MANNIX'S MOVEMENTS.

LONDON, July 28. The Evening News states that if Archbishop Mannix is allowed to land in Ireland he will he treated as a hero by the Sinn Feiners. Extraordinary interest i s being taken in Mannix’s movements, hut the Cabinet’s decisions that he shall not he allowed to land in the United Kingdom can readily be carried out.

MR LLOYD GEORGE CHARGED WITH INCONSISTENCY.

LONDON, July 29

A statement issued at Atlantic City says: Mr Lloyd George’s edict barring Archbishop Mannix from the British Islands contrasts strangely with the Premier’s attitude towards Cardinal Mercier during the war. It merely discloses one of a dozen of the Premier’s inconsistenccies in the Irish question. The Premier abandons democracy when it is a matter of British expediency. This Premier, who prevents an Irish prelate from landing, is the same who landed Cardinal Mercier to the skies, the man who wanted self-determination for the world, with a mental reservation that Ireland was not part of the world. QUESTION IN THE COMMONS. LONDON, July 29. In the House of Commons, Mr Kenworthy gave notice that he will ask the Home Secretary by what authority Archbishop Mannix, a British subject born in Britain, is to be prevented from entering the United Kingdom without making any defence.
