HOME RULE
INTERESTING SPEECHES BOTH SIDES OF THE QUESTION. By Telesrrapli—Press Association —Copyright. (Received December 10, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. December 9. Mr Austen Chamberlain, in a speech at Bristol, referring to the Home Rule Question, said that, everybody was agreed that Ireland was now happier materially than at any previous time. Why, ho asked, should tho good work bo intorniptod ? Mr J. H. Campbell, Unionist M.P. for Dublin University, speaking at Hounslow, said that tho Irish enjoyed the same rights and privileges as the English. Their real grievances had been swept away by the Land Acts, and they wero now more self-reliant and independent and did not want Homo Rule.
Sir Rufus Isaacs, Attorney-General, presiding at a Homo Rule demonstration at Reading, denied Mr Bonar Law’s assertion that tho Government majority had been obtained on issues other than Homo Rule.
Mr J. E. Redmond said that Irishmen would never bo bribed by doles or coerced by imprisonment and oppression. They had on indestructible nationality and an historical national right to Home Rule. Ho added that Mr Bonar Law was most ungrateful in complaining of the influence of the Irish vote in Britain, because he owed his first election for Glasgow to the instructions of the , United Irish League.
