Mr. Lloyd George''s Warning.



WHILE the attitude of the Irish party is doubtful, that of the Government is free from all doubt. Mr. Lloyd George has assumed a determined attitude, and in his speech he uttered a grave warning to the Nationalists. He said that there would be trouble in Ireland. He did not doubt it. But if Ireland resisted this measure it was essential that the conscience of this country should be clear before any measures were taken of a stringent character. It was useless passing the Bill unless it was intended to enforce it, and it was useless to enforce it unless behind the Government there was the feeling that Ireland had been justly treated. This is deeply significant language and it shows that unless the Nationalists will accept conscription on the condition that conscription and Home rule shall come together, Mr. George's Government will not hesitate to force conscription upon Ireland.
