THE HOME RULE BILL
THE DEBATE CONTINUED. By Cable —Press Association—Copyright. Received 14, 10.30 p.m. London, June 14. Mr. Balfour, speaking at Preston, said that the Home Rule Bill would not relieve the House of Commons of the Irish question, but Parliament would find itself in conflict with its Dublin offspring. It was madness to give a national organisation without national powers. He predicted that after suffering friction the Irish would revert to the Union, which they were now so rashly leaving. , In the House of Commons the Marquis of Tullibardine gave notice of an amendment to the Home Rule Bill, in the direction of safeguarding Freemasons in Ireland. 1 The debate on Mr. Agar-Robartes's amendment was opened to-day. Sir E. Carson said that he would not accept it as a compromise. Even if four counties were omitted he would still oppose Home Rule for the rest of Ireland. Mr. Redmond declared that the amendment was a wrecking one. The four counties were not homogeneous. He regarded the idea of two nations in Ireland as revolting and hateful.
