A DELUSION
TALK OF IRISH REPUBLIC. LABOUR LEADER CANDID. LONDON, July 2. Mr J. H. Thomas, M.P., speaking at Bradford, said the Irish rebels were living in the hope of changing the complexion of the British Government and bring it nearer their political ideals. It would be deceiving them and doing a great injustice to the future good government of Ireland to allow the rebels to entertain such false illusions. Liberals, Tories, Coalitionists, and Labour were prepared to defend their respective policies. It would be deceiving the Irish and embarrassing those responsible for Irish government n Labour did not say plainly that talk of an Irish republic was a delusion. The loading rebels dream of something no British party would concede.
