London, Juno 26.

In the House of Commons to-day Mr. Rowland Hunt (Unionist member for Ludlow) inquired whether Mr. Asquith would take special steps to prevent arms provided by Irish-Americans entering Ireland, thereby increasing the danger of civil war.

Mr. J. R. P. Newman (Unionist member for Enfield) asked whether the Government proposed to make representations to tho United States in the matter.

Mr. Lloyd George replied that the Government did not propose to make representations to the United States.

Mr. Hunt then inquired: "Are wo to understand that the Government will continue in political alliance with a party whose volunteers ai«> armed by the deadly enemies of this country?"

Mr. A. Lynch (Nationalist member for Clare) desired to know if the Ministry had ascertained how much American money had already come to Ireland to abet civil war through the agency of American heiresses.

Both questions remained unanswered.
