IRELAND'S PERIL.
LORD FRENCH NOT RETIRING. HIS VIEWS ON THE OUTLOOK. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received April 8, 1.5 a.m. London, April 7. A Daily Express representative had an interview with Lord French. The. latter denied that there was any truth in, the report of his intended resignation. He added: "It is true I am fed up and wish, somebody would relieve me of the job, but I am not resigning." Lord French complained that the position in Ireland had been exaggerated. Too much of the criticism was merely destructive, and nobody was offering a constructive alternative Jo the present Home Rule Bill. He was always a Home Ruler, and had been more-so since he became Viceroy. He totally disagreed with the Dublin Castle methods. He. was unable to spend £2O without Whitehall's permission, but Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Bonar Law splendidly supported him. The Sinn Fein movement meant a reign of terror, as the best brains in Ireland were behind it, and its headquarters were in Dublin.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
