THE IRISH PROBLEM
MODIFICATIONS OF POLICY. FIRMNESS AND TOLERANCE. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.), (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.), LONDON, May 19. The Cabinet after further consultatioa with Sir Hamar Greenwood, Lord French and Sir Nevil Macready, came to a final determination on the new dual Irish policy. It was decided to use every weapon in the State’s armoury in fighting terrorism but on the other hand to remove many restrictions imposed on the general community; to adopt a more liberal attitude towards sedition unaccompanied by violence and to abandon indefinite imprisonment without trial. It is estimated that the active terrorists do not exceed 2000, though their sympathisers doubtless number thousands. It is intended to establish military flying columns for maintaining a continuous and relentless pursuit of criminals, to secure independefej. evidence and execute proved murderers. POLICE MURDER AT LIMERICK. LONDON, May 19. (Received May 21, 12.20 a.m.) An armed party killed a sergeant in a street of Limerick and mortally wounded a constable.
