LONDON, December lS—(’onlrast?d strikingly with Britain's royal pomp | and splendor displayed in the house of lords at noon yesterday was the scene in the house of commons a few hours later when, without ceremony, but with evident conseiopsness of power and influence, the members heard the prime minister render an account of his stewardship and the government’s part in the Irish set- tlement. For an hour and three quarters Mr. Lloyd George spoke to crowded benches and jammed galleries. Mr. Lioyd George said there were many peculiar Irish difficulties. Ire- land’s geographical strategic position was analogous to that of no other dominion. Every other dominion hac its war debt and pensions, he added and if that had not been dealt with | the Irish alone would have come out of the war untaxed. He said there { was_also the difficulty arising from deeply-rooted religious animosities, so exaggerated that fears had to be dealt with as facts. Ho. said one of the greatest questions was the peculiar position of north Ireland, which had wrecked every proposed settlement before the present one. With reference to the question of allegiance to the crown, which was questioned in the house, he said he would reply fully later. contenting himself now with the statement that ‘there had been complete acceptance of allegiance to the British crown, ac- ceptance of membership in the empire and acceptance of common citizenship. Full Dominion Status. Alluding to the question of domin- ion status, Mr. Lloyd George declared if full and complete dominion status had been conferred Ireland would have had power to raise any army or navy she liked, and he instanced the fact that Scotland, during the war, raised 700,000 men. How could Great Britain have pursued a policy of dis- armament at home and abroad if Ire- land had been thus able to raise pos- sibly a half million men? he asked. That was an international objection. Besides, if Ireland had been entitled to raise large forces, northern Ireland would have been driven to imitate the south for its own protection. It was under such menacing circumstances that conflicts were likely to arise, and it was desirable in the interests of the empire, the world and Ireland itself that there should be limitation. At the same time it was impossible to leave the government responsible for law and order without a certain num- ber of armed forces, and the limit was set not beyond what was needed for this purpose. Ireland Needed for Security. In justifying the naval provisions of the treaty, the premier argued that the experience of the late war had shown how vital Ireland was to the security of the United Kingdom. Therefore, he contended, it was im- possible to allow the ordinary do- minion status to operate. Although he agreed that Ireland would never be likely to raise a formidable fleet. “The provisions of the treaty, how- ever, do not mean that we do not contemplate that Ireland should not later take her share in the defense of these isles and her coast by de- fending it and helping to defend ours,” he continued. “We should wel- come her co-operation just as we now welcome the co-operation of the do- minions.” Maintaiping that the government hLad stood by its pledge not to coerce Ulster, the prime minister explained that that had not precluded them from trying to persuade Ulster to en- ter an all-Ireland parliament. The Ulster leaders themselves had often spoken of the unity of Ireland as the ultimate ideal. The government would not have been justified in breaking the conference up by refusing to dis- cuss an all-Treland parliament. Ulster Facing Complications.

There were difficulties in connec- tion with ‘the rebellion in Ireland. which when one came to disentangle them, it would be better not to stay! too much about. The same arguments ' were used with regard to the settle- ment with Canada, and the bill was called the “rebel” reward bill, but it brought a half million vallant men to the aid of Great Britain in her great- est struggle. Did Not Shrink From Task. “Therefore,” exclaimed Mr. Lloyd id pot shrink from this Other Issues in Agreement. a change im the boundaries, he as- serted that Ulster desired to set up a model goverfment, and, as an un- doubted majority of the people of two of the northern counties would prefer to be with their southern neighbors, Ulster wauld have trouble 't her own doars, .which would com- plicate the whole of her machinery. The boundary commission, he point- 2d out, would consist of a representa- tive of the northern government, one from the Irish Free State and a chair- man appointed by the British govern- ment, and, he added, “we shall take care to secure the voice of the ablest nuan we can get.” Dealing with the methods of put- ting the agreement into operation, he said there were two ways of dealing with the necessary interregrenum— the first, a status quo, which would | e undesirable. Therefore, it was proposed that a provisional. govern- ment be established until such time as a responsihle government could be ! irranged, -when the crown forces would"be withdrawn. Answers “Surrender” Charge. Replying to criticisms that the| agreement was a surrender, the prime | minister asked was it to be contended that no rebellion could be settled by pacific means? “If the terms are good,” he contin- ued, “are we newer to negotiate with| rebels? In the present case, who else ould we have negotiated with?' | The commons were the last author- ty in the world to maintain that ar- gument because they owed their | =reatest rights and privileges to con- cessions made to successive rebel- The most ruthless repression Replying to'a Suggestion that the settlement might have been made a year ago, he argued at length that statemanship ~consisted not merely in the wisdom of proposals, but in the choice of the right moment to apply them.
