MR. REDMOND'S CLAIMS.
Sir,—Your article in Thursday's issuo opens up a side 'of the Irish question that is usually, lost sight of. If, Home liulc should ever ho forced, Ireland will be put to great disadvantage in other ways than thoso you deal with. At present, Irishmen compete very success-' fully in tho, British Civil Service. Lawyers, medical and general schoolmen find employment throughout Great Britain and all her dependencies. "Ireland for tho Irish" worked out would mean Ireland closed to outsiders, and, if so, it would lie unlikely Irishmen could competo in the wider field as at present, nnd that would bo a tremendous loss to tho brilliant youth of Ireland. I do not think Ulster can be. forced out of tho British Parliament, but should that occur I believe a lot .of manufacturers will transfer their plant even at a great loss to sonic other locality,' most likely the United States of America, thus saviiif' duty and ocean freight and harbour due's at both sides, more than covering increased wages, etc. Some firms have duplicate factories already, making thread, liojo and lace.—l am, etc., rx, 1- ,„., HIBERNIA. February 17, 1911.
