The Observer (London), a chief supporter of the Unionists, offers the following remarks on the proposed Irish settlement under the headline "The Larger Unionism": The day for discussion of small details has gone by, if we wish, as we most earnestly do to arrive at a settlement of the Irish question which shall leave us a truly united kingdom in face of the foreign foe. The leaders of the contending Irish parties have met together and have come to a substantial agreement on the main and most bitterly felt subject of controversy. We shall be shamed in our own sight and in the sight of the whole world if our statesmanship prove so bankrupt that a means cannot be found to make that agreement effective. This is no time for peddling or hair-splitting, or mischief-making. It is up to all concerned to emulate the noble spirit of Sir Edward Carson, who in the greater moment of his life last Monday, told German game, and that it would be a happy day on the floor of the House.  May we inquire whether these remarks do not apply to India and whether Anglo-Indian extremists should be encouraged by home politicians to the detriment of union in India?
