THE IRISH PROBLEM.
WANTED, A SCHEME. PRIME MINISTER'S INVITATION LONDON, August 8. Mr. Lloyd George, replying to Mr. MacLcan's demand for a statement as to the Government's Irish policy, said it was not to the credit of (ireat Britain that after hundreds of years of British rule we had not reconciled Ireland to partnership. The rule of force could not be the last word. The Government would submit a scheme to the House of Commons at the earliest moment, but not before the recess. "Everyone said something must be done," he proceeded. "I am anxiously looking for any proposals, and I invite Mr. Mac Lean to submit one. The 'Times' newspaper had proposed a great scheme, but, unfortunately, it was a | scheme that every party in Ireland would condemn. The Government will not shirk its responsibilities, but, meanwhile, I order must be maintained in Ireland."— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
