[PItESS ASSOCIATION.] (Received Sept. 10, 11.40 p.m.)

LONDON, Sept. 10

Mr John Redmond, speaking afc Waterford prior to sailing for New York, said that unless the Government fulfilled their pledges they would: speedily find Ireland ungovernable. Compulsory powers were absolutely necessary to secure the complete settlement of the land question bufc unless Irishmen relinquished personalities and concentrated all their energieg on a united effort at reform their demands would not be conceded. Scenes like that at Newcastle West were a discredit and a disgrace, and sooner than again participate in internecine strife he would quit Irish politics altogether.

Mr Redmond added that the only human agency capable of seriously delaying the realisation of their hopes of Home Rule was dissension among themselves.
