THE IRISH PROBLEM
STATEMENT BY LORD BIRKENHEAD RESTORATION OP LAW AND ORDER NECESSARY (By Telegraph-Press Association-CoryrieM (Roc. July 16, S.lO p.m.) London, July 15. In the House of Lords, lord Birkenhead (Lord High Chancellor) admitted the necessity for declaring the Irish policy at an early date. The Government agreed that something must to done, because the existing Home Bulo Act came automatically into operation six months after tho war ended. Ho believed that not a dozen Irish constituencies now wanted it in its present form. The Government recognised that it must soon discuss the problem and reach a decision, bur it had already stated that it would not sacrifice its friends to Britain's confessed enemies. Neither Ulster nor the Sinn Fein would accept Dominion Home Jiule shorn of control over the Army and Navy. Personally he could say ho had 'little hope of a happy issue nutil law and order were restored.—Aus. N.Z. Cable Assn.
