« r Cabl*-Pw*9 Association—Copyright.) lAostralian and X.Z. Cable Associntwn.) flßemved October 10th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, October 9. Mr Lloyd George- delivered a speech at'Carmivon, whero ho had an enthusiastic reception. "Tho defence put forward for tho murders and outrages in Ireland." he said, "is that a stato of irnr exist?, the police being the garrison of a foreign enemy, but Ireland cannot liaro a orip-sided war. In war, you do not liace one set of men standing up to be &hot. at and never firing back. In war no soldier ever complains it the the other side shoots lwck. Are the police to allmv themselves to he shot like dog 3 in tho street without attempting to defend themselves? Tho police.have enriurctl for two or three years, in a n -av which is the highest testimony to their discipline and restraint, murders of their comrades and attacks on their barracks. The patience of tho police is now givin? way. They are beginning to hit back severely. Is it any wonder thi'.t the police shot, on tho orders of their "onirados, when terrorism made it impossible to obtain evidence against the murderers ? . "But order must be. restored in lre"lnnd, however stern tho methods. Jlur(lorons giinp" must be broken up. Unlfss I am mistaken, wo shall do it. The Government must, proceed with the Hill providing self-government for Ireland T protest against the doctrine that'lreland must be given more than If' GlndstoT.e and Mr Asqnith pave in their Home Rule Bills, not been use Ireland docs not need more, but becnuso crime has been successful, and because n. cane of assassins is trying to bully 'i»sinto giving more. If we are to give Ireland comnlete Dominion Home Rule which Mr A.«i»iith now advocates, it will mean thnt Ireland can hnve our \aw and Army, enn shut Irish _ ports affiiinst British ships, ran organise her own submarine bases, can introduce eonBcrintion, and raise an army of half a million led hv Sinn Fetors, who hnvo vowed the destruction of Grent Britain. Dominion Home Rule in Ireland means crfnscription in Britnin as a defensive measure. Ireland wns enraged during the war in assisting the Ocrmnn submarine campnicn. Ireland stood at the Utewnv of Britain. Tho Irish coast is now "irrflcd with British wrecks. Ato to to hive Ireland ns our enemies' submarine hnro in the next war? "Was erer such hmncy proposed by anybody: , Britain is a crcat country, and hns done .more for lmn»»n fmnrlom other country that ever cxi-toi.

Replying to criticisms and proposals, and particularly Mr Asquith's suggestions, Viscount Grey s^ys: —"There are in Ireland ports which, if effectively equipped, can dominate our communications with tie .greater part of the world. They aro, in fact, gates between us and tho outer world, the keys <tf which must be held in London, not it; order to lock them, but to prevent their being locked against us. VVo cannot let a submarine base bo established in Ireland which is not under the control of tho British Admiralty. " "Regarding British responsibility for the domestic government of Ireland that, morally and politically, is a iailure. Tho truest way to fulfil our trust in Ireland is to winS up British management of purely Irish- affairs as soon as we can. It must be made clear that tho starting point of our policy is our conviction of tho incapacity of the British Parliament to manago purely Irish affairs, and our determination to end this tragic falnre. , Within certnin limits, frankly stated hv us, Irishmen must arrange their own Government. In no other way can Nationalists and TJlstermen bo made to realise that they must make conceseioas to each other. 1, MILITARY LOBBY BOMBED(Received October 10th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, October 8.
