THE IRISH SITUATION
STATEMENT IN HOUSE OF LORDS
SINN FEINERS NOT PRO-GERMANS
(Rec. November 16, 8.55 p.m.) , : * London, November IS. ■ In the House of Lords, Viscount Chap- ■ lin called attention to the gravity of the situation in Ireland The SinnFeinera were preaching' sedition and disloyalty and holding out an inducement for th 9 establishment of a separate Tepublic. The Government ought to stop the campaign ; out of consideration for the Irish Cop- ' vention. Ho condemned. thor Govern-/ ; ment's want of action. It was a mockery I to ask the Convention to sit while Be j j Valern- was going about preaching de- j libcrato cold-blooded incitements to rebellion.. '."■,'
Lord Wimborne, replying, said he could not recognise Viscount Chaplin's ' gloomy pioture. Despite the inflammable material the gravest danger was the im- • portation of arms or a- hostile landing. Owing to the 6teps taken neither possi- ; bility was likely. The House must not make overmuch of the illegal drilling. ; The Sinn Feiners were not pro-Germans, either •in feeling or impulse. The idea of' Ireland becoming an independent' . republic must always remain a dream.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. .
