MR. REDMOND ANGRY
LORD LANSDOWNE'S SPEECH CRITICISED Australian-New Zealand Cable Association. (Bee. July 13, 10.55 p.m.) London, July 13. Mr.' Jolm Redmond lias issued a statement in regard to tho Marquis of Lansdowne's speech on tho Irish settlement question. The speech, eays Mr. Redmond, was a gross insult to Ireland. "It amounts to a declaration of war on tho Irish people, and an announcement of a policy of ooercion. If this speech, be taken to represent the attitude and spirit of the Government towards Ireland, then there is an end to all hope of a settlement. The speedy seems to have been ]n;uio with the delioerate object of wrecking the settlement negotiations." Tit was reported yesterday that the Marquis of Lansdowno (for the Government) had said that tho Bill the Government had pledged itself'to infcroduoe ■would take some timo to prepare. Ho felt confident that under tho system at present in. force tliere ought' not to be any fear that the Irish situation would get out of . hand. He believed that Sir John Maxwell (Commander-in-Chief in Ireland) had forty, thousand troops, . and the Government would give liim all tho Support to which he was entitled. A Huffioient garrison would bo maintained during the transition stage, and ail Order-in-Counoil would 1m issued to-mor-row prohibiting the carrying of arms in. Ireland without a permit.'] Mr. Redmond seems to claim all modifications of the Home Rule Apt as being strictly temporary, and provisional, including the exclusion of the six counties of Ulster. The ''Daily News" does not regard Lord Lansdowne's speech as a. wrecking speech, but merely intended to conciliate the wild men of liis_party. Liberal members of the House of Commons and newspapers -urge the quick introduction and passing of an amending Homo Rule Bill, but a section! of the Unionists urge , that the problem must not bo treated as Mr. Lloyd George carried his Insurance Bill. (Eeiiter's Telegram.) , (Rec. July 13, 10.55 p.m.) , London, July 13.' Tho Nationalists state;that lord Lansdowne's speech is the first intimation ,01' the restriction of the Irish Executive, and Mr. Asq'nith, will be asked whether His Lordship's statements were sanctioned by the. Government. Mr, Redmond's manifesto says that he adheres strictly to Mr. Lloyd George's' terms, and any departure in tho direction indioated by Lord .Lansdowno will be a gross breach of faith. ' -
