THE IRISH PROBLEM

PKESS COMMENT ON CONVENTION

PROPOSAL

BT CABLE—PEESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. (Received May 23, 11.10 a.m.) LONDON, May 22. The. newspaper Irish Independent de- • clares that the Government has abandoned the partiSbn remedy, and therefore it will be pure waste of time for a ■convention to discuss it. Ireland will not be content with anything short of ;full colonial Home Rule. • The Irish Times states £na,t the con- ' rention, in order to have a chance of ■ success "must discuss partition. The Freeman's Journaj applauds the ■proposed convention.
