BRITISH & FOREIGN ITEMS
\ CSTJIAUAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. IN THE COMMONS. {Received This Day at 8 a.m.) LONDON, June 22 In the Commons, Mr Worthington Evans stated Government were sending all available troops to support the forces operating in Ireland. The unity of the Irish command would mean an extension of martial law, which was being considered. SOUTHERN SENATE. LONDON, June 22. Twenty members of the South Irish Senate, including Lords Dunraven and Middleton memorialised Hon Lloyd George, pointing out the powers under the present Act were insufficient successfully to carry on the Government. They urge the recasting, and say they are ready to function with a constitutionally elected Lower House, but are not prepared to act with a nominated
body. Lord Donoughmore’s motion in the House of Lords demanding a disclosure regarding the proposed amendments to the Home Rule Act was further debated. Lord Dunraven supported and Lord Birkenhead discounted the suggestion that an amendment of the financial provisions would be efficacious. There was no chance of that. British people would deal with the Irish situation, accepting the necessary sacrifices. Ireland might use her fiscal autonomy to discriminate against British industry and might repudiate her share in the national debt. The motion was defeated. * -
