BISHOP OF LIMERICK'S VIEWS. (Elec. Tel. Copyright— United Press Assn.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received July 24> 2.15 p.m.) LONDON, July 23. The Bishop of Limerick has Avritten c 'strong letter, replying to a communication from a committee formed at Belfast to oppose Mr Lloyd George's proposals. "I can well understand," he Avrites, "your anxiety and indignation at the proposals of your own political leaden ' to cut you otf from your country. 1 have very little pity "for you, because you acquiesced m a kind of political servitude wherein your function was tc shout party shibboleths. You ceased tr be men. Your leaders consequently think they can sell you like chattels'. Our poor country is made a thing for truck and barter m the Liberal clubs. I doubt greatiy whether the partition scheme will become law. We have, piled such a mountain of debt and taxation upon Ireland that it becomes a matter of indifference whether we are included or not."
