IRELAND CAN
HAVE IIOfSE RUL
IF, SAYS ENGLAND
Eng!oC Is willing that Ireland
have any sort of llomc Rule which
shall be satisfactory to the different
lnrties of Irishmen. It has several
times b',Tn proposed to tyrant Home
Rule to that part of In land which
wants it, but thft Nationalists have
pot been willing that Ulster or part
of It should bo left out, and a portion
of t'lstrr has been absolutely oi
powd to The Homo Uule. L;t it be
noted also that Sinn Fein wants
none of Homo Hule, but absolute
Hrparatlon from Great KrUain. Now
even If this Independence were a
good thine for Irishmen, anri at least
m quarter of tUei 1 think not, many
people In Great Ir!:ain believe that
It "Would be danKerous for them
selves; anl In a general considera
tion or this problem it must be re
membered that there are forty mil
lions in J'rltain and only four mil
lions in Ireland. This is no fanciful
objection. Some Entrlishmen have
fervently wished of late years that
Ireland was on the other side of the
earth; but Ireland is close i-t hand,
and not to be got rid of. Edward
