ARGUMENT FROM ANALOGY.
{Received March 6th. 12.25 a.m.) LONDON, March 5. Lord Dunraven, in a letter to the Press, says a fair chance of settlement is only obtainable by referring Mr Asquith's proposals to a conference on the lines of Lord Loreburn's suggestion. Coercion is impossible, exclusion unthinkable, and a general election useless, as a solution. Lord Hugh Cecil, in a letter to the Press, says the difficulty in the way of a conference is insuperable. He draws an analogy between General Botha's action in South Africa and possible happenings, in Ireland as creating two centres of sovereignty. Nobody can deny that the deportations are altogether indefensible, and nobody can he blind to the outrage and scandal of the infliction of perpetual exile by retrospective enactment. True sovereignty lies with the South African Parliament and General Botha, not with the British Crown. Such will be the consequences of Home Rule.
