HOME RULE BILL CRITICS.
APPEAL TO DOMINIONS. , A. and N.Z LONDON. April 20. The Irish Dominion League is not supporting amendments to the Home Rule Bill, because tho measure is inconsistent with the fundamental features of the Dominion settlement. Sir Horace Plunkett has cabled to Mr. W. M. Hughes and the Prime Ministers of other Dominions, expressing the belief that the fundamental principles of the Australian Constitution are essential to Irish welfare, and protesting against the imposition, under militaristic coercion, of a Bill exacting an oppressive annual tribite and perpetuating partition. The league relies on Australia's suDoort for Ireland's demand of Dominion status, with adequate safeguards for minorities.
