ULSTER CONCESSIONS.
A SWEEPING VETO
BIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL. CENSURE MOTION DROPPED
(By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright) LONDON, March 4. It is authoritatively stated in the lobby that Mr. Asquith's proposals include a sweeping veto to Ulster, and extensive control of local affairs, with the option of withdrawal from the rest of Ireland at the end of a certain period.
Members of all parties express the opinion that it will be June before Mr. Birrell (Irish Secretary) can reintroduce the Home Rule Bill. There was no discussion to-day. It is expected that some weeks must elapse after Mr. Asquith's statement to permit of the proposal being digested. The Unionist motion of censure on the Government has now been dropped.
Signatures to the Union Defence League's appeal against Home Rule are increasing in numbers daily.
