and order was an obligation
laid upon the northern government
! itself.
The objector said this estimate
| was the latest concession Wrung
from the British treasury. which had
; already been subjected to constant
demands from the Ulster govern
ment Tor illegal financial assistance.
These demands had become so IN
! tolerable that in 1922 Stanley Bald
win, then chancellor of the exche-
quer, had referred them to com :
| mittee.
Amid rising Indignation and chal-
lenges from the Ulster members, NJ.
! Srowden further accused the Ulster
government Of desiring this money
for the unemployed and for the
support of the orange ascendancy..
He said counting police and special
constables, there was a poncemai'
for every six families in Ulster.
Such large forces, he continued,
were not needed end 1t was pack-
6oor way of levying upon the Brit
ish treasury.
The Ulster members made IN
effectual attempts to get the. chair
man to prevent Mr.. Snowden from
making the accusations. Chancel-
Tor of The Exchequer Churchill, for
the government said there was moth
ing illegal and nothing unprecedent-
ed about the proposed grant.
1t was far more important, MI.
Churchill said. that there should pc
peace ana OrUer tNaH SCohoAhS az
the police service. He explained 1t
was not a right, but a concession
freely made by the British parlla-
ment for high reasons of state 1hcy
and he trusted that the house would
forget that, in reaching the present
status OF Ireland. Ulster had made
great sacrifice of her wis 'ss, had
accepted a form OF government
which had separated her govern
! ment from that of Great Britain, ana
that it had placed her in a position
of facing many perils and difficult
ties.
1t should lie a point Of honor with
the British parliament to sustain ana
support the Ulster government dur.
ing It's early and difficult years, and
that lis exactly what we are doing
in this vote"
After Mr.. SnowGen had pointed
out that neither Mr.. Churchill nor
the Ulster members had attempted
to deny his charges. the house divid-
ed and the Snowden motion was de-
fcated oil against 113.
