REPRISALS JUSTIFIED. MURDERS MUST STOP FIRST. SIR EDWARD CARSON’S OFFER. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright Received Jan. 31, 7.15 p.m. London, Jan. 30. Sir Edward Carson, speaking at Tor. quay, resented the action of the Radical Press and others in condemning reprisals, and yet ignoring the crimes provoking these. When he read of an old college friend bayonetted and buried alive, and simultaneously o-f English statesmen drawing attention to reprisals, he considered that the lowest possible degradation of political life. Sir Edward Carson added: “Let them relinquish murders and we will relinquish reprisals.” The day would come, he said, when Ireland would crawl to Britain to restore her to the United Parliament. Sir Ed\vard Carson added: "If the South and the West of Ireland said to Ulster, ‘We must run our own island and live together; we will no longer preach hatred of England, but will cooperate with you and the rest of the Empire,’ then I undertake that we will accept the offer and shake hands for the sake of England, Ireland and the Empire.”—Aus. and N.Z.
