HOME RULE BILL.
London, March 4. Mr Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland, addressing the Oxford Union Society, said that whether or not after Home Rule was granted the Irish would be represented at Westminster was a conundrum easily answered, if Home Rule for Ireland was frankly regarded as the precursor of Home Rule for Scotland, Wales and England. It was the crux of Home Rule that they should be able to make financial proposals enabling the Irish to support the new system of Government with some measure of success. The Government was engaged on an actuarial inquiry with a view to securing a system of finance on a rational basis. He thought it quite practicable, although it was not yet possible to make financial proposals which would not be open to the charge of being impossible or absurd. The Home Rule Bill would possibly resemble the Bill of 1893, subject to such alterations and modifications as the interval has suggested as wise.
