IRELAND.
POLICY OF PROTECTION, THE LONDON HUNGER STRIKERS. By Telettaph.—Press Assn.—CopyrleM. Received April 27, 7.30 p.m. London, April 2C. in the House of Commons, Mr, Bonar Law said Irish policy would be continued to protect the lives and property of law-abiding citizens. Ihe suggestion that Lord French was invited to resign was unfounded. Mr. Shortt (Secretary for Ireland) stated that out of 17!) Irish prisoners at Wormwood Scrubbs, 174 were refusing food- Tlie policy of giving special ameliorative conditions to such men was always followed in England, and no demand for an improvement in the conditions had been made. None of the prisoners bad been tried, nor was it proposed to try them, because the fear of being murdered prevented truthful evidence being given. In Ireland prisoners were interned under order of the Irish Government, and told-they were arrested under suspicion. If they chose they could bring their cases before judicial tribunals.—lmperial Service. ATTITUDE OP THE CHURCH. London, April 26. The Dublin correspondent of the Manchester Guardian insists that, despite appearances, the church stands between the Government and Irish anarchy. It is unquestionable that the majority of bishops and priests constantly risk their popularity by counselling patience and observance of the laws. The Government ought to put greater value on clerical co-operation and therefore abandon the provocative Education Bill.— United Service.
