THE GOVERNMENT CRITICISED.
[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. —COPYRIGHT.]
LONDON November 15.
In the Hduse of Lords Viscount Chaplin called attention to the gravity of the situation in Ireland. Sinn Feiners were preaching sedition and disloyalty and holding out inducement to establish a separate republic. The Government ought to stop the campaign out of consideration for the Irtish Convention., He joondemned the Government’s want of action. It was a mockery to ask the Convention to sit while De Volera was going about preaching deliberate coldblooded incitement to rebellion.
Lord Wimborne replying, said he could not recognise Viscount Chap, lin’s gloomy picture despite its inflammable material. The gravest danger was athe importation of arms or a hostile landing. Owing to the steps taken neither was a possibility ior at all likely. The House must not make over much of illegal drilling. The Sinn Feingrs were not proGermans either in feeling of impulse The idea that Ireland was becoming an independent republic must always remain a dream
